The big draw of the Caesar's promotion is that I could earn qualifying nights with SPG on comp'd stay. CET has a large portfolio of properties at which I can get fully comp'd stays based on my play patterns. Don't know if I can replicate that without Caesar's.

How's plat treatment at Cosmo? How's their players' club program?

Ceasars allowed limited stay/night credits to your SPG accounts. Staying at the Marriott does not at present. Although there is also the renovated Westin, the SLS and W now, albeit none of them at prime locations.

If it's really true that the Marriott <-> Cosmo relationship is why this is canceled, then I think that's the first negative impact I've seen from the SPG+Marriott merger.

I guess now that they have the W LV and the Westin they think they don't need the partnership anymore.
Cosmo is a nice property but I wouldn't expect a lot of benefits there and it's not going to help with SPG requalification since the programs are still being run separately.

Well, this stinks. The Cosmopolitan is a downgrade as far as I'm concerned.

already pushed to page 2 and soon to be page 3 at this point. The post garnered a whopping 7 comments, two of which were a duplicate post...

More likely that Caesar's was quickly heading towards bankruptcy when the deal was signed. They needed any revenue they could get. Now that they are climbing back out and presumably dumped a lot of their debt, and business in Las Vegas has vastly improved, they have less need for the partnership.

This is a bummer for me. I have reservations at Caesar's for six days in January for an industry conference. I'm only GLD right now, so I wouldn't have received any benefits, but I would have been well on my way to PLT with the other travel I have planned. This will push getting over that hurdle back by 4 to 6 weeks.
