The Diamond Casino & Resort is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online, released on July 23rd, 2019.

Description
"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."

- Rockstar Newswire. The update introduces The Diamond Casino & Resort, a newly-opened business located in East Vinewood where the original Vinewood Casino was found. The casino features an exclusive penthouse, casino floor, and garage storage.

The Diamond Program
"On July 23rd, The Diamond Casino & Resort will open its doors and become the premier 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."

- Rockstar Newswire

The Diamond program was introduced primarily to reward players for purchasing the Master Penthouse and playing the Casino Missions and Work. There are four different tiers - silver, gold, platinum, and diamond, each having more benefits than the last.

Properties
"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."
