Thanks, appreciate the advice.
The smoke-free part is certainly appealing and I don't drink and gamble - playing slots is stupid enough without doing it drunk
Maybe 2 nights in Cleveland and 1 in Windsor (it will be over a weekend) will be the way to go. Especially since on the Sunday Windsor has a 10x RCs for Diamonds.
I will have a rental car - how is the crossing from Detroit? Or would I be better off leaving the car behind and just getting the tunnel bus that I believe goes very close to Caesars?
I've never been to Niagara Falls but after a few days of gambling that might be too dangerous a sidetrip. It looks like a long return trip from either Windsor or Cleveland too.

I'm glad I took your advice and went with Cleveland/Windsor
No problem with the rental car/border crossing
The view from the room at Caesars across the river to Detroit was nice.
The two free nights at the Ritz Carlton Cleveland had the added bonus of a $120 food and beverage credit and it was nice to not have to run the gauntlet of the slots to get into the hotel - having said that I found the range of slots at the Horseshoe Cleveland to be great , probably because it is a new casino.

When the promo first started it was Kiosks. But that could have changed since then, seeing there were reports RIO had Kiosks and when I was there in August you had to go to the TR desk.

For those wondering when points will post I looked it up. Reward Credits will be awarded on or before November 15, 2012. Good luck and let others know when they start posting.

I was expecting 75000 but got 47780 
I was hoping that it was from a couple of Multipliers that I thought I had been short-changed on 6-8 weeks ago but perhaps not.
Guess I'll have to wait 4 weeks until the next statement update to check the transaction

I started out with 68 reward credits yesterday which was correct. I should have the full 75,000 coming to me. This morning when i first checked I had 25,678, an hour later 34,565, and now I have 71,299. So for some reason my account in being incrementally credited. Hopefully I will end up with the correct amount of 75,068.....
