Ceasars Ent Comps Bad?

IMO I think they are pretty bad in Vegas, but okay in other places.

Never an issue getting a comped room anytime in Vegas, and I fluctuate between a low level and mid level Diamond each year. I get lots of emails daily for Vegas offers too.
But with the exception of an annual birthday that's pretty good, I never get anything that would entice me to even go to Vegas. An extra $40 in freeplay for one day of my stay isn't going to excite me, it will be gone in less than 5 minutes. Plus I find their slots/VP to be about as tight as you can find there.

Now some of their other properties can be pretty good. I get some nice offers to go to my local Harrah's here- Ak Chin- sometimes as much as $200 in freeplay per day plus food money, bonus points, etc. I end up with a lot of extra points from these trips that I end up just comping myself off them on my Vegas trips.

 

CET changed their limo policy a few years ago. 7 Stars used to get airport limos and it did not hit your room folio, it's no longer the case.

When you mention rolling serious money through.....everyone one has their own definition of serious money. I would reference theo so people can compare apples to apples.

The value of my offers dropped a couple of years ago, as did most people. ADT rules the roost for offers. I'm
7 stars, but know low level Diamonds with higher ADTs.

As far as comps are concerned, I never sweat that my folio will be comped on the back end. I consider myself a mid level table player with trip theo between 3500 - 7000. I get airport limos, food and beverage, room/suites, spa salon, retail, show tickets (including charge backs). Their TR program gives me DA2 airfare for $750 and 7* airfare for $1200. I've stayed at Cosmo and IMO, the comps generated for the same table play is a fraction of what I get at CET. My understanding is that Cosmo requires a $50k loss for backend airfare. That certainly is not the case at CET.

I don't care about upfront Food and Beverage as long as the back end comp takes care of everything.

I'm sure others will disagree, but if you compare the top tier of mlife( platimum, since noir is touchy feely) and Cosmo to CET.....I think I get a bigger bang for my play at CET. But stay at a property you like, feel lucky and appreciated.

 

I am guessing this is a typo, but if not, I know why your comps evaporated.

 

You are not alone. I actually walked away from Total Rewards in January of 2015. That was when the bankruptcy thing hit and they chopped almost everyone's free play in half. I know I went from $450 (I was Diamond with good coin-in, all slots) to $225 in free play in Vegas. A few months later it was $200.

So I stayed away, I was getting more from better clubs in town. So why go back? Over 2 years later and my free play offers are next to nothing. No visits from me, you would have thought they would try to entice me back with something. nope. I still have nearly every night free at any casino they own. But why bother.

As for Bellagio coming at you hard, you are new to them. They are giving you a feeler offer. They want to see what you can do, on property and comped. Sadly those offers usually get reduced unless you blow the doors off the joint.

The main problem with CET is that they give away rooms to anyone. So their casinos are full, with most players being low level. That chews up money and space for the bigger ballers.

If you play big, go to a better club. See what Mlife or Wynn will offer you for your play. Find a host at Venetian and see what you can pull. Shop around. Thats what I did.

The long term play for CET is not bright. They have the highest holds on their machines and the properties, in general, are among the most in need of rehab on the strip.

 

I know Bellagio is Mlife, I'm Platinum with them

Honestly, once you switch to Mlife its so hard to go back to liking anything Total Rewards. TR its $5 coin-in to earn a penny in comp, less than a penny if you turn your points into free play. MLife (outside of the stupid specialty slots) its $3 coin-in and that gets you 1 penny in free play AND 1 penny in comps. They add up really fast.

The resorts are better, the properties cleaner, the machines looser & the dining hugely better. The only thing I do miss about being Diamond was the lounges. I will give them that. But the money I save while slotting could buy me all the redbull and cold chicken wings I want!

I hear Cosmo is very fair with comps, and I love the rooms and location. I just hate being stuck to one place on vacation. With the bigger clubs you can hop around and still earn comps.

 

Is it mlife that table players do not earn any express comps?
