Now that the marriage is finally over and that all the cogs have fallen into place it is possible to begin to understand what is involved in MGM Resorts' transition from its multi-year partnership with the World of Hyatt program To the new collaboration with Marriott Bonvoy.
Las Vegas is a must for all travel to the West Coast of the United States. It doesn't matter if the route is a coast-to-coast or a road trip between big cities and natural parks, you must go to Sin City at least once in your life.
I have already written several articles on the subject, but now that all hotels are bookable through Marriott's app and website, it is also possible to see how many points it takes to sleep fountain view of the Bellagio, in the luxury of the Aria, or in the fairy tale castle of the Excalibur.
If you book cash be careful
Since we are not talking about a simple marriage it is Obviously the rules are different from any other chain hotel in the world. Contrary to what may seem logical if you book through MGM's site/app you will not accumulate qualifying points and nights.
I specify this because it might seem right the other way around, moreover. there is the disadvantage of not having BRG. In fact, the price on Marriott's channels, the ones that allow you to accumulate points and everything, is higher than MGM's channels.
Simply put, you pay if you want the points and if you want to get some benefits with the reservation.
Minimum 5,000 points per night
First the bad news. I recall that Marriott Bonvoy, unlike Hilton Honors, does not remove taxes and surcharges from the award nights, so it will never be a zero$ stay. That being said, I say that sleeping inside the Luxor pyramid or in the towers of the Excalibur castle will cost a minimum of 5,000 points per night.
All hotels and minimum prices
Obviously the Marriott group hotels in Las Vegas are many more, but what is of interest are the prices of the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip that are part of MGM.
Before the "but where do you find rooms at these prices" flame breaks out. I remember that for the past 2 years, even Marriott has switched to dynamic pricing of premium nights, so the price in points fluctuates like the cash price. So if you want to staying in Las Vegas during the Superbowl , CES or other major events the same room will cost as much as 100 thousand points.
