The Forum Tower is still not terrible where a low end room is concerned compared to the other CET props. A low end room at any other CET prop is very low end. Forum Tower is not a catastrophic event at all. Macker is right on Octavius. In April it was easier for me to get an Octavius upgrade than an Augustus. It is standard fare to offer those auto upgrades to Diamond card holders. Not sure where you're at on the CET ladder. It is a bit of a hike to Octavius but on the other hand your elevator practically drops you off at the pool. The walk to the strip really isn't that bad. I have a room locked up at Caesars for September and October at the moment so there's the proof that I am a fan.

 

I recently booked a comp in the Roman tower. Tipped 20 at checkin and told them I was willing to wait for a good room. Got Octavius with a pool view like 3 floors from the top. Great room
