Anyone know if MyVegas MGM 2 breakfast buffet reward is redeemable Sat/Sun. The reward page suggests it is but the email states:

is it brunch instead of breakfast at the weekend? Some places it is...just checked the website and it is brunch at the weekend so I don't think the MV breakfast would cover it.

Do you mind if I ask where you got the $5 off voucher? Just wondering if these are readily available. I'm hoping to try the buffet, will probably be using Total Rewards points (from Social Rewards). A further discount will help make my points go further though

Using SR points is also going to be my strategy...have read some of the comments to hubby and he may be waivering. It may depend on how many buffets we have had/have coming up but I may just sneak it in there by declaring I will use my points for it.

We are planning on using SR points for it too. Tony is keen to try it out, and it's making him do the SR thing instead of leaving it to me to do both of our accounts. He's thinking either paying for breakfast and staying for lunch or paying for lunch and staying for dinner.

We could do it together, what do you think? I have a few other suggestions on places to meet, but this just popped in my head.

I think it was in a coupon book when we stayed at harrahs, apologies but I dont think it is readily available

Have a great trip, photome! very excited for you.

pebbles - that may be an option to consider...will see how far I get in convincing hubby of the principle...he has just said 'can't you ask them to go first and if Tony says it's *bleep* and not worth it the we can skip it use our points at Sbarro*?'

so...I may have a bit of convincing to do but it sounds good to me!

*they're my points, really, and we ARE NOT using them at Sbarro.

We will possibly go early in the trip and if it's good we have enough points to go again. Tony is really keen on going, I just hope he's not disappointed.

Photome, have a great time.

Looking forward to hearing what you think of the Bacchanal buffet. The cost and the queues have put me off in the past, but it might be worth a punt with SR points.
