    Thanks for the reply pebblesmax.

    I was hoping I still had 3 to use,as in my rewards wallet the redeemed room doesn't show anymore.There is only my Aria x 2 Buffet and $50 credit at piano bar.

    Question..

    I redeemed one of my three myvegas rewards in January for reduced rates nights staying in the Monte Carlo during our May trip.
    Does this mean that I only have 2 rewards left to use in May.Or, as the room reward was purchased,and "used" in Jan,do I still have 3 to use in May....not sure I've made what I mean clear.
    The reward was redeemed in January,but it is being "used" for a hotel stay in May.
    Does that count a one of my 3 rewards during Our May visit,or do I still have 3 rewards to use in May,as the hotel one was redeemed in Jan.


    Don't forget it's only MGM rewards that count in the three...... for example we used a hotel night, an MGM buffet breakfast for two and some freeplay as our three - but we used other non property rewards like buffet at Red Rock , a cabana for the day at Red Rock etc as they didn't count as part of the three.

    About the MyVegas rewards that require a one night stay in a MGM property - does anyone know the restrictions on this? I'm getting quite annoyed at all the half decent rewards I can't use because we're staying at The Cosmo.

    If I were to stay one night in the Aria, for example, and then switch to The Cosmo for the rest of the stay, would I be able to redeem the "one night in a MGM property" rewards during my whole trip, or would I only be able to use them while we were actually staying at the Aria?

    I tried looking through the T & Cs but can only see that a one night stay in an MGM property is required, and that you have to present your reservation number at the M Life desk.

  • I am currently taking the next step towards becoming a Les Mills instructor (exercise classes). Therefore, I would like to limit the weight gain whilst on holiday, and possibly do a class or 2 whilst on holiday.


    Therefore, has anyone visited a gym in LV and have any comments.


    We are staying at MGM Sig and will not have a car, so currently looking at the local LVAC.

    What about the gym in The Signature itself? The hotel gyms are usually open 24/7.

    OH used the one in The Cosmo last trip and said it was nice. I think the hotel ones are usually pretty good standard.

    Signature gym wasnt that great or that large. Nothing like regular LV hotel gyms.....more like a room with some machines in it.

    hi
    we visit the one in the mgm the cardio room i think it was called back when we visited back in 2014.

    we were only really nosing around, there were maybe 5-8 or there about treadmills, some cross trainer type machines, i think there was also a weight area as well but as i said we were only nosing about!

    sadly thats all i remeber about it except there was a boxing fight happening at the time(2 mexicans prehaps?) which was premoted by oscar de la hoyla and we saw 2-3 people from one of the boxers team(i assume) in red(prehaps the boxer himself , though i doubt i d reckonise him though)

    i can understand the motion of staying in shape of trying to but im sure one of the trip reports on the firstpage one of the reviewers his wife was a keen runner.
    have you thought about walking up and down the strip, all just a long walk about?

    hope this helps

    Thank for the replies.

    MGM and Sig gym are fine for a quick workout, but probably looking to have a day / session when I can really hit it hard.

    We will walk miles, but unfortunately I can run due to a long standing knee injury.

    Why not just run . Stoneman amongst others has posted routes before. There's always early morning runners out on the Strip before it gets too hot.
