Wish you ran better this trip but still envious af that I won't be back until September or October. You do Vegas the way I prefer it done. Relaxed and comfortable.

I’m not saying thanks yet - you’ve got more in you.

Start the Rocky music...you’ve got this!

Well you weren’t quite wrong. The perfect amount to keep Uncle Sam out of it...



Another small hit...



And then oh so close to “who gives a sh*t, I’ll worry about it next April”...one more coin, and that was at least $5095. $7.50/spin on this screenshot in case you’re wondering.



Off to bed!!

I'd be shocked if even the daily old lady slot junkies know what they are looking at when they hit a big jackpot.

Small update. Sorry things got busy upon return.

I came to Vegas with 0 tier credits (they reset in September with Mlife).

After the trip...



Ultimately I came back -$5.7k give or take on gaming (over 200k coin-in on slots alone).

While my TR may imply only winning with its pics, that’s our nature is it not when we’re on a trip? Unfortunately the reality is lots of input, not as much output.

Having said that, I had a blast. I can tell you that before I return, I will be speaking with Total Rewards about things. Overall, I like to play poker, but I’m a fiend for other things.

I honestly don’t feel Mlife is worth it anymore (or maybe it never was). I’ve been Platinum for three years now (four of you count the next year for which I just qualified), and I’m honestly not sure what the point is.

Maybe Total Rewards is better. Thanks for following and sorry for delay on the recap!

Can’t wait ‘til next time!

yeah MLife is a joke, your theo loss for the trip has to be over $10K for sure and they didn't even comp you an extra day? they should be on their hands and knees begging you not to switch to CET

Ha! Well, to be honest, at your level of play you might not get a lot more at CET. 200k coin-in is 20k tier credits at CET, good for Diamond status, which is 2nd from the top tier. You get free parking and valet, which you don't use, and no resort fees, which you probably don't pay on comped rooms anyway. Diamond does get to jump to the front of most lines, behind only 7 Star.

The next tier is 150k tier credits. Your other gambling would have to be pretty big to get you another 130k tier credits. It boils down to what they decide to offer you as far as comped rooms and food. There's nothing in the CET system in black and white for the public to see, other than at 7 Star, where you can get a free room anytime. You won't be sure until you try CET on a trip. You can get a tier match from CET to Diamond if you're Platinum at Mlife right now on a promo offer.

his coin in only accounts for 70-80K tier points at MLife, he must've put in a ton of play at the tables - if he was with CET this solo would've landed him about half way to 7 star

just look at the perks that Leon gets from Wynn and his per trip theo is much lower (ADT is prob slightly higher tho)

I did put in a lot at the tables. $50 avg bet (I checked with our boss every time I played) over nearly 6 days.

Do you also get the 4 nights free at every resort kind of thing? My coin-in was 10% of yours (table games and VP) and I receive offers every month now for a year.

As far as CET goes, same thing there but I get no offers at all except for regular comp nights at below average properties - so yeah Mlife is way better.
