Las Vegas is a great choice for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders to extract value from the
new $300 Chase Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables benefit. With ties to Caesars Rewards,
visitors will also earn Tier Credits and Reward Credits thanks to the Chase benefit.
Recently, Chase announced a refresh of its Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card, adding many
benefits and increasing the annual fee from $550 to $795. One new benefit, a $300 dining credit
($150 from January through June and another $150 from July through December) with Sapphire
Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurant partners, allows users to offset dining purchases in Las
Vegas and other locations. No reservation or special booking is needed to redeem the credit,
simply use the Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen near Caesars Palace Las Vegas is included in the list of
Las Vegas Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables eligible locations.
Potentially, the credit can be used for gift shop items and food (or maybe just a raid of the gift
shop), depending on how the gift shop register codes, or if the restaurant allows adding
merchandise to the dining bill.
Another strategy, rather than using the entire $150 credit on food, especially considering many
other dining offers in Vegas with MGM and MyVegas rewards, I’d like to walk away with gift shop
items from Hell’s Kitchen.
Dining or buying merchandise at Hell’s Kitchen should also earn Caesars Rewards Tier Credits
and Reward Credits because Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders will be charging their credit
card and not using Reward Credits. If spending more than $150, Hell’s Kitchen should also
allow visitors to use a combination of $150 charged to Chase Sapphire Reserve and Reward
Credits to cover the remaining balance.
Caesars Rewards Diamond Plus cardholders may also be able to redeem complimentary
alcoholic drinks, four per day, at Hell’s Kitchen while also using the Chase Sapphire Reserve
Exclusive Tables Benefit.
If Hell’s Kitchen is fully booked or you’d like to try another Caesars Rewards linked option with
Chase Sapphire Exclusive Tables, also consider Nobu at Caesars Palace or Vanderpump at
Paris. Other Las Vegas Chase Sapphire Exclusive Tables options (although not linked with
Caesars Rewards) include Esther’s Kitchen, Harlo Steakhouse and Bar, La Strega, Momofuku,
and Top of the World at Stratosphere.
The new Chase Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables benefit should be easily used and provide
great value in Las Vegas, especially since many reading this article will go to Las Vegas multiple
times per year. Consider planning a visit to Hell’s Kitchen after the benefit goes live October
26th, 2025 before the end of the year.

even with an increased annual fee, listen to my recent Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast episode:
