This app saved me $120 in Las Vegas — and can save you even more

Earlier this week, my girlfriend and I took a trip to Las Vegas.

In an effort to make every dime count, we downloaded an app called MyVegas.

MyVegas is a pair of apps for Facebook, iPhone, and Android where you play blackjack or the slot machines with virtual cash – and earn real rewards, like meals and show tickets, at some of Las Vegas' biggest hotels and resorts. 

With less than a month of playing MyVegas, and some smart strategizing, we earned enough of the game's "loyalty points" to save around $120 on our Vegas vacation. If you're forewarned, you can save even more. 

Here's how it works.

There are two different MyVegas games for you to choose from. MyVegas slots, pictured here, gives you a choice of slot machines to choose from. Most of them are themed around real-world Vegas casinos, like New York New York. Others are digital versions of real slot machines, like China Mystery. There's even one called "Caddyshaq" that's themed around Shaquille O'Neal playing golf.

And then there's MyVegas Blackjack. And if you ever run out, you use real money to buy more. A better option is to go to the MyVegas Facebook page, which gives out codes for 5,000 chips every day.

The more you play, and the bigger you bet, the more "loyalty points" you earn. You get bonuses on the virtual chips and loyalty for every consecutive day that you play.
