Caesars has renovated most of the property, and has a LOT more room choices; so chances are (unless you are there on a sold out weekend), you probably won't be stuck in an awful (circa 1999) room.
Yeah, it looks like Paris doesn't offer their "red" rooms as part of the offer I'm getting. Luxury and Premier, but not red room luxury or premier. I could always hope for a $20-trick upgrade, but for this offer I'll stick to Caesars, where I can lock in a Palace Tower Premier room and then hope to get upgraded to something better. ("Augustus Tower Deluxe" shows up as theoretically available on the offer, but usually only one or two nights price out as free, whereas Palace Premium is usually good for three nights)
