There are a few things in life that make me say, “Hell, yes!” as fast as 4 free nights in the Bahamas.

I wrote about the details of how I did it, but in a nutshell:

I got free Caesars Diamond elite status from FoundersCard
Caesars has a partnership with Atlantis for Diamond members
The T&Cs say you must book your trip by January 31st, 2017 for travel by February 28th, 2017
I didn’t know if this benefit would return in 2017, so I went all-in

Booking was simple. I requested my dates (December 10th to 14th), booked a non-stop flight there from DFW to NAS with Avios points, and booked a flight back (with a connex at MIA) with American miles.

I was aflutter about the experience, how the benefit would play out, and what the room would be like. I am happy to report it was a wonderful trip.

Arrival and check-in

Link: Atlantis Beach Tower

The flight over was smooth. No time for the Centurion Lounge, but we did make it to an Admirals Club for coffee, light bits, and a couple of screwdrivers (thanks to my Citi Prestige card).

It was cloudy and drizzly when we landed, but cleared up soon after. As I walked to immigration (which only took about 20 minutes), I noticed adverts for the Atlantis everywhere.

The Atlantis is located on its own island – yeah – and has ton going on. But I’ll save that for Part 2.
