- In this video, I discuss what I find to be the single EASIEST way to start earning Las Vegas comps, and it doesn't require any significant time or money above and beyond what you would spend in Vegas anyway.
Thanks as always for taking the time to watch. It means the world.

Hey folks! Iâm amazed how much this video has blown up since I made it back in 2021!!
Judging by the fact that it still brings in most of the views my channel gets (lol), itâs obviously still something people are interested in learning about.
Just please keep in mind that this is from 2021 and while the main premise of the video definitely holds true today (use players card, earn comps), the rewards program has since been revamped and so some details have changed.
I think Iâll try to do an update or Q&A video soon about this.
â€
Where's the updated vid boss?
@@Chris-ms5bd đ Yeah... about that... it hasn't happened yet. A couple people have asked lately. I need to stop slackin'! I appreciate you keeping me honest, haha.
Any purchases that you make with mgm resorts such as: stores restaurants, etc. Keep the receipts! Before leaving the city, gather your receipts, go to the mlife desk, and submit your receipts, they stamp them and count them as points. I've been doing that for years! The top card I've ever had was gold. I only stay at mgm resorts, I love it there! Hope this helps đ
Mayra, this is fantastic advice, thank you! I have heard that from multiple people now. I wish I would have known that when I was there last time. Thanks for educating us. :)
So I can take the receipts? I donât have to charge it all to me room?
đ€© wow!
This was better advice than the video.
Done the same thing at the Cosmo.
I'm Caesars Diamond elite and comps are pretty solid. Free rooms pretty much whenever, celebration dinner and no resort fees!! Plus solid amounts of free play and other invite only events.
Thank you! Never thought about charging meals and services to our room!!!!! We dont gamble much but do spend generously on dining and entertainment so this is an EXCELLENT tip to tier up quickly đđœ
If you don't want to charge to the room you just need to give them your rewards card when paying
thank you for the information, can't wait to see your vlogs for vegas or your road trip.
Thank you for the content our video about comps is getting recommended by your video the most. Just wanted to reach out and say thank you and we are now a subscriber.
Thank you both so much for the kind note, and for the sub. I subbed back in return. :) Keep up the great work!
And yes, do NOT gamble more to chase comps. I got a little reckless and lost discipline one day on my last trip. While I only lost like $600 that day, it was more than I normally would. I'm usually $200-$300/day bankroll. Losing $600 was well within my bankroll budget for the trip but didn't get any different offers. You won't get much better comps if you blow a lot of dough fast. Slow and steady wins the race.
Great video! Love the Griffey jersey
Thanks for the info!
I got the strat true rewards.
I stayed 3 nights in elevate two queen beds
only gambled a few hundred bucks at the tables and slots.
Then a month later they offered me 2 free nights for a select king room. No resort fees.
I'm going in late August. Can't wait. đ
Next year I will stay at the Flamingo.
I play myVegas and have an mLife credit card which bumps you up to automatic pearl status and gives mLife points for every purchase (3x on mgm properties). Although myVegas comps arenât as good as they used to be, I still save a ton compared to paying full price.
Moving to Northern Arizona soon. This is going to be a savior for when friends and fam visit, thank you!
Thanks for tuning in! đđ»
Being an MLife gold member has translated into wonderful comps for me over 20 years. It's a must do. Nice Griffey jersey also!
We used to get comped rooms at MGM properties but maybe 8 years ago they started not offering as much so we decided to stay at Wynn exclusively. We go once or twice a year and I play video poker. Wife plays slots (don't ask). We might bring 3 or 4 grand with us. We get comp offers every quarter for 3 free nights, $350-$500 in free play and some level of food/beverage credit. We haven't been since Oct of 2019 due to Covid but we're heading back in October fully comped in the Wynn Tower Suites Parlor. It just takes time and yes you must have a players card wherever you play. I'd also say to just stick to one property to rack up your comps.
Good tips. Thanks.
