THE DIAMOND CASINO & RESORT GRAND OPENING - JULY 23RD

[JustHatched 12,123]

•  

 

Experience Excellence. The Diamond Casino & Resort opens for your enjoyment in the heart of Los Santos this Tuesday, July 23rd.

The massive construction project on the corner of Vinewood Park Drive and Mirror Park Boulevard is nearing completion, radically changing the skyline of Los Santos forever. When the brand-new Diamond Casino & Resort opens its doors, one and all are welcome inside to play, or just to stay in the most luxurious residence in the entire state. More than just a place to let go of your inhibitions and your sense of the passage of time, The Diamond is the one-stop destination for quality entertainment, high-end living and a range of experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

If you're looking to dive into the action, the casino floor has a selection of activities to enjoy. Play against the house using Chips in Three Card Poker, Blackjack and Roulette. Slot Machines with a variety of prizes are also at your fingertips, while Inside Track offers a lounge to watch and cheer along with friends as the drama of virtual horse racing unfolds. Spin the Lucky Wheel in the lobby for chips, cash, and clothing or even the new Truffade Thrax supercar that can be found whirling on the podium during opening week. And be sure to check back each week to see what new high-end vehicle can be won. Check Rockstar Support for details and limitations.

Guests looking to push the limits of high-end resort fashion can also choose from the carefully curated rotation of new clothing and accessories in the Casino Store.

Sitting atop The Diamond is an oasis of luxury for those shopping for a lavish pied-à-terre or just a feature-laden property in which to entertain friends. The Master Penthouse that sits beside the Roof Terrace with infinity pool and stunning views entitles the owner to VIP Membership status including access to VIP Lounges, High-Limit tables, plus a range of special services via the Penthouse phone including aircraft and limousine services and more. Renovate your residence with several upgradeable floorplans including a private Spa with a round-the-clock personal stylist, a Bar and Party area perfect for hosting raging Member Parties and featuring private retro arcade games, and a Media Room to enjoy games of Don’t Cross the Line and contemporary Vinewood cinema like Meltdown and The Loneliest Robot In Great Britain. As an owner, you can select the Penthouse’s color palette and patterns, and cement a place among the LS nouveau riche with a range of modern art from the Casino Store – from refined portraiture to pop art and daring modern sculpture – that can all be moved and placed around your property.

With a Master Penthouse you’ll also become a member of The Diamond family, and the family business needs your attention. Help property owner Tao Cheng and The Diamond staff protect their investment from the clutches of a corrupt family of Texan petrochemical magnates in a series of all new co-operative missions. Each mission pays out special Awards for first-time completion and hosting the entire story thread will reward you with a highly coveted, brand-new vehicle free of charge. You can also pickup additional work and odd jobs to earn extra cash and chips with a quick phone call to the Diamond’s head of operations, Agatha Baker.

As part of the Rockstar Games Social Club x Twitch Prime Benefits program, all GTA Online players who link their Social Club account with Twitch Prime and claim their Twitch Prime benefits by the end of day on July 19th will be able to purchase the Master Penthouse for free in the Diamond Casino & Resort, as well as receive GTA$1.25M and up to 15% extra GTA$ on purchases of Shark Cash Cards.

Visit Twitch Prime and sign up to receive these perks and more coming soon, and visit the Social Club Events page to keep up with all special events, bonuses, and more in GTA Online.

Visit thediamondcasinoandresort.com to see more details on what The Diamond has to offer, including Penthouse comforts, membership perks, and so much more.

We're also extending last week's bonuses through July 24th, so make the most of your time on the Stunt track – or contract as a Bodyguard/Associate on lucrative Business Battles, VIP Work, Sell Missions and more – and we'll see you at the grand opening.

new clothes and slot machines.. ugh, need to go make money the next few days..

[Spinnaker1981 974]

So 2 weeks of everyone back in GTA and then it will be the same again? ?

[LimeGreenLegend 4,275]

Play against the house, not other people?  Naaaaaahhhhhhhhh

I will buy all the clothes though.

[Con 5,719]

I just want the penthouse luxuries. I like this picture the most. 

 

[Fido_le_muet 5,198]

Fucking Twitch Prime stuff. 

I love how they redesigned the casino though and looks like the adjacent parking lot is new as well.

Yeah this instantly killed what little interest I had in the DLC.  

I’d love to get online for some fun social card gaming with friends, sadly it looks like RDR will be keeping the monopoly on multiplayer poker. I’ll log in, get the freebies and then go back to not playing GTA. 

I’m just not interested in driving around grinding the same combat based missions. 

[Sinister 2,583]

Wonder what the reasoning is for keeping people from playing cards together? If it’s to make folks go to RDO for it I’m not taking the bait. Oh well, cannot count it all out without seeing it first unlike the majority of the world.

