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.

I also really liked the article: “Role Reversal: A New Way to Explore Vegas” as it gives a daily breakdown of some fun things to do in Vegas without falling into gender stereotypes. I’m not an up-all-night-drinking-my-life-away kind of guy, and the Culinary Classroom at Bellagio sounds much more like my style! Likewise, with Cirque shows all along the strip, seeing Zumanity would be a beautiful display of bodies and art!

I’m going to start with some poker, and then try the BLT Burger and beers! Sounds great.
While I see some other comments posting about pools and food being such an important attraction to Vegas, I’d have to say that’s not quite a draw for me. There are world class restaurants where I live, and being close enough to an ocean, who needs a pool? Instead, I want to do something in Vegas that I cannot get back home. To me, that means something like taking a wine class with a Master Sommelier at MICHAEL MINA on a Wednesday. How cool is that?! You’ve now *learned* something that you can impress your friends with! Sure, you might have a vineyard or winery near you somewhere, but if they’re tied to a specific company or brand, you’re not able to truly taste a great collection of liquid art from various skilled Sommeliers. Why not take an impartial class, learn about the best of the best from the best of the best, and drink free wine at the Bellagio? Sounds like a winner for me!

I was most interested in the giveaway terms, but sadly when I clicked the link, I got a 404 error…
Looking for all of the great pool bars.
Now some amazing loose leaf tea is definitely up my style! I’d really enjoy making my way to the Tea Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental I have a small collection of loose leaf teas that I greatly enjoy sipping anytime I get a moment of downtime. I don’t travel out of the country often, but when I do, I try to pick some of the local tea and bring it back with me. Being able to sample the Mandarin Orange Blend while actually relaxing on a vacation in Vegas (gasp! Relaxation in Sin City!) sounds like a winner to me!