First time going to Vegas this November at MGM!! So excited!! Thank you for the info!
I will be there at November as well - probably 24 to 28
Dude youâre awesome! Mariners gear and âDonât look backâ on vinyl.
Sounds like you have great taste also! đ Appreciate you watching and commenting, Bjorn!
Great video. I'm a Pearl Military member and I actually get quite a bit of offers from MGM as well. My favorite comp to use is "4 Comp Nights" because it always comes with freeplay and resort credits. I just recently returned from Vegas (4 days ago) and stayed at the Luxor. I got: 4 Comps Nights, $400 in Freeplay, and $500 Resort Credit. Although it's further down from most hotels on the strip, I actually enjoyed my stay. I also, get $50 promotion flights to Beau Rivage in Mississippi and Borgata in New Jersey.
Lol damn. I got pearl now being a vet too. Any advice on how to get the best comps?
Let's go together next time
I went to Vegas solo for the first time 3 weeks ago. I got the M Life card before I gambled anything. I made sure to only gamble at the MGM properties during my time there. I came home and wanted to go back. So I opened up the MGM app, signed in and went to book a room direct. I did not get my rooms comped BUT I did get really great, low rates offered to me just for playing on that one trip. Iâll be going back to Vegas next week to play more at the MGM properties! Great video. Thanks for the advice!
I'm glad! Remember to keep an eye on the app too, because it can always change especially if demand drops. Thanks so much for watching, Kayla! :)
The room comps will come. Get the MGM credit card that links with your rewards card and earn benefits faster. Your using a card to get there anyway might as well get room upgrades and free play!!
Thanks for the info đđ
Thank you for the video đ
MySpace (just kidding) ....cracked me up. Good humor.
Thanks. Be there soon end of May w my coworkers. Told them we must register. Sending them this video.
Thanks Linda! Mlife is now called MGM Rewards and there are some differences from when I made this video that youâll want to look into online, but the main premise still stands. Use your players card when you gamble and theyâll send you offers from time to time. đ Have a great time!
Lol omg I love the blues clues slide đ
Haha, thanks! It definitely took me back to my younger days. :-)
Going this weekend. thanks for all the tips. first thing ima do is pick up my players card
Awesome man! Yeah thatâs all this video is really about. Rewards have changed and the rewards program has been revamped, but the main premise here is to use your players card whenever you can, because it costs nothing and can only help to score deals for next time. :) Enjoy!
@@NickMagnuson thank you so much
If you call you can sometimes get better comps. I got 3 day comp at Mandalay Bay
Like your video. I'll add something too... go to a place like venetian to build up your room comps. It's easy to get to tier 2. Now go to wynn (or other places you like going to) because they tier match. Then you'll spend $50 at that resort. Enjoy your rewards and free buddy rooms too.
Great advice, thank you!
On MGM Rewards card if you are a military active or veteran you get a free upgrade to the Pearl card level. At MGM Northfield this has yielded 10% discount on food and a separate buffet line.
Caesars Rewards. Closest Caesars to me is in Windsor Canada. Playing at a low roller level I have been offered free rooms in Las Vegas.
Another offer which surprised me was four free days in Atlantic City with free air fare...Cleveland to Atlantic City with transfers.
Wow!! That sounds like a great deal!
I love the Luxor tower rooms. I am only a Gold member, but they do offer me the tower suite, $200 free play, and $200 resort credit for 4 nights.. Wish I could make it to platinum, but that is quite a jumpâŠ
I have a few questions, what if you already booked the hotel but didnât have the rewards until now (haha)? Can I use the receipt to accrue points? How do the point system work? $1 = 1pt? And how many points do you have to accrue in order to get a comped room? Would love to know, thanks!!
All your suggestions are good. Also I like to try just walking up to a pit boss and asking flat out for a comp. sometimes they just wrote you out a comp for a steakhouse or the buffet. This worked well at the hard rock i once had a party of 6 full comps to the steakhouse we didnât even gamble lol
That might have worked in the 90s or early 2000s but try that today and the pit boss would LOL you. Comps are based on sophisticated computer programs tracking every time you gamble and NEVER give you the value of the money you lost....NEVER. If you are getting $150/nts comped you can bet that you lost at minimum $150 per day in their casinos. Aint no freebies in Vegas anymore except maybe at hell holes like Circus Circus and Ex. and I wouldnt stay at either one if they paid me $200 a night.
@@jaysantos536 2016 i got dinners from the hard rock pit boss, 2018 Green Valley Ranch my uncle got a beautiful suite room comp with balcony directly from the pit boss. I think itâs just the way you ask if you sound convincing, maybe itâs the New York accent? They write it down on a piece of scrap paper and sign it. I live here in Vegas since 2001 itâs still that way even tho it seems to be so corporate. They still can just write shit down and hook it up. Nothing has changed if you just ask the right way. Another good tip if you go to a concert at the new raiders allegiant stadium just buy the upper deck seats and move down to the good seats - they donât check your ticket all. I just did that successfully last Saturdays concert was fun time.
@@frankiedinosaur4245 OK thanks for setting the record straight. But maybe all the comps at the Hard Rock is what shut them down? HaHa. I never have and never will "play for comps" simply because I know there's less than 5% of players that ever get comped equal to what they lose. 90-95% of my gambling is at the Sports/Race book anyway and the only comps I've ever gotten there was some free T-shirts and glasses and beers when betting the Kentucky Derby. Ha.
@@jaysantos536 lol probably true about hard rock.. and One thing I know about sports books is if you gamble there you can get good comps too but itâs another time you have to be all aggressive and be asking for the right credits for your gambling similar to asking hosts and put bosses at table games itâs kinda about how you ask. I actually donât gamble cuz Iâm too cheap lol. But Iâve done a lot of that type of thing to help get my freinds and family comps when they come, I think I got lots of stuff because I act like Iâm bringing visitors from New York the hosts seem to like that. And letâs all admit that the comps are only there to lessen the blow. The casinos have to make there money and most people lose when they gamble. Even with the comps you are better off just buying some show tickets and a nice dinner where you wanna go and donât even worry. To me it was sometimes just a fake to see what I can get for my family when they visit lol. But itâs a hassle too. Even to use the card in the machine every time is a pain in the ass lol
@@frankiedinosaur4245 "To me it was sometimes just a fake to see what I can get for my family when they visit lol." THAT sounds typical New Yorker to me and I really like NY guys. Are you the guy that took this gullible Texan;s $20 bill in a three card monte "game" in Manhatten about 40 years ago? Ha cant believe I fell for that/
I like your tips thank you.
MGM Gold player, I am Canadian haven't been to Vegas in 1 year and months since COVID, just got 4 free nights at Aria, Tower suites, booked October hoping the border opens by then, can't wait.
Boom! Perfect! I like to tune into 'Not Leaving Las Vegas' when Steve does his live streams, and he's a Canadian who moved to LV. He's mentioned what you all are dealing with up there. :-( Hang in there!
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing!!! Extremely helpful!
Thank you!!
taxes and resort fee to all gold members and above are free on all comped rooms on all mgm properties. This was changed in 2018 I believe. (maybe 2019)
For the longest time, I used the My Vegas, POP slots and the My Konami slots. I accumulated a lot of redeemable comps through those apps.
Planning my first ever 7 day Vegas trip in November. I have enough points for a free 7 day Monorail pass and one $100 freeplay for any casino. Seeing how I want to book MGM for the trip, that Comp would be ideal.
You have to stay at the casino to get $100 free play
I'm going to Vegas in September..I got bunch of points on popslots..I used some at Biloxi before..I got a free room free drinks and free buffet..I got almost 500,000 points right now
Update on the experience please !
The only thing is when you redeem through the games it doesn't count towards the MGM Rewards points. Just something to keep in mind.
Yep you got it!!
