Giving Away 75,000 Hyatt Points to Celebrate Hyatt-MGM in Las Vegas

by Gary Leff

Here’s the scoop:

  • The Hyatt Gold Passport – MGM M Life partnership is the richest in Las Vegas. It lets you earn and redeem points across both programs, and get status recognition too.
  • You can get Hyatt Platinum status just for having the Hyatt Visa. And Hyatt Platinum gets you Gold status and recognition at 12 resorts in Las Vegas – upgrades, priority checkin, buffet line passes, VIP night club access.
  • Hyatt Diamonds get even more (I love skipping the taxi queue).
  • There’s a new website for this relationship that features free room, points, and experience giveaways.

I’m giving away 75,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points to a reader drawn at random from those leaving comments on this blog post, continue reading to learn more.

Last year Hyatt introduced a partnership with MGM M Life that was really revolutionary in the hotel industry.

Hyatt Gold Passport and MGM M Life offered both reciprocal points earning and redemption, and also elite status recognition, in what amounted to a hotel alliance (akin to the major airline alliances).


    The fountains in front of the Bellagio

Las Vegas was a clear gap area for major chain hotels. IHG had Venetian, Starwood a Westin, Hilton an off-strip property. Starwood subsequently introduced their own partnership with Caesars but it was less extensive, not earning status nights or receiving status recognition across the chains.

In one swoop Hyatt Gold Passport had the best presence in Las Vegas, and MGM had its own global footprint for M Life members as well.

They’ve just launched a digital hub that will help travelers explore Vegas and make the most of the Hyatt Gold Passport and MGM M life relationship.

There’s daily content and regular giveaway opportunities like free nights at M life resorts, Hyatt Gold Passport points, and show tickets.

And to encourage you to check it out, Hyatt has offered to let me give away 75,000 Gold Passport points to readers.

  1. My favorite potential-feature on the website was the entertainment section, accessible by clicking on the toolbar docked vertically on the lefthand side. The options shown when clicking the “Entertainment” button were comparatively most appealing. However, I think they probably covered only 10% of the true entertainment options available to Hyatt guests! There’s definitely room for improvement in advertising the entertainment options available to Hyatt guests.

  9. Swimming with dolphins at the Mirage is one thing I’ve always wanted to do, but never made the time, unfortunately–and I have no excuse, as I live in Florida. Maybe I have to go on vacation elsewhere and be a tourist to try these fun activities.

  19. The most visually appealing portion of the website was the Bellagio fountains (of course). (featured in “By the Numbers: Las Vegas Fun Facts & Stats)

    A close second is the photo of the chandeliers of Mandalay Bay miX.

    The other photos could’ve been more appealing. For example, the photo advertising scrumptious steak showed only an empty restaurant. What? If nothing else, show the scrumptious steak!

    (All the above-mentioned photos are accessible by clicking the website’s Home tab.

  22. I stayed at the Bellagio last year right after the relationship between hyatt and MGM began. The reservation/upgrade/status process was confusing for the hotel and customers at that time. I am hopeful that the new site will make this much clearer now.

  23. The 35 mph zip-line “ride” 1700 feet above ground on the SlotZilla is not something I would personally be bvrave enough to attempt, but I sure would like to watch someone else do it!

  31. Vegas is all about the best partying, and in that Vegas heat the pool parties are the best option! Best Pools in Vegas: Coolest Lounges to Hottest Parties is a great addition!

  33. I am interested in “The Many Shades of Night Life”. My wife and I visited MGM hotel earlier this year and the Hyatt status and points were great to get for out stay.

  44. I absolutely love the pictures of the hotels at night. They are so breath taking. I have the say that the Bellagio is probably my favorite. I have stayed in rooms that are larger but the view from my room at the Bellagio was the most beautiful and romantic.

  47. I like the Top 10 random things to do in Vegas. I have been to Vegas many, many times but I always find something new to do and I always want to go back.

  48. Some of the article titles didn’t draw my interest, but one that I clicked on immediately was called “Best Pools in Vegas: Coolest Lounges to Hottest Parties”.

    Although not much of a party animal myself, I’m always a sucker to see the newest-and-greatest swimming pools.

    1. Aria got the top billing, but looked somewhat dull (although refined).
    2. MGM’s aerial view of their lazy river: winner! (Hint: a lazy river always wins.)
    3. Bikini Ball at Mandalay Bay: makes me wonder if any of the people in the photo work for a living.
    4. Bellagio’s VIP pool: looks as boring as Aria, but am curious about the “chilled towels”.
    5. Mirage’s European Escape — the key word here is “topless”. And I am a straight female, so no sexual bias in my comment. The pool appears to be miniature, but I like it’s attitude.

    Based on the article, which pool would I choose? Mirage’s. Would I go topless? Maybe only after staying there a few weeks. I’m not that bold. But like I said, ya gotta respect the attitude.
