pretty sure you get 5x on your whole bill, taxes and all.

but it does appear founderscard is the best play. i thought it would be video poker during a 5x tier credit promo - but even that is about $375. + variance and time.

you don't get tier credits from the credit card - but you do get them from caesars rewards for hotel stays. right now it's 5x.

so $3k in total hotel spend == diamond.

which would be a waste of money to spend just to get diamond but if you're going to be spending that on hotels anyway - that's not a bad deal.

Agree that Laughlin sucks as a property but if you like the river then it is literally right on the river there. So, if you have a family or if you're into jet-skiing, then it can be worth going, but nothing too special there.

I just took my 7star retreat to Tahoe and that was great. The suites there are decent (all rooms, not just suites, have 2 bathrooms, which is nice if your gf/wife is anything like mine. It's actually nice during the summer (lake) or winter (snow), depending on your preferences. Heavenly is right next to the property if you like to ski, but there are other winter activities like snow mobile, tubing, snow showing, etc. I was there over NYE so we also had the NYE stuff (which this year was just a free dinner/brunch with very light entertainment).
So, if you're looking for a place that's different than Vegas but not super far, I can definitely recommend Tahoe.

CET sent me some promos, which I was shocked to get. Haven't been there since BC (Before Covid). There was even some free play in there, which I've never received ever.

I might have to to take a trip even though I don't particularly want to. I wonder what the over/under on a semi-normal WSOP starting at the end of May would be.

Snowshoeing* my phone doesn't like that word, sorry!

So like hiking, except a lot more effort.

Now that I think about it, I can't see a normal WSOP happening. Even if plenty of people want to play, NV will want plexiglass on the tables and I can't imagine them spending all that money on plexiglass for 400+ tables.

I hope the Widow Adelson sells Venetian to Caesars.

$30 no resort fee Venetian rooms sounds pretty nice.

It would be nice to have a decent poker room amongst the Caesars properties

The market cap of Las Vegas Sands is over 42 BILLION dollars, and it would cost more than that to buy them out. Caesars can't find that kind of cash.

The problem is they need a 6 week window that doesn't interfere with convention season, assuming there will be one this year, and the tourist "high" season. They can't use November, or September, which leaves summer through August, and December.

I wonder if places like the Wynn and Orleans will have summer series with no WSOP. They're running small tournaments now and their series are small enough that they don't need hundreds of tables.

Don’t really need a six week window. Maybe three or four is enough. Also I am sure there is much open open space in the fall season than historically. Heck afaik the national rodeo has not signed up this December yet. Though I have not checked either. COVID has changed the whole convention scene through at least this year. Things impossible in 2019 are now possible. Also it depends on your definition of normal.

I will stick with my opinion that something like a smaller normal wsop will happen this year.

National Finals Rodeo is contracted until 2025 in Las Vegas.

Granted, things may change.

NFR planning on being back in Vegas in Dec 2021.

They were contracted for 2020 also. They did hold it just not in Vegas. The world has changed.

Ya, I was referring only to the Las Vegas properties. Which are worth a lot less than their stuff in Asia. Adelson was apparently seeking to sell those. This article says the price was $6 billion.

I'm sure the financial wizards who turned the Eldorado in Reno into this empire could swing that if they wanted to.

No but paying for the rooms will give you a fair amount of TC's.

I'm sure they could. It's called distressed debt.

wow i'll be damned. they actually changed it so it does. So if you spent a total of $3000 in hotel / food charges, you'd get diamond. Given the premiums on the food and such i still dont know if thats better or worse than paying a flat 295 in EV.

but it definitely makes it a lot closer! thanks for correcting me

It was Nevada that changed. NFR would've been in Vegas if not for the governor.

Eldorado has to SELL at least one casino to satisfy anti-trust requirements for their CET merger. They aren't going to be buying Strip properties anytime soon.

I would like to know about this as well.

If I place a bet at the counter of a WH book inside a CET property can I use my Caesars card or do I need to use my WH card? And if it's the latter, is there any way to accrue Caesars RC/TC from these bets?

I just made a little $20 parlay this week at Caesars. They scanned my card and the ticket showed my CR #. I didn't happen to notice what I got out of it.



I know at Stations, at least up until this past year when they sliced the **** out of their points, you'd get 0.1% back for straight bets, and 0.2% for parlays.