The Mlife credit card, has no annual fee, gives you Pearl status, includes free parking, point bonus when gambling, and points dont expire.
If you are a couple where one gambles a lot more than the other, have the low user use the card of the high user.. one gamble while the other takes a break
or has a drink .. IF you both get comp offers , have each individual book a room on their own, then bring another couple with you , and you both get free rooms.
MGM allows 2 people living at the same address to use one account. Both people will receive cards with their names but points earned on both cards go to one account.
Getting ready to go back after four long years away. Room at MGM Grand is 0.00 including resort fees and this includes Saturday plus Chiefs-Raiders Sunday and the customary weekday to follow. Another tip that helped me build points fast is the fact I do lots of Horse Racing and Sports. I see so many who place zillions of bets and never mention their MLife account/show their card! Do it every single bet it adds up fast...........
Yes Iâve had a lot of MGM comps. Actually got a Royal Suite at excalibur 5 nights for a small price for next september plus resort credit and free play !!! It works so fine !!! Good video and good luck in your channel đȘđŒđȘđŒđȘđŒ
Thanks, Marco! Love that! A suite at Excalibur would be awesome. I love gambling and hanging out at the casino there. Good vibes and I always seem to do well. Thanks for watching!
Marco, how much to you think you play to get those sort of comps? I would say that on average he get ar least half of what we play back in comps like free rooms.
I have the m-life MasterCard, that keeps me at Pearl level no matter what I gamble while in LV. Comp rooms, free play & resort credits!Plus I earn points while shopping at home.
I trust this guy almost as much as my mom.
đ
18 subscribers ? Actually almost 600! Now you got one more. Cool, down to earth, guy.
Lol! I was just thinking about that line from the video earlier today. I actually had 19 subs when I published this video, and I now sit at 610. The response has been absolutely mind blowing. Thanks so much for watching!! :)
thanks for the explanation, success for you my friend and warm greeting from the warna bangsa
This is awesome! Do you have an option to choose the type of room you want even if you pay extra?
Yeah! So it looks like I cut it out of the video, but after you log in and choose the property, it will give you room choices, and clearly list the price (if not comped). I just cut ahead to whatever room I chose for this offer. Hope that helps!
If you are at MGM Grand and need to visit the rewards desk, be prepared to wait. I had to wait 45 minutes. There were 14 people in front of me and only one window open when I was there a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, ten steps away at the box office, there were three employees standing around helping the zero people in that line.
Go to the cashier and ask them to break a large bill so you can tip your waitress. Casually ask if they can also get your rewards card too. Worked for me April 2022. Be patient, polite and pleasant. They will be so appreciative and do all they can to help you out.
@@minecraftbuilder3110 Thank you for this tip!! I've been going to Vegas every year for the last 5 years, but haven't joined MLife because the line at the rewards desk is always so long. I wish they would just send us a card in the mail.
@@shawnmarie459 happy to help!
Made the Cosmo my go to hotel/casino recently and Iâve already received 3 free with $50 daily F&B credit . Have stayed there twice in the last 3 months and gambled about $100, so super awesome deal.
I have the Mille platinum. I get 4 comp night in a suite with 1000 free play and 500 resort credit. If you have a spouse put them on your account also so you combine the points
Thank you, you worded this so simply. I am going next month for the first time. Do you get the comps while you're still in Vegas or do you not get them until later until you leave and are back at home?
This would definitely be something you get rolling on this trip, with the idea that you will reap the rewards next time you're wanting to go. Definitely check out my video about the MyVegas app though, because you can earn loyalty points for MGM discounts and even before you go next month! Good luck!
the amount you gamble [bet size/hour and buy in amount ] are what makes a difference. For Caesars you have to become diamond thats when you get an assigned host [10000 points].You receive strip view rooms, free valet parking, $200 dinner credit at any hotel at Caesars properties.
IDK if MGM comps resort fees like Caesars properties do for higher tier players (Diamond and Seven Stars). That is why I like Caesars. No resort fees mean I save over $300 when I stay for 1 week. And they comp up to 5 nights of that 1 whole week.
MGM waive resort fees at their gold level
make sure if you are a veteran or active military to let them know. MGM will increase you to pearl status and Caesars Palace will increase you to platinum status.
Which hotel gave you a better comp?
Iâve gotten free comp rooms, free food/drinks, and free-play on slots
I play slots on the my Vegas app & have received some pretty good deals.
MyVegas is awesome. BTW, stay tuned. :)
Great video! I booked a volcano room at the mirage for September 22 but I hear they are dismantling the volcano, should I ask for a complementary upgrade? Coming from Ireland for the 1st time
Hi James. Man, what a great question. As far as I know, they haven't released an end date yet for the volcano, although the rumor has been it will indeed be later this year. I'm not sure if there is much you can do other than calling the property directly to ask to change to a strip view if that's what you want, to see if you can still get it as a comp. They might not since it would be considered an upgrade, and it may not be an option, but it never hurts to ask, right? Thanks so much for watching, and good luck!
@@NickMagnuson thanks for the reply dude! Liked and now subscribed
@@jamesmc6410 Thanks so much!!
Hello Iâm coming going to Vegas for the first time in April for my birthday I have a room booked at 4queens I also already have a mgm club card from Detroit is it a good idea to get more club cards even tho Iâm going to be downtown at 4queens
I have a Wyndham credit card so I did status match and got platinum on my Caesarâs card. I donât gamble. So if you are looking for ideas for your next video, please share what I can do with this platinum tier? Do I show it in restaurants or when I buy show tickets? Does it get me anything? According to the tier chart I donât even get early room check in so not sure of the benefit at this low level?
Thanks for the idea! Iâm not familiar with the specifics as much with Caesars Rewards as I am with MGM Rewards, because Iâve only stayed at MGM properties, but I may need to see what I can find out. đ
How much do you play? I'm mlife gold, gable about $500 per trip and I've never gotten freeplay or food credit
We have a Harrah's here in San Diego. Playing there gets us Vegas comps.
Get the M Life rewards credit card. Double points for gas and groceries. Triple points for purchases at the resort. Automatic upgrade to pearl status and free parking at all mgm properties. I just use mine to buy gas all year and it really adds up.
Not sure about the holiday points... im.from the east coast.. can you order things online
Is it free? Or is there a fee? Or even a yearly fee for the Mlife rewards?
Ceasars properties because as you move up the tier ladder, your rooms are always truly free in vegas. No taxes, no surcharges. MGM even with there match tier charges the fees and taxes so no sense staying there for us. If you play locally where ever you live the comps get multipliers for showing up at any small regional casinos they own. For us Baltimore gives us routinely 10m times credit if we play. MGM in DC gave us plenty of free rooms but now nothing, in vegas they offer me nothing, maybe 1 night. The Wynn after only playing in a few high end poker tournaments has offered great comps. The Borgata in AC now routinely sends me great airfair packages to Atlantic City. We stay Ceasars properties even paid for me and my wife to go to Lake Tahoe all inclusive. And yes those years we were very very up lol. Laurel lounges when open were fantastic and also freee STARBUCKS!!
MLife does comp resort fees for those who qualify.
no ones mentioned if you are married you can combined your cards on the same account so points add up faster
Love the Griffey swag
Sweetest swing of all time!
@@NickMagnuson I named my son after him. I grew up on him. Iâm a SEA guy
BTW, treat yourself to a 100 dollar steak dinner at Golden Steer on the other end of the strip, right next to the Strat. It is easily the best steak on the strip and well worth it. My Wife and I spent about 330 last time and we have zero regrets.
Is that the one with the giant golden cow in front of it lol Iâve always been curious to go there now I HAVE To go!
