This looks interesting, especially if we can get a fountain view room at Bellagio. I called to inquire but the reservation clerk wasn't aware of the discounts. He did say that they were told a new promotion with a cruise ship was coming but he didn't have details yet (I forwarded him the email). I'll wait another week...

I also got the email this afternoon. There is a special number to call to book the MGM resorts. Looks to be the only way to secure the discount.

[awhfy]

That's the number I called. I guess they need a couple of days to get the memo

[K.T.B.]

Oh I am definitely interested in this! :)

Thanks Andy, that may become useful for our US visits.:D

The link seems to be "not ready yet" too.

This is the same deal that Crown & Anchor has had for several years now. MGM will put you in one of their levels of their player's club according to your Captain's Club level. But if you do not maintain your points needed for that level each year you will be bounced back to a lower level....then your discounts get lowered.

We go to Vegas and stay at Mandalay Bay or Delano. Both are MGM properties. The players benefits are much better than they are offering to Cruise passengers.

Waste of time for most, I suspect. The last time I was in Vegas, it was a complete fiasco on every level. I don't ever want to go back :(

It seems kind of strange from a cruise line that is known for bad casinos. Royal Caribbean really caters to gamblers that are involved in MLife. We gamble a lot on Royal Caribbean but make it a point not the go near a casino on Celebrity.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. For those that do visit Vegas, the ability to "jump the line", discounts, and other perks are a nice freebee.

It looks like M Life card holders are being offered some benefits to entice them to book a holiday with Celebrity. This was on MLife FB page… :)

Getting ready for our Sept. trip to LV. Will let you know how it fares...if I can get through.

Would someone tell me what a " minimum room discount of up to 20%" is. :confused:Doesn't a 0% discount fall in this range?

 

I just love marketing speak :rolleyes:

[maggie.1008]

It says that M Life players can earn M Life points by playing on board X. I wonder if you have to sign up ? Sign up with X or M LIfe ?

[maggie.1008]

Just called Mandalay Bay VIP services in Las Vegas. The program is so new they do not know how to combine Celebrity account with M Life account. I cruise again in 3 weeks and would like to get M Life credit for playing on board. Hope Celebrity can comment.

[MicCanberra]

I haven't heard of M Life, is a US only thing.

[maggie.1008]

All of their Casinos are in the USA.

Never been to Vegas and have no interest in going

All my gambling is done by in trying figure out Celebrity pricing :D

Vegas is good for the shows, but I hate it when I am out on the street at midnight and I see people dragging kids out there, next to the hustlers pushing porn.

I could be very happy never going back to Vegas.

Thanks.:D

Never understood why people bring kids to Vegas.

 

Also the hustlers are pushing hookers, not porn (big difference!) ;)

They actually have a couple in China.

But what is the percentage discount going to be "off" of? Full rack rate? Anyone who gets an Mlife card and puts a dime in a slot machine is going to get better rates than that anyway, so I'm not sure I see the point.
