'Caesars Windsor' was previously 'Casino Windsor' with old decor, machines, and carpeting. Since it's renovation and buy-out as Harrah's property, it is better kept and more accommodating to (Total Rewards) members. We visit often due to the awesome shows they have just across the river.

Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada is one of four casinos in the Detroit–Windsor area. Owned by the government of the province of Ontario (through the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation), it is operated by Caesars Entertainment. Both the original Casino Windsor and the new expansion were designed by WZMH Architects.^[1] The casino is located on Windsor's riverfront overlooking the Detroit skyline near the Canadian end of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. The creation of this casino was a leading factor in the legalization of casino gambling in Detroit.

The 'Forum' hotel tower stands at 23 stories tall and opened in 1998. The 'Augustus' tower stands at 27 stories and opened in 2008. Caesars Windsor attracts about six million visitors annually.^[2] Its main competitors are MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino, and Greektown Casino-Hotel in Detroit. Caesars Windsor attracts people from Ontario, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other states in the Midwestern United States.

Management[edit]

The Casino is publicly owned by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation; a large portion of the profits are returned to the provincial government.

In December 2006, Harrah's announced that it would change the name of the casino to Caesars Windsor. The name switch coincided with a number of other significant changes, including a new 27-story hotel (the 'Augustus Tower'^[3]), a 5,000 seat entertainment centre, and 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²) of convention space.

The changes were necessary to make the casino more desirable to U.S. gamblers. For a variety of reasons: 9/11 border security, closing of the exchange rate gap, a labour strike that closed the casino for a month in 2004, the popularity of the three Detroit properties, and provincial smoking ban, Caesars Windsor has failed to maintain its customer base from its peak years in the late 1990s. Before September 11, 2001, it was the most popular casino in the Detroit market. Efforts were made to make it a destination resort for tourists, and to reward clients of the Caesars brand, a high-end name in gaming. Caesars Windsor reopened on June 19, 2008, and featured pianistBilly Joel, who performed at the relaunch ceremonies to an invitation-only crowd.^[4]

The hotel effectively closed on April 6, 2018 due to ongoing worker's strikes which led to reservation and concert cancellations.^[5] The strike concluded with a ratification vote on June 4, 2018 with Caesars Windsor re-opening on June 7, 2018.^[6]

History[edit]

In 1993, the Ontario government selected a joint venture of Caesars World, Circus Circus Enterprises, and Hilton Hotels to build and operate a province-owned casino.^[7]

Casino Windsor opened in a temporary location in May 1994 as Ontario's first casino. The former Art Gallery of Windsor located on Riverside Drive was refitted to house the interim casino. The casino saw record numbers, attracting millions of customers from the U.S. and Canada. Line-ups wrapped around the building. In response, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation announced it would bring a riverboat casino to the riverfront. The Northern Belle was located at the foot of Ouellette Ave. on the Detroit River. It was open from December 1995 to July 1998.

During this time, the permanent casino was under construction on the former Windsor Market site, a few blocks east of the temporary casino. It opened on July 29, 1998,^[8] with a grand opening celebration with a James Bond 007 theme. Daisy Fuentes and Regis Philbin were among the stars that attended. The new site included a waterfall and tropical entrance, hotel, five restaurants, gift shops and an entertainment lounge.

In February 2005, representatives from the Ontario Government, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, and the executive team announced a $400 million expansion project which was completed in June 2008. It added a convention centre, a 5,000-seat entertainment centre, and another hotel tower. Renovations also began at the current facility, adding bars, a large buffet, and repositioning many of the slots and table games. The official relaunch happened on June 19, 2008.^[9]

In 2006, the first licensed sports book in Canada was opened in the casino at Legends Sports Bar. Players can bet on select professional and college sports through Game Picks sports wagering. The venue is designed with booths and large high-definition televisions above the gaming boards as well as in a theatre style seating section. Unlike in Las Vegas, players are not allowed wager on single sporting events at the sports book - the reason for this is that single-sports wagering remains explicitly prohibited in the Criminal Code).

