Caesars Entertainment runs a year-round military discount across its US resort and casino portfolio — Caesars Palace, Harrah’s, Bally’s, Horseshoe, Paris Las Vegas, Flamingo, Planet Hollywood, Rio, and more than fifty other properties. The discount is delivered through the brand’s “Salute” program, which authenticates active duty, veterans, retirees, Reserve and Guard members through ID.me and applies an exclusive military rate to room reservations booked on caesars.com.
Caesars military discount: what you actually get
The headline benefit is a discounted room rate — typically a fixed percentage below Caesars’ best available retail rate, with the exact number varying by property, room category, and season. Las Vegas Strip properties (Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Paris) historically run the steepest discounts mid-week and during shoulder season; regional properties (Atlantic City, New Orleans, Indiana) tend to publish a flatter year-round rate. Caesars also bundles non-room perks on many bookings: resort fee waivers, complimentary self-parking, dining credits at on-property restaurants, and discounted show tickets. The exact bundle is property-specific and posted on the booking page once you’re authenticated.
The Salute rate does not stack with promo codes, third-party booking discounts (Hotels.com, Expedia), or Caesars Rewards Tier credits — Caesars treats it as a closed-rate program. It does, however, earn Caesars Rewards Tier credits the same way a paid stay does, so a military-rate booking still moves you toward Diamond status.
Who qualifies for the Caesars military discount
- Active duty — all branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force), including Academy cadets and midshipmen
- National Guard and Reserve — currently serving members of any component
- Military retirees — including medically retired and disabled veterans
- Veterans with a DD-214 showing honorable discharge or general discharge under honorable conditions
- Military spouses — including surviving spouses of fallen service members (verified through Caesars’ Gold Star program when applicable)
- Department of Defense civilian employees — eligible at select properties; check the booking page for each location
Dependents under 21 do not need to verify separately — they’re covered under the verified service member’s reservation when added to the same booking.
How to verify and redeem (2026 step-by-step)
- Visit caesars.com/military or click the “Get this discount” button at the bottom of this page.
- Click “Verify with ID.me” — if you already have an ID.me account (used for VA.gov, Veterans Advantage, GovX, or many other DoD-linked services), sign in with those credentials. First-time users need to upload a military ID, DD-214, VA letter, or retiree card; verification typically completes within 5-10 minutes for active duty and 1-2 business days for veterans with document review.
- Once verified, ID.me redirects you back to Caesars with an authenticated session. Search for your destination, dates, and number of guests as normal — the military rate appears automatically alongside the standard rate on the room selection page.
- Select the military rate, complete booking, and bring a physical or digital copy of your military ID (CAC, VA card, DD-214, retiree ID) to check-in. Front desk staff verify ID matches the booking name; without it, the property is permitted to charge you the standard rate.
- If ID.me verification fails (mismatched name, expired document, military service not in DoD records), call Caesars Salute support at 1-866-PLAY-RGT and request manual verification — they accept email-submitted documents and can apply the rate post-verification.
- For group bookings of 10+ rooms (reunions, retirement events, military weddings), skip the online flow entirely and contact the property’s group sales team directly — they handle military verification in bulk and often unlock additional ballroom and catering discounts.
Pro tips before you check out
- Book mid-week for Las Vegas properties. The military rate discount is steepest Sunday-Thursday at Caesars Palace, Paris, and Planet Hollywood — weekend rates compress the gap with retail pricing.
- Caesars Rewards still applies. Link your Caesars Rewards account before booking — military-rate stays earn the same Tier Credits and Reward Credits as paid stays, which compound toward Diamond status and free comp nights.
- Check property-specific perks beyond the room rate. Some properties throw in free self-parking (Las Vegas Strip parking is otherwise $18-25/night), waived resort fees ($45/night savings at Caesars Palace), or dining credits at signature restaurants. These are posted on the booking page after you select dates — easy to miss if you book in a rush.
- If the military rate isn’t showing, clear your browser cookies, re-verify through ID.me, and search again. Caesars’ booking engine occasionally caches a non-authenticated session; a fresh login almost always surfaces the rate.
The Caesars Salute program is one of the more straightforward hospitality military discounts to redeem — ID.me handles the heavy lifting on verification, the rate is published transparently on the booking page, and the savings stack with Caesars Rewards tier progression. Discount terms last reviewed 2026; check the booking page for the current rate at your chosen property before confirming.
