| - By far this is my favorite hotel in Vegas. What made it even better was I stayed here FREE (3 days 2 nts)!!!! I am not talking about their classic guest room. I am talking about the Augustus Tower room!!! These rooms run for about $450 per night on weekends!!!
I usually stay at the Venetian (also free) because I like the big suite room, but I thought I'd check out Caesars. I checked in at the Diamond Check-in and the staff was very courteous. When I first walked into the room, my jaw almost dropped with a 'WOW'. It was ultra modern and very luxurious looking. Although not quite as big as a suite, it was very roomy with a nice couch and chair in the sitting area. I am guessing the room is about 600 sq ft. We had a gorgeous view of the Garden of Gods Pool. Double-vanity marble bathroom with a walk-in shower and Jacuzzi tub which I took full advantage of every night! 32" Plasma TV in the room with a 17" in the bathroom. And the bed, OMG, the bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in with plush comforter and pillows. I loved it so much I contacted the hotel concierge to find out where we could purchase it. Honey got it for me as my birthday present!!!! The bed was by Serta.
Their diamond lounge is the best diamond lounge among all Harrah's chain. There is also a seven-star lounge that I doubt I'd ever make it in (100,000 points to become 7-star member). The diamond lounge is good enough for me. It serves hot breakfast - scrambled eggs and bacon, sandwiches and wraps for lunch, and hot appetizers along with sandwiches for dinner. Pastries, cheese and crackers, pasta salad, and fresh fruits are served all day long. You can get just about any kind of drinks you want from the bar. Everything is free, just make sure you tip the server who brings you the drinks.
This is where a lot of celebrities stay and we ran into one in the elevator. He was super nice and even chatted with us. I promised him I was not going to harass him with a picture. And he said he was happy that we recognized him.
The Forum Shops and Appian Way Shops are huge if you like shopping. You will find all the designer labels if you are into that. There are so many restaurants to choose from, too, from cafe to steakhouse. Another advantage of being a diamond card holder is that I get to go in the diamond line and skip the long wait.
I really felt like a royalty at Caesars!
