MyVegas App and Facebook Rewards Games

If you are a frequent traveler to Las Vegas you have probably heard about the MyVegas App and Facebook Rewards Games. They are various games that you can play on your smart devices and your Facebook account. Playing the games will earn you real rewards in Las Vegas such as show tickets and buffets. Playing the game is 100% free but you can buy in game currency (chips) if you want a chance at better rewards.

Is MyVegas legit and is it free to play?

I have been playing MyVegas since 2014 and I can tell you 100% that the game is legit. We have cashed in a ton of prizes over the years such as show tickets to Ka and Beatles Love, numerous free buffets, freeplay and other dinging rewards. Yes the game is also free to play. Without spending any money you can earn real rewards in Vegas and other cities. It just takes playing the game daily to earn rewards.

What games are there available to play?

There are a number of games in the MyVegas realm available to play. They are split between what is available on the App and Facebook. The App games include MyVegas, Blackjack, MyKonami and PopSlots. Facebook games include MyVegas and you can play MyKonami as well but it is a mirror of the app game. The MyVegas on Facebook is a unique version over the app. They are all the same game with the same reward pool. You have to link them through your Facebook account in order to pool your reward currency (LP’s) into one pot.

What rewards are available in MyVegas and what are the requirements?

You are currently allowed to cash in 3 Premium rewards over a rolling 30 day period. The 30 day clock starts when you use the reward in Vegas and not when you purchase it. It’s basically 3 Premium rewards per trip per user. The rewards will be listed a Premium when you click on them. Premium rewards are generally hotel stays, buffets, free play and show tickets.

Premium rewards will also require a stay at an MGM resort. A stay can be a comp’d stay except in the case of Free play rewards which require paid stays.

You are allowed to use as many other rewards as you can afford over the same trip. Note you cannot buy unlimited 2-1 Buffets for example. Each reward can only be purchased once until the reward pool is refreshed which may be a couple of times a year.

Keep updated with our MyVegas category for more tips and tricks. We will update this guide in the future.

MyVegas rewards game

MyVegas – MyKonami Free play

The MyVegas MyKonami Free play reward is one of the better Free play rewards for those staying at MGM Resorts and those that aren’t, The reward is part of the MyVegas series of games and is available for play on your smart devices as well as Facebook on your computer.

MyKonami Game

The game can be played two ways either through an app on your smart-device or on Facebook. They are both the same game and is just mirrored across both devices.

The game is part of the MyVegas series and rewards count against your Three Premium Reward limit. You do not get an extra Three Premium Rewards by playing this game.

The Reward

The reward is $25 of Free play and currently costs $100,000 LPs.  At the Aria the reward costs $150,000 LPs and requires a two night stay. The reward is also a Premium Reward.

The reward must be redeemed at the Mlife Desk of the hotel you purchased the reward of. If you purchased Luxor, Bellagio and Mirage rewards as  your Premium Three you must go to each hotels Mlife Desk to have the Free play loaded onto your players card.

The reward states you must use the Free play on a MyKonami game but you can use it on any non-progressive game. You know the ones that are no fun.

You can also redeem your reward and stack it for use at any hotel. If you purchase three of the rewards and then get it loaded on your card at each hotel you are free to redeem the $75 reward at any Mlife property.

All of the other Free play rewards can only be used if you are paying for your hotel stay. If you are staying on a comp’d stay either through MyVegas or an Mlife offer you cannot use Free play rewards. MyKonami is the exception to the rule.

There however have been reports of Mlife desks not honoring this and denying the reward because of comp’d stays.

Best Apps to Use When Visiting Las Vegas

Having a good collection of Apps on your smartphone can be important when visiting Las Vegas. There are so many options when it comes to entertainment, shows, dining and attractions. Having the right Apps on your iPhone, Android or tablet can save you time maneuvering between properties and find you unique places to visit.

Best Apps to Use When Visiting Las Vegas

Google Maps

Vegas is enormous and there are a zillion food, drink and entertainment options. Admitted it’s easy to get directions from hotel staff, visitors and there is lots of signage. Having a decent map app can help you figure out fast where you need to go and Google Maps will even give you directions to get there. What we like best is that you can pre-download the entire Vegas region to your phone so that you can use it if you find yourself with no cell coverage.

Best Apps to Use When Visiting Las Vegas

Uber and Lyft

Both Uber and Lyft are solid options for travel in Las Vegas. They have their own pick up and drop off spots and there are plenty of drivers so getting a ride never takes long. Rideshare is pretty smooth in Las Vegas. Read our ride share Location post for pick up and drop off spots at Current Uber and Lyft Pick Up and Drop off Locations in Las Vegas.

Open Table

Las Vegas has amazing and unique dining options. Restaurants can be busy as well and we love to make reservations through Open Table. It saves time and effort when making dining reservations. We also love to look up places that we might want to visit, read the reviews and browse the photos.

Best Apps to Use When Visiting Las Vegas

Groupon and Travel Zoo

The two powerhouses of group buying in Las Vegas. We rarely head to Las Vegas without a handful of purchases on these two apps. You can get amazing deals on attractions and activities, food and drink and show tickets. We are fans of the deals for The High Roller and discounts at restaurants such as $50 for $30. One of the great deals that comes and goes are discounted shopping cards at Miracle Miles Shopping Malls. They will basically sell 1/2 price cards for use at all shops. We stocked up on drinks at ABC and Vegas Knights gear at Lids.

Players Clubs Apps

We always have the main players clubs apps loaded on our phones when we head to Vegas. Especially the for the hotel that we are staying at. Mainly we have Mlife, Total Rewards and B Connected as those are the hotels that we frequent. They are great apps for checking on property maps, entertainment schedules, dining options and for checking your Players Clubs standing and points.

TravelVegas

This was the one Vegas specific app that we like to download for out trip. It has a number of guides, maps and attraction listings. What we like about it is that it takes all of the Groupon, Travel Zoo and other deals websites and lists them in one handy place. It also allows you to bring up a map and it shows all of the deals in your proximity.

My Vegas

MyVegas is a game played on Facebook Android and iPhone. You play the games with chips to earn loyalty points which you can trade for freebies at Las Vegas hotels, restaurants and attractions. On Facebook you can play MyVegas and My Konami. On your smartphone or tablet you play MyVegas, My Konami, Pop Slots and Blackjack. You sync all of the games with your Facebook id so that your loyalty points all go to the same pot.

If you have not heard of the game before and think it’s a scam it is most certainly not. We have personally cashed in free tickets to KA, Beatles Love, 2-1 Terry Factor tickets, numerous buffets, attractions such as the Secret Garden as well as free nights at The Mirage.

We are going to do a big MyVegas post soon which will give you tips and tricks to get the most out of the game.
