FREE self AND valet parking, they are now my favorite place to play to stay and play.

When I stayed at Ceasars Palice I tried to only gamble at Ceasars properties. I put $1000 through them and with the exception of Flamingo, I lost my monet very quickly. I don't gamble at Ceasars properties now. I expect to loss money, but I felt robbed.

I use the pop slots type apps for MGM and have for many, many years. I use the rewards every time I go to Vegas.

One thing you didn't mention is Entertainment. MGM resorts completely dominate in this space. Which is just another reason that the competition is not even close. Caesars group have been steadily declining since Eldorado started trying to save money.

@@user-ly1zz2le2dThat’s good to know. My local casino is owned by Caesar and winning on the local slots has been getting tougher and tougher. Also slot machine break downs have been frequent for me, including waiting about an hour to get my ticket for $77.00 that was stuck in the machine. I talked to several employees as they passed by and the end result, no help. I finally called the casino cage and got help right away. The employee who got my ticket out blamed casino management.

I'm a Caesars Palace guy and yes its absolutely a luxury property. That being said I like both MGM and Caesars. Most people I know wouldnt care about apps to play games or non smoking areas. I'm 51 and a nonsmoker but I have been to vegas when smoking was the norm, doesnt bother me. Most of my time is spent at Caesars, Bellagio and Flamingo. Another well done video by Jacob doing his homework.

Solid video….While MGM is far from perfect I feel MGM has far better customer service, and doesn't funnel guests to kiosks to check in which is a deal breaker. Never once have I had a problem with MGM addressing my concerns at Vdara/ Aria. MGM also has better relationship with Amex FHR program which has amazing perks. That in itself is a win in my book.

Hello Jacob. Your recent Caesars vs. MGM posting is very informative. As a local, I’d like to see a comparison between Station casinos and Boyd Gaming. I’m certain you’ll have a large audience! Thank you. Michele Chong

Great Comparison! Keep up the good work. I'll add that i've found Ceasars is more generous with their room comps, but MGM is more generous with all other non-room comps. I much prefer MGM properties, but generally stay at Cesears because getting Diamond status is absolutely doable, while getting to MGM Gold status or above is nigh impossible for low-to-mid rollers like myself

Love the Intro Jacob. Clever. 🙂 I almost have 6 Million Points in MGM Slot Apps. for the most part JUNKY Offers. Yes once in a while you can snag some BOGO Buffets.

For me, it's MGM. They don't have all of the new slot machines I want to play, but I only play and dine at MGM properties to maximize my offers. I'm not a high roller or a fine diner. With a reasonable coin-in, I am able to stay mostly between Mandalay Bay and Bellagio and still have a fun filled 4-5 night Vegas vacation (plane, room, taxis, food, concerts, shows, pool, hockey, gambling) without breaking the bank, and find 95% of what I'd find north of Bellagio. Caesars has fallen hard, IMO. Their casinos are a shell of what they were in 2016, most notably Planet Hollywood. Only the Palace is still nice. I'd rather stay at Luxor than any other Caesars property. Oh, and good luck getting their credit card. I have excellent credit, and have only been denied by one company/bank ever for a card in 10 years: Caesars. Twice. It's not even close in my book.

I go to vegas fairly often and always stay at a Caesars property. I love the staff - their culture is friendly and proud of where they work and feeling good about their jobs. The range of restaurants. The quality of shows at their theaters. But I’m also not a huge fan of gambler. I’m an appreciated of good hotels with good service and good locations. But stay wherever makes you happy is what I say. You’re still in Vegas regardless so it’s not a bad day really. ☺️

I've been to Vegas countless times and I have never stayed at any of Caesars' properties. I stayed mostly at MGM properties like The Aria, Delano, Bellagio, Cosmo and Vdara. I also stayed non MGM and Caesars properties like Wynn/Encore, Resorts World and Fontaineblaeu.

Plus, they continue to remove their VP machines from all of their casinos and that's my game. Add to that they charge for valet and self parking and I was done with their nickel and diming me. The last straw was the hacking of my personal information and MGM not only not letting me know that my account was among those who were hacked until moths after it happened, but they never even offered an apology, let alone an offer to pay for my Lifelock account for a year. Yeah I'm done with the cold, calculated corporate suit culture and unwelcome atmosphere.

I understand, that they have to close the buffet. But, they closed Cafe Roma. Cafe Roma was AC's version of Cafe Americano. We would have lunch and breakfast there. Borgata has more restaurant choices, and we don't have to pay for valet parking.

Great video and research! My gf and I were in Vegas earlier this year, and we stayed at Luxor, and had bad customer service at check in, and the quality of Luxor was bad. Our flight was canceled, while we were sitting in front of Caesars, and needed to stay another night, and they were really great. Luxor was advertising King bedrooms available on their website the night we arrived, we had booked in advance a King bedroom, and when arriving they told us they didn't have any, and that they can change the booked room whenever and however they wanted. They eventually "found" one for us. We won't stay at Luxor again, based on your reviews, maybe Monterrey or Bellagio, or we'll go with Caesars again. We don't plan to go back for awhile though, have other places we want to go to first.

As a lifelong Caesars player, I just switched over to MGM. My coin-in is around $10M a year and they lost not just me but my friends that play as much as I do now play at Resorts World.

100% agreed on the MGM-affiliated free gaming apps! My wife had- over a couple of years of playing- earned enough loyalty coins to cash in on an offer for a free cruise aboard the Norwegian Encore (interior cabin). So not only did we cash in some of the loyalty coins on offers while in Vegas last Christmas, but we also scored a free, 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise for later this year. Disclosure: We did purchase an upgrade to an aft balcony, paying only the difference between the free interior cabin and said balcony.

Excellent video! I think MGM is the all-around better group in 2024. For me, this comes down to the customer service. MGM has eclipsed Caesars in this category, and it's really not a comparison right now. Caesars is clearly trying to cheap out, and it's showing. The one area that Caesars has MGM clearly beat is location.

Just stayed at Caesars Paris hotel. Nice, clean casino & room. Rooms need renovations as wallpaper is peeling off, and carpet is worn in some ares. BJ tables have been reduced (2 dedicated, 6-5 BJ payout). Good food choices, food quality. 7 of 10 overall.

Outside of that, I feel the Caesers properties are a little better maintained than MGM, comparing the mid/value hotels. Also, Caesers customer service is so good. I had a situation when visiting a couple years ago, and we were staying at PH. I had gotten in a fender bender right on Las Vegas Blvd. as we were literally just getting there, and some jackass tore my front bumper off. PH has literal angels working there. They took my bumper and held it for me until I figured out what to do with it. They were such a huge help, and just went above and beyond.

Caesar's doesn't give me free nights anymore, but I have free nights and credit at Aria and Bellagio so MGM is my preference for now.

I’ve been in Vegas for 2 days now. 1st session played 6 hours at Caesar’s Palace and lost $3200. 2nd session played 1 hours at Bellagio and won $2,400. Got back to Caesar’s and played 30 mins and lost $1,000. Progressive betting starting from .75 cents to $10 on Buffalo BONUS meter game. And when I finally hit the bonus at $10 bet, it paid 20X only. MGM is winning for me.

no way your mentioning this now lol i just found and got into my vegas xD

My wife and I usually go to Vegas twice a year. We choose to stay and gamble exclusively at Caesar's properties because their tier and reward point calculation system is transparent and very easy to understand. MGM intentionally making it impossible to determine how they calculate their points is a deal breaker for us. We will visit the Bellagio Conservatory and see some of their other sights, but we very rarely gamble or partake of any of the restaurants or shows.
