Steven, six of the seven nights that we are staying are comped, and we only play nickels. You will not find such generosity on the strip. Downtown or locals' joints bring the most comps for your gambling dollar. Full pay (or the closest to it you can find) Video Poker played knowledgeably will be your best bet in machines. You will usually find better pay schedules in quarters than in nickels. I say usually because I know a nickel machine at an Indian casino that has 10/6 Double Double Bonus Poker. With perfect play it returns 100.067%. As you know, it is unusual for the player to have an edge on the house.

By the way, this is one of the very few times that I won't give away the location of good VP, but if that one machine loses too much, you can bet that the casino will lower the pay schedule.
