Flew Out On Jet Blue From Ny And Had The Best Flight One Could Have. We Arrived At Harrahs Around 10:15 Am And Checked In. I Requested A Room With A View And Was Given A Nice Clean Room, But With A View Of The Parking Garage. On The Harrahs Web Site, While Checking Out My Offers, I Had An Offer For 2 Free Tickets To The Scintas (an Excellent Show), So I Went To Total Rewards To Get My Voucher For The Tickets. For Some Reason, I Didn't Get The Physical Coupon In The Mail, And I Called Customer Relations In Advance And Was Told That The Tickets Would Be There For Me. They Insisted That Platinum Players Don't Get 2 Free Tickets, That They Get 2 For 1. I Still Have That Offer On My Computer Right Now. After Arguing With Them, I Decided I Didn't Want To Pay 2 For 1. About A Few Hours Later, They Were Handing Out Coupons For 2 For 1 Out There In Carnival Court. You Didn't Even Have To Have A Card To Get The 2 For 1. I Waited A Couple Of More Hours And There Was Another Person At Total Rewards Working. She Was A Former New Yorker And After About 15 Minutes, She Sent An Email To The Rio And Told Me To Get My Tickets The Next Day, Which I Finally Did. I Was Annoyed That They Mail You The Cash Back As I Expect To Get Over $100 Between Vegas And Tahoe Which We Were At From 10/5-10/8. Everybody That Uses Harrahs Should Write Them And Tell Threm That Cash Back For Tourists Living Over A 200 Mile Radius Should Be Same Day. Locals Under 200 Miles Should Get Mail Cash Back. It's Bad Enough That I Got Screwed Out Of $100 Birthday Gift From Harrahs, Atlantic City As I Was In Tahoe The Day It Was To Be Used And They Wouldn't Transfer The Money. I Asked Them Instead Of Transferring The Money To Add It To My Comp Account And They Wouldn't Do That Either. As Far As I'm Concerned Thier Total Rewards Stinks, Because When It Comes To Cash Earned, You Can't Use It In Any Other Of Their Casino's Except The One You Earned It In. Their Machines In Vegas Are Very Tight As They Are In Atlantic City, But They Are A Bit Looser In Lake Tahoe. We Saw Ann Margaret, Gordie Brown And The Scintas All Of Which Were Great Shows.the Show V Wasn't That Good (legends At The Imperial Palace Is Much Better Than V). We Ate At Dishes Buffet And The Rio Carnival Buffet, Magniloa's Downtown, Ellis Island, And The Chinese Restuarant At The Imperial Palace. All The Food We Had Wherever We Ate Was Excellent. The Harrahs Casino In Tahoe Is A Real Beauty. We Were Comped All 3 Nites There (only 2 In Vegas) And Had A Real Large Room With 2 Queen Size Beds, A 36 Inch Tv, A Very Large Desk And A Large Couch. The Room Had 2 Baths, One With A Tub And The Other With A Shower. Both Baths Had Tv,s And We Had A Good View Of The Lake. The Buffet In Harrahs Tahoe Was Very Good Compared To The Awful Harrahs Buffet In Vegas. (we Tried The Breakfast Buffet At Harrahs Vegas Once And Had Better At Denny's Next Store. We Didn't Try The Evening Buffet As Too Many People Said It Was Awful. We Did Spend A Day Looking At Houses Near Summerlin And Found A Couple In A Gated Community For One Person In The Household Being 55 Or Older.
