So in Vegas, MLife rooms, Wynn are the only room that I know of where you can only use poker room comps for food. Venetian you can use them for food or pay your tournament entry fees (deep stacks, daily tournaments etc) With Mlife at 75 hours of poker room play you can get your card upgraded to Pearl for free parking.

The best way to get comps is to sign up for each casino’s Player’s Card and use it when gambling, dining, etc. Your card will build points, and depending on your level, you’ll receive comps via the mail from the casino. Another way to enter to win comps is by following TunicaMS on Facebook and Twitter. Gambling is restricted in USA. A few states such as New Jersey and Pennsylvania permit online gambling to persons over 21 years. Land based casinos are popular and legal in most states.

3. How Do Casinos Determine Comps

Do you know if a host would confirm your % of theoretical loss that they will comp or even if it's ok to ask such a question?

Its a bit gauche to even ask, and I assure you of one thing, if any host does confirm anything, he generally loses his job. Well, okay its not quite that bad, but in general the casino does not want to do anything more than indicate what their usual procedures are but never agree to actually apply those procedures in your particular case. They do not want you to be able to wiggle out of your betting. They want to SEE your action, not hear your promises. They you can see comps.
Play at a BJ table with someone likes time consuming side bets.. you can be actually playing far less than the computerized Comp Rate.
On-Edit: By the way its best to know your theo and know what you have been getting in comps but don't hold a casino to a rumored industry percentage. Some casinos sweeten deals for you if you are relatively new, some don't. Some casinos invest in players future, some only want to see your present action. And somewhere somehow in the dark dim resources of the casino computer, some excess static may have told the computer not to like you. So just go with the flow on the comps and do your business where you enjoy it and they enjoy having you.

$50 Blackjack 6 deck with surrender, resplit, double on any, hit soft 17

At NYNY you can go into the high limit room and play for $50 minimums and get these same rules, except S17 (I'm not sure if $50 is available all the time, but I've seen and played it. They also have a double deck game with very good rules -- same as 6-deck, except no surrender)
As for the rest of your post, this is not how M-life casinos calculate comps or theoretical. They are actually pretty open about it -- it's in their brochures.
A $25 average bet for an hour will get you 550 tier credits. It scales up linearly, so a $50 average bet for an hour will get you 1100 tier credits.
Different games have different 'multipliers'. So if you are betting $25 at blackjack, they will rate you $25. But some games might have a multiplier of 2, so if you are betting $25 at those games, they would rate you $50. If you are not sure about the multiplier on a game you can just ask the person who is rating you -- again, they are open about it. The multiplier on craps is 1, but if you make a lot of sucker bets they will rate you higher. If you tip well they will rate you higher, too (not a rule, of course, but that's how it usually works out) Remember that if you are moving your bets around, your 'average bet' is just an approximation, so they have a lot of leeway. If they like you, you will get better ratings. (This is not really true if you are flat-betting)
At Baccarat they expect you to play about half the hands. So if you bet $100 per hand every single hand, they will rate you at $200. They do not rate you differently based on whether you bet player or banker. Note that at MGM casinos, games with $100 minimums are usually 'squeeze' games which are A LOT slower than dealer-turned games, but the rating is the same. So, betting $100 for half the hands at a $100 table will get you the same rating as betting $50 for all the hands at a $50 table, but the game will move much, much slower so you will lose a lot less per hour.
At blackjack you get the same rating whether you are playing at a S17 or H17 table, and whether you are playing at a table that gets 150 hands an hour, or 50. If you are at a casino where they use a computer to track your play, they may 'pause' you when you get up to leave the table (eg, bathroom break). If they are using the paper slips, they almost certainly will not bother.
So, back to the comps. I mentioned a certain amount of tier credits that you will get -- 550 per $25 rated bet per hour. Each 1000 tier credits will get you $1 in express comps (before tier multiplier -- if you have the higher level cards, you get get this number multiplied by 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4 for pearl, gold, plantinum, and noir respectively) Note that your tier credits do not get multiplied; only your express comps and (if you play machines) your slot points (which are worth freeplay).
Now, this is really not very much in comps. $100/hand for four hours will get you $17.60 in express comps (before multipliers), which is not very much. But, this level of play is probably enough to get you a free room at most properties on most nights (you may need a bit more at the higher-end properties, but you are talking about NYNY, Monte Carlo, and Luxor, which are not high end). This is why you need a host. A host will comp you in addition to your express comps. If you don't have a host, you can check out at the player's club desk, and they will call the on-call host, who can look at your play, but in my experience, my host is MUCH more generous than the on-call host.
I find that if you are betting black, they will see that you don't have a host when they put you into the computer, and will call one to come over and talk to you (this is how I've gotten all my hosts). You can also just ask -- the supervisor or pit boss will call one, who will likely give you a business card and ask you to call them before you check out. At a place like Luxor, Monte Carlo, or NYNY, $50 bets should be enough to get a host.
Also, FWIW, out of all of those places, I would choose the Monte Carlo if I was going to stay there. Luxor is a dump IMO, and I like NYNY's casino but I've heard bad things about the hotel. Monte Carlo is small (tiny by strip casino standards) and low-limit, but it's kind of nice, IMO. Not fancy, but nice. And the newly-renovated rooms are pretty good.
(Sorry that this post was so long, but I hope you found the info useful)

