TR in AC - similar to LV?

I'm a diamond with CET and I am taking my first trip to AC in a few weeks on a nice offer at Caesars. Can I charge to the room at any CET property in AC, like you can in LV? I hear the pier restaurants (especially one I have heard great things about - Phillips Sea Food) can also be charged to the room? Anything else I need to know about some of your favorite things at the CET AC properties?

thanks

Yes you can charge most things to the room (provided you present a cc when you check-in). Except for tips, you can use reward points to pay your bill at the end. If you pay with a cc (or cash), those payments count into your reward bank. [Some restaurants, like Mortons Steak house in Caesars, require 2x reward credits for each $ of your bill. I'm not sure about the 2x for pier restaurants.)

thanks for the info...actually looking at McCormick & Schmick's at Harrahs specifically for a special dinner. Any idea if they do the RCs 2x instead of 1x?

thanks

McCormick & Schmick's is 2-1 It is good food.

I think all pier restaurants are 2-1 also. Basically if a restaurant is not owned and operated by CET it is 2-1.

A nice thing about being diamond in AC is free food at all CET properties. All four casinos have diamond lounges with a hot entree or two available, plus salad bar and desserts. The lounges are only open for lunch and dinner. The food is not top-shelf, but I'm usually happy with it.

The Bally's lounge is my favorite (about the only thing I like about Bally's). It has a whole wall of windows that look out over the ocean. It is also the biggest of the lounges so the wait to get in is usually short.

Enjoy your trip to AC.

The last time I used Bally's Diamond Lounge it was smaller in size than Caesars which also has a wall of windows overlooking the ocean. I've almost never had to wait to get into Caesars DL.
As a side note, the DL in New Orleans is really small and has mostly fruit and cheese cubes. In Las Vegas, they have hot snacks for two hours and the rest is pretzels, potato chips and various kinds of dips and a few desert items.

Call a host at Caesars and make it clear to them in advance that you want to stay only at Caesars and you don't want to get walked to someplace like the Claridge.

In another thread here on FT, Claridge rooms were described as what one might see in many spy movies=interrogation rooms; and I agree (as I have stayed in the Claridge).
