I'm Diamond.
me and a few friends will be in Vegas in Aug for a week.

I have multiple offers of 5 free nights for various CET hotels in Vegas.
each hotel has a different promo code.

how much trouble would I get into with CET if I booked harrahs, ling, and flamingo for the same week?

The Total Rewards system only allows one booking at a time. What you can do is book the other rooms with a credit card and then pay for all of the rooms for your friends with your Reward Credits assuming you have enough.

If you have separate offers you should be able to use them without an issue. It may raise an eyebrow, but the hell with it. Tell them you want to try out all 3 rooms for a night and see which one you like the best... and you have free offers to do so with so what are they going to tell you?

Should be able to do it no problem.

I booked my brother at the Cannery with my comps, and got approval for this from the pit boss.
You earned it, it's yours, you're still making use of it.

Just book the room in your name, use your card, and then give the room key to your friend or family member.

and no one said anything during check in or check out? or afterwards?

well, just tried it.
called one cet hotel and booked room using that hotels 5free nites promo code.
called 2nd cet hotel and did the same thing.

got a confirmation code for each.
thx!

might push it and try for the 3rd one.

hm.. how would this affect the level of action at the machines that they're expecting me to play?
instead of $5k coin-in per day, now I should do $10k coin in?

Like I said earlier, if they say "Aren't you booked elsewhere?" Just say "I want to check out multiple places to find a favorite and my plans have me all over this town so I'm not sure which one I'll be closest to on any given night. I have this offer I'd like to use." and end of discussion.

I don't think you have to give crazy action. If you want to keep getting offers then just keep giving the same level of action you previously gave. After all, that generated all these offers anyways.

You're talking CET, offers based mostly on blend of ADT and AMT (marketing theo?), not just ADT. ADT won't change if you give same action but your AMT is going to shit if you're able to use multiple offers simultaneously and give the same action and that will affect future offers, whether you should care or not is a different question.

Your offers will go to zero after you book that stuff and use it, not only that your value to the casino will be beyond upside down, in my opinion with how cheap rooms are you are better off doing the same coin in at a second property non Cet and then just get the free rooms

so use 1 cet offer for friends?
then book a room for myself at a non-cet property? ie: Westgate since I'm at the convention center anyway for the week?

then just gamble at the non-cet property to get the rooms free at checkout?
and burn my bridge w/cet since I'm never going to make up the value of booking 2 hotels in same week?

if so, why not get 2 cet hotels for same week and not gamble at all there? :)

*or*
book 1 cet hotel, gamble $5k/coin-in for 8days/$10k coin in for 4 days/$40k coin-in 1 day.
and let my friends fend for themselves?

Not sure where the 5k number comes from/ essentially that could be as little as a 100 theo per day .... Sorry I'm a little confused with what you are trying to do. I would stay away from ever booking multiple offers from Cet over same time period - it's much easier to play a little at Westgate and a little at treasure island and a little at Cet and get all rooms - but in reality rooms are so cheap you are better off letting them get a card and just running some coin in on it .

In April of 2016, I received two offers from two different Mlife properties in LV for free room and free resort credit. I was able to book both places at the same time and gave one to my friends.
I guess the jig is not up because I am still able to get the same offers again for October of this year. I just made sure I put in the required hours at both properties.

I always have at least two if not more comp offers every time I am in LV. Last time I was there put up two friends in two separate hotels at the same time I was in another. It's not hard to generate offers. I usually always have something with Boyd; something with CET; something else downtown. Strangely nothing very often with the big Strip chains except CET which has always been reliable.

CET advertises special rates for friends and family when you book for yourself. You could just ask. When I've done it before (twice ) the 2nd room was comped once, the other time 20/night.

That's because you are worth a lot to CET because of your play. I get the same 'friends and family' offers but they are never comped and usually just a small discount from what you could get without the offer.

For what it's worth, I once tried to book overlapping offers but was denied.

Seriously if someone asks, just say you're trying to find your favorite place to plan the rest of your trips. Then they all want to accommodate you because they want your business for the future.

