  • 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! I’m 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), it’s 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 I’ll try to do an update or Q&A video soon about this.

    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 😊

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. I’ll be going back to Vegas next week to play more at the MGM properties! Great video. Thanks for the advice!

    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.

    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.

      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.

I think it’s just the way you ask if you sound convincing, maybe it’s the New York accent? They write it down on a piece of scrap paper and sign it. I live here in Vegas since 2001 it’s 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 don’t check your ticket all. I just did that successfully last Saturdays concert was fun time.

      @@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 it’s 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 it’s kinda about how you ask. I actually don’t gamble cuz I’m too cheap lol. But I’ve 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 I’m bringing visitors from New York the hosts seem to like that. And let’s 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 don’t even worry. To me it was sometimes just a fake to see what I can get for my family when they visit lol. But it’s a hassle too. Even to use the card in the machine every time is a pain in the ass lol

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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!!

      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.

    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 it’s changed a lot, so I’ll see if I can do a refresher on MGM in the next month or so. :)

      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. :)