Pretty much. Yachts version 7 will be popular through the first weekend. After that most of the crew will go back to their regular games.

I will still be racing and waiting for that wreckfest game. 

[DavidCore89 7,404]

Playing against the house is not great news.

Hope that doesn’t break all the races that go through this area.

Overall not very excited for this update. None of the cars shown so far hold any interest, no planes or boats shown, I don’t care for gambling and I don’t need more ways to drink virtual champagne. I do hope the new co-op missions are fun and there are some decent clothes for my female character. 

[JustHatched 12,123]

I do think we will see my wife returning to GTA to play slots

[Lann 10,846]

I look forward to the garage and any new cars. I might need to re-organize the mess that the Arena War Garage and the SRL cars made.

Poker, like in RDR2 is the only real gambling game you would expect to play "against" your friends.  Just about all casino games you play against the house.  But if we can play "with" our friends while we play Three Card Poker, Blackjack, and Roulette against the house that will be really fun.  Looks like you might be able to bet on horses as well?  We will just have to wait and see.  I think the idea of me and 5 other friends/crew all at the same BJ table gambling sounds fun.  Hopefully you aren't alone when playing.

Will make the playlist lobby waiting around fun!!! 

[Lann 10,846]

@Hatch everytime i open this thread the pc starts playing that video and sound, really annoying, intended or some detail om my end? 

[Sinister 2,583]

Perhaps the room they mention having “high stakes” games, is the PvP Poker.

INTRODUCING THE DIAMOND PROGRAM

SPECIAL REWARDS AT THE DIAMOND CASINO & RESORT

 

• 

On July 23rd, The Diamond Casino & Resort will open its doors and become the premiere destination for entertainment and luxury living in Los Santos. To celebrate the grand opening, The Diamond Program will take VIP Membership status to a new level of self-importance with an assortment of perks and rewards. The velvet rope lifts starting July 23rd, participate in the action before August 7th to take advantage of everything The Diamond Program has to offer. 

Acquiring a Master Penthouse (or redeeming for free with Twitch Prime) grants Silver Status. In addition to the VIP Membership that comes standard with the Penthouse, Silver Status members will receive the exclusive “She’s Loaded” Wall Art, a modern piece to hang on the wall of your choice using the Penthouse’s Decorations Management feature. Silver Status members will also get casino themed the Diamond Classic Tee.

 

Silver Status members who help Tao Cheng protect The Diamond from a corrupt family of Texan magnates can complete the second co-operative mission, “House Keeping”, to be upgraded to Gold Status, which unlocks an exclusive livery for the new Truffade Thrax plus a Truffade Tee to match.

 

Platinum Status membership is a title that’s earned through dirty work. Complete 5 Casino Work Missions for head of operations Agatha Baker (and pick up a tidy sum of GTA$ and Chips along the way) to receive the Lucky 7s Tattoo and the Casino Store’s special accessory, the Kronos Ära Watch (including all variations), a truly luxe timepiece. After completing the first co-operative mission, simply call Ms. Baker to pick up work around the city.

 

Diamond Status is reserved for all Platinum members who go the long haul. Complete all co-operative missions to earn exclusive liveries. Platinum members who host the missions will receive an exclusive livery for a highly coveted brand-new vehicle. Platinum members who participate in a host’s missions will receive an exclusive livery for the new Annis S80RRsupercar. Work together to host and participate in the complete mission strand to unlock both.

 

All of the Diamond Program rewards detailed above will be granted between August 8th - 13th.

And don’t forget, you can get the Master Penthouse with Social Club x Twitch Prime Benefits and hit Silver Status in The Diamond Program. There are two ways for players that link their accounts and claim their benefits to get free access.

If you have completed your sign up and the Master Penthouse isn’t showing as free, you can purchase the Master Penthouse and you’ll receive a rebate for the price of the base Master Penthouse within 48 hours. Otherwise, the price should list as ‘free’ for all active Twitch Prime members in good standing as of July 28th on August 1st, so long as you remain an active Prime member. 

Keep an eye on the Newswire for more details around the grand opening of The Diamond Casino & Resort, including info on future Diamond Program perks and weekly awards.

Tomorrow is the only day this week I have no customer or internal company web meetings.  Working from home will be useful tomorrow!

[Guest]

I'm excited about the co-op missions although I don't have millions to splurge on other things tomorrow.

[Lann 10,846]

Finally got my excel with the garages and cars ready, time to sort it out depending what we might get tomorrow as far as garages. 

As far as makes Declasse and Vapid are on top, they might both soon get their own Office garage (20) as they are at about 15 each now. I hope we get at least another 3*10. 

[Sinister 2,583]

Nice. Can’t wait to play some new missions.