I've found my offers did not decrease one bit after booking numerous rooms with numerous properties all in the same week/weekend.

i did.
they wont waive the ~$25/day resort fee for 2nd room. :(

so booking a 2nd room at a different CET hotel for the same week will save them ALOT of $ not only because of 5days comped but also no resort fees.

were the overlapping offers at the same hotel?
or different hotels within the CET brand?

Exactly. Not only can't you book different hotels at the same time in the Caesars system, you can't even book stays with dates that connect or are even very close to one another from check-out to check-in, say if you are wanting to stay at Caesars Palace Mon-Thu then cross the street to stay at Bally's immediately afterward for that weekend. For years the minimum elapsed time between bookings programmed into their booking system has been something like 5 days if I remember correctly. There is also a maximum on the number of bookings the system will accept regardless of time between them, but I don't recall how many.

All of this in the automated booking system can be overridden manually by actual live breathing people (I've had them do that many times for 'connected' dates of stay) but of course that isn't how most people are getting and booking "offers" or comped nights from Caesars. And good luck with the room booking roulette of whoever you happen to be dealing with when you are transferred to someone at the company's central hotel reservation call-center. If you don't like how that's going, hang up and try calling back at another time. I've found you may have a different result with what the individual decides to think they "can" do. But don't be surprised if you discover that booking one of these simultaneous "offers" or sets of comped nights on your online TR room rate calendar causes the others you're seeing in that same time period to instantly vanish out of the system, *poof* as if they were never there.

Booking outside of the Total Rewards system by just simply calling up and guaranteeing a booking with your credit card and name isn't affected by any of these limitations built into that system, unless and until you try to get the rate reduced or comped through using your TR account's "offers" and/or your individual rate calendar.

MLife has finally fixed their online booking system. If you haven't, I'd recommend you take a look at it, I can finally book rooms online.

Update:
I have 2 cet hotels booked for 5 days for the same week. All free.

I found out that the 2 different promo codes each only gives me 3 free in nites.
The other 2 nites is based on my points, whatever that means.
What does it mean?

also, when I tried booking at one of the hotels for more than 5 days, I got charged for the days beyond 5.
so im only entitled to 2 free nites based on my points.
so how/if I'm affected at checkout since now im now getting 4 free nites because of my points instead of 2?

and I'm diamond.

edit:
meh.. overthinking this?

If a host asks just tell them that you are using both rooms. You have your wife in one and girlfriends in another and since they don't know about each other ask that he not make an issue about it.

worked last year.
was able to book 2 free rooms (rio and paris) for Aug.
rio for 7 days and paris for 5 days during the same time, both free.

this year booked flamingo for 6 days in Aug but no go on a free 2nd room at another property for 5 days.
website wouldn't even allow me to book a 2nd room. it said call (which was like last year).

but unlike last year when I called, this time the csr said they see a 6day reservation at Flamingo and a 2nd room at Ballys for 5days would be at friends and family rate.

Why don't you ask to speak to a host and tell he/she the situation? If you come up with a good heartfelt story, a host might hook you up. I believe they have a great level of influence on getting you the 2nd room comp'd based on your play and how much they want you at their property. When I was a platinum CET member several years ago, I had a free comp'd rooms Sun-Thurs at any Caesars property. I spoke to a host on duty at Paris over the phone and explained my situation that I needed 2 rooms due to the amount of people I had in my party. She totally understood and booked 2 free standard comp rooms. And she became my permanent host there after until she left CET.

I'm Diamond and have booked free rooms for friends lots of times. It is a rule that I have to check in but I can put other names on the room. When I do check in sometimes I get asked if I'm taking a stay-cation. I'm always honest and confess the room is for a friend and nobody ever said anything. I think they see it all the time.

In your case, I think as long as you give them some decent play for the five room, or whatever it was, they will be happy. I don't know much about how their system works or thinks, but other programs I was more familiar with put an emphasis on your value as a player and how much in comps you received. It may hurt future offers if your play was already marginal and you don't give them action for all these free rooms.
