This depends entirely on what level you are. Up to level 58, then the lower amounts are best, after that it varies. I think at higher levels, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1700 are best depending on the game.

I'm level 319 and have almost 1 million LP's to spend next trip.

Fantastic. I saw a package of a wedding for 1 million LP's. I assume your total includes some chips being purchased? Free chips seem to take a while, for obvious reasons.

The further you get in the game, the faster you can earn Loyalty Points because you can bet more at a time and you get more for levelling up. I've made about 10,000 Loyalty Points in the last 6 or 7 days.

I bought a $5 package when it gave you extra rewards. That is all. I am very frugal, and my SO is EXTREMELY frugal (ask photome). No way we would buy chips if it didn't get us extras. I started playing just after it arrived on Facebook, play daily, have lots of friends, so I suppose that's why I have so many. We used eleven rewards each last year, but the prices of the rewards have shot up!

ferf and photome, I was told that Bally's Steakhouse would close for renovations, but when it re-opened as BLT Steak, the Sterling Brunch would still be available.
The way these things change, who knows what will happen. I'm thinking of TI and the Sirens. The performers were laid off for a month, and then called in a few weeks later to be dismissed permanently.

thanks pebbles...will be interesting to see what happens. We've been talking about it today in terms of whether we would like to go for Easter sunday if it is back...but I just don't think we can justify nearly $200 - we've discussed it before and just haven't been able to commit to it...part of me would like to try it for the experience and I am sure the food is wonderful but the champagne is lost on us and hubby is kind of take it or leave it over seafood (though prime rib and rack of lamb he could get behind).

Prime rib and rack of lamb would be lovely. Tony likes his seafood too, but the champagne part just leaves us cold. While a couple of glasses might be OK, I'm just too cheap not to drink as much as they let me to get value for money and end up ruining the day.

Sad or what?

Wow that is some playing!

How long did you take to collect those points? Is it worth adding random Myvegas players to boost your chips?

Not sure how long. Having a lot of playing friends helps.
Send me a pm with your Facebook ID and I'll send you a friend request and recommend a few players

As you say, who knows what will happen, plans change so quickly in Vegas.

And your other post made me smile

Anyone heard of Ready SIM?

It sounds interesting, and the monthly price is similar to my usual T-Mobile plan. Mine has the advantage of keeping the same number and free UK calls, but it looks like a good option for many of you. Found it on VMB, a Brit on there has used it successfully in NYC, so may be a good bet.

They list stockists at several on strip locations, Fashion Show Mall, Venetian, Caesars, 7-11, Planet Ho, Stratosphere, Tropicana, Excalibur, and several others.

No but I am on Three. I am hoping their new service is still active in December where calls in the USA are taken from my allowance.
