How many points are needed to make it worthwhile? I have 4300, and I'm assuming they are worthless. Anyone have some info?
Well, to give you an idea, 30,000 gives you $100 in free play - or did last year. The catalog for 2014 isn't available yet. I don't thing 4,300 is going to get you much. I ended up with around 43,000 I think - got a crystal necklace probably valued at around $150. If you are already in Vegas during that time, it's kind of fun to go, but I certainly wouldn't have flown in special for it.
IMHO, it's not worth making a special trip unless the dollar value of your points exceeds the cost of the trip. I will be attending the Bellagio HGS event and attending the TR gift event next door even though at TR I only have enough for a $10 gas card. http://www.holidaygiftshoppecatalog.com/Catalog/Search.aspx?mode=3&min=0&max=4999 for the gifts under 5000 points.
I only figured out what this was last night and I just happen to be in Vegas from November 6 - 10. I have 18,500 points which seems to be enough for some decent stuff and with me being there for all 5 of the days, I think I'll be able to earn some more points while I'm there to further increase what I get. So yeah, even if I lose big, at least I'll be coming home with something! (sort of, they ship everything, even to canada, which is nice, since there was a cooking set and a toaster I really liked but didn't want to travel with, so getting it shipped home to Toronto for free = win) MY BAD: I was thinking of the Total Rewards one. I don't have enough for anything exciting from Mlife
