Las Vegas is full of amazing hotels. And unlike other vacation spots, the hotels in Vegas are themselves often the destination. From casino mega-properties to boutique hotels with personalized service, there is something for everyone. World of Hyatt members can earn and redeem plenty of points when visiting Sin City including two Hyatt Place properties — one on Paradise Road and another at Silverton Village — for those not looking for a huge casino resort.

The best Hyatt hotels in Las Vegas are often found on The Strip, but they may not have the Hyatt name anywhere on the facade or near the front desk. Here’s why — most of the World of Hyatt hotels in Las Vegas are part of the MGM Resorts portfolio.

Through a unique partnership between the two brands, World of Hyatt fans have reciprocal perks and status earning with MGM’s M live Rewards program, which opens up a lot of world-famous hotels.

One of the best perks for World of Hyatt members redeeming points for a stay is that resort fees, common in Las Vegas, are waived. This can represent substantial savings that allow you to play an extra round of slots or table games or do a little extra shopping with a few more bucks in your pocket.

Even without Hyatt in the property name, these are some of the best Hyatt hotels in Las Vegas where you can redeem your points.

Top 5 World of Hyatt hotels on the Strip

1. Bellagio

This hotel is no stranger to visitors thanks to its choreographed, dancing fountains.

Its conservatory and botanical gardens attract plenty of visitors as does its long roster of restaurants and buffets. With nearly 4,000 guest rooms, this is like a small city with a lavish spa, casino and shopping all within its doors. As a Category 6 property, a points redemption starts at 25,000 points per night for a standard room.

5. Mandalay Bay

It is hard to miss the shimmering glass of Mandalay Bay’s exterior — the tower dominates the landscape and it's especially close to the airport. This enormous hotel covers 120 acres and includes a mega-casino, designer shops and many dining options.

What it really earns attention for, however, is its artificial beach with a sandy shoreline, wave pool, lazy river and beach bungalows, cabanas and seating. This makes it a great option for families, especially during the warmer months. Mandalay Bay is a Category 5 World of Hyatt property with redemption nights for a standard accommodation starting at 20,000 points.

How to earn World of Hyatt points quickly

World of Hyatt points are easier to earn than you might think. You don’t even have to stay in a hotel to boost your balance. The program has forged a solid number of partnerships with other brands to help Hyatt loyalty program members earn more points to use toward hotel redemptions. Here are some of the best options to help you get to Las Vegas faster.

• World of Hyatt Credit Card: Earn 30,000 Bonus Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. Plus, up to 30,000 More Bonus Points by earning 2 Bonus Points total per $1 spent in the first 6 months from account opening on purchases that normally earn 1 Bonus Point, on up to $15,000 spent. That’s a lot of points for the $95 annual fee and for purchases that you might normally make anyway.

• Browse the partnerships: World of Hyatt has a number of partnerships that allow for points earning, but one with American Airlines is particularly intriguing if you hold elite status in AAdvantage and World of Hyatt. After linking your accounts, you can take advantage of reciprocal elite status and earn one World of Hyatt point for every dollar spent on American flights. For frequent fliers, this is a great way to double dip and earn both American and Hyatt miles and points.

• Transfer points from Chase Ultimate Rewards®. World of Hyatt is a transfer partner with Chase Ultimate Rewards®. This means you can move points from Chase to World of Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio when you are short of points on a redemption.