Its a bit gauche to even ask, and I assure you of one thing, if any host does confirm anything, he generally loses his job. Well, okay its not quite that bad, but in general the casino does not want to do anything more than indicate what their usual procedures are but never agree to actually apply those procedures in your particular case.

I don't think that this is the case at all. My host told me that the goal was to comp at 30% of theoretical. I didn't even ask -- it just came up. I was also shown the computer screen with all my sessions, my actual win/loss, the theoretical, and how much my 'goal' comp amount was.

(Sorry that this post was so long, but I hope you found the info useful)

Thank you and this wasn't too long all. The more information the better.
When we talk about multipliers I guess 00 roulette due to high house edge would have a multiplier? Not a great game I know but I only really play roulette when my lady joins me on the casino floor for an hour here and there. I obviously look out for a single 0 or even better a European when available.
If we put express comps to one side, what would we expect from host comps on the originally quoted gambling levels?
If we had a room covered on an advanced comp from a host before arriving would this be held against you for any new comps during the stay?

I'm not chasing comps but I'm trying to work out what my expected would be based on the following play at NYNY/Monte Carlo/Luxor?
$50 Blackjack 6 deck with surrender, resplit, double on any, hit soft 17
Hands per Hour X House Edge X Avg Bet X Hours Played X Days = $xyz x40%
70 x 0.0075 x 50 x 4 x 7 = $735.00 (x40%) = $294.00
$25 Craps pass line (& odds), buy 6 & 8
Hands per Hour X House Edge X Avg Bet X Hours Played X Days = $xyz x40%
48 x 0.0141 x 75 x 4 x 7 = $1421.28 (x40%) = $568.51
$50 Baccarat banker
Hands per Hour X House Edge X Avg Bet X Hours Played X Days = $xyz x40%
72 x 0.0106 x 50 x 4 x 7 = $1068.48 (x40%) = $427.39
$50 Roulette 00 inside spread
Hands per Hour X House Edge X Avg Bet X Hours Played X Days = $xyz x40%
38 x 0.0526 x 50 x 4 x 7 = $2798.32 (x40%) = $1,119.33
Are these fair estimates?

You must differentiate between points and actual Comps. The $ value you show is some theoretical value only. You never get that money. Points earned is of little value actually. Most points can be earned in BJ at a slow full table. I don't play Craps. Bac, the house is always looking out for players playing for the points due to the low HA. Where I play if you don't bet 3 rounds in a row you get no points. Roulette I say you must have a hole in your head to play the double zero at 5.26% HA.
You can get a lot of points but no Comps. Incidentally maximum Comps MGM will give is 30%. You must play some Slots to get Comps like rooms etc. The points only tell the casino whether you are a regular player or once awhile player.