Effective May 31, 2006, Casino Windsor became one of the first smoke-free commercial casinos in North America. This was to comply with the Smoke Free Ontario Act, which bans smoking in all enclosed workplaces and public places.

Business climate[edit]

Caesars Windsor Total Rewards Offers

Initially, the US-Canadian currencyexchange rate had given people from the United States an economic incentive to gamble at Caesars Windsor. The exchange rate was a major contributor to U.S. gamblers crossing the border in Casino Windsor's boom years of the late 1990s. The Canadian dollar was trading below the sixty-five-cent mark^[10] compared to the U.S. dollar in the late 1990s, giving U.S. visitors a price incentive to gamble in Windsor as well as spend in the city's hotels and hospitality establishments. The rebounding of the Canadian dollar, in 2006 breaking the ninety-cent mark, which is often linked to the higher price of oil, since Canada is an oil exporting nation, has negatively impacted the casino and the Windsor tourist trade, especially when the added sales taxes are factored into decisions. Nevertheless, because the Canadian government does not tax gambling winnings, the casino often promotes this in order to draw clientele from the United States who are left to themselves to declare taxes on their winnings.

In 2007, the Canadian dollar eclipsed and even exceeded the U.S. dollar by several cents, which has added to the decline of the Windsor, Ontario hospitality sector. The casino must compete with three Detroit casino resorts which opened expanded resort-style properties in 2008. The positive exchange rate for Canadians has drawn them across the border to shop and gamble.

Caesars Rewards (Europe/North Africa: Player Rewards^[1] and South Africa: Emerald Rewards^[2]; formerly Total Gold and Total Rewards) is a casino loyalty program at nearly all Caesars Entertainment Corporation (formerly Harrah's Entertainment) locations.

• 1History

History[edit]

The program began as Total Gold on September 4, 1997,^[3] then renamed as Total Rewards on April 4, 2000^[4] and again as Caesars Rewards on February 1, 2019.^[5]

In 2005, after Harrah's Entertainment bought Caesars Entertainment, Inc., Harrah's announced that the 'Connection Card' program (Caesars' loyalty program) would be merged into the Total Rewards program; transferring former Caesars properties from the Connection Card loyalty program to the Total Rewards program began in December 2005 with the Flamingo Las Vegas and was completed in May 2006. Members earn both Reward Credits and Tier Credits based on hotel stay, shopping, play at slot machines, table games, and more; Reward Credits may be used towards dining, merchandise, and other items, while Tier Credits are used to determine annual Tier Score.

Accumulating Credits[edit]

Caesars Rewards is a credit-based loyalty system. The credits can be accumulated to comp any service, from a hotel room to a round of golf.

A guest may accumulate rewards credits at any Caesars property, whether it is by slots, table games or poker (if available). The rate of accumulation is for every $5 spent on a reel slot machine (the traditional slot machine), a credit is earned. For every $10 spent on a video poker machine, a credit is earned. Table games (blackjack, poker, baccarat, etc.) are accumulated differently. The rate is based upon length of play, average bet, and type of game. Also, credits may be accumulated through the Caesars Rewards Visa credit card, issued by Comenity Bank.^[7] For every $1 spent, 1 credit is earned.^[7] However Caesars Rewards credit card charges do not count to tier status. Credit card charges allow the customer to earn one Reward Credit for every $1.00 in purchases and keeps their Reward Credit balance active as long as it is used at least once every 6 months. The Reward Credits added to one's Reward Credit balance do not count towards Tier Score or Tier Status. Also, Caesars Rewards Social program issues rewards points for online game play, based on what is paid for credits. (There are no cash winnings, only credits to allow play).

Using credits[edit]

100 rewards credits is equal to $1 of value in comps (short for 'complimentaries'). For example, if a player has 10,000 rewards credits, he or she can use them to get $100 in comped drinks or towards a room.

