I can understand some of your frustration, however, Caesars is in the process of remodeling their casino floor, and adding new restaurants. etc So when construction and upgrading of this nature is underway, the atmosphere can be an unfriendly eyesore.

I visited last week, and stayed in a newly renovated Centurion tower ocean view room and was mildly impressed - that's not an easy thing to do.

Unfortunately , you elected to stay in the forum tower. Advice by many poster's, including myself, is to avoid this tower - I personally would not stay in one of those rooms if you paid me.

So if you do venture over to the Trop in the near future, It is often suggested on this board to avoid the West and Chelsea tower rooms, - or else you may be posting a negative comment abt these rooms.

It seems that you at least had some fun on this trip

Better luck next time. with your room

Thanks for the Trip Report, always good to get some current information.

We were put into a windowless Forum Tower comp room about 4 years ago, we went back down and asked for a change. We ended up getting a corner room overlooking the sculpture of the 4 horses along Pacific Ave. The rooms had been recently renovated back then.

I'm not a fan of Caesars due to the lack of dining options, but you solved that one by visiting Docks Oyster House, one of my faves. It's tough getting a bar stool, but if you show up without a reservation in the future, you can grab a cocktail and wait a bit for a barstool to open up and eat at the bar.

Caesars Corporate is investing about $400 million in AC, the previous regime let the property decline along with Bally's next door. When CET was acquired by Eldorado, it had to give up an AC property, so Bally's was sold off for a mere $25 million. One of the reasons for the low price was the lack of investment in the property.

Thanks for the report, we always stay in the Centurion Tower (pre reno), never had a bad room. Hope to be there in July/Aug. Will have to check out Dock's, thanks :)

The hotel room was the least of my concerns - we barely spent any time in there aside from showering and sleeping. But if I were staying longer than 1 night I'd probably look into a different tower.

However the rest of the property was sorely lacking, and I'm not sure that the minimal construction will be enough. Seems like this summer will be a loss since I doubt they wrap everything up in a couple of months.

Thanks for the report -

thanks for sharing your trip report... sounds like you had a fun trip and made the most of your time --- spending time on the beach, dinner at Docks', some gambling.... walk away with a win. Very nice!
