Many times, when we head to Vegas, we have some grandiose plans and many activities on our tentative itinerary. Anyone who’s been to Vegas knows that these plans can quickly fall through. This isn’t for a lack of effort, but most likely because other, unexpected events tend to come about. Kind of like the time I somehow ended up on the north end of the Strip, past the Stratosphere, singing karaoke until 3:00 am with a cowboy. True story. myVegas has made the planning process more interesting; it’s always fun browsing potentially free activities. Sometimes, though, Vegas happens and we need to cancel a reward or two. Here’s how to go about doing so:
Head to your wallet. You can find this on both the mobile and desktop platforms. On the desktop, it’s labeled “My Purchases”.
MyVEGAS Hotel Reward Calendars. Hotel Reward Calendars are usually are usually released 3 to 6 months at a time, and around the last 1-2 months of existing calendars. You can currently book up to August 31, 2020. Although myVEGAS has officially released their calendars, their dates do not usually correspond with the actual availability.
Click on the reward you want to cancel. You should see a “cancel reward” button. Simply click on that and you’ll be all set. The LPs will automatically be loaded back into your account. You should note, however, that you may only cancel 5 rewards every 30 days.
Room rewards are a bit different. If all you do is purchase the reward, but never make a reservation, the reward redemption amount will be refunded in the same manner as the process above. However, if you call to redeem the reward at the specific hotel, the points become nonrefundable. That’s not to say that if you can no longer make it, you should simply do nothing. You see, when you redeem your reward, it becomes an active reservation with the property. Because of this, you would have left your credit card information. If you don’t call to cancel the reward, you will still be charged the resort fee for that particular night. So, to officially cancel your room, you have to call the hotel reservation line directly. Be sure to have your room confirmation number handy, the one you should have received when you originally redeemed the reward.
I had to do this recently for a stay at the Luxor. I described the pain-free redemption process in a previous post. The cancellation was just as easy. Here are some of the specific hotel reservation numbers:
Mandalay Bay: 1-702-632-7777
Excalibur: 1-702-597-7777
Luxor: 1-877-386-4658
MGM Grand: 1-877-880-0880
Monte Carlo: 1-702-730-7000
Mirage: 1-800-374-9000
Circus Circus: 1-702-691-5950

There’s a little known cruise hack that can be had simply by playing video slot games…for free.
Currently, the only participating lines are MSC and Royal Caribbean. In the past, I’ve see deals for Carnival and Norwegian, so I’m going to keep checking for those to pop up as well.
The current MSC offers are all for sailings on MSC Armonia out of Fort Lauderdale in March. These 7 night cruises can be had for as little as 125,000 coins. Taxes and fees are $184. Dates are March 2, March 9, March 23, and March 30.
If I lived in Florida or a neighboring state, I would be jumping all over one of these.
At the moment Royal Caribbean has just one 3-night cruise up for redemption. It goes from Vancouver, Canada, to Victoria, sails around the Puget Sound a little and then concludes in Seattle. Best of all, the sailing date is in May. Plenty of time to plan for flights or other activities to tack on at the beginning of end of the cruise.
This one will cost 500,000 points with taxes and fees of $111.16 per person.
MyVegas games are fun little gambling apps! It’s free to play. Chips are awarded at timed intervals. You can make in-app purchases for additional virtual gambling money, but I’ve found it really isn’t necessary.
I play fairly passively and have managed to amass over a million coins and have redeemed some for onboard credit during a Royal Caribbean cruise. The opportunity to redeem some of my coins for a cruise is exciting and I hope to be able to take advantage of future free cruise deals.
