You might see the $395 as the year moves along. I would think a January/February renewal is the worst. It's an auto renewal and by the book it is non-refundable. So you get locked in for the year, with the best perk up for negotiation, and if f it goes away, you are stuck.

I would like to join the Founders Card.
Can you honor this promotion: Rate of $395 per year and have the $95 initiation fee waived.

Yes, they will. Just check in at desk. Don't use express check-in.

I re-booked my reservations after I was approved for Diamond. I liked seeing the res without the resort fees. Also, go to the TR desk for your card before checking in and you can use the VIP entrance for check in, usually no waiting and better service.

Seems June is initiation fee waiver month. So, perhaps, if one needed to sign up you could save the $95 initiation fee by signing up prior to 30 June 2017.

FYI - After not being able to find a working 395 with waived initiation fee, I emailed FoundersCard and the provided a code for the above good through EOW.
For those applying, just email them and tell them you want 395 with waived initiation fee - seems to work consistently.

Also, when you go get your Diamond card, pick up your $100 voucher for your celebration dinner. Then hit the Diamond lounge and suck up $100 of free booze, and you've just about recouped your cost.
I re-booked my reservations after I was approved for Diamond. I liked seeing the res without the resort fees. Also, go to the TR desk for your card before checking in and you can use the VIP entrance for check in, usually no waiting and better service.

Flamingo, Rio, and Harrah's aren't that great. (grab a beverage/snack and move on) Planet Hollywood, Paris, and Caesars are the better one's in the town. Linq and Bally's have no lounge of their own.
Go to the one in Paris and Caesars if you like to sit at the bar and relax. Go to PH if you like to watch sports and sit in the back of the lounge.
Also if travelling in Tunica/Northern Mississippi/Memphis area the DL in the Horseshoe is also pretty nice. It was my first DL as a player back before I got Founders and I still consider it one of the better ones of the Caesar's properties.
Best free Vegas show is probably Penn and Teller. If you saw it in 2016 they have changed quite a bit so it's worth going again. Get your tix early as the comps get gone fast.
