Diamond Level at Rio

I was just upgraded to the diamond level at the Rio this month. With all the
talk about
the relative value of comp points at Harrah's, does anyone really really know
the value
of this status? My wife and I come to Las Vegas three times a year. What
benefits can I
expect to flow my way?

Harrahs Diamond Level is good at all Harrahs properties, not just the Rio. The best thing we have found from being Diamond is access to the clubs at their properties. The drinks are great and the food is usually pretty good. There are also some perks like free parking (in Atlantic City) some bonus points and special windows at the booths.

I made Diamond at Harrah's New Orleans where I usually play. They've
issued me a parking card where I can park in their garage and not
have to pay or worry about getting my ticket validated. Just swipe
the parking card to get in and out. I also noticed an increase in
the amount of mailings I've received - slot tournamets, room offers,
free buffets, etc. I've also seen an increase in the amount of
bounce back cash I receive each month. I haven't figured out the
formula of "so much play = so much bounce back". Also, when I was
Gold and tried to book a room at Harrah's vegas or Rio using their
web site, I would only get casino rate. When I moved up to Platnium,
I was getting some free rooms - usually for weekdays, with casino
rate for weekends. When I moved up to Diamond, all rooms became free
for any night of the week.

I also have a question for everyone. I'll be staying at the Rio the
week of Dec 28 - Jan 4 for free from what I assume is based on my
play at Harrah's New Orleans. Some nights were comped via the website
and some nights are on coupons from promotional mailings. However
since neither Rio or Harrah's have good VP, I don't plan on playing
there much. Do you think this will affect my ability to get free
rooms there in the future? I do plan on continuing to play at
Harrah's New Orleans.

S; I guess it just needs constant repeats. Find a comfortable Exec
Host at home Harrah's. Let them make arrangements for a host to host
hand off at Rio. Times I've told a host at Rio we just have nothing
to play there, they comment, "Yeah, and you're overcomped with the
room!" Big Easy'll understand, some, anyway if you've a decent host.
Rooms beat Harrah's anyway and go play at N side local welcomers, not
too distant. CD

Hi Scott. Over Thanksgiving I stayed at the
Rio and was comped for 4 nights. I'm a low roller 25 cent player. A
number of people on this board gently chided me for palying at the
Rio and discouraged me from giving them my play. Actually, I didn't
mind sitting for a few hours each night at an 8/5 BP machine
(99.166%). I went up and down and actually wound up a bit ahead. I
played elsewhere too. I do think my Rio offers will continue rolling
in and I would call it a good trade for someone in my situation. Do
what ever is right for you, of course. Good fortune to you. Bill
