Most vets will never use this. Not because it's hard. Because they won't follow 6 simple steps.
Here's the play:
Step 1. Sign up for Caesars Rewards. Free. Takes 2 minutes online.
Step 2. Walk into a U.S. Caesars property in person. This part is non-negotiable — there's no online verification. Bring your military ID, DD214, or VA card.
Step 3. Ask for the Salute Card at the Caesars Rewards Center. They verify, and you walk out with it.
Step 4. You're now auto-upgraded to Platinum status. That's the key that unlocks Atlantis.
Step 5. Call Atlantis Casino VIP Services: 888-877-7592
Tell them: "I'm a Caesars Rewards Platinum member through the Salute Card. I want to book my complimentary Atlantis stay."
Step 6. Pick your dates smart. The 4 fully-complimentary months are January, May, September, and October. Avoid March, April, and June — those are "stay 2, get 2 free," not fully comped. Blackout dates apply, so book early.
What you get: Up to 4 free nights at The Coral Tower. One time per year.
What you still pay: Flights. Food. Resort fees (~$65/night). Housekeeping gratuities. Anything you charge to the room.
You're not showing up broke and living like a king for free. Budget $400-500 for the fees alone before you spend a dollar on food, drinks, or the casino.
Backup if comp nights aren't available:
- Atlantis direct: up to 25% off for military
- Caesars properties (Vegas, AC, etc.): up to 40% off via ID.me verification
This is the kind of move most vets will never make. Not because it's complicated. Because they won't drive to a Caesars property to get the card.
The system rewards execution. Always has.
