I downloaded Photon and Flash this weekend to my Android phone but it wasn't loading the Facebook game. I tried the Puffin browser and it worked but it is not very easy to play the Facebook version on a phone. Maybe it would work better on my tablet.

I totally got confused by this post, thinking we were talking about Flash Walken and CP's Photon lol.

Not sure how photon works on the android but theres a lightning symbol on the bottom right that you have to press to enable flash.

Puffin.. I tried it but didn't like it so I stopped using that app.

I did have the flash lightning symbol enabled but the game just wouldn't load. I didn't bother trying any other flash sites and instead loaded Puffin.

Anyone still playing this?

I've been very casually playing blackjack and logging in every day or two. I've noticed that they've cut back on the LP rewards from hotels. Before I'd typically get about 500 LP points per round. Now rarely do I get about 100.

At level 300 now.
12,600,000 in chips
678,000 in LPs.

I should probably book a trip to Vegas. How hard is it to actually use these points?

Yes, I still at least do my daily spin each day. I'm level 330 or so with 570K loyalty points at the moment (I used 350K or so on my last Vegas trip).

Using them isn't hard - I've done three rewards:
1. Cirque du Soleil show - they give you a phone number to call and book your seats, then you need to go pick the tickets up at the show's ticket counter
2. Aria buffet - you go to the MLife counter at Aria on the day you want to use the buffet and they add it to your players card
3. Drink credit for NY-NY piano bar - go to the MLife counter in the casino on the day you want to redeem the reward and they give you a voucher to give at the bar

Note that you can normally only use three rewards in a thirty day period and that the rewards which sell out often get restocked around 7:00 each day so that's the best time to try buying them.

I did the Beatles "Love" which is a circular theater - there isn't a lot of difference in seats. The reward I redeemed was "Premium" seats, which is the "C" tier, regular $143 each. When you're on the phone with them you can choose your seats within whatever price it is.

Level and chips on mobile are separate than on the computer. Your strip is also different. Only your loyalty points are combined.

I still use it a little - I've got 850,000 points waiting for my next Vegas trip, but there's not much to spend them on. I have gotten a ton of value out of the app as I've already redeemed 7 free buffets, 3 free show tickets, 1 free night's accommodation, $25 slot free play and a $75 drink credit. That's a lot of value.

I used them on my last trip at the end of 2015. I got 2 for 1 to see O. I think we also got free or 2 for 1 admission to Shark Reef. I think I got drink credit at NYNY, where we were staying. I didn't have very many points to use. I think you can only claim so many rewards per trip too, so you must choose. But choose wisely.

You should be able to use rewards to get discounts on rooms. At least you could back in 2015. Back then I had maybe 50,000 points. Now I'm around 350,000.

You can get points from more than just MyVegas. I have been having more fun playing PopSlots. There is a couple of other games you can use to collect points to claim for rewards.

The general consensus is that the rewards have gotten worse since the early days, last trip we used points for a couple of breakfast buffets and a bunch of drink credits. The pleasant surprise was the piano bar in NYNY, we had a $50 credit for there and had an awesome afternoon listening to a piano player take requests. (Not the evening dueling piano show, that gets mega crowded and crazy)

We've used them three years in a row. Wife plays it while she's doing laundry or whatever, it adds up quickly and makes our trips to Vegas quite affordable when it comes to spending money while we're down there.