@@daalv8016 yeah. it is amazing! do it
I gambled at the Caesars property a couple times a month for over a year. I racked up a whopping 53 points on the rewards card. Needless to say ditch the card, wasnât worst lifting my arm up to put it in the slot
Lame! Are you a Vegas local? I hear the rewards are completely different (and basically non-existent) for locals. :-(
One of the biggest things to remember if you use those comps they offer, then donât gamble, those comps will most likely go away. BUT! Like you said. Donât chase comps! Just play what you can afford đ.
Exactly!
Great video. MLIFE has change to MGM REWARDS & has made some changes. Can u make an updated video on this pls. I went to Vegas a few months ago & did notice I didnât get the same amt of points I usually get. Iâm currently @ Pearl level.
Yes, I am definitely planning to make an update video to this when I can. Thanks for watching and commenting. đ
Hello just question how do we make money using 35k reward point at Yamava casino as a new member
I have an MGM card and went to Vegas last month. I still don't get any comp offers even at the cheap properties. I didn't gamble a lot. But do I need to do something else like get the Mastercard in order to see some comp offers? Or is this old news that doesn't really apply now?
Hi Paul, so you got the MGM players card and always put it into the slot machines you gambled on? If you spent money on the slots and were good about making sure you used your players card, I'd be surprised if you weren't getting anything. They aren't ALWAYS offering them either, but this should be a time of year where the offers pick up a little bit, as we exit summer and enter fall. You definitely don't need to get the MGM credit card to receive offers. This video is a year old, and while the offers definitely come and go and change, the advice is still valid.
@@NickMagnuson yeah, admittedly I didn't gamble a ton. We're Pearl status now but no offers yet. I guess maybe it takes a little while. We were just there 3 weeks ago.
Back in May I played craps at New York New York and Excalibur for about 5 hours in one day. My buy in was $300 and I ended up about $100 ahead. I didnât play any slots or gamble any other days. When I got home I had an offer for $60 in free play, $50 food and beverage credit and 3-4 comp nights at the lower tier MGM properties including NYNY.
If youâre going to gamble do it all in a condensed time frame, like in 1 or 2 days instead of spreading it out
Which has better? MLife or Caesars?
I get good comps in Reno at Grand Sierra Resort. I was thinking of a scheme to build points by playing on the roulette machine, not a real table. I'd bet big on red and black and hope it doesn't land on any of the zeros. And maybe I'd hedge my bet with a small bet on the zeros.
Dude! We just got back from Reno, and thatâs where we stayed. It was an AMAZING place to stay with kids so Iâm glad we chose it. I would definitely go back. Iâm going to post a video walk-through on that place at some point. People need to see it. :-)
Thanks for watching!
Bubble craps, (the machine craps on the floor without a dealer) would be WAY better.
Just bet the pass and the dont pass line. The only way you lose any money is with a 12 on the come out room
@@bigeatersclub I was thinking about that today. I could do a bunch of silly bets on craps. I'll be in Reno tomorrow and give them a try. Also from what I understand different machines give a different ratio of comps points. Like for slot machines 1 dollar played = 1 point. It takes 2 dollars played on a video poker machine to get 1 point. I'll see how many points I get for the machines. I do remember getting points for the roulette machine, but I didn't think about trying to figure out the dollar played to pont ratio.I'll give the craps machine a try. Thanks.
@@RichardsWorld dont do the silly bets, the silly bets lose ... the machine might even tell you that you cant earn points on it, because this system really works ..
if you are going to try, put like 20 bucks on the dont pass and the pass line, place no additional bets, if you do this correctly you will lose almost nothing for as long as you choose to stay.
This is a system that can also be used for gambling and losing almost nothing with the purpose of getting as many free drinks as possible
@@bigeatersclub when I said make silly bets, I meant do something I wouldn't do on a real table like bet pass and don't pass, or red and black on a roulette table. I do plan to see how the comp points add up to make sure it's worth risking. Thanks.
Most of those casinos will give automatic upgrade on your card if you are a military or a veteran person
I am playing the my Vegas apps and have a comp for 2 nights at aria in September, and once I get there I will get my m life card and get the ball rolling on even more comps for future trips.
Awesome! I hear the Aria is outstanding, and MyVegas is a great method to get comps too. Enjoy!
You need a M Life card account to book a Comped room on a MGM property. You can sign up online.
Michael warrick I have an m life account I just need them to print out a physical card so I can put the card in the slot machine.
How much did you have to spend in the app to unlock 2 night stays at Aria?
@@katzglass not 1 dime the app is free , it just takes time to build up enough coins to get free rooms. I think I played about 20 minutes a day for a couple of months and have enough coins to get the comp rooms and $50 in free play at aria and still have enough to get a bogo buffet .
You can play MyVegas app to get comps
i usually get 4 free nights in a tower room, 100$ food and 100$ freeplay at MGM Resort.. same with Mandalay! and my card is BLUE
How much did you spend to get such a great offer?
Would there be merit for you and a spouse to play on one card? We do it at our local to build up 1 card fast
Good question! Iâm not positive, but there might be pros and cons. That would build your points up a lot faster for sure. On the other hand, if you each have a card, you both may get comp offers (since theyâre attainable at all tier levels) and you could then book two stays consecutively. Please donât quote me on that, because itâs POSSIBLE there is some fine print that would prevent that, but I would guess that works. đđ»
Hello Nick Iâm from England and hoping to visit Vegas once open to internationals.
Is it worth me getting a card and signing up ? I am hoping to visit again the year after.
Staying for two weeks first. Thinking of staying in one hotel for the duration. Whatâs your opinion please. Thank you Mark.
Hi Mark! Thanks for watching! My main point of this video is that yes, if you're going to go burn through some money anyway, you may as well get that players card and get some reward offers. :-) Now, there's no guarantee what kinds of offers you'll get, because I don't really know what info they base their offers on, but I'm guessing location could be one of those things. But, it's free anr can't hurt!
Have you booked a stay yet? Nothing wrong with booking one place for the duration, unless it's not a nice place, but that is also enough time to move about the strip and spend time in different sections too, but it's really all about preference. :-)
Enjoy!
@@NickMagnuson Thank you for your nice reply. No weâve not booked as yet as still pondering which hotel but MGM or Sahara look the better deals so far for a longer stay.
@@NickMagnuson Like you say thereâs no point in not getting one as the offers could be different for each individual customer. Take care and keep up the great vids my friend. đ
Iâm Pearl with m life and I get comps for Luxor and Excalibur but no free play or resort credit anymore. I did a few months ago. And it wasnât 75$ or 100$ how would I be able to get more comps?
Honestly it's tough to know because I don't have any idea what their formula or algorithm is. I wonder if mine are so good as a low-level player this time because they're trying to get their hooks in me? Seems possible. Thanks for sharing. I might do a follow up addressing some stuff I've seen in the comments, because obviously results may not be consistent for everyone, although my overall point is that if people are going to go burn through some money, you're probably leaving some deals on the table by not getting a card.
If you're betting at a sports book can you out that towards your mlife account?
I didnât think so, because back when I went and used the BetMGM kiosks, I didnât see a place to insert a players card, but if you search MGM Rewards (formerly mlife) and sports betting, it looks like if you have a BetMGM account, you can earn rewards through the app or in person. Unsure of how exactly it works, but I am going to try to find out. A lot has changed and I need to make an updated video anyway.
@@NickMagnuson gracias good sir
During my April visit, I ran $7000.00 through the machines (Pearl Status). And still canât do any better than 4 nights at lower tier hotels or 2 nights at premium hotels. Still paying resort fees and taxes.
I've never understood how the MLife works. We are at pearl level also and go about 2-3 times per year and play around 2k-3k total for the year. You play a lot more and receive the same tier. It is the first time we are at pearl. We have always been at blue tier until now. I though it accumulated since the beginning but they said no it's yearly only.
