This is a heads up that if you're not currently rated with Harrah's
for AC casinos (e.g. you have no online offers) and you plan on an AC
visit, it may be advantageous to book online.
Bev (my wife) resurrected her long dormant card (no play since 2002)
with play while we were on vacation at Lake Tahoe in September. Her
home casino was reset to Harrah's Tahoe and she's received offers
there since.
We decided to extend our New Years at Caesars-AC by a stay in advance
at Showboat on her account, where she'll complete the play to extend
Diamond through next year. We booked online. Two days later I find
that she's been extended $100 cash, $100 comps, and a $100 gift card
to the Pier/Waterfront shops -- not a bad "new player" incentive.
(This offer will be in the form of mailed coupons redeemable anytime
during the first quarter at any AC Harrah's property -- we may not
have the mailer in hand for this weekend.) She also now has room
offers for AC in her account.
I imagine similar offers would have been extended had she booked by
phone -- either way, this really sweetens the deal.
