Not a surprise that CET got sold 

The deal still has to be completed. Expected completion is summer 2020. Employees: I did see the severance pay schedule from Caesar's if an employee gets the axe from the Eldorado deal.

Also since first of the year. Some Caesar's players are getting their TR marketing accounts suspended out of the blue. Play does not matter.

Several hosts and players have informed me of this. Account gets flagged as "BAD ADDRESS". Then marketing offers quit. You know comps, free play, show tickets, dinners, etc.

One has to suspect something. Then see host to get "BAD ADDRESS" removed.

Things really stink with Caesar's.

Since this is CAS forum. We have gotten some direct NCL offers. However we have not used them. Now prefer RCCL.

I should add that I actually phoned Vegas VP Customer Loyalty. She confirmed that a bad addr will stop offers. Had no comment on why folks are getting hit with it. That is by which system or person doing the flagging.

Interesting.    I haven't heard of anyone having their offers suspended  through a couple of groups I follow (I'm 7Stars with CET).   Did you hear of this through people you know or through a forum???

 

I think CET is decreasing offers, but I haven't heard of offers stopping.  My CET host still contacts me directly with special invites.   I was amused the other day that they mailed me an offer for a comped NCL cruise in an OceanView.   For the last several years my offers from CET have all been Balcony and a couple of Mini-Suites so that was a down-grade.   (Of course now I just get my cruise offers directly from CAS 😊)

Well another update. We were at Harrahs NOLA in June. Had July booked, but the Hurricane caused us to cancel.

Palm Room: some nights the grub is not too bad. You can make a meal of it. I spoke with food manager. He said they make from scratch the salad dressings. I had this picture in my mind of institutional canned junk.

 

Drinks: 4 and 8 max. This is for the entire property, every bar total. Drinks while playing do not count toward total. Better liquor at some of the other bars instead Palm/Diamond room.

Also the steakhouse bar one can not use their card for a drink. Bummer!

Yes to players, and Yes to comments from hosts. It might be just going on outside of Vegas. Keep the marketing costs down as 2 quarters in a row they announced marketing reductions. One host told me he had seen over a dozen that way. That was Bossier. In fact the woman he had been talking with prior to me had been one. This was early June after being flagged in Jan or Feb.

My wife as 7* a year ago got blocked. Don't know why. Just said to heck with them.

I think it is pretty obvious that even the NCL cruises have been cut back.

Speaking of RCCL. Mirage Casinos will match a RCCL players card.

Our home casino is in Las Vegas so maybe they aren't seeing those kind of cutbacks....yet!

So surprised they blocked a 7Star account!   It's not easy to get there and each year I think it may be my last, but my family loves to vacation with us in Las Vegas so there we go again🙄

 

Thanks for the update on Harrahs NOLA.  Still our favorite city to use our 7Star trip on.   Just wondering if this will be the last year for that with the sale to El Dorado.   I had CET book our airfare to NOLA many months ago to go with our November cruise.  I was afraid they would cancel the 7Star trips if they sold earlier, but was hoping the airfare would still be there.   Now they say not to worry about any reservations, etc, while they go through the changeover.  Everything still looks good for our stays before and after the cruise at Harrahs🤞

Who knows what CZR will do after Jan 1 ? In conference call, they mentioned the NOLA Hotel will be impacted by renovations until December.

It is obvious over the past year they have focused on Vegas.

Sailing on Getaway ? We had a terrible time on Breakaway in March.

I guess that's a good sign they are putting money into renovations in Nola.  Do you know what type of renovations?  We stay there once a year (pre and post cruise) and have always thought the rooms were nice.  We saw where they plan to build another hotel tower there too.   

Yes, we are on Getaway.   One of our favorite things about the Getaway is seeing Million Dollar Quartet again and enjoying those Lobster Rolls at the walk-up window at Ocean Blue.

Another thought (getting back to the theme of this thread!),  We now find more value in being Ruby with CAS than 7Star with Caesars.     It's been nice going to Vegas & New Orelans and enjoying great comped suites and dinners, but cruises are a higher priority for us now that we have time to enjoy them.

I have had the opinion for 1 -2 years that cruise boat  casino was better for us. Always get something back. I can't say that for Caesar's. The wife can't go and do as much as I can. She just does not feel well enough to. She has Sjogrens Syndrome, and I think it is getting to her.

We like Nola. Lots to do besides the casino.

Speaking of trips. She still gets free charter air to Laughlin. There is  a trip out of our airport late this month. Another in October out of Shreveport.

Had 2  booked last year, but Harrahs had Legionaires disease there and we cancelled. Cancelled one last month too.

Could rent car and go to Vegas, but Vegas is not what it used to be. Right now have 2 RCCL to book. Have one NCL to book. If she gets to feeling better will book the RCCL. Don't know about booking the NCL.

Might book trip to Tahoe. She likes Tahoe. But need to get done roofing this house first. Big storm in May really got a lot houses in my area. Still waiting on roofer to start.

Oh have 1 RCCL to go on late Sept that I booked last Dec.

We think its easier and more fun to just do our gambling on the ships too!       We especially enjoyed our cruise on the Bliss.   Really nice casino that had lots of good play to keep us going.   It's a really beautiful ship.   We might want to stick with that class ship in the future and have two booked on Encore.

We do like Tahoe, but harder to get there as it's so far from the airport there.    I just like to always have a cruise or two to look forward to.    Hope your wife feels better and you can enjoy your cruises😊
