No more hot food at Diamond Lounges?
With the closing of the 7 Star Lounge at Caesars Palace, there's been some talk about the downgrading of the Diamond lounges at Harrah's properties.
Diamond lounges are open to Diamond players, who are players earning 11,000 in base points in a calendar year (each point is equivalent to $5 in playthrough on slots).
The rumor is that hot food has been removed from all Diamond lounges in Las Vegas to match other like lounges in the midwest.
We wanted to check to be sure and stopped by Harrah's last Saturday.
We were there in the evening, and while we saw no traces of hot food, there were chips, salsa, cookies, and other snacks that seemed to corroborate what people in the message boards have been saying.
We spoke with a Harrah's host and were told that hot food is still being served, but just between 4 to 6 p.m. We were also shown a menu that listed the different hot food that would be set out over the next week.
Of course, the bar was as full as ever, and mudslides were still freely flowing.
So the rumors of the death of hot food has been exaggerated. As long as you're there between 4 and 6 p.m.
