what happened to free meals

Im at level 260. Ive used the one or two free meal comps in the past at aria and Bellagio. Ive got over 500,ooo points, AND THEY DONT OFFER THE FREE ONES ANYMORE. just the 2 for 1.s
what happened. Im ready to stop playing.
I have a free buffet for Bellagio i am going to be using tomorrow, and currently see the free buffets for Aria and Mirage, among others. Are you looking for these awards from Las Vegas? The software knows your location, and offers many fewer rewards when you are actually accessing them in Las Vegas...
that's very interesting. It doesn't seem fair though. I live in the Midwest and Im visiting so I decided to use them. If that is the case..Im out of luck this trip, its not a fair practice, as I earned the rewards, I should be able to retrieve them, even last minute. Lesson learned for me.I wont be building up any more credits after this. bad taste for my vegas policy is all that's left.
this is something that should be explained clearly when you go into redemption area, than I wouldn't have waited til I got here to redeem.

Papa, I also live in the midwest & just purchased free buffets at Aria & Bellagio yesterday...
Now are you trying to buy & they are giving you the message that you already bought these rewards? That could be.
Then it is a game to see when a new batch appears & you can buy again.
Have you tried for the $50 Monte Carlo comp or the $25 Nine Fine Irishmen comp? There are also other buffets free. Or the Pub beer & meal pairing meal--these are all free meals, tho many in high demand & require you to be online at 9AM ready to click back & forth to get them--but it is possible if you are prepared, patient & persistent.
