Elevating Las Vegas Journeys with New Opportunities
Transitioning from its previous affiliation with World of Hyatt, MGM Resorts’ incorporation into Marriott Bonvoy introduces a wealth of fresh opportunities for travelers, especially those drawn to the allure of the Las Vegas Strip. The addition of MGM’s esteemed portfolio to Marriott’s network notably augments lodging choices in the city, extending beyond limited selections like The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
Travelers now have access to iconic destinations for point redemption, including ARIA Resort & Casino, Bellagio Resort & Casino, and MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, among other distinguished venues. This integration not only expands accommodation options but also enhances the travel experience with exclusive benefits for elite members.
Navigating the Nuances of Redemption and Resort Fees
The partnership, while promising, comes with considerations, such as Marriott Bonvoy’s dynamic pricing for point redemptions. Travelers need to be mindful of fluctuating costs and the potential for resort fees, which can impact the overall value of point use, particularly for those not holding Ambassador Elite status, which exempts these charges.
Making the Most of Marriott Bonvoy’s MGM Collaboration
Evaluating the balance between cash payments and point redemptions is crucial, especially when considering resort fees and elite status perks. The decision to use points is appealing, especially with perks like the fifth-night free benefit, but requires thoughtful assessment against cash rates.
Beyond stays, the partnership enriches travel experiences through Marriott Bonvoy Moments, offering unique activities like orchestrating the Bellagio Fountain Show or enjoying exclusive golf weekends. These additions provide Marriott members with unparalleled experiences beyond the hotel room.
Leveraging Co-Branded Credit Cards for Enhanced Rewards
For those looking to increase their point balances or achieve elite status, Marriott Bonvoy’s range of co-branded credit cards offers a viable strategy. With benefits including automatic elite status and substantial sign-up bonuses, these cards are key to maximizing the rewards of the Marriott and MGM Resorts partnership.
