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 think it may vary by property, but we went to the mlife desk the night before we checked out of Aria (late that night) and asked if we could add a dinner buffet reward to our cards. We had assumed we would have to use it the next day - the day we checked out, as we WERE guests of the hotel that day. It was a Sunday night. she said 'certainly, and it will be valid until Thursday'. And we kind of did a double-take and later high fived as it was actually going to be a bit of a PITA to use it on the Monday, we just thought it was our only option.

I am sure that I have read that some properties will say you have to use it within 24-hours of adding it to your card. And I was told (when I emailed to ask) that you had to be a guest of the hotel on the day the reward was used.

So, really, who knows!

I know most people will know this, but thought I would write it anyway for those chasing myvegas rewards.

I was watching for the refresh at 5:25 today, not after anything but on a boring conference call. I was clicking on the reward and then back to browsing. I saw it changed from sold out to next. As I was not wishing to purchase, I just clicked back to browsing. I repeated this process till next turned to sold out. Basically, the screen with the squares of the rewards never ever changed from sold old.

How can you cancel a my Vegas reward for a refund of your points? Thanks!

Go to my puchases, click on the reward you want to cancel, under the code and the expiry date on the right should be 'Cancel Reward', click and job done.

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.

I really wish I could, but I cannot run / jog due to a historic knee injury.

It only works while you're actually checked in. However, we redeemed Aria lunch buffet today after we checked out because we got it put on our card yesterday evening (while still staying at Mirage) and it stays on there for 24 hours.

They are really limiting the rewards available for non MGM guests.

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 do a one day membership to LVAC or similar? We haven't done it, but took a tour of the one on Maryland Parkway a couple of years ago. The 24 membership was $10 and they were offering a month to locals for $5 at the time. Check on the website, it may still be available. They do a lot of classes.

Thanks for the info pebblesmax. I have spoken to LVAC and a day pass is $20. They were very helpful on the phone.


Their timetable is great, and whilst they do all the 4 classes I do regularly, they never line up to do 2 or more back to back (which would make it decent value for money).


I thought asking about a gym might be a long shot, but will probably just go for it anyway as their website makes their gyms look pretty good.

Swim ?

I'd think a proper swim before the pool fills up together with limited cardio in an average fitness room might be more fun as it varies your routine but still keeps up some exercise. You are on holiday after all

I'm playing on an iPhone..... I can go to my "wallet" for the details of my purchases, but there doesn't seem to be an option to cancel.

Do I have to log in to a desktop site?
