Big Guy: I had a 7 Star trip to Caesars a couple of years ago and it was absolutely great. We prefer more upscale environment so that fit us perfectly. The room in the Augustus tower was great; food & service at all outlets wonderful and overall ambiance excellent. I have stayed at Ballys, Paris, Harrahs and Rio, although not as a 7 Star. The accommodations were good but we never felt that the properties were luxury enough. Paris started reaching it, but we just never liked the casino ambiance.
I will tell you, though, just because you are 7 Star, you will be just one of many, so don't expect truely differential treatment like you might get at a smaller property. Now, I have read a report by someone who chose the Flamingo and did receive that special treatment, but personally, we do not care for the casino.
All of the CE properties have terrible pay schedules for VP, unless you jump up to the $5 level for 9/6 JOB. There are not many of those machines at each property either.
We have been to the Paris/Ballys, Harrah's, Flamingo and Caesars Diamond lounges. Of those, I would rank Caesars then Paris. The other two are also rans. Have not been to the Rio Diamond lounge. Some may disagree because they are looking for more substantial food offerings (none of them are great) but we just look for ambiance and a place to relax.
Caesars restaurants are all excellent albeit pricey, as all are I guess. Have not really eaten at others although I would strongly recommend the Eifle Tower restaurant at Paris, if you want a nice romantic dinner for two. The view is spectacular, the food excellent and service also is excellent.
As far as the 7* perks, look on the CE webiste and you can find the various benefits by property. The Caesars pool complex is excellent; we have not experienced the others. Also the Spa at Caesars is outstanding for both sexes. As we don't do the night clubs etc. we cannot comment on that.
Do not forget that both Diamond and 7 Star holders can get a pair of free tickets to several CE shows. I would strongly recommend Human Nature (a wierd name for an Aussie group that sings Motown - sounds wierd, but outstanding performance.).
Thats it for right now. Have fun.
