They are good responding. Last year was autorenewed at $395; then saw $295/yr for 2 years--emailed, they said no problem.
We hit Vegas 2-4x/yr for 3-7 nts/trip so resort fees alone make this perfect. Hilton is nice & will pull the Marriott upgrade for our Hawaii trip this fall.
I will give my .02 on LV Diamond lounges as it is slightly different than above review.
CP & Paris have best ambiance--also most crowded & wings EVERY NIGHT. Wings aren't bad, but kinda ridiculous.
Harrahs lacks in ambiance, but has the biggest bar & REAL FOOD for dinner. Best hot food offering in Vegas.
Rio--I like the windows.
PH--very "meh" for me, but definitely best place to watch sports, no contest
Flamingo--NEVER AGAIN. Tried last summer & found NOTHING appealing--"mystery meat", no ambiance, poor service. Tried again this spring--while the food was not offensive this time, nothing to write home about. Service still sucked & of course ambiance didn't change.
FCKRISTIN182--if anyone needs an FC promo code

Most of the promos now are $495 or $395x2 for two years. There is a waiver of the $95 initiation fee now. The $395 1 year (instead of $495) often appears at some point during the year (it did appear in March 2017, IIRC for a few weeks). My promo is definitely the $495 ($395x2) with initiation fee waiver, for June 2017.

Thanks. I am going to a conference at Caesars in November and will be staying 3 or 4 nights in Vegas. I usually stay elsewhere (like Wynn through Amex fine hotels and resorts) since I always rent car and parking used to be free. Just trying to figure out if I want to stay at Caesars for convenience and if this card can provide enough value to get it.

Just one trip, no. A trip and Atlantis sounds better. Obviously, the more trips you make the better the value and the more of the other perks you use, more icing is applied liberally on top. Got a local CET? Something else to add to the value pot.

What is the strategy around renewals? I believe I am on autobill at $395, I think I read something about getting a amazon gift card or something?

The strategy is to call or email and ask, the worst they can do is say no. When I mentioned canceling the card they had no problem in giving me the offer I asked for..

I know a number of people got "upset" last year, since the pending renewal did not happen until early February 2017. My suggestion, is that you just consider it Diamond Total Rewards Status until 31 January 2018 with a "chance" of renewal until 2019.

IF FoundersCard renews with Caesars for 2018/19, your Diamond Status will be renewed. But, that is NOT a guarantee. You are only guaranteed status until 31 January 2018. Renewal is usually announced sometime in January 2018. Nobody can guarantee it will be renewed, but it has been for the past few years..
