I remember I spent several days in Caesars when I visited Vegas as they gave Starpoint and status stay/night count there. I don't remember exactly but perhaps already excluded from PLT/GLD benefit in that property in 2000-2002.
I hope those nights should have counted for Life Time Elites. But there is no way to confirm it...

I just missed signing up for the weekend. (It let me into the site, but in the 2 minutes I thought about it, the message changed to "Waiting List" - FYI, the waiting list function appears to be broken).
But I can't complain. I got a great show for another weekend, so I am happy.

There *is* a stay credit towards annual gold/platinum. It's just limited to 10 days per year, and doesn't count to lifetime status. In the grand scheme of most people's habits, this is still a win.

From what I'm understanding on this, you can have up to 10 *night* credits towards your 25/50, but it does not count at ALL towards your 10/25 *stay* credits.
This is also, unfortunately, a dealbreaker for the hubs and I as well. We usually get our 25 stay credits, but never close enough for the night credits. The guest weekend looks pretty flippin' cool though.

For example, LV is full of wonderful and cheap hotels. I cannot find no reason to choose this poor deal by giving up other nice deals.
I will happily choose Aria or MO in spite of a little more money. QN but NO QS? I've never heard of this kind of weird and poor condition in the hotel loyalty programs.

I was ready to hit submit and was waiting for confirmation from my girlfriend that she was free on the dates when it went to the wait list page, this was within 20 minutes of the allocated reserve time. I'm so upset! The website should have been working properly but it didn't and I got screwed!
I hope some availability opens up but I doubt it. So disappointing that I missed this deal.

My brain is working slowly, so bear with me:
I'm SPG Gold, going to LV in January and already had reservations at a Ceasar's property. So now I just give them my *W number when I check in and I receive night credit and starpoints?
Do you choose between starpoints and TR points?

February 21-23. Looks like 15k Starpoints gets you (And a guest) a free two nights at Caesar's, Planet Hollywood or Paris Las Vegas. Also included:
Friday:
Taste of Caesars Evening Reception
Nobu After Hours Reception
Saturday:
Blackjack Tournament at Planet Hollywood with a grand prize of 1mm Starpoints.
Evening: Choice of-
Britney: "Piece of Me" show at PH or Jersey Boys at Paris or Celine Dion at Caesars
Sunday: Brunch at Mon Ami Gabi in Paris.
If I wasn't already going to Vegas a month prior and a month after, I would probably take them up on this--seems like a pretty solid offer.

It appears we can redeem starpoints for stays starting in January? Is the # of SPG points per property published yet? Specifically curious about Atlantic City. I too chose mLife and will continue to in Las Vegas, but Caesars in AC would be better than the Sheraton at the Convention center...

But in any event, I'm checking out of a Caesars property on January 8th.

I have not read anything that makes me think Nobu Hotel is close to competitive with the truly elite properties in LAS (i.e. Mandarin Oriental).
If SPG reservations work like Park Place/Harrahs/Caesars/Total Rewards/Whatever We Are Callling Ourselves This Week reservations, Caesars Palace and Nobu Hotel will be two completely separate properties.
Anyone remember back when the Westin Essex House and St. Regis Club at Essex House were two completely different hotels sharing the same building? This is the same sort of situation.

No, unless I'm misunderstanding, you get a "night" credit, but not a "stay" credit. Night vs stay credits are two different things.
From what I'm understanding on this, you can have up to 10 *night* credits towards your 25/50, but it does not count at ALL towards your 10/25 *stay* credits.
This is also, unfortunately, a dealbreaker for the hubs and I as well. We usually get our 25 stay credits, but never close enough for the night credits. The guest weekend looks pretty flippin' cool though.

Hopefully someone in the know can confirm either way.
