Low expectations* trip. 6/4-6/8 The D then Caesars

Oh I love Hoot Loot! Don't understand it, but it's fun. Keep winning!

 

Same game at CET properties. JW Black is all you can get.

 

Just a quick update. I’ll do a better one when I get to Caesars and prob a photo dump. FYI, You can not check a bag right now here at The D.

 

Following for your experience at Caesars. Will you be checking in via Diamond check in? If so do you know if all hotel towers are open and if you get your room upgraded.

Good luck @subafrk I will be at Caesars on Friday.

 

I'm sorry, I didn't really have a chance to check this out for you. Normally I start with VP then switch over to mindless button pushing on the slots after I start making drunk mistakes. I've been doing the Cosmo VP tournament online so that has been quenching my VP thirst so I dove right into the slots last night.

OMG I saw the the dancer that Sonya posted, she had a full face shield and it was hilarious. I wonder if there are going to be some fetishes stemming from all of this face protection. Honestly, it's probably great for the not so great beautiful people like myself, lol.

Sorry, see above. I totally dropped the ball on this one...

Yeah, I had no idea half of the stuff that I was winning....But I was winning so I didn't question it, lol.

I've been able to get The Glenlivet at all CET properties that I play and sometimes can get The Macallan at Caesars. Only at Harrah's and Flamingo do I get carded to make sure I'm Diamond. The first one that the cocktail waitress brought me last night was a JW Red. It was my mistake as I only asked for JW and didn't clarify. Red is rough to me, but when I asked for Black on the second go round, she checked to make sure I was Max Betting which I found interesting.

 

I just checked into Caesars. Diamond check in is open and they are using another Diamond overflow check in in the hallway between the normal Diamond check in and the Diamond lounge. They seem to only be taking temp checks at the check in lines, NOT when you first walk in like at The D. The girl at the check in told me that masks are required if you are playing tables, but not to worry about it if I was playing machines. They are offering free masks and little hand sanitizer packs when you check in.

I booked the Octavius room, but they put me in Augustus. She gave me the option, looks like they are using both towers. The Keurig is gone from the room as is all of the minibar stuff. I've got a low floor room with a not so great view but I'm not here for the view. Once you've stayed in a Cosmo Fountain View room, nothing else really compares anyways. Not to mention that one time the power was cut at the Paris and I had to walk down 20+ floors in the dark with my luggage, I'm ok with a low room, lol.

I seem to be having a digitizer issue with my phone paired with alcohol consumption, sorry for the crappy pics/post. Doing these TR's really are helpful for me to track my night as sometimes it's not so clear, lol.

 

The room number and the view.





Sticker on the door.



Laurel lounge closed, but they are offering options.

 

OH WOW! I'd actually PREFER a Diamond Benefit like this temporary one, with comped drinks at various locations, including Vanderpump, and the food credit. If you find out how much the food credit is that would be great to know. My guess is it might be an appetizer if you order an entree, which would be nice.

 

I guess I should have read that sign a little better as it shows Starbucks? I just spent $8 on a coffee there, lol.

 

@subafrk that's great new news lol Are the palace, julius, and forum towers open also? I'm booked in Octavius and agree with your assessment on the Bellagio fountain views lol I hope this bodes well for being upgraded friday. I was hoping for a Forum Petite Sutie, Palace Studio or Augustus Studio.

On the diamond member benefits I wonder what are the alternatives for the Laurel Lounge at Flamingo and Harrah's. I wonder if they are excluding low level Diamonds for the free drinks now. I am waiting for my Diamond Plus status to kick in from my multiplier so sadly I will be excluded from the 4 free drinks.

 

So is the number of drinks ordered with that offer kept on your rewards card?

 

Wait WHAT? You get four free drinks at Starbucks? I picked a great time to be Diamond for the first time!

 

Thanks for the info, good luck.

 

Is there an empty fridge in the room? This will be my first time at Caesars but I like the fridge at other CET properties

 

Getting the ball rolling with stinkin rich.

 

Great TR. Keep on winning!

 

When a symbol appears with the little owl in the corner, they are also placed on the "Hoot Line" and are evaluated from left to right. Any wins on the "Hoot Line" are awarded at 22X line bet when you play max lines. Otherwise the win is multiplied by the number of lines you play.

Great hits so far @subafrk! Keep it up!

 

Props for the Operation Ivy shirt shown in the window reflection on the room you had at The D! Stoked on the wins. Keep them coming!

 

Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday. I did ok in the casino, pretty much broke even for the day so I count that as a win. However.....Drink service was non existent. No joke, I tried ALL areas of the slot floor and only managed to get 2 drinks. I believe that there was one lady working the entire floor because I saw her in a few different areas. I spent about 8 hours on the floor and earned about 2500 tier points. I know that there are bonus for hitting a certain amount of points, I just never really pay attention to them. I do take a pick of my account every day to see where I start each day and apparently I went from 17k to 25k tier points.

Late into the night, I decided to try some VP at the bar. At that time of the night, there was only one bar with VP open so I found a machine open. It was packed and while only every other machine was on, the machines that were off just turned into drink ordering standing areas for the patrons. I believe there was only one bartender working and he was overwhelmed. While I was annoyed, I felt really bad for the guy because I've been in his shoes before. One patron started to make a scene about the lack of service and security had to get involved. There was NO social distancing going on at the bar at all. In fact, while I was sitting at the bar playing VP, there was a girl and guy standing on each side of me and high fiving above my head. I was thoroughly annoyed and left drinkless after I lost my $100.

The slot floor has much better social distancing. At The D, almost all of the machines were on, but only every other one had a chair. That was kind of nice because if you wanted to play a certain machine, the option was still there you just had to slide the chair over. Caesars is doing more of the every other machine off type of distancing. I'm going to check out Cosmo tonight.
