myVEGAS is one of my favorite ways to get FREE rooms, meals, and shows in Las Vegas. The best part is that you don’t have to gamble any real money to do it, and you can earn rewards by playing games from home before your trip!
I just download the MYVegas app last week and after just over a week I am level 21 and loyalty points of 2,180. What I am looking for is tips to increase my loyalty points without spending cash to upgrade my coins. My coins are usually at 0 but have been as high as 3 million before losing them all again. Many people still aren’t comfortable heading to Las Vegas or other gaming destinations yet, so they don’t have a way to use their myVEGAS Loyalty Points for Rewards. MyVEGAS is giving you a few options with their myVEGAS Rewards @Home Fall Frenzy Giveaways, including.
myVEGAS is a suite of four different slot games that can be played on your phone and/or Facebook. Since we’ve all already forfeited our privacy to Mark Zuckerberg, we might as well reap the benefits; linking your account to Facebook will help you earn more points, and allow you to backup and combine your points from all four games to maximize redemptions. You can download/visit the apps by clicking the convenient links below:
The points you earn through gameplay can be redeemed for a variety of comps through various partners, including MLife resorts. This includes the following casino/hotels in Las Vegas:
These comps range from discounted rooms and BOGO buffet deals, all the way to free show tickets and free nights (minus the resort fee). Comps vary by hotel, as does pricing.
You will play games using myVEGAS chips, denoted by the blue V. These are what you will wager and win/lose on each game. You will receive a large chip bonus once each day that you sign into a game; if you sign in for consecutive days, these bonus chips will be multiplied. There are also smaller bonuses that can be collected every two hours (after redeeming the BONUS, a countdown timer will appear), as well as gifts that may appear in your inbox if you send/receive chips from friends through Facebook.
There will be multiple pop ups that will offer you deals on chip packages for purchase. You can do these if you would like, but you do not have to! I’ve never made any in-app purchases, and I have still redeemed multiple comps.
As you play, you earn Loyalty Points (LPs), which are denoted by the gold coins with a V on them. There should be a display in the middle of the top bar that shows how many LPs you have collected. These are what you will redeem for comps.
In this screenshot from an ill-fated blackjack run, I have 67,818 LPs and 667 coins.
The bar on the left indicates the progress towards the next disbursement of LPs. The sliding meter will fill with each bet, and after you reach the end, the level on the coin will increase. Once the coin gets full, they will float up to the balance in the top bar. The meters will fill faster the more chips that you’re betting, but be careful not to run out of chips like I did, or you can’t earn any LPs until you get more chips!
The best strategy to maximize your LP earnings is to bet as many chips as you can. Some of the games offer challenges, which can help you earn more chips and/or LPs when you complete them.
Signing in daily and maintaining your streak will ensure that you get the most possible chips, which will help you earn LPs faster.
One counterintuitive option once you’ve got a decent amount of LPs accumulated is to not play for a prolonged period. I (and many members of the myVEGAS Friends Rock Facebook Group) have experienced a glitch/feature (nobody is sure if it’s intentional) where if you uninstall the app and don’t play for a couple of months, your LPs skyrocket. This happened to me when I jumped from 40,000 to 160,000 LPs after not playing for 3 months. Your mileage may vary.
You can redeem your Loyalty Points for comps by selecting the “Rewards” menu on the bottom of the screen. Here, you can browse by property, price, or categories. Looking around here can be useful, as it will give you an idea of how many LPs you need to earn for your desired comps.
The rewards are restocked periodically; usually between 10am and 2pm CST. So if a reward you want is sold out, keep checking back daily until it’s available. I was able to secure the popular LOVE comp ticket after checking obsessively for a few days, so don’t give up!
Before purchasing a reward, be sure to read the terms and conditions. There are often blackout dates or additional requirements (like staying at an M Life property or spending a certain amount). It will also list the expiration date, and how long you have from “purchasing” the reward to needing to redeem it.
You will need an M Life card in your name to redeem any rewards.
If you purchase a reward and are unable to use it, you can go to your “wallet” in the app and return it, and you will receive your LPs back.
I am a member of the myVEGAS Friends Rocks group on Facebook, which has tons of useful information geared towards optimal myVEGAS earning and redemption. It is a closed group, however you shouldn’t have any difficulty getting accepted.
I highly recommend joining if you’d like to maximize your value from myVEGAS rewards; they are a treasure trove of knowledge, experience, and expertise, and know far more than I do!
I have redeemed loyalty points for the following rewards:

Yes, the myVEGAS app is 100% free to play. You can redeem real life rewards in Las Vegas and other locations without ever paying a cent into the app.
There is the option to spend real life money in the app to earn points and rewards faster, but this is not mandatory at all.
This varies greatly depending on what reward you are looking to earn. The most basic rewards are only 1,000 loyalty points for 25% discounts at the Luxor or the Excalibur.
Many players report earning their first 1,000 loyalty points within the first day of playing.
The most premium rewards is 200,000 for a free night stay at the Aria hotel. From personal experience, this takes about 75 days or less of frequent playing time to earn. Your experience will vary based on promotions going on and frequency of play.
One source of myVEGAS FAQ confusion is the process for getting your Vegas rewards. In order to redeem a reward from myVEGAS, you must have a free MLife account. MLife is the rewards program for all MGM Resorts at Las Vegas. With an MLife account, you’ll be able to:
All Las Vegas visitors should have an MLife account because it is free and gives you extra perks.
Click here to register with MLife now so that you don’t have to when it’s time to redeem a reward from myVEGAS.
The myVEGAS app has a limit of 3 premium awards redeemed at one time. If you are planning a trip to Las Vegas, it’s best to earn up a large stack of loyalty points and then decide what the best choices for redemption are closer to your departure date.
Users who spend real money in the app are rewards by being able to redeem more than 3 rewards at a time.
myVEGAS rewards do tend to go in and out of stock so it’s best to be flexible when buying rewards.
It is highly recommended that you redeem rewards in the myVEGAS app BEFORE you arrive in Las Vegas. The app uses your location when it is open. Residents of Vegas and people already in the city do not see the same selection of rewards as those outside.
In order to have full access to rewards and prizes, you should redeem before you arrive in Las Vegas.
Do you have any other myVEGAS FAQ questions to ask? Are you having trouble earning gold coins or redeeming awards inside of the app?
