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.

Based on my play, I get four free nights, and it varies but the max food and beverage I’ve seen is $450 and the max free I receive is $900 if I come mid week or 600 any other time. The best thing to me is that a limo picks me up at the airport and takes me back. They are very welcoming. I know it’s because they like me right? Lol.

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.

@NickMagnuson2 жыл бұрын
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!

Good question! I’m 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 they’re attainable at all tier levels) and you could then book two stays consecutively. Please don’t quote me on that, because it’s POSSIBLE there is some fine print that would prevent that, but I would guess that works. 👍🏻

@@dinkasmadre4782 The thing is, is there is no "formula" that I'm aware of because there are also going to be times where they aren't going to be as generous with comps, depending on the current demand for rooms, probably. So I couldn't tell you. I would assume it doesn't matter if you spread small amounts over a hundred machines, or play heavily on a few. I spread out the money over 4 days, like I mentioned. The real point of the video is just.... gamble the way you were going to gamble anyway, except make sure you put that players card in each time to rack up points, and regardless how good the comps are at any given time, it'll be better than if you hadn't used the card.

I didn't see any information for how you actually get the comps, this was just signing up for the rewards program and navigating the portal. Which games/how much/how long are you gambling? Did you take a marker out. None of this was discussed.
@NickMagnuson2 жыл бұрын
Hi Michael - At around the 8:00 mark, I mention that I spent just a few hundred dollars. I also said that this applies to slots, and that you can also charge meals and other things to your room and that also counts. Table games don’t apply, or at least they didn’t when I recorded this. It was a mistake to not mention that. Also as an FYI, I have heard that sports bets can be applied as well, but I don’t think that was the case back when I made this video in 2021. While I could have gone into my account and found the exact amount I gambled, I also tried to make the point that you should NOT try to chase rewards. Do what you were going to do, just use your card. Why? Because nowhere is it published how much you must spend to receive different offers. It’s pretty much at their discretion, and other variables such as geography factor in as well (eg Vegas locals don’t tend to receive offers because the goal of the company is to get people in from out of town to spend more money). I definitely could have explained more of that in the video, so I will definitely take your feedback to heart for the next time I make a video on this subject. Considering this is one of the first videos I made, I’d like to think I’ll be a bit more organized the next time around. 😊 Sorry the value wasn’t there for you on this one, but I appreciate you taking the time to watch it and provide feedback.

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.

Keep track of your losses and the approximate cost you would have had to have paid for the comps. To me losing money is not entertainment. Every single one of the games in any casino gives the casino more chances of winning than you have. In the long run, every casino operator will tell you, you will lose anything you want and more. If you're gambling for entertainment and can afford to lose money... Go for it.
