myVegas: Booking MGM rooms

One of the best use of loyalty points is to book rooms at MGM hotels in Vegas. The 1 and 2 night comp stays are available for Sunday-Thursday nights, depending on availability. Rooms are released when the rewards refresh every couple months, and room availability declines as people book the rooms. You would have to purchase the reward to check availability for your particular dates.

There are some special rules for booking these rewards:

  • Rooms are premium rewards and count towards your 30 day limit.
  • You are responsible for resort fees unless you have Gold status or above with MGM.
  • You can only have one room reward in your wallet regardless of property. That is, if you have a Bellagio room reward you can’t buy an Aria room reward.
  • Once you book a room reward, you can’t buy another room reward until the stay is over.
  • The redemption date is the must redeem by date, but you can book a room in the future, as long as the calendar is available.
  • A booked room uses a premium slot for 30 days prior and 30 days after check-in.
  • If you cancel a room after booking, you can sometimes get a refund by contacting support but it’s up to the discretion of the agent.
  • Room calendars for the next couple months are usually released 2-3 weeks before the current room calendars run out.
  • Although terms state room rewards are limited to one redemption every 30 days, it is sometimes possible to buy another reward after your stay so you can use more than one comp per month.
  • To combine stays, two people can purchase rewards and book back to back stays but ask the front desk to stay in the same room.
  • Booking a myVegas comp room prevents you from using your own MGM offers for similar dates. However, you can book your own MGM offer, then book the myVegas comp rooms so you can stay consecutive nights.
  • Comp rooms are not eligible for regular (non-konami) freeplay rewards.
  • Generally, the availability calendar for the one and two night rewards at a particular property are the same.
