MGM Platinum Rewards vs. Ceasars Diamond Rewards

[3peet]

Anyone have these memberships? We stay at Bellagio often but spend alot more time playing, eating and shopping at Ceasars. Seems as though there's more to do there.
From what I'm noticing there's been a significant drop off in the MGM rewards. Pre-Covid it wasn't hard to get a variaty of comps and good Bonus Play w/ MGM. We've gone 4 times in the last 2 years and noticed even w/ the stays the offers aren't as abundant.

Does anyone have a preference? or anyone speak to if Ceasars is good to have?

Can't speak for MGM, but Caesars has also pulled back.

Laurel Lounges are just about all gone. Free upgrades gone unless you are at least diamond elite(75,000 plus points)

Could get up to 4 free drinks each day at diamond. They still have that but you now need to be diamond plus.(25,000 points)

Still a good program. Free hotel rooms(actually free as you aren't charged resort fees or taxes). Still get decent offers of hotel room plus flight for around $100 or less per person, sometimes completely free for 3-4 nights along with 1 guest.

Plus there are plenty of homeless people you can go beat up on just a few blocks away. You must really love that place

Have been Caesar's Diamond for quite a few years now. We live in LV and can get comp rooms about any time we want there. Other big benefits are no resort fees, no parking fees and free valet. On the downside, since Eldorado took over, everything is worse at the CET properties. I can elaborate if you like.
I have not been in an MGM property since they started charging locals for parking. That will change as my worse nightmare came true when MGM took over the Cosmo. Sooner or later they will ruin everything that makes the Cosmo great. For that reason alone, I would recommend CET and I am using up my comps at Cosmo.

There is still a Laurel Lounge at the Isle Casino in Pompano Beach Florida. No food any more but very good free booze. They just made it 8 drinks a day limit but that isn't that big a deal.

There are two places that still comp me well, Foxwoods and The Atlantis. Used to love Ceasars, just haven't been there much recently

In CT, Foxwoods evidently comps craps much better than the Mohegan Sun. The Sun is only good for concerts

If I get maybe $ 8 an hour at Mohegan, I get $ 40 per hour at Foxwoods

The Atlantis offers 5 free nights for two rooms plus a $ 300 food credit like all year long

No Laurel Lounges in Vegas anymore. If you are Diamond plus or above, you can get a ticket for two free upscale drinks daily.

 

[crudebar]

Yeah. They offer buffet tickets also.

They really scaled back during(obviously) and after covid.

Anyone know exactly how to track reward activity? for MGM it only shows the bottom line earned YTD. It does show the breakdown of how much was earned after each event.
