You need to check the fine print before you start making calls and planning that party weekend in Vegas, though. Those rooms are still listed with a maximum occupancy of 4 people. That includes kids. They also have an extra $30 per-person charge for more than 2 people. Those limitations and fees are normal for a regular room, but seem counter to the point of having a bunk bed room.

Here is the current list of monthly Tier Benefit Shows for Total Rewards players in Las Vegas.

The List was updated in December 23, 2018.    The biggest changes are The Bronx Wanderers is closing Dec 23 and Legends in Concert will be closing on Dec. 30 before moving to a non-Total Rewards venue.  Stripped! and  the recent Le Magique Fantastique at Bally’s have also closed.  The  Cocktail Cabaret at Caesars is back. Legends in Concert has switched to its “Celebrate the Season” holiday show version,  featuring holiday songs by Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, Bruno Mars and Garth Brooks through Sunday, Dec. 30.  The holiday show also has local youth choirs performing.

Many shows have scattered dark dates as we enter the holiday season. Check the schedule for details.

Diamond and Seven Stars players get 2 free tickets per calendar month.  The shows are buy 1, get 1 free for Platinum players. Brooklyn Bowl shows are Diamond / Seven Star only.

The High Roller is no longer on the Tier Benefit list. You can still get a discount based on your tier (50% for Diamond), but it does not count as your show for the month. The Eiffel Tower Experience has a similar tier-based discount. I have a discount link for it at the bottom of this post, too. Continue reading Total Rewards Tier Benefit Shows 2018 →

Caesars Las Vegas Hotels Parking Charges

(updated Feb 1, 2019)
Caesars joined the ranks of other hotels to charge for parking. They allow a 1 hour grace period – the first hour of self-parking is free, but after that, you will have to pay to park at all Caesars properties except the Rio (which is off-Strip) and Planet Hollywood (which does charge for valet).

Hotel guests can charge the parking fee to their room, using their room key for access at all Caesars Entertainment hotels.

Total Rewards Platinum, Diamond and Seven Stars players receive free self- and valet-parking. Your Total Rewards card is used for access. Continue reading Caesars Las Vegas Hotels Parking Charges →
