Week In Review 1

Posted on August 01, 2010 by Marc

This summer will be spotty for ECG as I’ll be traveling pretty often for the next couple of months.  You can always keep up with me on twitter for regular updates and posterous for pictures.

I uploaded a bunch of pictures of my Bally’s main Tower room in Atlantic City to flickr last week.  These were supposed to be high res so I didn’t send via twitter/posterous.  I only have a few days at ECG HQ so I’m not sure I’ll get to a full report, but I had an excellent time in Atlantic City and was able to enjoy the boardwalk for the first time in a while.

Before I took off for the week, I was able to get a few items up.  Enjoy.

New MGM Players Club – MLife 5

Posted on July 26, 2010 by Marc

MGM has been planning to launch a new players club to rival Harrah’s Total Rewards.  MGM Resorts International announced Mlife and will slowly start rolling it out to most of its properties nationwide.

Mlife is currently available at Beau Rivage in Tunica Biloxi, MS.  In August Mlife will be available in Detroit and in Las Vegas before the year is over.

Essentially MGM will try to mirror everything Total Rewards offers does both offline and online.  Examples from the Mlife FAQ:

  • Mlife will slot play more heavily than table play.
  • Mlife will now group players by tiers.
  • Use of tier credits and reward credits.
  • Ability to link users to one account.
  • MGM Holiday Gift Shoppe rivals Total Rewards Gift Rewards.

If imitation is the most sincere for of flattery Harrah’s should be blushing.  Current Players Club points will move to Mlife when your favorite property switches over to Mlife.

To their credit the MGM Mlife website is pretty sharp looking.  Cheers to the rollout working smoothly.  Keep the room offers coming.

Week In Review 0

Posted on March 21, 2010 by Marc

This was a slow week for ECG while I was out of town and away from a computer for most of the day.  Once I return from my next road trip things will pick up as I prepare for a trip to Las Vegas.

I added a new feature to ECG with a Players Clubs section.  Hopefully this makes it easier for you to sign up for comps at the casinos.  If I’m missing anything, please shoot me an email eastcoastgambler (at) gmail (dot) com.

On to this weeks action.
