It was removed because restaurants on the property complained that Seven Stars used the lounge for free dining instead of using the restaurants. They got rid of it and turned it into the current 7 Stars and Diamond check in. Caesars Palace had a 7 Stars Lounge with a full time chef, TVs, computers, cocktail waitresses and servers and seating for about 20. The new business model in duopolies, which virtually every major industry is now and the ftc just doesn’t care (and we all pretend these duopolies aren’t a contributing factor to inflation) is to knowingly not meet customers expectations and not care, figuring there’s enough customer apathy or getting used to a new normal it doesn’t matter and they can squeeze out any threat of competition from a business that cares. We’ll see but I’m not sure it will work so well for some of them, there’s reasons a property like South Point that doesn’t follow the herd is packed no matter the day of the week while at the exact same time the M or Silverton not far away are ghost towns. They’re under the assumption it can continue that way forever, or going for the soft collusion duopoly thing between MGM/CET for the strip and Stations/Boyd in the locals market. I think there was enough pent up demand and free money flowing around when they reopened that they didn’t have to compete with each other or provide any value to players at all.
