This wont apply to everyone...I am an earned Platinum (via play) and I was poking around on the TR website today. I never book my rooms via the offers section. I simply log in and select the dates I wish to stay (do not put in an offer code). I snagged The Linq for next June (long weekend) completely comped and since I am platinum I will not have to pay resort fees. Never been to Vegas (AC enthusiast) and am very excited about staying at the recently renovated Linq.
If you plat at any of the CET props be sure to try this "trick" on their website before looking elsewhere.
