    What level are you? We've been playing since the beginning so I'm about 650 or something. We do the wheel and collect the strip every day, but I hate playing it now. Tony still plays it and then complains about it.



    Shamefully, I'm only at level 40. If I'm honest, I thought it would be a heck of a long time before we saw Vegas again so while I'd heard of it on here, I've never bothered until a couple of months ago when circumstances changed and we decided to go, and I thought I'd give it a try and see if I could get a good offer or two to go with.
    Luxor is proving a bit of a b*gger to build. But I'm a bit loathe to spend money buying chips. I don't know if it's worth it.

    I've virtually stopped playing myvegas now.Dont play on the computer at all.Only go on mobile version occasionally.
    As has already been said,the rewards aren't what they were,and while we have a 2 x aria for the May trip,that's about all there is worth getting.
    I have about 290000 LPs left for use for Septembers trip.But with 2 for 1 buffets being the only thing really worth getting for us from now on,I don't really need to play anymore.
    If I get the Aria,Bellagio and Mirage 2 for 1's it only requires 29000 points.
    Still worth playing to get those rewards,but don't need to keep hammering the game like I used to.Also,at least the bogof buffet rewards don't require a stay at an MGM resort hotel.

    We got a room night each for this trip. We have $50 for NYNY when we are there, 1x Aria each for when we are there or at Mirage. Couldn't face trying to get the difficult 2x Aria. That's 5 rewards between us. We have 4x each per 30 days and will probably go for a bit of free play for each night too. Other than that, a couple of RR and GVR buffets, maybe monorail tix, not sure what else.

    If I could give gold coins away I would. We have over 4 million between us.

    Can you tell I'm sick of this game?

    End of rant and sorry to everyone who has less than that.

    I'm level 606 on My Vegas; started playing it in 2013. A couple of people on my neighbours list are levels 2000+! :eek:

    We were very happy with the suite at the Birmingham Genting that we booked for Crufts last weekend. It was only 90,000 LPs for what was basically about a £250 room upgrade. I think this might be the way forward for me with MyVegas, to use the points in the UK as and when I can, since we don't stay at an MGM hotel. I do wish they would let you filter by which rewards are actually in Las Vegas, though!
    Egg Loan - [strike]£4921.84[/strike] £0!! :j Barclaycard - £3866.47 Legal + Trade - [strike]£2700.96[/strike] £0!! :j Triton - [strike]£1730.89[/strike] £0!! :j Next - [STRIKE]£776.15[/STRIKE] £126.88 Littlewoods - [strike]£217.16[/strike] £0!! :j Housemate - [strike]£1300[/strike] £0!! :j Capital One - [STRIKE]£1652.51[/STRIKE] £1,081.58 Vanquis - [strike]£2337.75[/strike] £375.58

    I just checked and my highest player is level 16423!!!!:eek:

    That's a great way to use points. I agree about the filter.

    I just put the game on bet the farm at minimum (17?) and did max spins for collecting casino parts. It's a long time since I did it, so that may not work any longer. I built the casinos on both of our games that way. He just played when the casinos were finished.

    I wish I had millions of chips, it keeps taking mine off me, I don't have much luck with it tbh lol, but ggrrrrrr.
    I have to admit I'm getting fed up with all the pop ups. I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth playing it anymore because we are going to Vegas in June, so I might not have enough loyalty points to even get a decent offer. Not sure what to do atm.

    Have you tried the blackjack game on a mobile device?
    My (limited) experience with myvegas is as frustrating as others but I did find that the blackjack app was good for a quick few thousand.
    Probably worth doing if you'll settle for rewards under 10,000 - there's a few buffet 241s in that range for example.

    we just did that offer that was on last weekend -3 million chips for $3, managed to get another 20k gold coins from it.

    Both me and TH have just gone for the NFI rewards and the $50 NYNY bar credit again

    I would love to go back to Vegas again, haven't been for years. Best flights I can come up with for a week in May or June is flight £700 from London. Too much for me. Anyone spotted any bargains? Thanks
