myVEGAS Room Rewards Availability Calendars for 2021

February 22, 2021 Mark's Las Vegas 10 Comments

Although the Rewards say to “Redeem by December 5”, the current Travel Window is only through September 30, 2021.
There is generally a lot of availability between now and then. I’d expect the travel windows to extend a bit further soon.

As a general rule, Comp Room Rewards are not available for weekends, although Park MGM is showing the weekend of September 10&11 as available. The 25% and Fixed Rate discount Rewards are available for almost every day. You can usually get just as good a deal if not better simply by logging in to your Mlife account or using a readily available deal from a site like my MarksLasVegasDeals.com site.

If you have never purchased myVEGAS chips, you might not be able to see all of the comp Rewards in the app. I discuss this in my Getting More myVEGAS Rewards post.

For additional information on redeeming the Rewards, visit my myVEGAS Reward Redemption Processes post. Also check out the 3 in 30 post and Comp Reward Limitations posts for important details. It may be helpful to read my Mlife Players Club info as well.

I have not created graphics for it yet, so here they are in text format.

Many people still aren’t comfortable heading to Las Vegas or other gaming destinations yet, so they don’t have a way to use their myVEGAS Loyalty Points for Rewards. MyVEGAS is giving you a few options with their myVEGAS Rewards @Home Fall Frenzy Giveaways, including a rent raffle which will cover your rent for a year.

There are two Reward options for this. One is a single entry for 1000LPs. The other is five entries for 5000Lps. Each of those are limited to 17 Rewards per account, so you can get a maximum of 102 entries for player.

Can Online Live Dealers Really Offer a Las Vegas Experience?

October 5, 2020 Mark's Las Vegas

Live Dealers and the Casino Experience

There’s been a perpetual pattern of rising interest in online betting, accelerated by the global pandemic. But can online casino live dealers really rival the Las Vegas experience?

Things that Cannot be Replicated

There are certain aspects of the real world casino that online betting establishments cannot replicate, however hard they try. As with video games, sights and sounds can be reproduced pretty accurately, but smell is a crucial part of triggering memory and, as any lover of old books will tell you, the electronic version just isn’t quite the same. That does cut both ways, of course. You’ll never have passive smoking when you’re playing from the comfort of your own home. You’ll also never suffer the tedium of traffic woe, or have to go without a drink because you’re driving home.

myVEGAS Room Rewards 2020

December 13, 2018 Mark's Las Vegas 136 Comments

This post is for archival purposes only. Please visit the updated 2021 post here http://www.markslasvegas.com//myvegas-room-rewards-calendars-2021/

(updated April 25, 2020)
myVEGAS no longer has a site where they post all off the availability calendars, but I have been compiling availability calendars for as many Room Rewards as I can. All calendars through the end of August 2020 are up now. A few of the Comp Room Rewards include weekend comps.

UPDATE Apr 30: MGM Resorts has moved their reopening target to June 1st. The May dates on the calendars have been canceled.

They have also added this disclaimer:
“This reward may be purchased immediately and will be valid for future use. – The redemption duration for this reward is 99 days or Sept 15th; whichever comes first – Players are encouraged to keep these rewards in their wallet in order to plan their future trips once travel restrictions are repealed – All rewards and offers are subject to change without notice as we decipher the best way to support our players future redemption plans and partner resources and availability.”

When you check the Reward, the “Redeem reward by” date is the date you need to book the room by. The actual stay can still be for any available date on the calendar during the travel window.

The 1 Night and 2 Night Comp Reward Travel Windows are currently through August 31, 2020

If you have never purchased myVEGAS chips, you might not be able to see all of the comp Rewards in the app. I discuss this in my Getting More myVEGAS Rewards post.
