myVEGAS Room Rewards Availability Calendars for 2021

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.

Mac King at Harrahs

Mac King’s Comedy Magic show makes me really happy. It is a family friendly (very kid oriented, really) magic and comedy show that still has a lot to offer adults.

At its core, the show is a magic show with rope tricks, card tricks, sleight of hand, fire, some magical appearances and disappearances and his signature goldfish tricks. The show is really well written and has some finely crafted humor woven into it. (something you can hone during a show that has been running for almost 20 years). There is also a lot of room for improv during the audience participation segment. (a few for kids and a few for adults).

Don’t let the afternoon time slot (1p and 3p) fool you. This is a high quality show. The afternoon time slot is a reflection of the kid/family friendly focus, not the show quality. It isn’t as flashy and boisterous as Penn & Teller, but it shares a lot of the sensibilities for a much more reasonable price.

2019 Book Suggestions

1 Comment

The beginning of the year is the best time to get the new edition of a few of my favorite guide/resource books.

The American Casino Guide has information about casinos across the United States as well as guidance on how to play many casino games. The big draw for this guide, though, is the coupon section.
At the beginning of January, I was able to turn The D $25 Matchplay and Push Your Bet on 22 into a $50 profit, more than covering the price of the book.
Those coupons are also the reason many people like myself buy the book year after year. Here is the  2019 coupon list.

Eating Las Vegas is another handy resource. The in-depth reviews and commentary are for higher end restaurants, but it has info on more accessible restaurants, too. They also include some good tips for having the best dining experience whether you are dining solo or with a group.
Most of the reviews are Strip-based, but there are local options, too.

myVEGAS Overview

I’ve been playing and writing about myVEGAS since it started. It has evolved a lot over the years. While I have discussed many aspects of it, some of that info is only in the comments or is spread across multiple posts.  This is my attempt at sharing as much as possible in one post (with links to  a few existing posts with more detail).

What is myVEGAS?

myVEGAS is a family of games produced by PLAYSTUDIOS.   The games currently include myVEGAS and myKonamiSlots on Facebook as well as myVEGAS Slots, MyKonamiSlots, PopSlots and myVEGAS Blackjack for Android and iOS devices. All of these games are linked through Facebook and you need a Facebook account in order to earn Rewards.

What’s all the fuss about?
