How would you guys and gals like to have to run 2 million through the machines at Mohegan Sun in Ct. to maintain Soar status. That is about what it takes playing vp. You do get free rooms, lounge access, some shows, unlimited golf, a little free play, some nominal gifts nobody needs etc. but that is about it. 2017 will be the final year for Soar for me. The moths just flew out of my wallet when I opened it.

It all depends how much you use it. If I were to play 200 rounds of golf a year, running $10,000 in coin in lieu of greens fees, carts and such might be a bargain.

Platinum is good for cutting some lines, but it's main advantage is the free parking in Vegas.
Diamond Lounges are very overcrowded these days. Most of the ones in Vegas are pretty useless.
CET has really downgraded it's Diamond, imo.


What do you mean by diamond club lounges in Vegas are useless? Do they not have food or run out of beverages....? What's making them useless precisely?

In order to achieve and maintain Casino Rama"s top card level (diamond) VP, coin of $2.25 million is needed each 6 months!   Even their next to top level (platinum plus) requires $750000 each 6 months. When their video poker games were a bit better, we used to play on one card there, and did maintain platinum plus status for a few years. Now, our play there is minimal.

I once mentioned to them that, with intelligent use of Caesar's tier credit bonus system, it was possible to achieve seven stars status with a lot less play. They didn't seem to care.
