Why this website?

Although Seven Stars Insider has absolutely no connection or affiliation with Caesars Entertainment Inc. or Caesars Rewards®, it was created to provide much needed information about the Seven Stars program. Ask many Seven Stars cardholders and they will admit they most likely learned more about the program and its benefits from another Seven Stars cardholder.  Too many hosts and other employees are woefully under-educated about the program and its benefits. Since the site was launched, even several Caesars employees (who obviously wish to remain anonymous) claim they have learned more from this website than from Caesars itself. Seven Stars cardholders, as well as Caesars players in general, say they appreciate the objective opinions, tips and other information the site contains.  Even several travel agents who send many clients to Las Vegas (and other locations featured here) say they find value in the comments shared on the site. 

NOTE: Because much of the information about individual casinos (see left) comes from various sources, if anyone sees incorrect or out-of-date information, please email admin@sevenstarsinsider.com.

Seven Stars – The basics

Seven Stars is the highest tier level in Caesars Entertainment Inc.'s Caesars Rewards® program, requiring 150,000 or more tier credits in a calendar year.  The tier level was added in 2004.

Seven Stars is preceded by Diamond Elite, Diamond Plus, Diamond, Platinum and Gold. Diamond cardholders are required to earn 15,000 to 24,999 tier credits in a calendar year; Diamond Plus, 25,000 to 74,999, Diamond Elite, 75,000 to 149,999; Platinum, 5,000 to 14,999 tier credits; Gold is the entry-level card available to anyone eligible who signs up.  To view more information about Seven Stars, click here.

As an enhancement to encourage greater play during a "gaming day" (generally, 6 a.m. to 5:59 a.m. the next), Caesars Rewards offers Bonus Daily Tier Credits:

> Earn 500 Tier Credits, receive 125 Bonus Tier Credits

> Earn 1,000 Tier Credits, receive 1,000 Bonus Tier Credits

> Earn 2,500 Tier Credits, receive 5,000 Bonus Tier Credits

> Earn 5,000 Tier Credits, receive 10,000 Bonus Tier Credits

While tier credits are earned during a calendar year (Jan. 1 through Dec. 31), tier benefits are available Feb. 1 through Jan. 31 the following year.  [One exception is the Seven Stars Experiences (see below).]  Note, too, that a player earning Seven Stars status, say, in August 2023, would be eligible for all the Seven Stars benefits – including the Annual Retreat and Celebration Dinner(s) – through Jan. 31, 2024, plus all the Seven Stars benefits again through Jan. 31, 2025.

Just earning 150,000 tier credits in a calendar year does not automatically grant you Seven Stars status.  You must be invited to join!  Also, once you achieve 150,000 credits, it can take a couple weeks to get your credentials.  The reason for the delay is that Caesars checks to make sure you don't have any outstanding financial obligations to the company, and that you don't have any complaints for disruptive behavior.

Caesars marketing efforts to the contrary, Seven Stars cardholders who want the best treatment (at their tier level) are still better off staying and playing at one property, or, if applicable, at least one property in each of Caesars two major "hubs" – Atlantic City and Las Vegas. Those who travel a great deal and play at different Caesars properties around the country will find themselves besieged with offers from those properties after one visit – even though they may never intend, or have the opportunity, to visit them again. Meanwhile, special offers from casinos they may play at more frequently, slowly disappear.

Seven Stars Signature Experiences

Upon earning 250,000 tier credits, cardholders receive one Experience Credit.  For every additional 250,000 tier credits they earn through Dec. 31 they receive an additional Experience Credit.  These credits can be used to book one or more Signature Experiences.  All Experiences must be booked no later than Jan. 31 of the following year, and completed no later than June 30.  You cannot carry over credits from one year to the next or combine credits earned in different years.

Seven Stars Signature Events

Four Seven Stars Signature Events are scheduled to take place in 2023:

• Reno:  Thursday, October 5 to Sunday, October 8, 2023

• Las Vegas: Friday, October 27 to Sunday, October 29, 2023

• Atlantic City: Thursday, June 23 to Sunday, June 26, 2023

• Harrah's Gulf Coast: Thursday, November 7 to Sunday, November 12, 2023

All Seven Stars cardholders are invited to attend all four Events.

Cardholders who earned 500,000 or more tier credits are eligible for exclusive perks and experiences at each Signature Event.

Seven Stars Companion Card

At a minimum, among other benefits, the Seven Stars Companion Card entitles the designated individual (who does not need to be a player, but must register for a Caesars Rewards card) to Seven Stars/Diamond/VIP hotel check-in; jumping to the head of the line (behind any other Seven Stars cardholders already in line, of course) at restaurants, gift giveaways, etc.; and admittance to Laurel and Seven Stars Lounges – restrictions may apply, e.g., must be 21 or older in the United States, 19 or older in Canada.  Note, too, that the companion does not need to be a legally recognized spouse/same-sex partner, etc.; it can be any friend or relative.
