DaBurglar, yes I am saying that casinos still treat me just as good and if not better than say 2007.

How can you call me a "bandwagon jumper" when I was the FIRST one to reply to your query? A bandwagon jumper is someone who goes ALONG with what everyone else says or does. A bandwagon jumper is historically NOT the first respondent.

I'm not getting the same free play offers from Borgata that I got years ago. Have been Black Label since they opened. But other than that, still treated as well as ever.

 really like the borgata, just wish the machines liked me as much. my offers from the casinos i frequent have gone down, but increased from casinos i have not visited in some time. thinking about your post, out of the hundreds of times i have been to a casino, i have always been treated well. do not want to generalize, but the indian casinos seem to have happier/friendlier employees. your post is worth remembering, in general, i believe casinos do a good job training employees to be pleasant and helpful.

I find most casino employees friendly, helpful and willing to go out of their way to please their customers. I have never had a bad experience with a casino manager or employee. In fact, I have had some refund my money in the most questionable of circumstances. My only problem with current casino operations is the degrading of video poker odds and the obvious collusion between casinos to keep the odds low in certain markets. Biloxi is a perfect example. The casinos drove the Margaritaville Casino out of business because they offered good low denomination video poker games and it was costing them customers. As soon as it closed, the rest of the casinos lowered their odds back down. The best way to combat this tactic is to play somewhere else.

I don't have to but I will because you are really starting to get quite ponderous. If you had any reading comprehension you will see in my first line that a visit weekly.  I call the Diamond VIP hotline to make my room reservation. Diamond lounge or buffets are free. I prefer to drink Belvedere Vodka as compared to the swill you platinum players get. I on occasion will use some of my many RC and have a steak at The Steakhouse. The reason I have so many RCs is because I maximize my play on multiplier days. As of last count 8 royals this year and 6 aces w/k. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and better luck next year where ever you play. 

First off, I do not drink At all (Swill or the pretentious overpriced "perception is reality embodied" stuff labeled "BELVEDERE" that you enjoy....)     Second, I used to be diamond but bailed out on the whole ripoff a couple years ago when I (a) cut way back on my Video poker play in AC and (b) began playing most of my poker, and the remaining amount of VP play at just about any other AC casino BESIDES the CET properties.....and the main reason (besides lousy paytables and the switch to server based games) was the fact that service levels at all three CET properties in AC sucked, although I will grant you HARRAHS is the best of the three (i.e. least "sucky").....obviously I still manage to play just enough to stay at platinum level and get the "basic" most important elements like rooms and food, but it is not hard to earn platinum over the course of a year if you take advantage of all the multipliers like you said you do.....This is great, here you are crowing how awesome Harrahs is (and by implication is JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER than it was back in the good ol' days prior to the recession, CET's debt crisis and the AC meltdown), and yet numerous other posters here maintain the polar opposite......and I offer the greatest evidence to this end starting with ROVEER (remember him?)    Now here is a guy who was indeed seven star, and who's combined play (weekly, monthly, yearly, whatever)  probably topped Yours, mine and TEd's combined.....he documented at length and ad nauseum just how far CET/Harrahs had sunk and how lousy things were compared to what they used to be.....And good ol' Billy Joe, currently residing in the "where are they now file?" , voiced similar sentiments although not nearly as strong as roveer......SO again, it must be that Jeter and Ted are simply the luckiest (and most fortunate) CET customers/players currently posting at this forum.Either that, or they simply have very short, sketchy memories.......the vast majority of people agree that the AC (and elsewhere) Casino scene of 2015 is a very VERY sick, poor imitation of what previously existed circa 2007 and before......how anyone can dispute this given all that has happened (and continues to happen) is beyond me, regardless of their own personal "immunity" to lousy service, lousy food, lousy paytables etc.
