Has anyone used their Total Rewards points for free play?

Caesars has changed around its Total Rewards program and now "reward credits" can be redeemed for free play.

This is a new option. In the past reward credits were used to pay for hotel and meals and show tickets, and they could be used to purchase merchandise from the Total Rewards gift catalogue. I used Reward Credits to buy Shell gas cards, for example. I've also used reward credits to pay for merchandise bought in gift shops including clothing, electronics, colognes, gift items, etc.

Now there is the "free play" option.

Is any particular option better for you?
