When we’re referring to “offer”, we’re referring to the offer for your rate to go on a Beau Rivage Charters.
Basic concepts of charter rates (If you’re only going to read for the next 30 seconds, read this —>)
Offers are determined by your Average Daily Theoretical (or ADT) with MGM Rewards (Read more on ADT here).
Each Beau Rivage charter has a unique criteria level that’s needed for a “comp” rate of $50 per person, or better.
The Beau Rivage is constantly evaluating each trip’s criteria level, and changing the criteria based on customer demand, and supply of remaining seats available.
One example you need to read through
Okay, please read this as well. Let’s look a few imaginary guests (along with their ADTs) who’ve submitted quotes to go to the Beau Rivage from St. Petersburg, FL on from 5/25 - 5/29. Let’s call it a Beau Rivage Vacation 🙂
As you can see in the example above, Clark and Ellen are quoted a full comp, Eddie Johnson is quoted at $50 per person, Nick Papgiorgio is quoted at $399 per person, and Audrey Griswold is quoted at $586.16 per person.
Frequently Asked Questions / Examples
“How are my rates determined”?
When you submit for a quote or reservation request, we (Casino Gold Tours) submits your request to the Beau Rivage. The Beau Rivage checks what that trip’s criteria is. From there, we let you know what your rate is.
“I tried to book the day the dates were released, and was told it’s sold out. How can the trip be sold out?”
Not every trip is avialable to book by every guest. The Beau Rivage charter team may choose to ‘yield’ the trip to a certain comp criteria.
Certain trips have booking criteria that’s set at a certain ADT from the day they’re released, meaning guests below comp criteria may be told it’s sold out (to their play level), and they’ve been placed on the waitlist.
“How often does criteria for a trip change?”
Each trip is looked at on a near daily basis and re-assessed based on remaining inventory.
Typically, guests who pay comp rates or better will more often than not, will continue to get quoted that rate. The same rule applies for guests who are quoted retail rates.
“Why are some trips have higher criteria than others?”
Some trips have much higher demand than others, which would cause the comp criteria rate to be increased.
For example, a trip over New Year’s Eve may have a comp criteria of 750 ADT, where as a weekday trip in January may have a comp criteria of 300 ADT
“I used to get comp’d trips, why does the Beau Rivage want me to pay?”
The answer here generally falls to one of the following:
The criteria for this trip (or all trips) has increased
Your ADT has dropped as of recent
I often hear this question from guests who were getting comp’d to go during Covid, when demand was lower than it was in 2021 and 2022. The comp criteria in 2023 is now higher than what it was during Covid, which is where these discrepancies may fall.
“I’m a Sapphire (or Pearl, Gold, or Platinum) player - why do I have to pay to go on this trip?”
Booking criteria is based on ADT, and your tier status is NOT evaluated when looking at charter rates. Let’s look at the following example →
Frank plays for 30 minutes a day, 5 days all year at his local MGM casino.
Sally goes on two separate 4-day trips to the Beau Rivage, and plays for 6 hours each day on those trips.
Frank will likely achieve a higher tier status than Sally, but Sally will get better rates to go on a charter, because she has a higher ADT than Frank.
“I haven’t played with MGM Rewards in a few years - how far back will they look at my play?”
Typically, your play is rated in the past 24 months.
