where to go diamond in vegas

i would really welcome feedback on which harrahs property in vegas to go diamond at...do some of the
h thanksarrahs properties treat diamonds better than others...does caesars have so many high rollers that to
them a diamond is nothing...that sort of thing.

We have been diamond for years and other than receiving comped rooms (usually mini-suites), which are very comfortable and having your own entrance to the buffet - there is not much more special perks to receive. We don't go to Vegas to sit in a "Diamond" lounge - we go to gamble. We stay at Harrah's for the following reasons: great location, energetic casion atmosphere, an alright buffet, nice steakhouse, easy parking, VIP check-in, etc. Everything else seems to correspond to your "points" on the players card. As a matter of fact, in January, on our last day, we had to charge a buffet to our room, because we didn't have enough points....bs...........we play dollor VP and not enough points for a buffet??? For all of the aforementioned positives about Harrah's LV..............we are saying goodbye.

Their VP machines are horrible, have lost tens of thousands in them over the years, and are now reconsidering our twice a year trips to sin city. To say that VP machines are random and not programable is like believeing in the tooth fairy. I know the response - why would a casino risk losing their lic., blah, blah, blah..
Technology is way beyond that thought process..............we need to wake up. How can you go to the "M", Palms, Orleans, Cannery, and hit FOK's enough to at least play for awhile and then play at Harrah's and hit any over the course of 4 days? Something stinks in Denmark.

I, for one, believe the tooth fairy is from Denmark.

I think it is called a "pay schedule".

You're right!!! She lives in "Chip", Denmark.

I don't think it really matters which CE prop you become Diam. at.
I became Diam again at Caesars, and haven't seen my offers change because of it.

We were very pleased with the offers from Caesar's after Paul did DIAD there a few years back.
i don't know if it was the fact it was Caesar's or the fact that he then had an ADT based on that 3,000 points in one day but I suspect the latter had a lot to do with it.

I know this is almost a month after the question; however, I just couldn't help but chime in as it seems we have varied opinions.

I agree with Sierra that if you come to Vegas to basically gamble, then being Diamond is certainly no big deal.

However, if you come to Vegas for the "whole experience" of food, liesure, pools, bars, and such, then I would like to say that being a Diamond player is the best way to enjoy these as long as you plan go visit four or more times a year:

Diamond Lounges: free drinks, good TVs, and though the snacks are an embarrassment when compared to Atlantic City, they are there and they are...free.

Diamond Check-in are SO much faster than regular. And yes, don't underestimate the Diamond lines at the buffets and cafes. They easily save you as much as an hour at PH and Paris and the Rio.

When valet is full, Diamond is allowed.

Here's the clue one which place to get your Diamond IF you insist on getting it in Vegas:

When your comps start coming in (about two to three months), there will be two different types. There will be a coporate magazine, which has assorted comps based on your daily average play with free nights in Vegas as well as other CET properties in the country. Then there will be the offers that come from the place you got the Diamand, which are seperate from the corporate ones. These include free nights, slot/ VP/Poker tournaments, and other things like buffet passes, $ off restaurants and such.

All of the Vegas properties have pretty much the same VP schedules (except the Paris, which are the worst), and I'll assume the same for slots. If you're a slot player, pick your favorite place. If you're a VP player, the same (excpet the Paris). Poker and Table players suffer trying to get Diamond unless you're a black chip and up player.

If all you want is the Diamond in the Day (4000 points in a 24 hr period) and you're a VP player and don't care how you get it, make a reservation and go to Harrahs, Rincon. The have a wall of full play VP from $.25 to $5.00. Get your Diamond and use it for a year.

That's my two cents.

Jon,it's always a pleasure reading your posts.Your thoughts and opinions are worth more than 2 cents.