Comping using reward credits is dollar for dollar, meaning if the value of the item the guest wants to comp is $20, they'll need $20 in reward credits in order to fully comp the item. If they do not have enough credits, they can partially comp it.

For tier credits, $5 is equal to 1 tier credit on Slot Machines, $10 to 1 tier credit on Video Poker. Table games are rated by supervisors.

Tiers[edit]

• Gold – The entry level card that is free to all 21 years or older.^[8]
• Platinum – Higher tier requiring 5,000 tier credits earned in a calendar year. (Raised from 4,000 tier credits earned in a calendar year in 2012).^[9] This level is given to members who qualify for the military/veterans Salute card.^[10]
• Diamond – Higher tier requiring 15,000 tier credits earned in a calendar year. (Raised from 11,000 tier credits earned in a calendar year in 2012). As of 2018 even more credits will be required for even basic benefits, Diamond Lounge = 25,000 credits to use.
• Seven Stars – The highest tier, requiring 150,000 tier credits. Members are not automatically enrolled as they must be invited by their casino host. Some qualifications, aside from tier credits, include not having any outstanding markers (credit), and not being a security issue at any Caesars property. Guests at this level are the priority for all casino workers. Seven Star guests are provided with priority lines and first available service at participating Caesars properties. Seven Stars members are also entitled to up to four nights complimentary at any Caesars property, given at least 48 hours notice is provided. Also, Seven Stars receive 25% off spa services, and complimentary entry into spas and health clubs at most properties. They also receive a discount at gift shops. These guests are also entitled to one free trip to any Caesars property per year. Included is complimentary airfare for 2, up to $1200 total, hotel stay, and transfers from the airport to the property. A credit of $500 is also applied to the guest folio for this trip and can be used for food, spa services, and in house purchases. Seven Stars guests also receive a complimentary annual cruise on NCL. All Seven Stars guests are entitled to complimentary hotel stays at any Caesars property. Complementary media services vary from property to property but typically include free internet and 2 movies per day. Seven stars guests are entitled to 5, $100 vouchers for 'celebration dinners', These vouchers can be used individually or combined and can be used at many (but not all) on property restaurants. Finally, all Seven Star members are eligible to have one companion member per year. These companion members are entitled to the same priority treatment as a regular Seven Star guest but do not receive the trips or vouchers.
• Chairman – This level was created for Terrance Watanabe, superseding even the Seven Star rank. Perks of this level included 'tickets to the Rolling Stones, $12,500 a month for airfare and $500,000 in credit at the gift stores. Harrah's also offered 15% cash back on table losses greater than $500,000, special high-limit games and other incentives.' ^[11] It is unclear whether or not any other Chairman-level player is likely to emerge, for Watanabe's levels of play, resulting in a $189 million loss^[12] at CET properties is unlikely to be approached by other gamblers.

Caesars Windsor[edit]

Caesars Windsor (formerly Casino Windsor) converted uses Caesars Rewards cards. However, as the minimum legal gambling age in Canada is 19 (18 In Québec Province and Alberta), as opposed to 21 in the United States, Caesars has taken some precautionary measures to ensure no one under the age of 21 attempts to gamble at a US Caesars property. At Caesars Windsor, the tiers and benefits are the same at any other property, regardless of the guest's age. However, guests over the age of 19 but not yet 21 are issued cards with a special red bar, to alert employees on the casino floor if they see anyone with these cards attempting to gamble in the United States. These patrons will also receive direct mail offers from Caesars Windsor, but not from any other Caesars property where they cannot be legally redeemed. Once the guest turns 21, they may be issued a Caesars Rewards card without the red bar.

Charter airline service[edit]

In May 2013, Total Rewards started offering charter airline service from various airports across the United States to Laughlin, Nevada and Reno, Nevada,^[13]Atlantic City, New Jersey,^[14]Tunica, Mississippi,^[15] and Biloxi, Mississippi.^[16]
