    Think I am more confused about the rules of myvegas than I was before all the recent posts.:rotfl:

    I am really only looking to use mine on buffets,and can't help but look at the use within 90 days part.we go in May,so to be on the safe side,I will wait until we are into march before booking.That way I know things will be ok.

    May get to go again in November,and wouldn't mind using some rewards for hotel rooms then.So hope we will find some clarity on the rules by then,but as they seem to change the rules often,I very much doubt it.

    Me too....I have just looked on total rewards and can still get my last 3/4 nights comped at Rio or harrahs, we have fancied trying Rio in the past so we may just go there rather than the Luxor with Myvegas and then we can carry on saving on MyVegas, then either use them for food this year or maybe better rooms next year
  • For me anything I get for free is absolutely fantastic and I thank my VEGAS for that. As a couple playing for 2 months we both have about 400k chips, with 1 account having 225k LPs and the other having 170k LPs.

    Seems weird quoting myself, but the original answer was in relation to how many LPs to collect per day. Anyway, 5 days on from this : 1 account has lost all 400k chips and is broke, but now has 185k LPs. 2nd account has 2M chips and 246k LPs.

    How did you get from 400k chips to 2 million chips

    that's more or less what we decided too as we've found we can cover or last 2 nights with comps at Mirage or TI so we're just going to do that...reading about using multiple rewards for consecutive nights seems like it may be a bit of a faff and we have stayed at Luxor before - and going for Luxor would mean burning all 3 of my rewards for our April trip...but it seems a crazy deal if you really can get 3 nights for 18k LP each...relative to the monetary value of most rewards and the points needed for them on MyVegas that just seems exceptional.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    thanks for that had never played more than 3000 chips a spin as never had more than about 300000 to play with.

    Just had 10 spins on betrock at 12000 a spin, chickened out of maximum bet but still just won 2 million chips!!!!:T

    It does seem a good deal and if i do use the TR comp it still means we havent stayed in a pyramid :(

    Just pure luck. Had a good daily spin yesterday, Lucky Birds gave me 170k off a 1k spin yesterday, Bedrock 1st spin this morning at 1,200 paid 115k, and Monster Mainiacs has been good to me.

    The other account is played very similar, but just had no luck.
  • Been transferring points from Social Rewards to Total Rewards. Done 3000 over the last 3 weeks, but my online Total Rewards balance still shows as zero.

    I do t have a card, but signed up online for total rewards, will the points be on the card when I collet in Vegas?
