And one more that you might not expect. I only found this out recently (someone told me...not one I got caught with!!). Alcohol must be locked away from the driver and passengers in a car. Locked glovebox or in the boot.

Unless it's unopened then it's ok in the body of the car.

I know that driving in the US seems like a scary idea but it is SO SO much easier than here.

As for turning right on a red light, it's just such a sensible idea...and if you forget, the people behind you will no doubt let you know...you'll get used to it.

And driving on the right is an obvious thing but I agree that sometimes it gets confusing...when we were driving to Orleans last trip it was dark...we took some back roads where the road markings had pretty much worn off and there were few street lights. Add that to the being used to driving on the left and I pretty much stopped in the middle of the road (no traffic around) and told my husband ' I have NO IDEA where I am supposed to be...tell me where to go please'.

I once got told that the easiest way to work out which side of the road to be on is that as the driver, you should always be in the middle of the road rather than at the edge - it works

Can someone who has redeemed myvegas vouchers help with this question please.I was looking at the rewards,and see it is 13000 LP for the MGM breakfast buffet.But it is 45500 LP for the two breakfast buffet voucher.
Call me stupid,but is it not better to just get the single buffet voucher for as many you need for your group.
There will be 3 of us,so it's better to get 3 x 13000 LP.....less than the total price of the two breakfast voucher.Or am I missing something here ?

Sounds good doesn't it but unfortunately they will be in your name and no-one else can use them. Vouchers are always checked and ID required.

So you're saying that if three of us want to eat free,you need to have an account each.Surely if I buy a 2 free breakfast buffet voucher,I don't need to both breakfasts,because it's my account.
What's the point of doing rewards for 2 if partners,sons daughters cannot use the other coupon.
My wife has a myvegas account,so no problem getting one using her account.But our daughter,who is not an adult yet,is coming with us,she can't join mlife so no point in her playing myvegas.
So I cannot buy 2 one free buffet voucher,and use one for her ?
Think that's daft.
What about a free room,there would be more than just me staying in it.

If it's "2 breakfasts for the price of 1". Then you can bring a guest to use the extra one.

However if you buy three lots of "1 free breakfast" then you have to use all three yourself.

I don't think one user could buy 3 single breakfasts...aren't they limited to one reward per user? I haven't looked at this one but most are...

The two buffets on one reward may be better 'value' for some people as it frees up an extra reward to use on something else...I assume that is why they have made them more expensive to redeem.

so if my husband and I can each use 3 MV rewards for our trip...depending on how many points we have - we may be able to get more for our points if we buy a 2-buffets deal...that only counts as one of our 6 redemptions...and leaves 5 available to use other points on...versus us each buying a one-buffet offer, then we each have only 2 more redemptions we can use that trip.

if that makes sense.

if you buy a 2-buffet voucher it has to be used on the same visit...you can't use one one time and another another time.

I was under the impression you could get 3 rewards per person,per month.
As long as they are used within 90 days of getting the reward.
We plan to go middle of May this next trip.So am I wrong to think I could actually get rewards ( providing I had enough points) end of February,March,April and start of May....So a total of 12 rewards,as long as they were all used within the 90 days.If my wife did the same,that's 24 rewards.
So I thought you could get one buffet ticket,one month,and another one another month.It seems from the replies so far each person can only get one reward i.e one mgm buffet reward.
I guess for all three of us to eat "free" at the mgm buffet,one of us gets the single reward,and the other gets the 2 free buffet voucher.

I think it's a 30-day period and since we normally go for 8-9 nights twice a year...that's 3 per trip each for us...so that's what I was trying to say.

I think for most of them it's a limited of 3 redemptions in a 30 day period...I don't think you can stack up a bunch of them in the run up to a two-week trip.

Ahh right I get it now,I thought you could purchase 3 per month.
You can actually only "use" 3 per person per 30 day period.
So between us we can get 6 rewards.....god I must sound thick not understanding that....I'm not thick honest,I'm really quite intelligent.:rotfl:
