    I had a three night Aria offer (up to three nights + $100 resort credit) yesterday. Booked immediately and got three free (Wed-Thur-Fri) and Sat at around $220 or so. I jumped on it because it was a better total cost than the Crown & Anchor offer ($730 or so for three nights on that one--with fees/taxes versus $405 for four nights with the new one). The resort credit is $100 less but the room is for one extra night and costs over $300 less.

    There is still a Mirage offer through August 15th showing. I had a Monte Carlo one before but it is gone...

    Count me in as one who will not go back without a comp. I can get rooms other places if the Aria no longer wants my business. I still get teasers from Wynncore and Cosmo. My last set of offers were my best ever from MLife, suites everywhere but Aria and bellagio with at least $200 in RCs. I get that weird Monte Carlo offer, never played or stayed there, I also have a decent offer from B that I could use but nothing else right now. Looking to book for Memorial Day, I might just call VIP services.

    I usually get 2-3 nights comp with some RC and Freeplay. I just finished a decent play trip at NYNY about 5 weeks ago and have no offers across the board.

    I called NYNY VIP and they said I should get offers but it may take 1-3 months. I guess we will see.

    I had an MGM Grand-specific Winter Buzz offer come online overnight, good Feb 15 - Aug 15, book by Mar 15. 3 nights, $100 Freeplay, $100 Resort Credit. So that's a reduction from $150 Freeplay in my previous offer. It could reflect either my (basically) no-play single night booking at MGM Grand last July, or my recent lower-than-usual-play ($2,250 coin in/night) stay at Luxor, or both. Or just be a general cutback.

    One note: in the website offer, there's no mention of freeplay. But the email I got specifies it.

    Will be interesting to see what ends up coming through from Luxor and Corporate.

    Same boat here...... really good corporate offer last quarter for 3 nights suite (2 nights Aria / Bellagio), $250 FP / $200 FB. Luxor offer included limo service. Offers disappeared end of January. I have flights booked for April 30 so decided to call VIP services as others have suggested. They wouldn't help one bit other than to patch me through to the property I wanted to stay at. I got patched through to Luxor as I put through 35K coin in slots there on 4 day trip last year. VIP services at Luxor said there are currently no offers in your account and nothing we can do right now. Not even an offer for a casino rate. Response was "wait a few weeks in case something shows up". Mlife is quickly becoming dead to me. Time to move on!

    I would say to all that you should just call for your offers. I just got off the phone with VIP services at Aria. Nothing on my MLife offer page but they set me up with the same offer I used for the SB. The Rep said she's had several people call and say they don't see offers but should have them. She wasn't sure what's up with their system. I'm not saying that you should just assume that the offers you had in January you still have, but it doesn't hurt to call and ask.

    Now it's time to set up a new countdown timer. I'm going for Memorial Day.

    Well here's mine which I just checked now, Aria and Bellagio only shows 2 days free room offer Mirage showing 3 days offer - yup this is nuts I usually get all 3 days offer for those hotels not to mention usual stupid corp offers 2 days w some FB to other property's but today it doesn't show any. I don't know when they are start offering. But as my host always have said "don't rely on Mlife offers rather contact the host directly" but then again in my opinion sometimes host doesn't exactly top of their games and doesn't respond right away.

    Its been 3 weeks since all of my corporate offers disappeared too. Only 1 property specific offer left. Seems like too much time has passed for it to be a glitch. Its gotta be someone far smarter than me making these decisions cause I just dont get it. Half the battle is getting punters in the door. My bankroll has gone up and offers are down. Do they want us to go across the street? Since I've gotten serious abt maximizing comps I rarely gamble outside of Mlife, but its gotta be a 2 way street.

    All I have are 3 nights at Mirage, 2 nights at Bellagio and 3 nights in a Suite at either MB or Luxor. I had 2 two offers expire on Jan 31st. Both were great offers, Aria for 3 nights and Suites at Bellagio for 2 nights, but didnt know I was going to Vegas till February 2nd. I cared more about the Aria offer because I wanted to stay at a different casino, I stay at Bellagio on 80% of my trips. I called an Aria host to see if he could still honor the offer that expired just 2 days previous. He said he couldnt but offeref me 1 night comped and the second night at discount. He actually recommeded that I use the Bellagio offer, instead of trying to welcome me to stay and play at Aria. Maybe my fault for not booking my stay even tbough I didnt know I was goona need it until too late.

    I was introduced to a host at Aria while playing there in a slot tournament.

    IMO came off as snobby and did not care about the mid level player like myself (prob considered low roller at ARIA). Actually offered me LESS than my recently expired Mlife corporate offer!

    Really disappointing that no corp offers are up. I have 2 hosts that I can get offers from but still like seeing what The system offers me elsewhere within the company

    I have the same issue at Aria actually. I just called the VIP sevives line, not my host. They hooked me up with same offer I used for the SB. Try that.

    I do think they are having site issues again. My new reservation is not listed on the site. I even tried to search it with reservation number and name.

    I thought it was just me!! Not alone feels better - I thought it might be the end of offers although my play increased.

    Booked an Aria offer for April which I was happy about. Although I was wondering why nothing else was listed - no corporate offers at all. It did seem strange.

    Here is what the Aria host wrote to me about getting the second night comped, "Typically we are looking for $200 minimum average bet for four hours per day to qualify for a full room comp, and a hosted account."

    I'm not a huge gambler to know if that means i need to bet $200/hand for four hours or on what table games he is referring to. Anyone have an insight.

    I dont play BJ, but play 3 card or crazy 4. I bet between $50- $100 per hand.

    He didn't specify what game. if you didn't mention one to him then, who knows. But that is a typical Aria host high-ball quote.

    $200 a hand for 4 hours is ridiculous for a standard Aria room for any game except possibly 3:2 BJ (or bacc). It would only be reasonable if you add in the "and a hosted account" part. I can see where they wouldn't assign a host to someone playing less than $200 a hand. But $200 x 4 hrs just to get a room and regular marketing offers? No way.

    It doesn't matter what table game...it's just a generic value they give. Your total average bet by the end of the trip, that they want to see, is an average bet of $200, for number of nights x4 hours. It's generic so that no matter what table game you play, it will be able to at least provide the Theo to cover the room comp. For BJ, it would probably be enough for just the room. For carnival games, like 3card, you can probably get room and some room charges taken off.

    Forgot to mention that even with the amount I play, March of 2016 when I played at Aria, the Pit Boss asked if I would like a Host. This was only being at the table for an hour. Why would a Boss ask that question based off of an hour of play and my bets were no more than $100 on 3 card? I enjoy the entertainment aspect of gambling and never understood the ins and outs of the theos, so I guess what I'm wondering is the Pit Boss seeing something different than the Host for comps? LMK if I'm not making sense.

    You are making sense. Here is the thing with Aria, the hosts there think their sh** doesn't stink. The hosts are looking for at least $200 per hand, that doesn't mean you can't get 3 nights and some RC for play under that. It is such a great property, I think some of their hosts are giving it a bad rap, or it could be some of us players who think we are entitled to what we are not. I used to always call the VIP line, 866.359.7778 to book my rooms. I would look to see what I had on-line and still call. Most times the VIP person could do better than what was on the web site. A few trips ago, I was getting my play reviewed by the host on duty and he gave me his card and told me to let him know the next time I was thinking about coming into town. There have been times when he has been able to do better than what my offer was, he's booked me for 4 days. There have been times where he has offered me less than what was on the site. I told him that I had better offers and he told me to book on-line. I think it all depends on when you want to come in, I tend to like some of the busier weekends during the year, the hosts are going to save some of their personal offers to their bigger players, I get that. My generic offers from MLife don't seem to black me out of any dates. I'm a dice player and my average bet is usually just under $150 per roll, small potatoes at Aria.

    Now we are back to the issue of the offers seem to be missing from the MLife site. Again, best advice would be to call the VIP services line, not a host unless your play really warrants one. I'm guessing most of us in this thread are below the real threshold or we would just be booking through the host anyway. The VIP services line has almost always been able to see things that I can't on-line. For all US players, the call is worth the few minutes. For those of you without a US phone line or free calls to the US it may still be worth it.

    I tempted to call to see if they will still honor the Mirage suite offers I had in December. If so, I could be going back in August. I do like the desert in the summer, call me crazy.

    Just called Luxor VIP Services...
    She said "your offer expired" (the mlife Corp offer which was 3 nights suite + RC) , so all they can do is offer a rate which is $2 more than what i can currently get a room for at the Luxor :(
    lets hope these Corp offers come soon !

    I called Mirage VIP services. They had no idea and indicated they never saw the offers more than a day ahead.

    I called the main number on the back of my card, but they said I'd need to check with the individual resorts. They transferred me to MGM Grand, and I was disconnected.
