MLife in Vegas questions

[pkspins]

I am really clueless when it comes to MLife stuff.

I don't play much MLife but I usually wander over to the Bellagio for a bit whenever I'm in Vegas. So I have some express comps built up - around $90.

Is there a list somewhere of the restaurants that you can use these at?
I'm not and don't intend to have a hotel stay - I was just thinking of going in, eating and using them to pay.
From what it said on their website, it doesn't seem like you can use these at stores, so I can't buy souvenirs with them right? Just food and spa??

I was thinking of trying Noodles at Bellagio next time I go to Vegas. It'd be nice to see a list of the options though if there is one.

Also, am I losing my mind or have the Bellagio slot finder and the list of jackpot winners at Bellagio that used to be on their website disappeared???

I am sure someone here knows all of this.

Many thanks!

mLife's website has been going through many changes in the last two weeks, some of them very annoying. I have not been able to see my point balance since they started the upgrade process on August 2nd.

AFAIK (As Far As I Know), you can use Express Comps at any of the restaurants or stores at any mLife casino, but you should ask. Remember that any swipe of the card will log you in for a gambling day.

Thank you. I was able to see my point balance when I went into their site but it's been a couple of months since I had any MLife activity.
I appreciate you mentioning it but I'm not worried about my MLife ADT. I've never gotten any good offers from them anyway, even when it was pretty high after my first visits after getting the card. I get stuff like get 2 nights free of a 3 night stay, or free weekday nights at MGM Detroit, which I have never played at with MLife.
I normally just go to Bellagio to play for a little bit when I stay at CP for a change of pace. Other than that all of my LV play is at CET casinos. Where I usually end up having everything comped, although it'll be a tighter squeeze with those new ratios you posted about after your last trip.

I would still like to know, if anyone does, if anyone knows if there's a list anywhere of places that accept these. And if it is as easy as going to a place, dining and then presenting the card for payment.

I'd like it better if I could just go spend them at a store but according to their website you can't use Express Comps at Retail establishments. Otherwise I'd buy souvenirs and beverages and call it a day.

My only experience was using $256 at Olives in Bellagio. We never stayed there, but when we dined I told the waiter before we ordered that I would be using Express Comps and give him my players card. When the bill came that amount was deducted. We had a table of six, so there was a balance we paid in cash. It was very simple and I was also nervous prior to getting there. So my offering to you is we used Express Comps to pay for a restaurant at an MLife property we never stayed or gambled at and it worked. As far as retail stores ... have never tried that.

It is not clear.

I was able to use it to buy drinks and food at stores at Mandalay but not able to use it to buy souveiners. I look for the MLIFE sign and ask if I can use my rewards.

Unfortunately the system is flawed and not a lot of clarity.

Thank you all for your information. @hccj I was nervous about this which is why I asked. I'm interested in trying their restaurants if I have comps to use, but not so interested that I want to pay real money I could be using to gamble, for other stuff, or at one of the many excellent restaurants in LV. @Big Mac Yes they don't have a lot of clarity on their website at all about how all this stuff works. Which is kind of why I have piled these up so much. The only time I asked about using them was at the Siegfried and Roy gift shop, because we were buying a couple of souvenirs, and there the answer was no.

I'll just plan on going to Noodles one day for lunch. But I will probably pop by the mlife desk at Bellagio first to double check and see what else I can use them on there.

Why not just ask at the restaurant (at the front desk before seating). They would know for sure. That's what I do. They take Express comps at Julian Serrano and Emeril's Seafood House at MGM Grand, and Carnegie Deli at Mirage.

This is all I can find. Couldn't find a list.
Where can I redeem my Express Comps?
Look for the “Express Comp Accepted Here” sign at participating restaurants, box offices, and more! Express Comps are not redeemable at retail outlets.
I would just go to the players club at the property and ask them. The may have a list they can give you. I know that MGM had a list. I think it may change from time to time so I would ask to be safe.

MLIFE comps can be used at Fix at Bellagio too. Most of the hotel restaurants accept them. It is not a big deal to ask as it is a fair question. The only thing i have to remember is when I use comps to make sure i have cash for tip. The players club should know what restaurants will take them.
The only time i could not use them was for the food court at Monte Carlo - except Starbucks.
