Exactly, better in your pocket than theirs
Even if it removes the resort fee for the stay it's a win

at a couple of hundred dollars over 6 nights, hell yeah!

though i'm not sure we'd spend that much to warrant such a discount?

so if I put a $20 bill into a machine, play for 30mins (gambling $200 for argument's sake) then withdraw $20 at the end... does my players card balance reflect the initial $20, or the $200 I've played with?

This has already started at casino bars...hope it isn't going to be used for slot play as well.
Increasing resort fees,and now fewer "free" drinks

First hand experience of the Caesars Blue / Red / Green light system this month... without wanting to sound too american, "it sucks"!

i've never used my MLife card properly when in Vegas. I've always booked hotels via expedia, etc. any way.

how often does MLife send out promotional emails? I'm not sure I'm getting them...!

hi
Have you got your Mlife card-if so, have you registared on Mlife.com? if not i would register on Mlife.com all you need it your account number(on your Mlife card) and a few details, and you create a password and then its easy to see if you have any deals via that way!

in addition to what duchy has said , i have booked tickets to see a show via mgmgrand(and used my life account to get the points) that ll help, you can book shows via the mgm websites(whatever show/hotel you ll be looking at)
hope this helps

Hi we will be travelling from Scotland to LV end of Feb next year. Flights and hotel booked. Any help appreciated in how we go about booking Blue Man Group. Is it best to wait until we get there or what? We are actually staying in the Luxor but don't want to be ripped off. Also any suggestions for good places to eat out..not mega expensive again as we have to stick to a budget of sorts. Cheers.

Excuse my ignorance but what is this, how do you get one and what can you use it for? I'm new to this forum but we are heading to LV end of Feb next year and don't have masses of money to spend.

you get points for every dollar/s played through, but a lot of dollars played are required to earn any meaningful points to spend, but of course every little helps

far less play needed to get room offers in your account

impossible to answer, (dont know your budget) you could eat burgers every day ranging from $1 to megabucks for the kobe burger at burger bar which i think is $70.

and the same applies to every other type of food, the range is enormous and there are thousands of choices.

many on here eat off strip, where a car would be helpful, for fast cheap food i like Komex which is a mexican/korean fusion

Mlife card is just like a tesco clubcard.

you join the club (for free) and then use your mlife card in all MGM casinos when playing/purchasing.

Total rewards is the same but is for all Caesers properties

other programs are available at some of the smaller casinos but those 2 account for most on the strip.

however if you are not gambling very much and not ever going back to vegas I wouldnt worry to much about them

there used to be lots of signing up offers but they have almost vanished

Thanks for info. Reckoning on $100 a day/night....don't want to eat burgers every night and def want to see a show and do a bit of sightseeing beyond the strip. We plan on hiring a car and currently trying to work out whether it's best to do this from the UK or not.:j

Meant to put that in your first reply to me....see I really don't know what I'm doing on this board photome
