StuieUK34 has stated on here that you can book more than one night with Myvegas rewards.
He booked multiple nights on his last trip,and has already booked 5 free nights for his next trip to Vegas.
He also pointed out you can redeem the Myvegas rewards well outside of the 90 day window needed for things like buffets.
On our last 2 trips we have only redeemed buffets,and 6 buffets during Last Novembers trip was far to much.
I am hoping that what Stuie has said about multiple nights free with Myvegas rewards,as well as booking them over 90 days out is correct,as I don't think I would continue playing Myvegas so much,if I only had the buffets option again.
Has anyone else redeemed multiple nights through Myvegas ?

It depends on the terms, check on the 2nd page of the individual reward,some allow multiple night stays and some only allow 1. for example, the MGM midweek complimentary night for 85,500 points is limited to one per player.

Yeah. I've redeemed hotels, but it's as photome says... One reward option per account

So you have up to four reward options (depending on hotel), of which you can utilise them just once each:
Weekday Reward
Weekday Reward bonus
Weekend Reward
Weekend Reward bonus

Each have certain days of eligibility and if you can get them all lined up, they all come out for free (+resort fee). If the person you are sharing a room with is also on MyVegas they can also redeem and book the above rewards, so depending how many rewards you're allowed to redeem (usually 3) you can redeem up to 8 nights in total for a trip (.. Though obviously they couldn't all be consecutive! )

Edit: thanks penny. Hadn't realised some hotel reward options could be redeemed more than once. Will take a look as that is more interest / use to me

Am hoping some other offers come up in Mlife, but my guess is, the offers appear based on your trend spend in the casinos ? and MC and Luxor show up as my main spend places in the tax info part of Mlife...

I'm not sure how they decide what to give offers for...hubby's first mlife offer was for Mirage which certainly wasn't the property we played at most to that point...now he also has MC (booked as Mirage is sold out one night we wanted in March) and Luxor as well...but not Excalibur and I would say we played there as much as the others. It's just weird, that programme.

I don't really like having to call to book...but we're toying with maybe when we go back in the fall making one of the MGM properties our initial stay property and moving somewhere after...we'll see.

Not sure how much interest this is to anyone, but just in case.

Taken from here, read about it on Facebook but could only find references to regional casinos, but it's posted on Bally's and Caesars pages, at least.

It's tier credits vs reward credits - so not the credits you earn and can spend...so it's probably only of any interest to those who may gamble enough to get close to the next tier but not enough to tip over...and there's part of me that wonders what impending changes there will be to the programme. I am already annoyed they did away with the no mandatory resort fee for platinum as that was one of the benefits we actually got any...well...benefit out of.

Would I book for Oct 16 now? No I would wait and price it up seperately after flight prices are released (november this year), flights are getting cheaper at the moment

Hi.. In some quarters the prices for flights are already released. For instance, the prices I quoted were for flight TCX2680 departing October 2016 - not October 2015

I wouldn't book a non refundable offer for anything this far away from Oct 2016.

I guess thats a Thomas cook flight (I cant find it available to book that far ahead)

Airlines dont release scheduled flights. schedules or prices until 11 months out.

Its your call though, I wouldnt be thinking about booking this far ahead, so many things can happen between now and then

ditto...I think the only possible exception would be some sort of one-off event that I absolutely 100% knew I wanted to go to and tickets would sell out very fast.

myVegas:
It does state how many nights you can use on the reward...
Mine and the wifes account still have 4 rewards each..
The Mirage only does 'Bonus' nights anyway for Room Rewards..
The term states max 3 nights in a 90 day period..
So I used 157,500 LP's to book 3 nights with Mirage... (52500 per night)

I rang one of those £0.05 per min numbers (planet talk), then dialled the myVegas number, gave them my 3 reward numbers, got 3 separate bookings (just the same as last year for the Aria), and lady said bookings would be back to back...
Have done 2 nights on wifes account, and note on system links hers & my bookings together...
When we check-in, we wont leave the room until after 5 nights

Its only food and other stuff u have to use within 90 days of 'buying' the reward , kinda the same as buying Groupon stuff...
Hotel rooms differ, along with the limits as to how many u can buy...

As to the MLife offers, yeah, I don't get how they work....
Mine has given us 2 free nights in the Luxor (weekend nights), and now offered 2 midweek nights in the Monte Carlo....
Yet wifes account kinda offers the same, but with Luxor, it offered 1 free night as long as we paid for 1 night at $45
and MC is offered with 35% off for 2 nights.....
The Luxor let me book online the 2 nights via the Mlife site, but for the wifes, it said to call the VIP line, along with the MC offer, says to call...


Guess I need to keep my eye on Mlife to see what comes up

And yes, I know quite a bit about myVegas, been playing it since Jan 2013
