Harrah's Diamond Lounge - new menu

#1

Went to the Diamond Lounge at Caesar's this week.

Get over there quick gang - they've got cocktail pretzels! Free!!!

Truly embarassing and worthless. Cheap bar "food" - pretzels,
pistachio nuts, some horrible walnut halves with a repulsive coating
of who knows what.

There were two bowls of what I guess is supposed to be hummus and
tahini, and cut up pieces of pita which were the worst I've ever
tasted.

Some other junk available, but nothing I'd touch.

No fresh fruit, my former mainstay.

I thought they'd eliminated desserts altogether, but they are
actually in a tiny alcove to the left of the usual buffet area.

2 or maybe 3 small bowls with teensy cookies, some mini mini slices
of brownies. No plates - don't want to encourage people to take more
than 1 square inch piece of brownie.

Just awful.

And the lounge was as empty as I've ever seen it - and on a weekend
evening during the Final Four weekend.

The beancounters will have success for the 1st 6 months of the
takeover - "Look at all of the food and labor costs we've cut".

The customer loss takes longer to show up on the balance sheets.

Someone's gotta pick up the tab for overpaying to take HET private.
Guess who? From what I'm hearing, it's been pretty wacky at a lot of
the properties.

   What remains to be seen is whether customers will indeed move to
other casinos.

My wife and I were "Loyal" Harrah's customers for many years. Yes we were 7* Players at one time and we are currently Diamond Players. Personally, I don't care if they close the Diamond and 7* lounges at all of their establishments. What I would like to see is the new owners bringning back some of the good VP games some of the Harrah's properties once had.
  If I want a drink, I'll go to the bar. If I want to eat, I'll go to one of the restaurants or snack bars. If I want to take a break, I'll go to my room or sit outside.
  If Harrah's continues to do away with some of the perks some of you are posting on this wesbsite, do what my wife and I did. Take your business elsewhere. There are other casinos out there chomping at the bit for your business and they will show their appreciation quite generously.

There is better food from 4PM-6PM, but after that it's back to chips and pretzles.

If and when Harrahs stops the gift card promotions that is when you will see business plummet. I can live with peanuts if I'm off to Macy's when I get home.
