In general slot players (like me:p) get better offers than table game people. Also many of my offers come in the mail and are NOT listed on mlife.com.
PS: For many of my TR offers, they also come by mail and are not listed on harrahs.com--but harrahs makes booking rooms very easy.

Steve,

Did you book your offer through a host or mlife.com?

I am rather disappointed with what I see at mlife.com. It was my first trip that I played heavy (in my opinion) at an MGM property (Aria). I stayed across the strip from Aria at PH since I get comp rooms automatically from TR. As from my previous post, I played about 9.5 hours for 3 days at about $350 per hand in baccarat (verified by a host). The host says she can comp me free rooms/limo etc but when I log into mlife.com, I see rooms available but are at a rate. Even rooms at lower end props charge me. I was hoping I can book free rooms, offers, etc like what I do sometimes with TR but even with my Gold status at MGM, I don't get free rooms automatically? I don't get it. Hopefully it will just take them time to update my account?

If I have to go through a host every time, I will probably just stick with my Diamond status at Caesars.

Thanks for the info. Before, when you call PlayersClub, were they able to book comp rooms as well without an offer code or was an offer code necessary?

Thanks for the responses guys. Did the old Players Club give out shopping money, gift cards or cruises? I just really want to compare if mlife will give comps as good as TR's.

The reason why I hate going through a host is when I go with my GF, I don't really gamble as much as if I go by myself or with my friends. I don't want my host to give me a stink eye just because every other 3 trips I go, I don't play. With TR, I book rooms online if I was to go with my GF and rooms with my host when I plan to play big.

In the MGM system (apparently) it does, my slot hostess at Mandalay Bay said she gets "credits" when she does the booking, ditto for Monte Carlo.

This Mlife article in Vegas Tripping might be of interest to some.

I am quite dissapointed in mlife. I just called the players club and they told me that I only have discounted rooms and that I would have to wait until next quarter to receive any other offers. Keep in mind, it was my first time using my card coming over from TR and I spent 10 hours avg 350$ per bet. The host said she can comp me this and that but I was hoping I could get comp rooms the easy way like with my TR.

I just checked my acct and it shows 744k+--why the sudden decrease. I got shuttled around to a few agents until I spoke to someone who knew: as you earn points they roll off the acct after 12 months, so even though the mlife system just started the tier points total actually is cumulative for 12 months back. Status In MLIFE, once earned, is good for 1 year from that date.
[In Harrahs system you retain status (once earned) until March of the following year--but on 1/1 of each year your base points get reset to 0].
PS: That I had to speak with several agents before I got an answer signals (to me) that they did not plan the MLIFE system too well.:td:

Back in Vegas again. I posted last month a bit about Mlife at Aria. This time I am at Monte Carlo in a Monaco suite (finally updated). My play last night consisted of a mix of slots and BJ. I checked this morning and my BJ play was 3hrs 5 min at an average bet of $350. That play yielded $81 in ExpressComps. Since I am now supposed to use those comps for meals, shows, etc and not get anything more from my host, I would say those pretty much suck. Of course, it really doesn't matter much when figuring comps, but between 2 MGM casinos last night I lost $9500 on BJ and slots. $81???? Hmmmmm. Once again, the time, play and comps were all verified today.

Table players (with decent action) should still get discretionary comps.

What did your host say, when you asked for charges to be covered?
