A press release in July 2023 had announced that MGM would transition to the Marriott Bonvoy program.
At that time, the date of this initial transition was October 2023. However, due to a IT security problem, the date has been changed.
Marriott Bonvoy members can now earn and redeem points at 16 MGM hotels on the Marriott Bonvoy website.

In the Marriott Bonvoy group, seven MGM hotels are categorized under the“MGM Collection” banner:
- Vdara Hotel & Spa, MGM Collection
- MGM Grand Hotel & Casino
- The Signature at MGM Grand
- Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, MGM Collection
- New York-New York Hotel & Casino, MGM Collection
- Luxor Hotel & Casino, MGM Collection
- Excalibur Hotel & Casino, MGM Collection
Four other MGM hotels joining other Marriott Bonvoy collections, namely :
- Bellagio, a Luxury Collection Resort & Casino, Las Vegas,
- ARIA Resort & Casino, Autograph Collection,
- the Park MGM Las Vegas, a Tribute Portfolio Resort,
- and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection
The MGM Collection from Marriott Bonvoy now includes 7 MGM hotels in Las Vegas and 5 others throughout the United States.
Stay at MGM Resorts hotels with Marriott Bonvoy points
Points fluctuate widely depending on the hotel and the day of the week.
We’ve found that the best deals are between Sunday and Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays are the days when the hotel demands the most Marriott Bonvoy points.
For example, take advantage of the free night certificate on your Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Cardto go to the superb Bellagio and marvel at its spectacular Fountains!

The best hotel requiring the fewest points is the Excalibur Hotel & Casino, MGM Collection, where several nights cost 5,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. As the fifth night is free, this amounts to a total of 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
Beware of resort fees, which are high in Las Vegas and don’t disappear when you book with points.

The best way to earn points toward free stays at MGM properties in 2025 is to purchase the Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card or the Marriott Bonvoy® Business American Express®* Card.
The Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card is the best credit card for free hotel nights.
With this welcome offer, you can earn 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points by spending $1,500 in the first 3 months after joining.
It’s a Card we recommend keeping because each year at renewal, you get an Annual Free Night Award (for up to 35,000 points at hotels worldwide) and 15 Elite Night Credits per year, counting towards your Marriott Bonvoy Elite status.
With this Card, you earn 5 points per dollar on all purchases at Marriott Bonvoy properties and 2 points per dollar on all other purchases.
Finally, this Card comes with comprehensive insurance: baggage delay, lost or stolen baggage, $500,000 travel accident, flight delay, hotel or motel burglary, rental car theft and damage, Purchase Security, Purchase Protection.
Like all American Express Canada Cards, there is no minimum income requirement.
MGM Resorts International is renowned for its entertainment-focused hotels, which include casinos and other conference facilities, varied entertainment experiences and its dining and nightlife offerings.
If you’ve ever been to Las Vegas, you’ve undoubtedly seen their many hotels, and you may even have visited a few.
