I was chatting with some locals at the Diamond Lounge at Rio after I got knocked out of the poker tournament on my last trip to Las Vegas and they tipped me off that I could get my Grazie card upgraded at Venetian/Palazzo if I show them my Harrah’s Total Rewards Diamond card.
So, of course I upgraded my Grazie card from purple to gold, but it was a little late on the trip to have any real effect.
Unfortunately the upgrade is only for 3 months and my first impression was not good. I could not get a later checkout than normal and the room rates I was given were higher than I have ever seen.
There are quite a few perks with the gold card, but most important to me is access to the 24 hour Gold Club and 50% increase in points for play. Here are the extras you get with an upgrade.
• Guaranteed suite availability 72 hours prior to arrival
• Complimentary suite upgrade*
• Invited guest check-in
• Early check-in and noon late check-out*
• Complimentary shuttle bus service to and from the McCarran International Airport (limit 2 guests)
• Valet – Front-of-the-line priority service
• Venetian Gold Club Lounge access
• Slot Rewards points- Up to 50% more
• Priority Concierge phone line
• Priority show and restaurant reservations*
• Phantom – Receive $25 off Orchestra or Golden Circle-level seats
• 10% off select non-sale items at Venetian & Palazzo-owned retail shops**
◦ Venetian: Apothecary, Baccarat, Emporio D’Gondola, International News II, Mercato III, Newstand 2, Ricordo, Venezia, and Pool Shop
◦ Palazzo: Apothecary, Café Presse, La Fortuna, Prosecco, Seasons and Pool Shop
• Gondola Ride- 20% off tickets
• Canyon Ranch SpaClub ® – 10% discount on services**
• Azure – Complimentary entry for 2 (Thursday-Sunday)***
• Tao Beach – Daybed rental with $100 F&B purchase (Monday-Friday)*
• Tao Beach – Line pass and complimentary entry for 2 (Friday-Sunday)*
• Tao & LAVO Nightclubs – Line pass and complimentary entry for 2*
There is a lot of *stuff* given to gold card member, but most of it doesn’t interest me.
I have to get 10,000 points on my next trip to keep the status. I’m pretty sure I won’t, but it would be sweet if I did. They count cash spending 2-1 for points, so I’ll earn a few bucks drinking wine and eating steak, so ya never know!
Beyonce…kick it.

Actually,
if you are Grazie Gold you will get 20 points for each $1 charged to your room folio.
Points add up quite quickly for Gold Members on revenue folio charges.
BG, thanks for the info on the room charges. If that’s the fact, reaching 10K points should be easy.
Will I get that 20-1 even if I’m just visiting the casino for dinner and don’t have a room to charge to? I’ll look that up closer to my next trip.
