Love the site;
Do you have any experience with some of these fly back options? I see that the MGM group frequently offers a fly back free promotion but with a catch of three days booking and a flight set up by Archer travel.

No sir, I do not. I've been lucky enough to accumulate enough room comps over the years and frequent flyer
miles for an occasional free airfare ticket. These approaches have always been cheaper for us than the multiple "flyback certificates" (which always seem to require room purchases and / or some of the restrictions to which you referred) that we see on the assorted MGM and Harrah's sites. This particular one is attractive , however provided Harrah's doesn't gouge patrons on the actual costs of the rooms. There are some hoops to jump through to acquire them..check those out on the Harrah's link before purchasing. I sincerely appreciate your comments. Good visits to Vegas, etc.
Cheers..:)
