Again, out of all the markets that lost their Laurel Lounges, a replacement benefit is only available in the Las Vegas market.
Seems ACY has retained most of its lounges which is a very good thing.
Unfortunately, most other markets lost their lounges. And only in Vegas has anything been provided to make up for that permanent closure of lounges.
To me, it's a clear devaluation. Especially given the loss of the parallel benefit of free drinks for Diamonds in restaurants even at properties that had open lounges.
