Caesars hotel prices higher when logged in with status
It appears that I can make vegas hotel reservations for about 10%-20% cheaper if I'm not logged into my account, but if I'm logged in it waives the resort fees because I have Diamond status. It ends up coming out about even whether or not I book with status.
Should I just book without logging in and then call to get it linked to my rewards number and thus get the fees waived while also getting the cheaper base price?

I just looked at June and my rates are much cheaper logged in for All CET properties.
If you give an example of a specific property and date I can compare.
You should get waived resort fees regardless of how you book but the deposit may be higher ( total bill will be higher with RF) if you are not logged in

I wonder if any of this is due to the fact that I only have status via wyndham matching, and do not gamble when I go to vegas.

I'm specifically looking at the weekend of September 17-19, but I am no longer seeing the issue. Now it is cheaper if I am logged in. I went ahead and booked without being logged in and just need to link the reservation to my account.

I actually booked March madness 2022 the day before we lost our comp rooms
We have 5 night comp trips , Friday - Wed booked for June, October, January and March 2022
In case you are not aware you can transfer 30K Wyndham points to CET every year, 30K is worth $300 in on site food, bev, room rates, etc

I even had 5 nights booked 2 months ago but cancelled my trip and went back today to look at dates and noticed all COMP rooms vanished. However, when even trying to book with my current "offers" i.e 3 comp nights. ALL dates are "sold out" no matter the dates or the rooms selected..............
Without my normal 5 comp nights I might not even visit Vegas this year.
This HAS happened in the past and the comps and offers returned days or weeks later ... but it looks like they also updated their website for booking this time so maybe the comp nights are gone forever?

Just checked and I was able to get 5 nights comped on select dates in July for Caesars. I'm a Diamond Plus. Haven't had a Vegas trip at all this year. Going this week and used a dining credit offer which was only 3 nights, but called my host and got all 5 nights taken care of. Been getting normal emails and app offers.

So strange. I just noticed the same thing... Normally I would be able ot book any 5 nights in a row COMPd as a Normal Diamond status member.

I lost my comp night offers in ~ February and my wife lost hers in April, we are regular diamond members. No comp room offers have returned
Luckily we are booked comp for five nights this week, October, January and March madness 2022 which I literally booked on my wife's account one day before her comp room offers vanished.
We haven't been to Vegas is nearly 2 years so we'll see if some gambling and spending cash brings any offers back

I did just receive another email offer 3 nights 50dollars play. So That is better then nothing with resort fees still waived. I'll just wait until it comes closer to Thankgiving time for a new offer to be emailed. I also have host that I have never emailed but he has emailed me a few times in the past.
I normally visit Vegas once per year and gamble around 5k in 5nights but has been almost 2 years since last visit due to the obvious covid reasons.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I fully expected my offers to dry up eventually.. but ever since ive had founders diamond I have always had any days COMPD on the booking site up to 5. For maybe 4 years in a row now. Of course they split up the cheapo diamonds like myself and created D PLUS for real gamblers but like I said 2 months ago all was still normal.

To be honest I have no idea why we ever were receiving free nights.
I go on the website to check prices, we have ever received any emails with offers.

Yeah I signed up for all the Casino player's cards and still get random email offers from Aria and MGM and COSMO for 2-3 comp nights. With pretty much 100 dollar max gaming at them when I do visit Vegas.
However, even with there "compd" night offers... I would still have to pay 37-40 resort fees. Vs CET with no fees and 10-30dollar night stays SUN-Thursdays.
I really make use of the Diamond Lounges but probably wont have enough points to even enter them (if they are even open anymore.. maybe by November they will open again)

Diamond lounges aren't opening, I seen some work beijng done in Paris lounge as if it's being converted
I gambled a few $$ last week and my comp offers Sunday - Thursday returned with a few weekends here and there at Bally's
Our Mlife comp rooms have resort fees but the free play and resort credit offset 2 -3 nights depending on property

Today I just randomly checked Lake Tahoe rooms for COMPS and I have random up to 4 nights comped in a row throughout the upcoming months. So Looks like COMPs still exist. Just not for Vegas for me at this moment.
I have Been checking November dates for Vegas And currently have a Bally's reserved with very cheap rates. (no resort fees at least)

What I'd like to know is why when logged in to CET they may show various room types but never suites.
