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[/QUOTE]


Thank you but I only have one email address so not sure why I don't get them, the guy helping from playstudios confirmed which address he was re sending it too which was correct.

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!!

some you can book online, others you have to call...both are easy enough, but if it has the online option it is better as you can play around with options. Did you book your hotel separately or as part of a package? Are they offering you multiple hotels or just MGM? Are there any freeplay or resort credit inclusions with the offer?

If they are offering you multiple hotels, you could consider double-booking one of the others, if you cannot amend your existing reservation. Depending on what freeplay/resort credit is included and if it would offset the cost of the resort fee for the double-booking.

Those of you who have stayed at Aria previously, have any stayed in the basic deluxe room? or any experiences with upgrades from the deluxe room?

Ah. Thought there could have been a typo but sounds like that's been eliminated. Not sure then

we did the myvegas stay a few years ago in Aria for two nights. No luck at all with an upgrade (but then my history of upgrades over the past few trips isn't great anyways, and I think it may have been hampered by the fact we hadn't paid anyway). We were perfectly happy with the room tho even tho it did feel a bit of a traipse to get there. We also got $100 credit of them as we got messed around a bit! (Problems with our room taking ages to sort)

thanks for that warning...that will probably solve our 'should we leave the cases with the bellman or schlep them ourselves?' arrival debate.

We're also picking up the car on arrival, something we haven't done for a transatlantic arrival in years...but it was £100 cheaper to pick up on arrival than the next day at TI...and using AlamoBrits that pebbles and photome recommended and the car we had the one time we tried them was much, much newer than the fleet Dollar at TI have been handing out the last few years. So we already have a bit of a faff at the start of the trip we don't normally, a long schlep to the room with cases isn't something that would be appreciated.

I used MyVegas for a Friday night in September .
It was the home hotel for some kind of fight event and the hotel (Luxor) was heaving . I asked if any complimentry upgrades were available - and got an upgrade,

So upgrades are certainly possible with the free nights.

Lake Havasu - any comments? I tried searching past threads and see a number of references to people possibly going but couldn't see any reports. Is it really 2.5 hours or so driving?

One of my friends I haven't seen in about 20 years is visiting family there when we're in Vegas and we might make a trip to LH for a day vs meeting her in Vegas if it's a nice enough day trip.

Will be in Vegas in September. Booked hotels a while back on cancellable rates. When can we expect prices to drop between now and September?
