I', trying to book a night in the Luxor with myvegas rewards, but it says I can't book online and gives me an American number to call.

Has this happened to any of you guys before?

I think from memory that you do have to call with myvegas.
there are numerous cheap/free options to call the USA

try the international call checker on this site

Some sky packages have free international calls

and there is a number often posted on this forum that is free, you would prob find it doing a search

Walking Dead was my addiction for the hol, we hit it on first night for $700 in Excalibur off $1.50 bet then again in MC for $1000.

We were at Harrahs Joliet for a few nights in June after visiting family and also got sucked into these...they seem to be really great if you're winning and hoovers if you aren't. I left a machine that took a fair amount off of me only to see the woman who sat down after me go on to win multiple $700-$1000 features...it was nuts. I kept telling myself 'random number generator, you would not have hit the spin button the exact same times she has' but it was still a bit :eek: why did you leave it?!

Can anyone who has managed to bag some of the myvegas buffets for 2 please tell me approximately what time did you get them??Tried today on the hour and 1/2 past but no joy,much preferred the 3pm regular top up of rewards!!Typical got 720k worth of lps and 4 rewards and I will probably struggle to use them if it carries on like this!!

There's a 'reward refresh' thread on the Myvegas friends Rocks facebook page. Set yourself up for notifications and if you're on facebook you'll be able to see when folk update that thread....they only do so when they spot the rewards being refreshed. It's very useful.

Just managed to grab a couple of rewards(MGM breakfast buffet x2 and dinner x2) on the dot at 8.00pm.What was interesting was that I kept refreshing them and even if they said sold I would click on it,I actually got the rewards when they said sold out on the main page yet when I still clicked on it it said NEXT and let me continue on to purchase!!!
So the moral of this story is if it says Sold still try to see if it really is!!
Going to try later on in the week for my final two rewards,hope I get lucky again!!

That's great, MGM are hard to get so that was really good.

What are your other two? Did you try the notifications on myvegas friends rocks? Hopefuly you will get the other ones you want.

We're just looking for a Bellagio 2/1 dinner, a monorail pass, and some drinks at GVR (margaritas and the other drink ones), we just need to get our LPs up now, we've got about 13,000 and 26,000 respectively, but hopefully in the next 3 weeks or so we'll have whatever we need to get what we're after. And they're not ones that sell out quickly so should be fine!

Great getting freebies. I've printed off my planner and slotted it all in and we've only got a couple of weekend days at labor day weekend without free food. I guess that's when we'll use our social rewards as well! :beer:

The next definite one I want is the Monte Carlo buffet x2.I have a ton of lps left(over400k) but because we are not staying in an MGM hotel(staying at TI)we are limited to what we can get.I have 4 rewards so my last one will probably be Aria or Mirage BOGOF.For me it's about getting the buffets as my OH is rather fond of a buffet or two!!I still have plenty of time to get them as we are there for Halloween which is a great time to go.

Didn't fancy Myvegas Rocks as I am sure that was the one that there was loads of issues about the man who was running it!I also don't do facebook I have no friends I only joined so I could play Myvegas!I did join Baza's group though!!
if I could gift some Lps to you Lesely I would do so willingly as there is no way I can spend them all this time and if the rumours are right they will be worth nothing next year!!!

Rocks is run by all female admins. Though one is questionable.

All MyVegas groups are basically the same. Rocks is "approved" but all that means is they get about 50k chips to give away for members every month.
Oh and 1.5 million chips a month for each admin.......

Most groups will have the same chip shares as the others but if your earning LPs join all the large groups.

You might be thinking of vegas rover. That all went t##s up in the end and their discount card scam I mean programme, also folded
