Thanks for posting, as this will help a lot of people who want to try Caesars/Total Rewards.
Whenever I go to a new casino I have a habit of asking if they will match the status of other casinos. Only one casino has ever matched my Seven Stars at Caesars -- and that was the Pauma casino in San Diego County. It matched my Seven Stars with their highest level but only for four months.
Recently I signed up for players cards at Sams Town and Arizona Charlies and the Fortune Casino in Vegas and none would match a Seven Stars or even offer an upgrade. I even asked at the various bars in Vegas that are members of a multi-bar loyalty card system and the answer was also "no."
Perhaps this move by Caesars will open the door with other casino companies?
