How much is 400 pts worth?

Since Eldorado Casino in Reno acquired Caesar’s, all their rewards turned into the Caesar’s system. 1st time I have played downtown since the acquisition. Under the new rewards system, I played craps approximately 3 hrs betting pretty conservatively and earned 400 pts. Is that $4 or $40 earned in comp dollars?

If it’s $4, I am much better off playing with an independent casino vs a casino that is part of a conglomerate. I want to be rated based off the local level of Reno, not Vegas.

Looks too much like a penny a point. Half a cent a point if you want free play for your points.

There are two different sets of points - Reward Credits and Tier Credits.

I'm not quite sure how you earn Tier Credits, or what they're for - probably to earn Platinum / Diamond / Seven Stars.

Reward Credits are definitely penny a point; I get those from my Caesar's Visa card. While it doesn't say exactly how table games rate points, it's 1 point per $5 bet on slots, and 1 point per $10 bet on (non-full pay) VP. (The card pays 1 point per $1 spent, with double points for "restaurants, travel, and entertainment," and 5x points when used at a Caesar's property.)

So far both responses are correct. Are the 400 points TIER points or REWARD points?

I guess it doesn’t really matter, my play is somewhat considered high in local independent casinos but compared to Las Vegas, it’s minimal. I am better off playing at places where $10 BIJ can still get you free rooms

Correct me if I’m wrong here… It matters, because if those are Tier Points, then your Reward Points may be much higher… It’s the Reward Points that indicate the comps you have earned.

Unfortunately 400 points is very low whether they're tier points or reward points.

If you play every few weeks, 400 points per session would get you Platinum status, but I don't know what benefits that gets you.

Free valet parking for platinum at Caesars Palace. I know that even though I dont play there. My friends tell me it's the only worthwhile benefit left.

I live in Reno, it’s free to park at every casino including Valet so that particular perk wouldn’t apply.

With the exception of bonuses and promotions, Tier Credits (TC's) and Rewards Credits (RC's) are earned at the same rate. However, Caesars casinos often run multiplier promotions for either TC's or RC's. In addition, there are certain TC bonuses for accumulating certain levels of play during a single gaming day. E.g., If you earn 500 TC in one day, you get a 125 TC bonus, earning a total of 625 TC's for that day.

As mentioned above, TC's are used determine your card/status level (5,000 TC's for Platinum, 15,000 TC's for Diamond, and so on). RC's can be used for comps. They are worth a penny a point, but be careful using them for dining as some casino restaurants redeem at 2:1. That is, your RC's are only worth half a penny at some restaurants.

So, yes Vegasrider, I agree with your assessment that Caesars Rewards is very stingy with comps. However, I do find they will often make up for this by sending generous room offers for return visits.

$4.00 and Silver Legacy's rewards system is wack as h#ll! I am still fighting with them over $400 in RC's that they took from me on a supposedly comped flight/hotel offer back in March.

I would steer away from the Caesar’s properties in Reno. You are better of at the Nugget in Sparks. My friend from Connecticut never pays for a hotel room when he visits and he plays $10-$25 BJ. Puts in long sessions. He also gets free rooms at the Grand Sierra but they tried to screw him last visit.

Can you explain how they tried to screw him? I visit GSR occasionally so I'm curious

Doesn’t that cost extra?

GSR added an extra $10 a night because he booked the comp rooms with an operator and they also charged him a resort fee. He likes the GSR because there are more games , by far probably the largest casino in Reno.

By square footage definitely but I would wager dollars to donuts Pepp/Atlantis have more gross revenue. Could be wrong, though. Nugget doesn't even register anymore.

$10+ a night is annoying and I get it, but how could Caesars make a $400 mistake on a comped offer? And they've done this kind of thing more than a couple times (this was probably the worst offense).

There is a new casino opening up at the Marina this summer. Not going to be very big but enough to have one pit of table games. No hotels but a Marriott Residence Inn and a Hampton Inn suites is just across the street. I expect they will have a favorable rewards system and promos to steal away players from the Western Village which is right down the street and the Nugget. How they will find dealers and employees to open up the joint I have no idea.
