Everything online says, "visit the desk for an instant match." That's great, but by then I've already secured a room elsewhere. Is there a way to match BEFORE I get to Vegas and, if so, can I expect a free room matching Caesars Diamond to MLife Gold? At Caesars I can get free (as in really free - no resort fees, etc.) rooms but would rather not take the L O N G walk each morning across the street to my conference. The "discounted" rate through my conference starts at $225/night + taxes/fees so for a 4 night conference I'm looking at $1,000. For that I'll walk across the street but it would sure be nice to stay at Bellagio.
If you don't have any play/spend at MLife I doubt simply matching from CET brings any instant free room offers especially these days where rooms in Vegas are $$$$$$$$$$$
Caesars and Bellagio are next door on the same side of LVB, yes you cross 592 ( W Flamingo) but it's only 10 minute walk tops door to door.
Bellagio resort fees are over $50 a night with tax so with room tax you are looking at more like $1100
All matches have to be done in person...........
