Wait no, not that Empire. But, the empire of Glorious Caesars.

There’s a 10x TC multiplier going on at Horseshoe Black Hawk, which I plan to take advantage of on Saturday.

Good timing, because my current CET status is… nothing. No offers, no TCs, zilch. I don’t even know where my card is.

My Penn offers are still ok. I’ll be getting a free buffet for dinner, a complimentary bottle of Breckenridge Booze (this will mark the 7th bottle of gin/vodka/rum I’ve gotten from Ameristar now, that I just store until its time to give away gifts), $85 of freeplay today, $35 tomorrow, and an additional $50 of food credit. Oh, and a free hotel room!

But wait…

They’re sold out this weekend! Guess that means I’ll be sleeping in my car. Alternatively, I could drive home, then back in the morning. But that sounds dumb.

So, current plan is as follows:
Finish working for the day
Set up the car for camping
Drive to Ameristar
Play a bit
Eat buffet
Play more
Go find a camping spot
Sleep for the night
Breakfast at Ameristar, using one of the two $25 food credits
Redeem Ameristar freeplay, play a little bit.
Head to Horseshoe
Earn enough TC for Diamond in a Day
Eat lunch at Ameristar using the rest of the food credit
Consider if I want to go for Diamond Plus or not

My main goal is really just to get base Diamond, as I think that has the most value. Mainly, no resort fees. 1400 TC is all I need. I’m hoping I can jump on some video poker machines, but I know it’s gonna be packed.

And now, the pre-trip stats:
CET
Tier Credits: 0
Rewards Points: 0

Penn
Tier Credits: 9626
Rewards Points: $134.03 (Good for $134 of freeplay, or $268 of food)

Welcome to a trip report filled with 24ish hours of degeneracy. Black Hawk awaits.
