Understanding the Caesars Rewards Program

Caesars Rewards is a loyalty program offered by Caesars that provides perks and benefits to visitors who bet, eat, shop, or stay at the company's resorts and casinos.

These rewards are accumulated in several ways, which will be outlined in this guide. Customers are sorted into categories based on the number of 'tier credits' they earn over a calendar year.

Depending on the number of points earned, they achieve Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Diamond Plus, Diamond Elite, or Seven Stars status.

Caesars Rewards Tier Requirements

If you earn 25,000 tier credits, you can achieve Diamond Plus status, which is the level this guide focuses on. Below, you'll learn about that level, its benefits, how to earn the tier credits to achieve it, and how to put it best to use in Las Vegas.

Earning Tier Credits and Status

Accumulating tier credits involves spending money or betting with Caesars, but the rates depend on the activity.

Earning rates may be subject to change, and it's a good idea to check the latest Caesars Rewards Program regulations at the company's official site.

That said, here are the latest details available:

Gaming Earnings

  • Slot machines give one credit for every $5 played.
  • Video poker machines give one credit for every $10 played.
  • You can earn 10 credits for every $100 wagered on straight bets and 20 credits for every $100 bet on parlays at Caesars Sportsbook.
  • Tier credit earnings on poker and table games are less clear-cut. According to Caesars, they are based on 'length of play, average bet' and 'type of game.'

Non-Gaming Earnings

The non-gaming credit earnings are decidedly simpler. You can earn a credit for a dollar spent on each of the following:

  • Hotel Rooms
  • Resort Fees
  • Participating Restaurants
  • Spa
  • Shopping

Caesars Rewards Credit Card

One way to move up the tier ladder of the Caesars rewards program quickly is to get a Caesars rewards VISA card.

Some of its key features include:

  • Automatic upgrade to Platinum status and 2,500 tier credits within 90 days of approval
  • 10,000 reward credits (used on casino play, shopping, hotel rooms, etc., instead of climbing the tier ladder) and 2,500 tier credits with $1,000 or more spent outside of a Caesars Rewards location in the first 90 days after approval.
  • 5,000 additional tier credits if you make at least $5,000 in purchases in a calendar year.
  • Five reward credits for every dollar spent at Caesars Rewards locations, two for each dollar on restaurants, travel, and entertainment, and 1 for every dollar spent on purchases that don't fit the first two categories.

Diamond Plus Benefits and Perks

Once you achieve Diamond Plus status, you can access a number of benefits.

Below is a summary of some of the highlights:

  • Free or discounted hotel stays
  • 15% off the best available advertised rate on rooms and suites
  • No resort fees on any hotel stay
  • Tier Status match with Wyndham Reward
  • Priority lines at hotel check-in, restaurants, casino cages, and the Caesars Rewards Center
  • Complimentary stay at Atlantis, Paradise Island in The Bahamas, up to five nights, depending on the month.
  • One free night in Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Laughlin, or Reno for every 5,000 Tier Credits earned in a year, up to seven nights

Here are a couple of benefits exclusive to the Diamond Plus level:

  • Complementary access to the VIP Laurel Lounges
  • $30 monthly bonus bet/$60 birthday month bonus bet with a wager of at least $100 at Caesars online sportsbook.

Maximizing Diamond Plus Benefits in Las Vegas

If you are a Diamond Plus member planning a trip to Las Vegas, your status could improve your experience in several ways.

Every visitor has different preferences, but the table below includes an overview of some of the most applicable benefits for a trip.

Reaching Diamond Plus Status Responsibly

Programs like Caesars Rewards provide incentives to keep you playing, and climbing the tier ladder all the way to Diamond Plus status requires a significant expenditure on your part.

It's important to take stock of whether spending that much on stays, shopping, and betting is something you're capable of without experiencing financial strain.

These rewards can create a false sense of value and make you spend more money or time than you intended. The temptation to earn perks can trump the importance of having a budget or taking breaks.

To gamble responsibly, set your spending and time limits before you start and stick to them, no matter what rewards are on offer. One way to give yourself the best chance to accomplish that is to stay sober. Often, in a casino setting, free drinks are readily available, but being intoxicated can lead to poor decision-making.

Don't get caught up in chasing a specific tier status or trying to "earn back" losses by gambling more. Remember that these programs are for the casino, not the player, so always prioritize your financial and mental well-being.

Conclusion

Understanding the benefits and strategies for using the Caesars Rewards program can greatly enhance your experience at Caesars properties, but it's essential to approach the program with a clear plan.

  • Maximize Value: Use your Diamond Plus status perks strategically, such as accessing VIP lounges or skipping resort fees, to get the most out of your tier level.
  • Plan Wisely: Plan trips that align with your earned benefits to take advantage of room discounts, complimentary stays, and celebration dinners.
  • Stay Responsible: Always balance your participation in the program with your financial goals and ensure that your spending aligns with your overall budget.

By remembering these points, you can enjoy the perks of the Caesars Rewards program while maintaining responsible habits.