You need to call and talk to a host, I told them to get me a host. She treated me like a queen, Aerosmith ticket, suite 2 bedroom, $2k free play, $1k resort credit. All free plus limo picking me up.
@@Jane-ot9qj Do all the hosts offer this at any hotel or only MGM?
U can alway complain about room been dirty no hot water , tv not working , Iine was too long and they will wave one or 2 days resort fees!!!!!!!
When using my browser in the marketing pref I WANT to put a check mark on each property I want email from correct?
Good question! I actually haven't messed with the marketing prefs. I don't know if that will actually affect your offers though, because even though I have gotten emails from each property saying things like "I see you haven't stayed with us before, here you go...", I also received some from just general MGM Resorts which still feeds you into the mlife rewards portal where your offers are.
@@NickMagnuson so I've stayed T MGm once...grand 2nd floor. Got comps from playing Nyny and Mgm. Using free room at Vdara just after July 4. What do you think if the Pyramid Premier two queen at Luxor. Toss up between that and Aria. I get 100 bucks resort credit vs 50 at Aria. 50 bucks gaming at both.
@@decafcoffee73 I haven't stayed at Aria yet, but it is a realllly nice property! The pyramid premier room at Luxor should be nice too because I think they've all been newly remodeled, and I actually like the Luxor personally, but if I had those two offers, I'd choose Aria. Nicer property, and better location. Depends on how much you need that extra $50 in resort credits, I suppose.
How do I get rewards at Treasure Island
Huh? I'm Pearl status as a result of hotel, spa and food charges. I don't get offered any comps. Maybe it's because I don't gamble at all?
Bill everything to the room. No need to worry about receipts
We talk about how comps work all the time on our many FB Groups... Especially our MGM group. Remember that comps are based on play and it doesn't matter what tier you are to get comps
So gold gets the same comps as diamond/7-star?
I didn't get nearly free play as somebody diamond and they got buffets as well.
Are comp rooms still available on the weekend in 2022?
Not very many based on what I've seen. I'll have to do an updated video soon about this!
I like downtown Vegas, haven't in paid for a room or food for 15 years.. craps player
Nice Griff jersey
Thanks!
I love MGM Resort and their hotels , The best in Vegas . they are offering really good deals no matter if you new . Highly recommend everyone to stick with MGM property .
Do you use sports book also?
I love sports betting. Iâm 75% sure you can link your Bet MGM account to your MGM Rewards account (which ARE separate accounts), and earn benefits when you spend money in the sportsbook, but Iâd prefer to double check that before you take me at my word. These are the types of questions I will try to address in an upcoming âupdateâ video. Thanks!
@@NickMagnuson thanks. Just learned from you that they are separate accounts.
I just make my sport bet in person and give them my mlife card to give me points
1:17 got me in tears
At the time it was true! đ€Ł
How many points did you accumulate before they comp you 4 nights?
I currently have 711 points on my account, but I have no idea what the threshold or formula is.
Does it work for tables?
Supposedly it does now per the MGM Rewards website. At the time I recorded this video, table games were not included under the old mlife program.
I just booked NYNY for 8 nights in May 2022 at an average rate of 22.24 with a $ 50.00 resort credit and $ 20.00 free play. When I get closer I will use My Vegas points to get some additional freebies. I also check regularly to see if the rates have gone down and will cancel and rebook.
Excellent advice, Richard! We're definitely going to talk more about MyVegas, because people who aren't using that are missing out. :)
I am both MGM and Caesars also. MGM has changed in 2022. Compiling tier credits much more difficult. Platinum in 2022 but will go down to Gold in 2023. Really no difference between the two levels.
Thanks for that update, Cindy! Yeah, from what I hear itâs changed a lot, so Iâll see if I can do a refresher on MGM in the next month or so. :)
I want how u got comps
im going next week, getting 3 comp nights with $40 free play and a $50 resort credit at Aria
That should be fun! Not a bad little offer, especially as the offers in general have been pretty lackluster lately for most people it sounds like. :)
