Good luck, I just got back from Caesars 5 day trip and got mugged.  Paytables are horrid and couldn't get anything to hit.  Played about 50+ hours best hand was AWAK 1 time.  Had better luck around the backside by the sports book playing flex play double play. I had to walk over to the Beau just to win some money only to loose at Caesers.  I did this on 3 occasions. Go figure.

Wow, now I'M really confused. Caesars is in Las Vegas, and The Beau is in Biloxi, Mississippi. That is one heck of a walk..
I was @ Caesars LV this past week, in addition to Aria, and had about the same experience. I got my fair share of premium quads, but no kickers.

Thanks Sonny for the tip, I will have to check those out.

Yes brmcc, we do have a car and plan on it up many others during the trip. But I am usually up at 5am and heading down to the casino to play why wife sleeps so thats when I will play most at Caesars.

My surprise for the comped rooms is because we only usually get comped at IP, Ballys or Flamingo. Caesar's was always 79 or more a night, was shocked when they said FREE!!

That's great, Tony. It is probably a time-of-year thing making Caesars available to you. We were there last week, and it was already above 100 each day. 
 
See if you can get in the Augustus Tower instead. I think it is much nicer. All they can say is 'No'.

There is a Caesars/Harrahs property called The Grand in Biloxi, but it is a LOOONG walk from The Beau. I thought this thread, though, was about Vegas.

Yea sorry, I meant Bellagio which is connected to Caesers.  I always get the Bea Rivage and Bellagio mixed up.  Anyway there is a bank of $1 progressive right next to the bar that played pretty hot.  This was the only place I had any luck on my 5 day visit on muliple occasions.  And I played everywhere from Red Rock, Paris, Planet Hollywood, MGM, New York New York, Aria, Cosmo, Casers, Wynn and everything in between.  The Bellagio was the only place I remotly had any luck, others was 1000$ or $1500  and nothing.  Red Rock being the worst.  I did hit Aces at Paris on the bank next to the elevator but I was 1200 in when I did that and they were dealt.  No kicker.

I have heard a lot of good things regarding VP there.

Yeah, Bellagio makes more sense for a stroll from Caesars. Did you know that Steve Wynn originally had the two resort's named as Bellagio in Biloxi and the Beau Rivage in Vegas? But when then-Harrahs announced building Paris in LV, Steve decided he did not want two French-sounding resorts so close on the strip, so he switched the names.
 
Just some more worthless info from BillyJoe..

I had heard it was because beau rivage meant beautyful waterfront.
