I think she’s doing it all on the dollar 10-play NSUD at Harrah’s New Orleans.
Shhhhh!

I DO play at Harrah’s (Caesars) Vegas properties, but I also play in Lake Tahoe, New Orleans, and occasionally elsewhere. I have been Diamond since its inception ten plus years ago, typically accumulating the 11,000 base points by April at the latest – make about 5 or 6 total trips per year. So I certainly understand how one maintains their card status. My point is, accumulating the necessary points may be 1/1 – 12/31, but my Diamond status is through March of each year…probably some anniversary date with Harrah’s. And of course, playing Vegas I only go when I have the “advantage” from free play, free food, free shows, etc. since I’m well aware of their VP schedules! I did manage to win big at BJ in April which certainly helped compensate for losses at VP.

Why am I getting this post every 2 min.? Is it my computer or some thing on your end?

In order to maintain a higher than “Gold” player status with Caesar’s, the required tier score must be achieved each year. I don’t know what that tier score is for 7 Star, but for Diamond (which my husband is), the tier must be at least 11,000. At one minute after midnight on the last day of the year, everyone’s tier score goes to zero and you have to start gambling again through the year to get it back up to the minimum, only to loose it all again as of Jan 1 the next year.
So, Jean and Brad must gamble quite a bit at Caesar’s properties outside of Vegas EVERY YEAR if they are maintaining 7 Star Status.

Thank you Jim,
You stated what I was trying to say about the original question – but so much more eloquently. I think the original question was interesting and I am interested in any answer.

I think the question is How have you maintained your status with Harrahs/Caesars even though you haven’t played at their Vegas properties in years and play infrequently at other of their properties? Once they confer the 7-Star status, are you able to retain it regardless of your level of play? Or are you saying that, on the rare occasions when you play at Harrahs/Caesars, you run so much coin-in through the best machines you could find that you qualify for the 7-Star status?

She answered it, you just don’t want to see the answer. Go to properties outside of Las Vegas and combine their “offers” with the best possible paytable at their premise and you apporach or exceed 100% payback. This LVA poster is clearly wanting to find flaw with Jean and her strategies. Heaven forbid she is a smart player. I read this blog a lot and she admits to long periods of time with major losses despite playing with every advantage she can find. She is better than most at getting the job done–quit being a hater!

It also helps to play at some of the highest denominations which has a huge impact on the “dollar in” part of the equation. Playing at the quarter level won’t do it.

While this person may be a “newbie” or may not read the blog as often as some, Jean did not actually answer the question. The question was “How does Jean keep getting 7 Star status with such limited options in Las Vegas. Jean goes on to say that (as the question suppossed) she doesn’t play Harrah’s (Caesars) properties in Las Vegas anymore and she doesn’t get a chance to travel as much as she used to. So, the question goes unanswered. We all agree research is the key to a successful trip to Las Vegas – but research won’t get you a decent payback at Caesars properties as described by Jean.
