Delano Las Vegas Review

July 25, 2022December 15, 2015

One thing I have noticed about Las Vegas hotels: Good hard product, terrible soft product. Like so much of Vegas; hotels have a flashy, beautiful sheen but go beyond the surface and it loses it’s sheen. Delano Las Vegas is a great looking property with service that disappoints. Location: First you should know that … Read more

Bonus Hyatt Gold Passport Points in Las Vegas

July 25, 2022July 16, 2015

There has been a standing relationship between Hyatt and Mlife resorts in Las Vegas. You can do an elite status match between the two loyalty programs and earn Hyatt Gold Passport points in Las Vegas when staying at an Mlife resort.

Today Hyatt announced a new bonus offer for earning Hyatt Gold Passport points in Las Vegas known as Third Night’s a Charm. If you register at hyatt.com/vegassummer, you will earn bonus points after a three night stay through September 30.

Your room must be booked direct through Hyatt (I was told via a Hyatt rep on Twitter that bookings through Mlife don’t count). Expedia or another OTA won’t work. You also can’t book a room with points. Cash + Point reservations are only at Hyatt properties so those are also not eligible.

@single_flyer It must be booked through Hyatt directly. ^as
