All the offers I have had from Harrah's in Las Vegas for the month of
June have disappeared. I have offers from other properties across the
country, but all the Vegas offers are gone!
Has anyone else had the offers at Harrahs erased from the site?
I just logged in. My Vegas offers for June are there.

Hmmmmm, maybe it has to do with your rating. Are you 7 star? I am

Mine also. All the 3 free nights per month type offers along with the
summerfest offers. I thought about emailing them, but since I was not
planning on using them, why bother

I have seen some of my offers "disappear", so now I check my offers
daily. If something looks even remotely interesting I immediately book
it.
I also recommend reading the details of multiple offers fully even
though they look the same. For example, you might receive two separate
online offers that say "Two Free Nights at Paris". Yet one lets you
book on the weekend and includes a food and beverage allowance and the
other "blacks out" more dates and includes only the room. So, always
plug in the dates you want to stay with all applicable offer codes.
Also remember to scroll online to the bottom of the booking page to see
if other Harrahs properties have better room choices for your dates.

It's certainly prudent to check Harrah's offers frequently. If for
no other reason than that new offers constantly appear.
I have never had a HET offer disappear unless the time period for
the offer had expired.
Currently, I have 4-5 free night offers for every HET venue,
including all the LV properties. Most of them are valid until 8/31.
Some also include free airfare for two, free dining and FP.
Several times I have booked offers, then found what I considered
to be a better offer (for me) from another casino, and cancelled
the HET trip. Because of the poor VP inventory, I rarely take
advantage of the HET's nice offers. I'd much rather have access to
positive VP, than ride on a HET charter. However, with the current
cost of airfares, I may revise my thinking.

HET offers will disappear if there is a capacity limit for the offer and they have reached their limit.

I wish that were true.
Maybe sometimes they disappear. But, a couple of times, I have called a
Harrah's property, attempting to book an offer that was in my portfolio and
was told that the offer was sold out.
It would have saved me time, had these offers been removed from my list.

Now, I know the site is just screwy. Even the offers I booked are
not listed anymore, but I called and they are still there.
Also, I have never had a charter flight offer on line, but have gotten
those in the mail. As someone posted, best to check on a daily basis.

Yes, because with rising fuel prices any reimbursement of your travel
expenses adds to your total return.
Assume Harrahs offers me $400 "travel cash" which I collect at the
cage upon check-in. The $400 makes $40000 coin-in on a lowly Harrahs
VP machine equal to playing elsewhere where I would earn 1% more. So,
Harrahs VP in this case isn't any "poorer". I know, there are other
factors like cash back, comps etc. that you would also evaluate. And,
you just might not like staying at Harrahs. Can't argue with that one.
All I am saying is that providing travel should be considered in your
evaluation of offers. The closer an incentive is to cash you would
spend the more closely I consider it.
Every HET offer that I've every had was published on-line first,
in "My Offers", on the Harrah's site. A week or so later, I receive
the coupons for the on-line offers by snail-mail.
However, the charter flight offers cannot be booked on-line. If you
pull up the details of the offer, an 800 number is given for the
player's use in booking the offer.
I guess that HET uses different strokes for different folks. I doubt
that any of us can figure out the criteria that their marketing
department utililizes when making offers.
When I've played at a Harrah's casino (a VERY infrequent occurrence)
I was NOT staying at the casino and all my play was done in one day
on $1.00 9/6JOB, 8/5BP or 9/7/5/DB. Of course, that was because
nothing under the $1.00 denom. was playable (for me).
My playing sessions usually lasted between 2-4 hours. Typically,
this generated $12K to $20K of c/i.
I was lucky, in MOST HET visits, and came out ahead. On my last
visit, I did poorly, losing almost $1K, in the 3 hours played. It
seems though, that my offers remain constant despite the difference
in the individual "trip" results.

I totally agree, Mike. I've done the "math", discussed it with my
very bright EH, and come to the same conclusion. I just haven't
acted on yet. You know what they say about "old dogs".....{{O:

It doesn't have to be a travel incentive. It just has to be something
you truly want and would pay for anyway.
Harrahs' properties offer gift cards frequently. I happen to like
Macy's and enjoy shopping there, especially on sale events. So, if
I get a Macy's offer I usually accept it. That's not the case with,
for example, Neiman-Marcus which I have seen appear in both MGM Grand
and NYNY offers lately. Neiman's has great merchandise, but it is not
somewhere I ordinarily shop.
You also see free spa treatments once in awhile. That's also a
nice "perk", but it isn't something I would be willing to accept a
lower return on the VP I play.
Finally, what about merchandise? In general, I would rather pick out
my own with a gift card than gamble on what Harrahs might give me.
The nightmare scenario? A male friend made a special trip to
Harrahs recently on a free luggage offer and did take it home.
If only Harrahs had told him in advance it would be pink.
Called my sister that night and it took a solid minute for me to stop
laughing to finally blurt out the unfortunate news.
