    I am sorry if this has been discussed. We are trying to fit Circa pool in the rotation in July. So my questions:

    - What is the Circa match for Diamond elite?
    - Whatever that match is, will it cut the pool line up?
    - Is is $20 to get in no matter what your players card is or do they extend some types of benefits depending on the card?
    - Should I simply book a comped room for a night at GG to get pool access?

    Bottom line, we are wanting to hit up Circa on July 3rd and just want to know the best/fastest way in. We don't wanna stand in line for hours to get in hence the questions.

    Thanks in advance.

    I only know 2 things with Circa Swim ..

    Stay with the D or GG you will get 2 wristbands a day for free..

    if not have to pay $20.00 to get in..

    by the way Circa is nice and airy you check it out and play some in the casino to seed for the future

    offers...

    @Gaggles, I just got back from Vegas this morning. I stayed downtown and spent one day at Stadium Swim. I think I can answer all of your questions:

    - I sent an email to [email protected] with a picture of my One Card, Mlife Gold, Caesar's Diamond, and ID. A host reached out to me and she said she will complete the Tier Match in a couple days (My understanding is they will match to the Legend level). It has not updated yet though.

    - There is no pool benefit based on tier status. It's first come first served. Get there early to get a lounger!

    - Admission was $30 this past weekend. 4th of July weekend I assume it will also be at $30 per person. No Tier discount.

    - I would definitely book a comped room at GG to get the free stadium swim entry.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Perfect!!! Exactly the info I am seeking. Much appreciated. We are thinking of getting a little lit up on July 3rd and grabbing just a regular room at GG so we can get ready and then go out while we are DT for the night. So we don't need much more than a bathroom and a bed for a short siesta. I have only ever had a suite at the GG and it was pretty swell. I have heard those GG standard rooms are about tehe size of a phone booth but I don't want to even try for much more than that if I am going to low play a bit. Not an a weekend where rooms are at a premium. I also don't like our chances at successfully getting a lounger at the pool. I can't see us making it to the pool before noon. And that July heat does not lend itself well to being out of the pool for any length of time other than to get drinks or use the bathroom.

    @Matty Ice if I may follow up with you..

    I have over $300 comps accumulating in my Club One account. Can I swipe at pool to buy drinks? And if we checked in on July 3rd, would your pool pass be good for the 3rd or the 4th? Optimally, we would try to check on early on the 3rd and hit the pool with our wristbands. Knowing how busy that weekend will be, it might just be better to simply forego all the this simply pay $60 to get both of us in. It would be nice though to have a room just to freshen up with.

    Gaggles, I am not Matty Ice but I did swipe my Club One card to use comps to pay for a drink at the front bar at Stadium Swim. I started with some kind of mango frozen drink that was too sweet and after a few sips asked the bartender (who I tipped a couple of bucks earlier) to swap it for a Tennessee frozen cola which was much better -- no problem.

    As long as your room key at D or GG is active, I see no problem using it for check-in day or check-out day. I stayed at the D staying Fri - Sunday and had a late checkout on Sunday and had no problem getting Stadium Swim access on checkout day.

    Both responses are spot on. They ask for your room key and room number, so getting in on the 3rd or 4th will be no problem. You don’t get an actual wristband, we got a red stamp on our wrist.

    A word of warning, it is HOT on the pool deck. There is absolutely no shade and if there is no breeze, you will bake.

    I went up Friday at about 1:00 even though I had checked out of the D at noon, but I had to show my receipt. If I wouldn't have stayed it was $30 entry. A little breeze shouldn't be a problem up there, it was crazy windy. I Like my beers & drinks, but I wouldn't have too many before riding that escalator up or down. I thought it was interesting it was like going thru airport security , not that it bothered me, I just wasn't expecting that.

    Gents, I appreciate the info. I know we will find a way to make this happen. Armed with your information, my only concern is being stuck in line to get in. I don't want to be waiting to get in and something tells me it will be a smidgen busy 4th of July weekend.

    Happy to help @Gaggles. Have a blast! If you've got any more questions about Stadium Swim or Circa in general, feel free to ask. I've been to Circa 5 times already since it opened in October and visited Stadium Swim every time too.

    Guaranteed you will use the phrase "This place is amazing" at least once.

    I was there last weekend.. $30 general admission on a Friday... Also when checking bags I noticed they didn't allow gum or selfie sticks. And that bag checker was being really diligent for those thinking of bringing more than just that. Fun environment. Cabana waitresses are gorgeous. They train the staff to be really great party hosts, if you want to spend money then they can make sure you have fun. Music could have been 2 notches lower. And i've been there a couple of times during different months... Is it me or does that area get really windy?

    One other note for stadium swim. My host told me nothing can be charged to the room and no using points or beverage and food credits. I was there for March madness and we had a cabana so I forgot to ask if this was actually the case.

    Various people have reported that they’re not yet doing any tiered benefits for the pool entry. I would hope this changes but so far none :mad:

    I am the middle tier. That said, this has to be the worst implementation of a tier system I've seen . I truly can't figure out why the tiers are there. I think I get free parking and the bottom tier has to gamble for it? No idea

    :hmmm:you really can't charge the cabana fee to a room? :eek:
    thanks for the heads up, will try to confirm soon.
    hopefully it was a march madness "surge pricing" thing to keep it from getting comped.

    While I'm not doubting your host told you that, you certainly CAN charge from the pool bar to the room at Circa, TheD, or Gate. Don't know about cabana fees, but don't see why not either.

    Two challenges:

    1- Circa waitstaff sometimes have a problem looking up Gate rooms (they have to add one or two leading zeros to the room number).

    2- They also struggle with the difference between the monthly food/beverage credit and the available comp balance.

    Good luck!

    If I went over the minimum spend at the cabana, I would of asked about charging the rest to the room, even though my host said I could not. I just looked back at the email, and the question I asked was if I go over the minimum spend at the cabana, can I charge it to the room and if my play warrants, can you comp it off the backend. Her answer was charge everything to the room from everywhere and she will take care of it, but they dont let us comp off its from stadium swim. So technically she is saying I could charge things from stadium swim to the room but she couldnt comp it off the backend. Now these questions were asked in Jan when circa was still pretty new and maybe at that point they couldnt do this, but now things are more streamlined and maybe that is something that can be done now. Also, my guess is if I was a high enough roller, an exception would be able to be made.

    One thing I didn't like is that they make it really clear they don't like people showing up in street clothes and getting changed at the pool. My friend and I got harrassed multiple times about it going through security and then walking to the restroom/changing room on the far end of the pool. If you're going to have a rule like that wouldn't it make sense to at least have a place to get changed near the entrance?

    Someone is overthinking. I guess they don’t want you using the restroom either since you can just pee in the pool.....:confused: til it’s yellow :)

    oh pro tip: there is no value discount when buying a platter vs buying the single serving variant. The platter is exactly 4x the food and 4x the price. Knowing this, This saved us a lot of f&b credit to spend on alcohol. Also i don't know if this trick was to get us to spend more or if the cabana waitresses are just trying to make sure you have a good time but when the bottle comes they pour the drink for you and they have a heavy hand. our bottle was almost finished after the first round... Still was nice and unexpected great service for the waitress to ask and pour our drink order.
