Diamond and Theoretical Daily Average

Hi -
I have two questions. The first is regarding Diamond and two free show tickets a month in Las Vegas. Is this perk still valid? Next month I head to Vegas and this will be the first time I will be visiting and a Diamond player and I would like to use the offer if available.

The second question is regarding theoretical daily average and staying at a Harrah's property. Does the arrival night hurt my daily average if I do not play? For example I am going to Harrah's Cherokee next week staying two nights, arriving Wednesday and leaving Friday. I would rather use all my toolbox for the full day I am there to attempt diamond in a day but not sure if that will hurt my daily average. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

1. Yes the tickets are still there for diamond. Go to the reward desk for a coupon and then to the box office to book your show.
2. It's hard to be definitive on this one, but it didn't used to. It still probably doesn't. Probably.

Thanks!

Any more hidden perks for Diamonds? I only found out about the $100 dinner because of this board (but can't get it until after April 1st according the players club last weekend). And now I hear about the 2 free tickets each month.
CET sure does a lousy job in communicating the perks. Is there a list anywhere?

No official list that I am aware of.

There is a "Valet" perk at least at Paris . You can by pass a long Valet line and pull your car up to the Diamond Valet spot where they will take your car right away . It even works on those occasions where the valet parking is full . They hold some parking in reserve .
There is also the separate lines at the cage for Diamond / Seven Stars . Then there are the Diamond lounges . Some CET casinos have Diamond / Seven Stars seating areas in the buffets . The Rio Carnival buffet has a real nice area closed off from the rest of the buffet . Bob

Diamond renewal dinner is listed at the Total Rewards website under program details, view benefits, diamond aspirations. I believe they sent out a mailer some time back also?
