New card level

Caesar’s announced they will be coming out with a new level above seven stars called Olympus. You need 300,000 tier credits and it’s invite only.

I'm more than there, so it's Olympus, by Zeus! (Ὄλυμπος μα τὸν Δία)

What doesn't really follow though is that Olympus is in Greece, while Caesar was a Roman. Although I suppose the Roman gods dwelled on Olympus too.

I got the invitation last week.

Are the benefits double 7stars for spending double 7stars $?

And what's the point?
Why come out with a fancy new title after all these years when people are used to saying double 7stars

And why not follow the extant metaphor with Triple Seven Stars when it is time to pamper some player ridiculously?
Twenty One has been popular for gamblers for what, two centuries now, it would catch on.

One benefit is that you will earn reward credits 40% faster.

Lol.. I'm diamond and I can't spend the rc fast enough.
I'm nearing 4 figures now.

I guess Olympus players can convert it to FreePlay at 50% penalty but with the extra 40% perk, it's only a 30% penalty.
(140%/2 is 70% of true value aka 30% penalty)

Meanwhile, there are some of us sweating it out just to maintain platinum - speaking of which, when is Caesars going to fix the parking machines at PH/Miracle Mile so they will read my card and I don't have to keep calling the help desk?

Caesars Vegas has new machines in place that seem to work quite well. They read the 7 Stars card on the way in as they are supposed to, open the gate, and then the gate opens automatically on the way out without need to scan the card again at all, as long as the exit is within a certain period of time.

This is the way the gates are supposed to work, but haven't been working.

You will know if your Caesars owned casino has the new machines too as their screens are different from the old ones.


Meantime Fontainebleau's parking stopped working well, and started working the way you describe.

On the way in? I was told that the card is scanned on the way out - that way, there is no time limit.

Also, I had no problem with the machine at Vanderpump.

There is no time limit as long as you qualify for free parking. Just that you don't have to scan (slide) the card again on the way out if exit is within a certain period of time.

Before when the machines didn't work you'd see a message about "Invalid Card - See host" on the way in, and have to pull a regular paper ticket, and then deal with the machine on the way out. Now you see and hear the Welcome, Drive Inside, and don't need to do anything on the way out gate just opens automatically as long as you have not been in there too long.

Palazzo has some problems, especially on P1, with reading the diamond or chairman cards on the way out.

At MGM casinos my Noir card will get me in, but then I must scan it again on the way out. The only advantage seems to be that then I don't have to insert a parking ticket on the way out because I don't receive one on the way in. If I don't scan the Noir card on the way in, then I must present the parking ticket I received on the way out or else it won't accept the player card at all.

There is no 50% haircut for redeeming RCs on the CZR online sites:

Redeem your Reward Credits for Casino Bonus Cash that can be used towards in-app casino play on Caesars Sportsbook and Casino, or Caesars Palace Online.
Redeem up to 120,600 For $1,206.00

I had a 15x RC multiplier a few days ago. I have a 10x RCM on top of a 5x tier credit multiplier today. I already earned the cap of 2000 RCs today for an extra 18000 RCs or an equivalent of $200 in FSP.

The double 7* status does not appear to be very valuable. I don't value a 7-night retreat. I might change my mind if a 15x RCM becomes a 15*1.4x RCM under the new program. The 15x that I receive regularly is only for 7*. I don't remember what the multiplier was for lower tiers, but I am certain there was no Olympus-level multiplier listed in these earlier RCM promos.

If they base the invitation partly on W/L record, I doubt that I will be invited.

If you have that you're eligible. If not, forget it.

I have exponentially more and a win record that makes it hard for me to get any kind of discount on the occasional loss, no matter how far back the prior play was. I used to have an understanding that everything was "trip to trip" but occasionally they balk and point out that I am up ____ for the year, etc.

I have a million but am showing a win for the last few years. So I wasn’t expecting to be invited

Some elite tiers like Chairman at Wynn have two different ways to get it. I believe one is to book a certain loss for the year, the other is to achieve the tier credits. But I've won at Wynn and I remain Chairman so I wouldn't worry about being disinvited to anything if you have the tiers.

However if all you play is slots, I don't know how that exactly works because I avoid those unless I am playing with free play. Perhaps slots winners are so rare that they just kick you out of anything good period.

Click on the period (full stop) in my post ;)

I was making a joke because I've never placed more than the minimum bet, rarely gamble, and mostly play games with extremely low house edges (blackjack variants).

Man, I thought I'd seen most of the sneaky formatting tricks, but that's amusing.

even people with limited accounts can get seven star, so makes sense to add something more. going from diamond to 7s is worth like a little more than $1500 for me, so going from 7s to this new one *should* be worth double that, since it takes double the tc. obvious and easy way to do it would be, $600 monthly bets, an extra $1000 celebration meals, cruise plus retreat plus 50000 reward credits (or any combination, i/d just take the reward credits). that would make the total value about $10,000, plus all the rc we earn along the way. would be nice. big downside would be if it/s like the old seven stars which wasn/t automatic and could get our bets looked at. those of us backed off of the vegas drink tickets would still probably not get them, even at like $3 million in action for the year.
