I wonder if they also restricted people from sharing only with yourself.

It shouldn't make a difference unless your facebook page was private and you had no friends. Even if you only post to your own page, it will be visible to your friends if they visit your page.

I don't like the idea of them telling me what and where to post.

I usually post to facebook then go onto facebook and change it to 'only me' so nobody on my page can see it. The odd exception is when I take a couple of minutes to go on and hide it and somebody spots it on their feed and 'likes' it. Not the end of the world though.

myVegas - Room Rewards
To see the dates (they go upto the end of June), you need to purchase the room first (and you can cancel the reward if the date isn't there for u)....
WHen u purchase the reward, u should get an email with a link which takes u to your Mlife account and shows the myVegas reward....
However, my wife didn't get an email when I picked the Mirage, but I did, so heres how u see what dates are avail.........

Buy your room reward, make a note of the 6 digit ref u get in myVegas, add it to the end of this link:

And there u go, u see your comp offer and the dates avail in Gold upto the end of June........

oh, and the f**kers at Mlife, want 72hrs apart now for room comps (wasn't like this last year!!).....
I took 3 nights Mirage comp offer, and was trying to add a 4th night using the myVegas reward, but the system wont let me have the night! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!
Used the wifes myVegas instead
My host in MC gave us 3 nights over the weekend starting on the 6th night of our trip, and then gotta using the other MLife offers in a few months to book the 3rd hotel of our stay...

ok thank you for the feedback !
sadly for us we booked our vegas/new york trip a few months ago and well i seldem checked for Mlife offers and i checked it a few days and behold 3 night comped!!
are Mlife offers easy to do?
My brother and i in theory will have 3nights comped each, could we use 3 nights each for the same room?if we added 1 reward each from Myvegas each so in theory we get 8 days free(except resort fees)

StuieUK34

in theory, if u were both offered 3 nights each comp for a room, and u had myvegas nites too, you could get 7 nights (not 8), and ask the check-in person to combine the room bookings.


oh and I just logged into Mlife, Sweeeeeeeeeet! I got 3 nights comp in any hotel + $50 credit, except Bellagio which is only 2 nights.......
hmmmmmmmmmmmm ! what to book !!

Am thinking, MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay...... but which to do.... Stayed in MBay in 2013, loved the pool, but the 30 min walk to the 4corners is a bit of a trek !!!

Thanks for this, I never get confirmation emails for MyVegas purchases so had the same problem. I emailed playstudios and they re sent one but still didn't receive it. They don't go into junk/trash and I do receive promotional emails from them so don't know whats going wrong!

I have just returned my reward for comp night in MC then come on here and read this! I will purchase again and try this, thank you.

If it helps you figure it out, promotional emails go to your facebook registered email address.

Redemption emails go to the first email address you ever redeemed to, and it doesn't matter what you type in on subsequent occassions (IIRC) - so check what email address they have on file for you for redemptions

were looking at taking the offer for a suite in the Excalibur.....
I got 3 nights offer + $50 credit, wife can get 1 night free + 1 night at $19 + $50 credit.....
I know its the cheapest place and the cheapest free offer, but we have never stayed there before, so thinking to choose 5 nights in Excal vs 4 nights in MGM (or 5 nights in Lux in a suite, which we've done twice before)


Excal got a private pool, similar to Luxor ? (the one where its roped off, and u pay anything from $5 for a lounger upwards)
