Don’t Hate Good Promotions, Embrace Them
I recently posted in the TravelZork Facebook group about an upcoming Caesars Rewards 10x Tier Credit Multiplier for in-person play, which should be available for all players at all Caesars casinos.

Saying Goodbye To The Cosmopolitan As It Becomes An MGM Rewards Property
The Cosmopolitan is finally under the MGM Rewards umbrella. It only took a couple of years since MGM Resorts purchased the casino for this transition.
