Just fired up my Amex account and noticed the following targeted offer: spend $500+ and get 10k Membership Rewards. Note the terms and conditions at the bottom of this post, and the expiration of 8/29/19. Feature image courtesy of MGM Resorts

We’ve seen great Amex Offers targeting hotels before, but MGM Resorts is a rather interesting prospect. Why? Because there are so many properties, with so many restaurants, shows, many are Amex FHR, and you on top of all of that, you can earn Hyatt points while staying at them. What do I mean by this? Let’s take a look at this example.

One of my favorite shows in Vegas, which I’ve seen a couple times and highly recommend, is O. The cheapest seats you’ll snag there are

One of my favorite things to do in Vegas is see Cirque du Soleil, and one of my favorite Cirque shows is at Bellagio: “O” – the cheapest seats will set you back $107.37. Here’s one of the amazing things, have the concierge book your tickets and bill them to your room. The same can be done for any restaurant across the MGM brand.

You’ll a

Fine Hotels and Resorts is just one of the many, many ways my Amex Platinum is worth its annual fee.

Here’s a list of properties this Amex Offer is valid at:

• Bellagio®
• ARIA®
• Vdara®
• MGM Grand® Las Vegas
• The Signature at MGM Grand®
• Mandalay Bay® 
• Delano®
• Las Vegas Park MGM®
• NoMad® Las Vegas
• The Mirage®

The Amex FHR properties in Vegas associated with MGM

The following properties are all a part of American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts. This program is accessible via any version of the Platinum card + Centurion.

• The Delano
• Bellagio
• Aria

All of these properties come with the following benefits included in the rate

• 12pm check in, 4pm late check out
• upgrade on availability
• Breakfast, this varies by property but is usually a set amount per person staying in the room
• $100 spa credit to be used during your stay
  • Bellagio has a special where the credit is applicable to food and beverage as well.

Earning Hyatt points

If you’re booking this via MGM or Hyatt then you’ll earn Hyatt points on basically every dollar you spend, including the room rate and much of the incidental. However…if you’re booking via Amex FHR ( you may still earn on the room rate, this is YMMV ) but the only thing that is guaranteed are many of the incidentals.
