myVEGAS Slots Review: Real Hotel and Dining Comps From Free Play, but Few Published Prices
myVEGAS is a free slots app that pays out in comps, not cash: hotel nights, buffets and shows. We checked what earns the points, how the tiers work and why the biggest question, what a reward costs, goes unanswered.

Our verdict
myVEGAS is a good free slots app with an unusual extra: loyalty points earned by playing, redeemable for real resort perks such as hotel nights and buffets. The rewards are comps, not cash, tied mainly to MGM properties, and the point price of each one sits inside the app. Play it for fun and treat any reward as a bonus, never as a reason to buy chips.
Best for: Free-slot fans who plan Vegas trips and want comps without paying
The question with myVEGAS is simple: do the rewards justify the hours? Our answer is yes, if you were going to play free slots anyway, and no if you think of it as a way to earn travel. The app is free, the chips are fake, and the comps are real, but the price of each comp is hidden in the app and the sources we read could not give one. We worked from the App Store listing, the myvegas.com landing page and an outside myVIP guide. We did not install the app or redeem a reward for this piece.
What you are actually playing
myVEGAS Slots is a social casino app from PLAYSTUDIOS, listed on the App Store since November 2013 and rated 4.6 from 202,252 ratings. There is no real-money gambling. The listing says plainly that the app is for entertainment purposes only and offers in-app purchases. The website, myvegas.com, is little more than a log-in page asking you to sign in and wait for the game to load, so judge the product by the app.
The listing promises a welcome bonus of 5,000,000,000 chips and free bonus chips every 2 hours. Chip counts at that scale mean little by themselves. What matters is how long a session lasts before the bonus runs out, and that depends on your bet size.

The slots: licensed brands and in-house machines
The listing names Wheel of Fortune, Bridesmaids, The Munsters and Shaquille O'Neal slots, plus titles from KONAMI and AINSWORTH such as Lotus Land and Chili Chili Fire. You can also walk a 3D Las Vegas Strip and visit virtual resorts. Tournaments and weekly events add competition, and the headline event is the World Tournament of Slots, with 500 seats and a final in the Bahamas.
If you like recognisable brands, this is a stronger library than most free apps offer. The machines behave like slot games: you tap, spin and watch the bonus rounds.

The rewards: where myVEGAS differs
This is the reason to download it. Points come from gameplay: PokerNews says each spin, mission and event earns points from the first spin, and joining and earning are free with no purchase required. The points feed the myVIP Rewards programme that also covers POP! Slots, myKONAMI Slots and MGM Slots Live.
The rewards are comps. The App Store screenshot shows cards for a free night at Bellagio, a free night at Park MGM and a 2-for-1 brunch buffet at Luxor. PokerNews lists hotel stays, resort dining, show tickets and partner offers such as cruises and retail vouchers. Gift cards are not mentioned. Think of it as a casino loyalty card that you fill by playing a game for free.

The tiers
myVIP Rewards has five tiers, according to PokerNews: Sapphire (entry), Pearl, Gold, Platinum and Onyx (invite-only). Higher tiers get earlier access to limited-stock rewards, priority booking windows and higher limits. Restocks happen periodically, often early in the morning Pacific time. The same guide says higher tiers carry daily and weekly earning caps, but it does not say how large they are.
The catch: nobody publishes the prices
We looked for the points cost of a single room night, buffet or show ticket. The guide lists none, and a search turned up only dated material. An older write-up reported a limit on how many premium rewards you can hold at once, and a requirement to link an MLife account, but those details are years old and may have changed. PLAYSTUDIOS also says the platform spans more than 70 hospitality and entertainment brands, though the best-known partner remains MGM.
That makes the central claim hard to test from the outside. A free night is only worth the hours you put in if you can see the price first. Open the Rewards tab and check the point cost for a reward you would use before you build a plan around it.

Verdict: worth the time only on your own terms
myVEGAS is a polished free app with a loyalty hook few rivals match. The cost to you is time and, if you give in, chip purchases. The listing makes it plain that in-app purchases are available, and the app uses chip packs to keep play going. Buying chips to chase a hotel night is a poor trade, because spending is not what the reviewers say earns the points, and rewards are comps rather than cash.
Choose it if you visit MGM resorts and like slot-style play. Skip it if you want cash back or clear prices. Play only for entertainment, set a budget for any purchase, and take breaks. The app is for adults, and if play feels compulsive, free help is available from the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER.
