LAS VEGAS, Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --The perks of using the Total Rewards® Visa® just became even better for Las Vegas visitors. Members of the Total Rewards loyalty program who use the newly-updated Total Rewards Visa card will now receive even more benefits in 2015.

Total Rewards, the award-winning casino loyalty program by Caesars Entertainment, is at the forefront of the casino-entertainment industry with its co-branded Visa card program.    

"We're constantly reviewing our Total Rewards program to find new ways to bring our members even better rewards," said Joshua Kanter, senior vice president of the Total Rewards Visa program. "We've challenged ourselves to create the most unique co-branded card with the best benefits for Las Vegas enthusiasts, and the Total Rewards Visa is just that."

New benefits make Total Rewards Visa the card for Vegas VIPs and Travelers

Since its debut in 1998, the Total Rewards Visa offers guests great rewards and unmatched Vegas experiences. After being approved, guests can start earning benefits such as:

  • Automatic upgrade to Total Rewards Platinum tier status**
  • 5X Rewards Credits for every $1 spent at Total Rewards destinations including hotel stays, gaming, dining, concert tickets and more
  • 2X earning on air travel, restaurants and gas
  • Total Rewards Visa Signature cardholders are also eligible for a 6-month free trial of CLEAR, which expedites security for approved travelers at Las Vegas and nine other CLEAR-enabled airports

"Caesars really understands entertainment seekers and travelers, and through the Total Rewards program Caesars created a card which offers unrivaled travel and entertainment benefits," said Deb Decker, chief client officer of Alliance Data Retail Services, which manages the card program for Caesars Entertainment and Total Rewards.

The fast track to the VIP Line

The Total Rewards Visa also enables cardholders to experience Las Vegas as a VIP. Cardholders who spend more than $10,000 in 2015 will receive a 2015 VIP Access Pass for owned or managed Caesars Entertainment Las Vegas resorts. The 2015 Access Pass benefits include: 

  • VIP check-in at all Las Vegas Total Rewards resorts
  • Complimentary early check-in and late check-out
  • Access to VIP entrances of restaurants, entertainment venues, taxi lines and more
  • VIP access to nightclubs and pools

"The VIP Access Pass offers another reason for our loyal customers to visit the nine Total Rewards resorts in Las Vegas. We believe this will bring even more travelers to Las Vegas in the coming year," said Kanter.

How to Apply and Pick Up Your New Total Rewards Visa Right at Caesars Palace

We are really excited to be the first casino to offer this type of service," adds Kanter.
