True.. But it's "if" you can use it. I'm on a few gaming forums, and I've yet to hear anyone use that earned benefit successfully. For most people, if they earned 5K TCs, they would most likely not have a need for it since they get offers already or have more open availability through the rate calendar. AFAIK, the 5K TC free night offer has a lot of restrictions and blackout dates. Using it online is null, and according to CR reps I've spoke to, you would have to call VIP services or work with a host to use it. Also, you won't be able to use it to stack on top of an offer or extend comp nights (CR offers/comps have a 5 day/night max policy, unless a host overrides it or if you have 48 hours in between comps/offers). The offer would prob work best for locals that go in and do minimum play with a low ADT, thus not receiving any significant offers or availability on the rate calendar.

I’m hoping you all can help me with a few newbie questions. I matched from Wyndham diamond to CET diamond a few days ago. Do not have a CET card yet (and have not “verified” account with ID at desk). Going to LAS in one month.

1. Do I have to go to a TR desk at CET to have the celebration dinner loaded to account? Or does it happen automatically?

2. Is there any way to get advanced tix for the free LV shows without going to the LV TR CET desk? If not, any way to get these at a nonLV CET property (for LV show)?

3. I’m assuming you do not have to be staying at a CET prop to redeem the above. Is that correct?

4. Can non guests use CET lounge (with point charge)? Would there be any reason to? For a champagne break or whatever?

5. Where does one see comp nights on the calendar? I see only PROMO nights. Read somewhere they show comp calendar.
1. The celebration usually takes a few days and up to 2 weeks to load into account after your tier gets renewed. I would call CR and verify with them prior going to LV that your celebration dinner is loaded onto your account.

2. Nope. Can only get it locally in LV. You don't necessarily have to go or redeem the day of the show. Should stop by any of the CR centers the first day/night you're there and gauge what you want, in case it's not available. I believe you have either 3 or 5 days to use them, can't remember exactly. Use this link to view the shows and dates available for it. https://totalrewards.custhelp.com/ap...0show%20ticket

3. You do not have to stay at a CET property to use any of the benefits.

4. Yeap. As long as you're able to to pay the $10 in reward credits (1K RC per person).

5. On CR website after you log in, just click "BOOK NOW" in the top right. Select "Las Vegas" (you can select a specific property, but if you select LV as a whole, it will show you every single property's availability instead of viewing each one individually). then for dates select "FLEXIBLE DATES" and then the month you want to view. A rate calendar will pop up and if any days are comped it would say "COMP" or show a price.

If you have any offers, it would be back on the main CR page under "MY OFFERS" on the right hand side.

Those free nights don't show up on the calendar - you have to use the specific offer codes. It's usually the only way I get comp weekend rooms in AC.

That's correct, it's under My Offers. I was just stating that for most people that earned 5K+ TCs naturally would usually have offers already or better rate calendar availability.

Good for you. How many did you earn? You didn't have a hard time using them?

Does this same link work to view shows month to month,, in other words come March would clicking the same link show the March shows ?

I had a link saved a while back and it stopped working. Thanks

It'sa bit of a pain to user the offer codes but other than that no. I think I used 2 last year.

Thank you SO MUCH. That really helps with planning. If the dinner isn't loaded onto account by next week, I'll call. If they can't do it, I'll run a very long errand to nearby CET prop.

Just booked an extra night for $10 all in. It's great that diamonds don't pay resort fees. Wish they would do that at MLife.

X2 - this is by far the best direct benefit to being Diamond. My favorite indirect (non-monetary) benefit is the Diamond check-in. You can easily wait 1+ hour to check-in to Caesar properties in the regular line. Even with the whole online check-in thing it's a total disaster during peak times. Flamingo Las Vegas seems to be the worst. With Diamond you just walk right in and are greeted with a bottle of water and a cookie!

Yep - just to the left of the main check-in near the bell desk. I've done the exact same thing when going to Vegas with the wife and kids. We stay at a timeshare off the strip but it's awesome to have somewhere to go crash for a nap or let the kids veg for couple hours.

We are leaving our teen and preteen back at the Bellagio (where we are staying for the week) for a few hours.

Just note often the Diamond check in area only has certain hours (at Caesars it is like until Midnight but other properties it is much more limited). But when it is closed; typically there is a Diamond check in line at the regular check in desk so you can bypass the line.

It's been working for the last few months for me as I have it bookmarked. Yes, it used to be a different link but changed when Total Rewards transitioned to Caesars Rewards. If it ever stop working again just use the FAQ Search page at https://totalrewards.custhelp.com/ap...rs/list/search and search for "show benefit"

What day did you book?

I booked @ Flamingo APR 14-17 at $8, $14, $13.......$33 = $11/night.

But after I booked almost all of the cheap nights at Flamingo disappeared for the year.
Strange web site I log into a Diamond member.

3/8. But there are still cheap nights around. I went back to see about another night but our dates are no good for cheap nights.
