    By the time I can redeem my 120000 loyalty points I'll only be able to swap them for a bottle of water from street vendor outside MGM!
  • I'm going to keep playing after our trip I think, not as intensely as I have been though. It would be brilliant if we could score a few free hotel nights for our next holiday :)

  • Ka tickets have gone back on tonight if anyone's interested - they've been on for over an hour and still not sold out. It states they need to be 'used' by 13 April but a guy on the Facebook friends page called and they confirmed you just need to redeem by then. Also there are some new Mandalay Bay rewards (bloomin 'expensive' though)

    Ha,ha at least you will have enough for that,I have only a quarter of your points!Just when I had enough points for two Craving buffet passes they change it all and now I only have enough for one.The thought of many more long hours playing MyVegas for really not much is beginning to really bug me.My OH is sick of seeing me just sat playing the same thing and I asked my son who works in an office if he would play for me in the day he actually said he wasnt enabling me,as if I had a serious gambling habit!!
  • Does anyone (maybe Secretmachines?) know whether you can charge stuff from other MGM hotels to your room at the Vdara? Never done it before but I understand if you play enough slots with your MLife card in the machine you might be able to get some food/drinks comped when you check out. Is this right? Sorry, I probably sound like a right clueless twonk!

    has anyone else joined up to Total Rewards social rewards programme yet? i've been doing it for a few weeks now and its another way to earn free stuff in TR hotels (paris/ caesers etc). You basically just tweet or post links from them on your twitter/ facebook page (you can do either or both) and if you have 'enough' followers or friends (from experience you need over 20 twitter followers but theres a facebook page for it where you can get receprocal follows with others to quicken it up) you can earn rewards which go onto your TR card and can be used for pretty much anything at any if the TR hotels.. Bit like MyVegas in that its time consuming but easy to do when your sitting doing nothing anyway. Anything that gets me free stuff in Vegas is a win for me!
    If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.

    You can definitely charge from other MGM to Vdara room.

    It was different this year to previously in that our Vdara room credit only applied in Vdara, Aria and in-room dining.

    Not sure about M-Life.

    New headliner at the Flamingo
    Olivia Newton-John will be commencing a mini-residency at the Flamingo sometime this summer, with tickets due to go on sale sometime in May.

    This will free up the schedule of headliners Donny & Marie, who've wanted more time to spend with their families and to take their act outside of Vegas.
