I have been Total Rewards since I live on the East Coast and no matter which property you gamble at, you pretty much are linked in comps everywhere.

Example, if I gamble at Ballys AC, I receive offers for hotels at either Bally's or Caesars or Harrahs.

I was wondering if anyone knew if M-life worked like this too. I read somewhere that it didn't.

So if you gamble at Bellagio, will you get offers for MGM, Excalibur, etc.?

Does your ADT/casino card trigger at all casinos? i.e. If you gamble at Aria for several hours 10k coin-in, then visit Mandalay Bay for ten minutes and just throw fifty bucks at some slots, will that play pull down your play at the Aria.

It works that way in CET but not sure about M-life.

Thanks.

When I play at Beau Rivage, I get free room offers in Vegas and Tunica.

Yeah, but that is just cross marketing. Like staying at Disneyland and being given offers for discounts at Disneyworld. You are being given a free room to get you to travel, not necessarily because of your outstanding gambling.

I took a card out Empire City in Yonkers NY and gambled about fifty bucks there. Hardly spectacular. Then I got a mailer stating they were now collaborating with MLIFE and I could stay at a hotel in Vegas for free for two nights. So, there is cross marketing.

But the ADT, etc from Yonkers raceway was not being carried over to MLIFe. They said my Empire City card was still good and a separate account from MLIFE. They even gave me my MLife account number which they had opened (kind of pissed me off they would "join me" without asking. What if there is some new membership offer and I can't take advantage because now I have an Mlife account.)

From everything I've read, they are much less connected than CET.

I have never received an MLife offer to a casino that I have zero play at. My personal experience is that total play is connected, but I have never received an offer at a casino I have 0 play at. Again, personal experience, absolutely 0 proof, only played at LV properties.

I bet calling them up directly would work though.

That's been my experience. It kinda surprises me that my normal joint (Mandalay Bay) gives me free rooms, but NYNY is all "hey, only $49 a night over here!". Seriously? Bleh.

I'm not yet high enough to have a personal host contact me, but high enough that talking to one when I check out gets me a good chunk off the bill. So, I guess I could contact someone at NYNY and ask for something similar, but I haven't been tempted to go back. In fact, I think the reason I get mailers from NYNY and Luxor is because I stayed at those properties once upon a time.

The mLife website of course has "mLife [season] offers", but I think those are based purely on card tier, and not on ADT. Seems to me that ADT is not shared between resort marketing departments.

I've had the same experience with mLife. Kinda annoying compared to CET, but I like the resorts better so I stay. It gets old though, because I get free room offers at MB, NYNY, Luxor, etc. My friends get them at MGM and Mirage, and they won't give me rooms when I call, so we always argue about where to stay and where to gamble.
