Even better. At Harrahs Rincon in San Diego the staff at the diamond lounge gets paid by the amount of trays (fruits, vegs, etc) it brings out each night (25.00 each). They make no tips or salary just commision of the trays. As of June 1st they will go to hourly at 9.00$. This is about a 75% pay cut. With no incentive to change the trays I could imagine how long the food will sit there. Maybe the 5 hours it is open now.

Even more egregious, in my opinion, is that Caesars
Palace doesn' t provide a coffee pot in the room like every other
hotel at every price level in the country. If you want a coffee
pot, it will cost you $40.00. So, if you need your morning coffee
upon awaking, you have a choice. You can call room service, wait
for an ridiculously long period and get ripped off in the process by
an excessive room service charge or pay for the coffee pot.
That is egregious on their part. Every hotel and motel above a Motel
6 - and many below a Motel 6 - have a coffeepot -and coffee - in the
room.
And even Motel 6's have free coffee in the lobby in the morning.
Yet the rooms - including mini suites - at Caesar's and at least
some of the other HET properties don't provide a coffee setup.
The room service charge of $5 is ridiculous also. The basic room
service food items already have their prices hiked up. So the fact
that it is "room service" is already built into the price of the
food. A minimum wage employee delivers the food, and the customer
(of course) pays his salary with an 18% Gratuity charge.
So why charge an extra 5 bucks? As someone noted in an anecdote in
this thread "Because they can". Certainly a ripoff.
A casino giant nickel and dimeing their customers.
The Diamond Lounge at Caesar's keeps getting worse.
There are a number of gloppy spreads/dips available, but good luck
figuring out what the ingredients are, or what the item is called.
I guess this is where the real gambling is done at Caesar's these
days.
Any buffet with so many difficult to identify items would have
labels.
I guess to make up for the dwindling amount of customers using the
lounge, Caesar's D Lounge is now hiding the coffee and tea urns, so
that one has to now get if from a server, and the previously free
cup of coffee is now a "free" $1 cup of coffee (assuming one tokes).
What a dump they've rapidly turned Caesar's into.
