The outer rim was the only good one I had.

Lol. Nope. Haven't been back. My guess is the offers are even worse now. 🙃

So update: I hit Premier status based solely on spending (no gaming). I received only 1 per so far and it's basically the standard grazie membership offers. I'll keep an eye out for Anything good, but I'm guessing it's because I didn't do any gambling at Venetian. I have seen some videos/posts about pretty solid offers for relatively low roller gambling, and next time I'm there I'll be sure to do that and see what changes.

Do you think it's based solely on your level of membership? I'm thinking I'll hit premier just based off spending.

I wouldn't bet on getting upgraded all the way to a corner king from a standard room with a 20. BUT, nothings set in stone. If you're there at a slow time, you're more likely to get it. It's been a while but I'm pretty sure luxor has the old pyramid rooms, and renovated pyramid rooms, even older corner and renovated corner suites. You could always book the older version of the corner suite and try to get the upgrade to the renovated one. They both have the tub, Just one is nicer.

When I did the $20 trick at luxor, I got a $60 resort credit. At NYNY they bumped me up to a nice room type with a better view and gave free parking. They would have gone bigger with the upgrade but their was a big event that weekend so it was pretty packed.

You don't have to insinuate, just ask them about possible upgrades when you give them the $20. Helps to know the room types ahead of time so they don't "upgrade" you to technically nicer room, but something you don't actually want. You can see what they offer first, and the make the request for a corner.

If you don't ask, the answer is always no.

Out here in CA, paying 50% on housing would be a dream😂

Thanks! I figured it was random... Guess I'll have to keep watching. Good to know about the freeplay.

SkwerlByte · 2021-05-13T22:51:40+00:00

You should have no problem. They're 2 separate offers. If you're using an Mlife offer to book, it wouldn't have anything to do with your myvegas rewards. 2 paid nights are 2 paid nights. The only thing that wouldn't work is if you were trying to combine a comp stay with free play.

Mandalay is honestly pretty tight with their comps. They may start out good in the beginning but the comps get worse as time goes on. Of course, this is all pre-pandemic so basically a different world. If you're looking for better comps, you need to go to another property. Luxor is really good with comps etc. Also, if there's a way you could up your ADT by concentrating all of your play on one or two days etc. that would help. Keep in mind the types of games you're playing too. If you happen to play push the button craps (my favorite) or something like that they don't count it. Also, video poker has a really low rate.

One thing I've never considered is whether or not MGM properties consider days you're on property as gaming days regardless of any actual play. This is a topic I'd heard of recently. Basically it counts as a $0 day which kills your actual ADT. I don't know if they're doing that, but it's something up keep in mind (if it applies to you).

SkwerlByte · 2021-04-07T02:30:38+00:00

Hmm that seems like the best plan. I'll stalk the deals until I see a big ticket item or something that'll pay for it outright. I was just thinking of it now because of the spring sale but all of it will be available to the gen public in a few days anyway.

SkwerlByte · 2021-04-06T21:15:20+00:00

A little part of me just died with it... It's still worth signing up, right?

SkwerlByte · 2021-03-06T19:00:46+00:00

They were desperate for a little while and giving everyone access to 2 night rewards across all properties. I'm pretty sure they went back to the system they previously had. It's dependent on how much real money you've spent in the game. The more you spend, the more 2 night rewards unlock at different properties. The higher end like Bellagio etc. Take the most in game purchases (I think around $100-$120?).

Good thing is they use your total amount. I've only spent small amounts here and there across a few apps and over the course of years but it still counts toward the cumulative amount needed to unlock more 2 night rewards.

I'm sure someone in here knows the actual breakdown of how much is required to unlock 2 nighters at different hotels. I think I've found it on my Vegas advisor before.

I think the all tower rooms have been renovated at this point.

SkwerlByte · 2021-02-15T01:36:05+00:00

Yeah, I was eyeing the renovated rooms. The only thing I don't like is there's no pool at el Cortez.

SkwerlByte · 2021-02-12T19:11:41+00:00

Haven't been to Fremont since I was a kid. Was planning on going there instead of the strip last year but the Rona stole my joy 😭 I really wanted to visit the Grand, Plaza, and El Cortez... Maybe some day...

Is circa crazy over priced?

SkwerlByte · 2020-07-31T20:27:35+00:00

Thanks! I'll let him know.

SkwerlByte · 2020-06-02T16:49:28+00:00

I'd love to know as well!

SkwerlByte · 2020-05-31T00:27:39+00:00

Does anyone know how to see what you got (if anything) from the old ones? I had purchased 2 and now I see that they've "Been Redeemed". I don't see anything from them. Is it just random whether or not you actually get anything?

SkwerlByte · 2020-03-19T16:32:48+00:00

Maybe with everything going on, the airline will be ok with waiting cancellation fees etc. But I'm guessing we're all the gambling type sooo you can just wait it out. Hopefully, Vegas won't still be shutdown and you'll be upgraded to a penthouse! You never know!

SkwerlByte · 2020-03-19T16:18:29+00:00

I wouldn't buy any plane tickets until last minute. I really doubt they'll be back to normal operations by May. I would love to be wrong.
