Caesars Launches New $300 Promotion with Dining Credit

LAS VEGAS -- Caesars Entertainment has rolled out a new $300 promotion to draw visitors to its more affordable strip resorts. Through the end of 2025, guests can book a two-night stay at Harrah's, The LINQ, or The Flamingo for $300, which includes fees or taxes. They’ll also receive a $200 food and beverage credit to use at restaurants throughout Caesars properties. We confirmed directly with Caesars that this food and beverage credit is valid at several restaurants and cafes across all of their properties, not just the three hotels in the deal. 

The hotel package price includes all resort fees and taxes, but gratuity is not included in the dining credit. Vegas visitors should know tipping is a non-negotiable in Las Vegas and expect to tip servers and bartenders regardless. If the only out-of-pocket expense is gratuity, that’s still a win, especially since most travelers don’t usually budget for it until they’re done with their dinner. 

What's the Catch?

It’s fair to say that the Flamingo, Harrah's, and The LINQ are Caesars' lowest tier properties in Las Vegas. The deal is most likely meant to increase traffic for some of Caesars’ lower-demand resorts, but it’s not nearly as exciting as if they were to offer this at Caesars Palace or The Cromwell. One Instagram commenter even said, “I think I'd rather sleep in the LINQ parking garage during a rainstorm” than book the deal, so there's obviously mixed reception. That’s saying a lot, considering how the LINQ’s parking structure is notorious for flooding during heavy monsoon storms.

The deal might look generous on paper, but these resorts are already affordably priced compared to competitors along the Strip, especially on non-peak days. According to Momondo, a travel search engine service, Harrah’s can often run around $150 per night with fees. The real discount is in the dining credit, but visitors might find that $200 only stretches so far depending on the types of restaurants chosen. 

The prices on the Strip are notably on the high end for food and beverage as is, but the deal provides a lot of flexibility on use as it is applicable across all Caesars' properties. Guests can choose from lowkey spots like grab-and-go spots or upscale restaurants like Gordon Ramsay Burger or Pinky’s, as long as it’s within Caesars' Rewards. To receive the dining credit, guests simply need to charge to their room. The value of the $300 package is a decent deal for someone looking for an affordable stay in Vegas, but the value goes much further with encouraging guests to dine at Caesars properties.

“There’s no better time to visit Vegas, and this package is an incredible value in the heart of The Strip,” said Dan Walsh, SVP and General Manager of the three mid-Strip resorts. “From upscale dining to convenient, fast-casual meals, this offer gives guests the opportunity to try a wide range of options across all our Las Vegas resorts.”

Don’t Forget to Stop at the Spa

Along with the $300 deal, Caesars Entertainment also announced an “All-You-Can-Spa” package at the spas at Harrah's and The LINQ. The package includes four hours of spa treatments, and guests can choose from facials, massages, body scrubs, and mud wraps. 

The deal is priced at $475 at Harrah's or $500 at The LINQ. According to a representative from the spa, the deal is not combinable with any other discounts or promotions and does not include gratuity. The best part of this deal is that it isn’t just for hotel guests - Vegas locals are welcome to enjoy it as well. 

Compared to standard Strip spa pricing, this kind of pricing on four hours of spa treatments is a steal. Other spas along the strip may be more luxurious, but charge upwards of $200 for an hour-long treatment, not including gratuity. Caesars deal bundles four treatments with full-day spa amenity access, making it a true hidden gem spa deal available right now.

Bottom Line on the Value

All things considered, the packages can both be great promotions for both Vegas locals and visitors looking for an affordable stay in the middle of the Vegas Strip. However, the hotel deal is less of a discount than it first appears since the main savings come from the dining credit rather than the room.  People might be disappointed to find out this deal does not apply to a hotel stay at Caesars’ luxury resorts, since the focus is clearly on boosting occupancy in their lower-end resorts as Vegas tourism has been down as a whole. 

That focus is part of a broader trend in Las Vegas right now. The city has seen a decline in visitation this year according to the LVCVA, with 2 million fewer visitors through July and a 5.1% average decrease in daily room rate. Casino operators are pushing glitzy ad campaigns and marketing “value” packages to bring tourists back -- this Caesars offer is part of the same wave of promotions.

Caesars’ more affordable resorts will have visitors nonetheless, so getting a deal in the middle of the strip along with a nice dining credit is an extra perk.  Pairing it with the spa package can turn a budget trip into something closer to a luxury getaway.
