Birthday - So it's my birthday when we are out there and a few bits I have found out/got because of it. Ri Ra send you a $10 off a $30 spend for your birthday reading the coupon you have 30 days to use it from when they send it to you so you don't have to use it on your birthday, Earl of Sandwich, sign up to their website and get a free sandwich on your birthday, Luxor - On your birthday apparently you get to spend their bonus wheel at the MLife desk to win up to $100 max in bonus play. Eiffel Tower apparently give you a coupon for free entry on your birthday.

Don't forget Margaritaville (not birthday specific, but a free appetiser within 30 days of signing up to their mailing list)

Any of u MLifer's checked your latest Offers ?
Mine have come up trumps this time, I guess going twice this year and spending lots has paid off !
3 Nights, any Property, all Suites!! (inc Bellagio), however, only offers a Royal Room in the Excalibur ?! (that's a normal room right ?!!)
$250 in freeplay, $250 in resort credit.....
Any date upto Apr 30th.....

Soooooooooooo, given an offer like that, it would be rude not to use it! As long as the wifey lets me go again, I plan on doing 3 nights in Vegas over the Nascar weekend (2-4th March), its on my bucket list to watch a Nascar race, so I think this is a Must!

Challenge is, to get return flights for £350 (4 night trip), don't matter if I fly to LAS, LAX, PHX..... Best I get flight hunting !

swingaloo

We want to do Vegas again next year, its 4 or 5 years since we last went.

Last time we stayed in the Luxor and liked it, however Ive just been looking and it says the rooms are now all 'non smoking'. Hubby smokes (wish he didn't!) and is disabled to its a pain in the backside to have to go outside or into the casino if he wants to smoke.

Does anyone know if the same applies to all the hotels now or is it just that the Luxor have changed tack?

Another thing Ive noticed is that when trying to book an hotel they don't let you book for the number of nights we want. Some say you can only book online if its less than 14 nights. Ideally we would like to do 16/17 nights.
Do they allow you to book for that long if you do it by email?

Well done Stuie, a lot of spend to get a good reward . Are your hotels for weekend stays? I recently purchased a two night Aria stay with MyVegas and weekends aren't part of the offer.

Google flights - https://www.google.com/flights/#search;iti=DUB_LAS_2018-03-01*LAS_LHR_2018-03-05*LHR_DUB_2018-03-06;tt=m;sel=DUBPHL0AA723-PHLLAS0AA699,LASORD0AA54-ORDLHR0AA86,LHRDUB0BA836
under £350 for Dub -Las-Lhr-Dub, you know what to do of there;) You could do Dub return cheaper but factor in the positioning flights the above works out better and if you go HBO you wont have any issues at Lhr.

Swingaloo, I can't help you regarding the smoking issue, although I'm sure I have stayed in LV hotels and asked if I want smoking or non smoking rooms at check-in. Maybe the hotels are now being more strict especially in rooms.

I have never stayed in Vegas for that length of time. I know a lot of people, myself included swap and change hotels during a stay so just make separate bookings if you can't book for the full duration.
Good luck

I believe all the Mlife properties are non smoking. Other strip hotels are a mixture of both.

Last time we went for longer than 14 nights in the same hotel we just made two consecutive bookings. Day of changeover, go to front desk and get room keys refreshed. You can link the bookings when you check in.

My MLife offers is for everyday from now until Apr 30, includes the New Year
I have found my flight, although just over budget at the mo
Its £389 flying LON-LAX with Air New Zealand.....
I love driving anyway, so I can either do Vegas for the 2-4th March weekend and watch the Nascar there, or go March 18th weekend, and work it so I watch the race at the Auto Club speedway (nr LA), and then drive upto Vegas, .... Decisions Decisions!

Thank you for the replies. Never thought to do 2 consecutive bookings (duh!).

Looks like you have found a good deal at £389 especially without the cost and hassle of a positioning flight.:)
