Whoa, this is a potentially big deal on their fine print:

Atlantis management reserves the right to modify, change or cancel at its sole discretion. If you accept this offer and do not show any rated casino play, the Atlantis may charge you for some or all of your upfront complimentaries including rooms, food & drink, limos, etc.

I found a FlyerTalk thread where it appears they actually enforce this. Any info from RFD members?
I did it in May. I just spent a few hours playing video blackjack and slot machines. I ended up in the green, but even if I had been down a couple hundred I wouldn't have cared, given that the stays were kinda free.

Yes, there are some fees. A crappy hot dog is $6, plus tax, plus mandatory gratuity, so it's $9US.

We ate at Dunkin Doughnuts for breakfast each day, it's a bit of a walk from the towers but saves a lot of money.

We stopped at a grocery store on the way in, got wraps, cheeze, lunch meat, butter, and pop. So that was our lunch most days. But be aware, even that's not cheap, a lb of lunch meat is $8US and a 4l jug of OJ was $14US.

At dinner we usually went into the marina area, where burgers and fried were $15 or so. Not cheap, but I can live with it.

Bear in mind, people pay way over $100 to visit for the day from a cruise ship... so even the resort fee and $50/day for food is a tremendous bargin.

You are correct there is no free charge card but a gold at $150 (usually a GCR deal for first year cash back) keeps the points until you churn back to Plat.

What lounges were you expecting? If you wanted MLL you need the Aeroplat. Just cancel it, you don't have to pay the annual fee

If anyone else needs to check Plat lounge finder.

You can convert into a number of airline and hotel loyalty programs. PoT has a handy diagram: Points Programs

Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Thanks for posting, I was looking for vacation ideas for end of December. This might be it if I can get in on that 4 night stay for free. I'm down to gamble too if it's 4 hours for the whole stay according to the previous link, might not do 4 hrs a day that some posters were saying. Let me know if there's anything else related.

greg898 wrote: The current deal ends Jan 31 2020 and there isn't anything saying that they will continue the promotion after that so it's a bit of unknown. And with the free supplementary card you should be able to get 8 free nights since the second card gets it's own hotel statuses.

I haven't done it yet but I think you need to match to Wyndham rewards first then to Caesar's. The instructions should be online if you google their reward programs.
I did this with my wife’s platinum card this past year. It was quite easy to do but then we cancelled when we found out how expensive the flight and food is at the Atlantis resort. I guess I’m a cheapskate :)

Damn was thinking of doing the same thing. Food and flight must be really expensive?

What are the different types of class or lounge?

Is the centurion lounge the same as the one you get with the centurion card?

Go buy a paypower pre paid master card at Safeway or Canadian tire and reload with your Amex everytime. Take your loaded prepaid pay power master card and buy Costco cash card at checkout or Costco.ca and use the cash card to pay your Costco spending.
