The Incredible Shrinking Aria Offer

While I don't have many wins during my stays at Aria- I do enjoy the place and usually receive regular offers to enjoy three nights in a suite, invited guest check in and $300 in free play. While my level of play hasn't changed, I just got an M Life mailing for ............................(can you feel the excitement?)

$75 in free play
"Special Rates" from $97 a night
2 for one 1 tickets to any MGM resorts show.

The mailer says "M Life, all new offers, all new possibilities" which is true- the possibility of staying at multiple other casinos with better offers is likely.

(As Jean Scott famously advised, "date but do not marry a casino")
Paul- Was that your Online offers?

I get Lousy offers online..........but seem to get Aria Emails with Better offers.
Those are the ones I book.
Online offers suck, and never show all the offers I get emailed to me.




I have had the exact same thing happen with MGM. Same exact action, 1/10th of the offers.
CLV-
It was a mailed offer and a fancy one at that- maybe the gloss of the mailer is inversely proportional to its actual value.
Online- I still have (at least until May 24) an offer of three nights in an innovative room and some undisclosed free play.
There are simply too many other more competitive offers.
Kiwiboy1-
when did the decline in offers hit you? Mine is a recent occurrence.
Cheers.

Me too. Stayed in the fall on a weekend 3 free nights $100 FP. Gave them lots of play, more than my norm. Now getting Special rates of $69+ weekday and $89+ weekend (plus resort fee on top of that).

Bummer. I do like it there but if I can stay somewhere else nice for free, it is a no brainer.

Am still getting 1 - yes 1 free night regular room at Mirage? A year ago I stayed 3 free nights in a Mirage suite (not quite sure how that one fell in my lap - I don't think my play warrants a suite) BUT again if anything my play was higher than in the past and going from 3 nights to 1 is quite a drop.

It will be interesting to see what summer brings.
Last 6 months have been basically useless. Dropped from Suite, $200 food, $250 free play to casino rate, $75 free play. Average $20K a day in VP.
This year, opposite occ for me. Still Diam at CE, but my current offers aren't very good.
MGM, finally emailing me decent stays & those I book over their Online acct. offers, which still suck,
and have always sucked for me.


get a load of mine and I quote:



All that for $13? Wow mLife!!!

"And with your $13 in Express Comps™ balance, you can experience stellar entertainment, sumptuous dining, lavish accommodations and the hottest play in Vegas. All this and so much more is here for you as an M life Sapphire Member!*"
$13 Woohoo, don't spend it all in one place.

Hey, Paul, I see the fancy mailer you are talking about. Just got mine yesterday.
Its the SAME sucky offer that I have on my online offers.
And it ends with.............or call your host at Excalibur.............

Are they freakin' outta their minds?

I'm telling you..........the Emailed offers are my BEST.

Thats where I get Aria & Bell comps/concert offers.
Nowhere does it have those comps listed in my online acct.
And they certainly haven't Mailed to me either.

So, The online & Now Mailed offers, are horrible, and I don't book them.

Yes, there are better offers elsewhere, if thats all youre getting.

Of course in the parallel universe of casino marketing, what is up is down, what is down is up and so we'll just wait for the inevitable "we've missed you" offer while enjoying other places.

The odd thing is that $100 in free play showed up on my online account. wearing out my computer keyboard trying to keep up with these things.
