11 days here!

Shame about the MyVegas rewards. I will print all my redemption stuff before leaving. Thanks for the heads up.

48 days for me

So if I underatand correctly, for the buffet rewards you have to be at an MGM hotel, doesn't have to be that particular hotel (we are staying at The Sig).

We have 3 buffet rewards for Aug. one for the Aria.

I read it like you that you have stay at any MGM property but I cant see anywhere that it says they will honour pre existing purchases.
We are not staying at an MGM property

Photome, on Facebook they are saying you must print out the reward with the terms as they were when you got it. They will then honour that. Someone has reported that theirs was not honoured, but it was the first day of the change yesterday, so staff may have been over zealous. I'm keeping an eye on the conversations on Facebook and will post on here if I find anything relevant.

this is probably a silly question but can I assume that the restriction on redeeming MyVegas rewards for buffets unless you are staying at an MGM property means staying on that day and not staying a night in the week or so before or after? So if you were staying an an MGM property on Monday and moved on Wednesday, I assume that wouldn't count as good enough for redemption with the new restrictions.

Appreciate the heads up as we're within the 90 day window so may just go ahead and evaluate what we want and try to get them before it's too late. Shame we didn't deal with the Aria buffet earlier as we really like it and have a dinner and a lunch between us we could and would go for if it wasn't for this.

I believe that the NYNY is an MGM property, but do the new myVegas changes mean that I can only redeem NYNY buffets or can it be any buffet that's on there?

Aria is the only property with restrictions right now. If you are staying at ANY MGM property on the day you want to redeem the buffet reward, you will be fine. NYNY doesn't have a buffet as far as am aware.

Set the alarm for 8 to come down and select seats for October - not going direct to Vegas as we're visiting family before heading onto Vegas but still, were the first to select seats for our flight to Chicago.

pennylane99's tip about Virgin seating opening at 8am and not 60 days to the minute before scheduled departure is one my favourite tips from MSE.

Scoot city is on groupon "again".

There was a reason I havent booked before but cant remember what it is. It maybe that someone said I cant wear a hat, or am i imagining that.

No way could I be out in the sun for a few hours without one.

Can anyone confirm or am I making it up

EDIT
its ok I have found the t and c


hats only allowed when not moving, so its out then

I think the restriction on hats while moving is only because they are likely to blow off. I know that the guides wore bandanas on our tour. Would that be an option?

That would work
