I have just over 60,00 LPs and I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow. Unfortunately most of the best rewards are sold out. I can't decide if I should spend them on crap I don't really want, or wait until the next time I go to Vegas, and who knows when that will be....

The rewards get restocked daily between 7 and 7:15 Pacific time, so depending on when you leave you may want to try picking something up in the morning.

I've got about 105k and saving up!

The games a bit boring but I have been trying to play some blackjack here and there. I've went from like 68-76 in like 3 hours playing in the past few days.

Level 65 now with 80k LPs. Noticed that when I went away for 4 days, I kept getting e-mails with free chips. Also, my daily spin when I got back was a lot higher.

My luck also seems to come in massive waves. For a while I had zero chips. Now I'm up 800k. Will start building the last casino soon.

What is the best game to get V symbols from? Was playing excalibur before. I found Lucky birds didn't provide quite as many V symbols as Excalibur.

but lucky birds has fewer actions required on your part (bonus game picks) so you can just set 100 spins and do less babysitting, that's the game I play now.

Level 64, just over 100k in LP

For building the hotels I usually just go to Lucky Birds or the Mirage one, set the bet low, and auto-spin 100 at a time. I'm just about done MGM, just another 85 V's to go. Level 70 with 101K LPs. I've been getting the free chip e-mails despite playing every day, so it's not tied to that. Not really sure what it's based on as I'm getting 7500 chips a day while I'm hearing some people saying they get 3500.

I'm getting the 7500k per day ones in the new game announcement e-mail. However, when I stopped playing, I started getting an additional 5k then 15k e-mail too.

Maybe I'll go with the angry birds for the V symbols. Keep my bet low at 200 though. Once I have all the hotels, I'll be able to commit less time. Just collect the hotel bonuses a few times a day, then play blackjack once every 2-3 days. No planned trip to Vegas, but it'd be nice to have 300k in LPs in 5 months time or so.

On a side note, I'm becomming a much better blackjack player. Obviously, I didn't know the odds as well as I thought

I've just been following the guides on the one FB group (min betting on excalibur until level 22, then switching to lucky birds and min-betting). I just hit level 22 so I can now play the lucky birds game which seems like way less babysitting than excalibur which is nice. Lots of people are complaining that they are devaluaing the LPs as the rewards are either costing more or you're getting less out of them (I don't think there's any 2 night stays anymore).

The FB group is nice cause they post a ton of free chip links which is where most of my chips have come from.

The rewards are definitely getting worse since I've started. Some of the better ones also are near impossible to get. There are just so many people playing now that it's going to be problematic. The way I see it though is that I'm not going to Vegas in the near future anyway, so if I can keep picking up LPs I should be able to get something decent when I do go (likely fall or winter).

The Facebook group is nice for the chip shares (I post all of mine on there and claim as many as I can) but I don't have the patience to grind out the min-bet strategy they recommend. I'd rather play a few different games and occasionally vary my betting.

I'd say get to the point where you have all of the hotels. Then you'll rack up quite a few points just logging in once or twice a day. In a year, you'll have enough points for something pretty good.

Just built my last hotel. So glad to be finally done with these slots.

Level 71, 91 LP, and 750k chips. Had 950k last night, but went on a horrible blackjack losing streak.

That's really how this game gets you. The trick is to be patient and play the odds exactly. With the bonuses, you should gain chips over time.

Currently at Lvl 81, 1.8 mil chips, and 103LP.

Does anyone know if your daily spin bonuses increase as you level up? At level 85, I move from "Onyx" to "Jade". I'm guessing the daily spin changes at that point.
