Comp rooms are not directly related to tier status, but rather to volume of play, mostly in the gaming pits (blackjack/roulette/craps/baccarat). But status offers some perks, like waived resort fees.
You can achieve tier status levels through a LOT of poker: In a nutshell, Caesars properties offer 17 or 34 tier credits per hour for poker play. You need 4000 for Platinum status, 12000 for Diamond, and 20000 for Diamond Plus. If you do the math, that's plenty of hours, and you're not likely to achieve it in one 2- or 3-week trip.
Just focus on having fun and trying out a variety of rooms at different casinos, so you can get a feel for where you fit into the Vegas poker scene. And unless you already know Vegas from prior trips as a minor, don't just grind poker. Get around and enjoy! You'll probably be a repeat visitor.
