London Clubs International--The Empire Casino, London
Caesars owns the London Clubs International and you can have corporate USA,
contact London to status match you to Monogram Diamond level.
1. One other key benefit here: you can transfer part of your Total Rewards comp balance to the London Clubs at a exchange rate of 50%, so $100 would transfer to 50 Pounds Sterling. Based on the value of the Pound (when I went it was 1.75 per Dollar) this can be a fair deal.
2. You can transfer back Comp credit at 200% rate, example, so 100 Pounds Sterling would be $200 Dollars Comp.
Few people seem to be aware of this, but I really liked using 70 Pound comp, at the The Empire Casino, London: FuLuShou (it was different when I was there).
Monogram card holders enjoy 25% off the listed prices on the menu.
For Monogram Diamond Card Holders the discount is 30%.
New VIP Dragon Lounge: for Monogram/Monogram Diamond/Elite Card Holders
The Dragon Lounge is a 'club within a club' at the Empire Casino and offers the ultimate gaming experience for VIP customers.
Open exclusively to Monogram, Monogram Diamond, and Elite card holders, it is a dedicated higher stakes gaming area with its own private entrance, offering deluxe tables and exceptional service in luxurious surroundings.
An intimate dining area serving an extensive range of dishes freshly prepared by our chefs, a private bar and lounge for cocktails and relaxing, and a complimentary food and drink menu, mean you are well catered for in the Dragon Lounge.

Hopefully they renew the contract soon. I used my diamond for waived resort fees combined with already free stays in Vegas and in Indiana. (horseshoe casino)
I Plan on visiting Vegas again for another free 5 nights this June.
5 nights waived resort fees 160ish
100 dollar dinner credit
Diamond lounges
Skip lines
Possible free room upgrades.
I think its well worth it if you visit vegas twice per year. Which I already usually did anyway.
here is my referral if anyone needs it.

We are still waiting for them to renew the contract and update our Diamond Status which expires Jan 31st. Once they renew it mine should expire in July which would be 1 year from the start of my founderscard membership.

Appreciate if a couple could use my referral: https://founderscard.com/membership?...=FCJENNIFER545
Diamond is great! Unfortunately I made it there this year from going-lol. Hilton Gold Status is worth it too.

Changes Coming?
Just read on Vegas Message Board that someone heard from their host that changes are coming for Founderscard members.
http://www.vegasmessageboard.com/for...hanges.137768/
Not sure if true, but thought I would share with everyone.

The irony, is those that "brag" are the ones that will be most upset. I can qualify for Diamond personally in a few hours....

I'm one of those "real" diamonds, and others using the founder's card perk doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't diminish my benefits in any way. However, I'm surprised TR hadn't caught on how expensive the $100 dinner and show tickets are to them, not to mention resort fees and parking.
I wonder if they'll replace the FC Diamond perk with something like the TR credit card VIP benefit (which is basically the same as the Diamond line pass with no celebration dinner, lounge access or show tickets, or waived resort or parking fees).

I honestly just hope it doesn't change to piss off the wanna be elite. The people that swear they know FC members are ruining their exclusivity. Sheesh. Gimme a break.

The original poster seems to have a problem with people who received Diamond status through the FC's card. Perhaps this poster is angry because he/she lost thousands for the privileges that others received for $395 or less. I can't help but believe that this is wishful thinking on their part. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

What I don't get is if the legitimately put in say $75,000 coin in for diamond in slots, he'd have way more than these FC diamond benefits. He'd have comp rooms, something that non playing FC diamonds won't get as comp rooms are based off ADT from playing not status. He'd get additional comps from all the reward credits from that play. Again, this is all stuff no or low playing diamonds won't really get.
As pointed out already, only someone living in Vegas can even really abuse the benefits. AC as posted charges $10 in RC unless you have 25k tier+. I suppose there are other diamond lounges at local properties but the food from real restaurants are actually better than at the lounges and a real diamond would get those comps from play.
Only a few of the Vegas properties even have a line and that's for the two plates of hot food served 4-6pm. Almost all the places serve chicken wings daily. Personally I just walk across the street if I don't get into Caesars by 4pm rather than waiting.
The only time I saw ridiculous lines at multiple locations (Caesars and Harrahs) was during the Great Gift wrap event and "fake" FC diamonds with no play wouldn't be participating in those events. (Paris had a line during their Great Gift wrap event in Nov). Incidentally, and I probably shouldn't revel this for selfish reasons, Planet Hollywood is always the least crowded (Rio too).
Edit:
Seven stars can skip the diamond people so I'm almost certain complainer isn't 7*. Maybe he's a platinum who maybe didn't requalify for diamond and he's angry that FC people are getting. Comp resort fees and other benefits, or again someone that made Diamond, but not any Diamond aspirations levels, and solely uses these equivalent FC benefits and doesn't play enough to get the extra food comps that many use to escape the diamond lounge food. Who knows though?
The diamond show list was pitiful this month except for Penn and Teller and maybe Wanderers. It was posted that High Roller is no longer free but just half off as the diamond ticket benefit
