I would rather earn DiaD where the expected cost is less than Vegas (currently, if my math is right, about $775 unless I wanted to spend 20 hours at the Rio at the $1 single play Bonus Poker machine.) By a weird confluence of circumstances, I may have the opportunity within the next month to earn it either in North Carolina, or Lake Tahoe, or (of course) Southern California. Unusual, because I don't travel much nationally.
BUT. . .if any room comps that may follow in the wake of earning DiaD are market-specific, then I guess I'd really need to earn it in Vegas since that is where I'm really hoping for comps. I understand that DiaD perks and comps are not the same thing, with the latter being based on ADT, etc.. . .but it's my understanding from some folks that being Diamond I might certainly have the avilability of some midweek room comps in Vegas if I earn it there.
Any thoughts from people with more experience at this would be greatly welcome, especially since I need to make my travel plans soon! Thanks!
