Don't forget about the daily tier credit bonuses.

Getting 1000 tier credits in one day will get you 1000 bonus tier credits, so if you need 3500, your most efficient way is to get two 1000 TC days. This Page says that the bonuses will be credited within four days, though my general experience has had them credited the following day.

Play quarters if you can find it. Do 1000 tc per day so you get a bonus of 1000. It would take you two days that way.

98.45% payback on JoB is sadly probably your best bet. Id head over to wizard of odds if you need to brush up on strategy, but if you run around expectation you will lose way less than the $700 it will save you in resort fees

head over to http://www.vpfree2.com to locate the best paytables if JoB isn't your game
This game has mad variance; there's a good chance he'll lose $700 in the first 10 minutes.

For lowest variance option,
find a Blackjack Machine where you play 7 hands against the Dealer. The rules are decent overall (but waaay better than all the normal Caesars properties BJ machines, where you get e.g. no doubling or split whatsoever).
You can choose your own denominations on the machine, so you decide the time/variance trade off.
It's also just $10/tier versus the large multi-player BJ machines (which I think are $50/tier).

P.S.: Another way is sitting at a full Baccarat table game, and only betting when the floor is looking over. Low house edge and you get 'point-earning' time while not risking money...


If anyone ever hears about a new hotel tier credit promo, would be really thankful for them sharing it here...

On dollar JoB? I think you’re crazy but I guess it’s possible

I've played pretty much all the variations. Spin Poker is the devil. STP/DSTP is the devil. You'd better be lubed up if you combine the two.

His best option for lowest variance might be the .25 100-play (don't have to play all 100 hands) at PHo.

Isn't the high variance due to the multiple lines and Super Times Pay. Is it not possible to just play 1 line / 5 coins to take advantage of the 9/5 payout without playing the 'bonus ' features? If that is possible, does the machine then become a standard 9/5 JoB variance?

What about slot play? $1 or $2 single line machine with no progressive and something like a 800x or 1000x jackpot. How would that compare variance wise to a 9/5 JoB?

The $100 for food etc is Delano, Bellagio and another super expensive one. The other only have "spa credits" which for most are worthless.
Wife and I booked back to back day at Delano in JUne for $79 and $87 dollars and get $420 in food comps. Plus 750 sq ft suite with good chance to to be further upgraded.

Still some deals out there for the summer.

Can you use reward credits to purchase show tickets? If you can, I don't see a method online to do so.

You should be able to do it in person. Last time I did that, the box office gave me the total amount, then had me go to the total rewards desk and have them print up a voucher for the full amount, and bring that back to the box office.

Hey all, I wanted to share something cool that happened to me. Saw this tier-matching promotion mentioned on reddit: https://imgur.com/a/gfSAadt So I went to the Total Rewards desk with my entry-level TR card at Caesar’s in Vegas. By chance I seemed to speak with the most senior person behind the desk, and this happened:
“Hi, I heard Caesar’s is doing a tier matching promotion for MGM MLife members.” “Yes, do you have a platinum or black card?” “No, just gold.” “Ah I’m sorry, this is only for Platinum or Black. Are you military by any chance? (no) ...because we do upgrade to the free-parking tier for military” “Ah. I heard MGM gold qualifies” shows picture and reddit thread on phone “Oh what? Really? I see... can you email me that picture? ...this is a huge error. I will upgrade you as a courtesy though.”

So SCORE FOR ME, got fancy new diamond cards in my pocket. I have ZERO credits, so I hear I can't get into the lounges for free this year? What else should I do? Free nights in Atlantis Bahamas in February right? /endbrag

I'm not sure; I typically play all the lines. But if you're going that route, you'd be better off playing the quarter machine I mentioned. 25 lines of quarter play is roughly the same variance as dollar single line.

Here we go again. I got a reply to my email inquiry I made and this is a quote.

"In regard to play in the poker room, regretfully it does not count toward the promotion. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance."

The same **** happened last time they had this promo. Most said it didn't count and some said it did and in the end it did count.

I wish we could get confirmation from a real source again.
If they Manager of Caesar's poker room would chime in again like last time maybe.

+1 plan on getting diamond in June so this would be a huge help for me if poker counts.

Btw is everyone supposed to be getting these emails? Have not been to vegas in over a year and never get emails anymore even though i am opt’d in for them.

Poker is not a great way to make Diamond in a hurry. You need daily bonuses to do that, and the best you can get with poker is the small bonus for 500 tc in a day.

Yes I understand that but the double points will help as I am playing poker anyways, Less time spent on the floor the better.

I play poker and I am at the rewards center every wed. I didn't even know about the promo but the main lady there knows I play poker and she told me about it so i am assuming poker will count!
