5 myVEGAS Rewards to Avoid

4 Comments

Using myVEGAS Rewards can help you make the most of your trip. Here are some Rewards that I’d suggest skipping, though.

Aria 1 Night Comp

The Aria Comp Room is nice, but the 2 Night Comp is actually 2,000 LP cheaper and tends to have similar dates available (if there are 2 consecutive nights available on the 1 night comp Reward, they are typically available for the 2 night comp Reward). This does assume you can see both Rewards.

NYNY Bar At Times Square $50 comp

This one was a big disappointment. I got it with what I thought were reasonable expectations. I was going solo and I wanted to get one, perhaps two really nice drinks. That was not an option. They have Johnny Walker Blue priced not to sell (about $80 for a shot was what I was told). The bartender actually said they priced it that high so that people wouldn’t use this comp for it. I didn’t need something that fancy, but the next step down was a big drop to call liquors for about $12 a glass (the same things they can comp if you are playing video poker).  Even with a group there would have been no value in it.

Any Luxor Rewards you have to go to the Mlife desk to redeem

This has less to do with the Rewards themselves and more to do with the long wait times at the Luxor Mlife desk.  On a few trips now, I have ended up not using Luxor Rewards I had purchased due to the long wait.  Show tickets and Room Rewards are OK since you handle those online.

Excalibur Room Comps

They are easy to get, but you really don’t want to stay there. The 2 night comp costs the same number of LPs as a single ticket to the Australian Bee Gees show. The single night comp is cheaper than the brunch comp that requires a stay at Excalibur. Think about that.
And you still have to pay a resort fee (currently $35/nt plus tax).

Foundation Room Admission for 2:

I love the Foundation Room.  But you can get in for free during happy hour (5p-8p every day except Saturday) and stay as long as you want. You can also get free or reduced admission just by RSPV’ing.

  1. I disagree about the NYNY $50 comp. My husband and I were able to get about 7+ drinks during happy hour, and they served their purpose. Free is free.

    1. One of the wonderful things about Las Vegas is that it offers a lot of options to suit different needs and desires. I’m glad the Reward served your purpose.

  2. How do I get the two night Aria reward to show up? I checked after I bought chips and I have the 4 in 30, but I don’t have the two night Aria available.
