Bonus Points For Las Vegas Hotel Stays With Hyatt And MGM Resorts

Hyatt announced a new promotion that can earn you up to 1,000 bonus points per night for stays at any Hyatt or MGM Resorts/M Life property in Las Vegas.  The promotion runs through the end of the year, so there’s plenty of time to take advantage of this.

You do need to register by October 15th, which you can do so here.

And, since registration is free, I always subscribe to the adage that you should go ahead and register now even if you don’t have a planned Vegas stay.  5 months is a long time and you might have a pop-up trip to Vegas after this promo has long faded from your memory.

The promotion works as follows:

There’s one catch that’s an important piece to consider.  Quoting from the T&C:

Eligible Nights do not need to be consecutive or occur at the same hotel, but to qualify for bonus point earning, all three (3) nights must all occur at hotels listed within each specific offer (e.g., two Eligible Nights at Luxor and one Eligible Night at MGM Grand will not qualify for any offer).  Guest may earn bonus points each offer.

Put another way, if you have 3 nights at these properties but they’re not all in the same category, you won’t earn any bonus points, even if some of the nights are in a higher category.

I get that this is probably a tech issue and they probably couldn’t have easily awarded points in the lowest tier of your three nights (for example, it would be nice if 2 nights at Luxor and one night at MGM still earned the bottom tier of 1,000 points).

The tiers seem about right for this promo, though I think they could have considered bumping Vdara up to tier 3.

But, when you consider that there are rarely promos to earn bonus points for stays in Las Vegas, this can be pretty lucrative.

The full Terms & Conditions are below:
