How to Use Marriott Bonvoy® Points in Las Vegas

With dozens of Marriott hotels in the Las Vegas area, figuring out where to burn your Bonvoy points isn’t easy. Should you splurge on an iconic Strip property, or save your certificates at a low-key off-Strip hotel that avoids resort fees? Is it worth seeking a Marriott with free breakfast, in a city known for world-class dining?

And thanks to Marriott’s relationship with MGM Resorts, many of the most famous hotels on the Strip are now bookable with Bonvoy points. That means you can redeem for a night at the Bellagio or Cosmopolitan — but you can also get clever and stretch your points at less-flashy properties nearby.

Here’s your ultimate guide to getting the most out of Marriott Bonvoy points in Las Vegas:

In this article:

• Marriotts on the Las Vegas Strip

• Marriotts slightly off the Las Vegas Strip

• Marriotts near the Las Vegas Convention Center

• Marriotts near Allegiant Stadium

• Other Las Vegas Marriotts

• Using free night certificates

MGM Resorts dominates the landscape of Las Vegas hotels. And thanks to a partnership with Marriott International and MGM Resorts, it's possible to book those hotels using Marriott Bonvoy points. You can also use these hotels to cash in Marriott free night certificates or to flex Marriott elite status. We won't list every single MGM property here — as there are many — but kow you have tons of options as a Marriott Bonvoy member in Las Vegas.

Bellagio Hotel and Casino: best for splurge-worthy redemptions

The Bellagio Hotel and Casino epitomizes Las Vegas style and luxury. Its most iconic features include the mesmerizing Fountains of Bellagio, the Dale Chihuly hand-blown glass flowers on the lobby ceiling and the Bellagio Conservatory, which changes based on the season.

Rooms here are among the priciest not just of any Marriott-affiliated hotel in Vegas — but any hotel period. That said, you can still find deals depending on when you book. After all, some nights rooms run less than $200 (that's if you go during the off-season). But we also found some examples where rooms were going for more than $1,000 — and that's before resort fees.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection: best for location and nightlife

"The Cosmo" is the cream of the crop for sparkling Marriott hotels in Las Vegas. Because Marriott uses a dynamic pricing system for award stays, the cost to stay here varies based on demand. Rates usually range from 70,000-100,00 points per night (plus a resort fee).

Why splurge here? Because it’s central, sandwiched between Bellagio and Aria, and it feels like an all-in-one Vegas vacation. Three pools, celebrity chefs, and Marquee Nightclub mean you can fill a weekend without ever leaving the property. If you want your Bonvoy points to deliver on sheer experience, this is it.

Aria: best for a refined Vegas

Aria doesn’t get quite the Instagram love of Bellagio or Cosmo, but it’s a classy, modern Strip hotel with standout perks. Think multiple pools with shaded cabanas, spa treatments that go beyond massages (yes, microneedling), and one of the best restaurants in Vegas, Din Tai Fung.

Award rates tend to be slightly lower than Bellagio or Cosmo, so it can be a good sweet spot for points redemptions. This is also a solid candidate for using a Free Night Award from a 50K certificate with a small top-off.

These hotels are your go-tos if you’re attending an event at the Las Vegas Convention Center, don’t mind a rideshare (or monorail) to get to the Strip or are in town for an event being held elsewhere and you will have a rental car.

Las Vegas Marriott and Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel

If you’re looking for an elevated experience away from the noise and chaos of the Strip, both the Las Vegas Marriott and Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel fit the bill. Each has a pool and fitness center, along with a Starbucks and easy access to the Las Vegas Monorail to get you to the Strip. The Las Vegas Marriott boasts two restaurants, whereas the Renaissance has only one.

An award night at either of these hotels will usually run you 30,000 to 40,000 Bonvoy points. It is important to note that the Renaissance will tack on a resort fee to your stay, even if booked on points.

SpringHill Suites, Residence Inn and Courtyard

You can save some points at any of these three hotels, which will generally run you 20,000 to 30,000 points per night. For an award stay, your best bet is either the SpringHill Suites Las Vegas Convention Center or the Residence Inn Las Vegas Convention Center.

In addition to the standard amenities (pool, fitness center, restaurant), they both also have complimentary breakfast each morning and suite-style rooms with more space than a standard guest room. The Residence Inn has fully equipped kitchens in the rooms as well.

Courtyard by Marriott Las Vegas Stadium Area: best for budget redemptions

The Courtyard Las Vegas Stadium is about a 10-minute drive from the airport, 6 minutes from Mandalay Bay and walkable to Allegiant Stadium. It’s not flashy, but it’s practical — and it often prices out at just 20,000–30,000 points per night. That makes it one of the absolute best places to use a 35K certificate and save your top-ups for fancier Strip stays.

The rooms are huge compared to typical Vegas hotels, with suites that include a king bed, sofa bed and extra seating. No resort fees, a palm-framed pool, fitness center and even on-site laundry make it a smart, low-cost base for sports weekends or longer stays. Parking is $20 (a steal in Vegas), and pets are welcome for $100 per stay.

Marriott credit cards often come with annual free night certificates worth 35,000, 50,000 or even 85,000 points. In Vegas, you can stretch these by:

• Using 35K certificates at off-Strip properties like The Westin Las Vegas, Courtyard Stadium, or Westin Lake Las Vegas. These redemptions avoid high cash rates and resort fees while keeping points costs low.

• Using 50K certificates plus top-offs for Strip properties like Aria or Bellagio, especially during off-peak dates when rates dip.

• Saving 85K certificates for bucket-list stays at The Cosmopolitan during high-demand weekends, when points rates soar.

Because Marriott allows up to 15,000 points to be added to a certificate redemption, you can stretch the value even further — turning what might be a $500+ room into a single cert plus a handful of points.

Las Vegas has no shortage of Marriott options, but the smartest redemption strategy comes down to matching your certificates and points balance with the right hotel. Splurge with points at Bellagio or Cosmo for the classic Strip experience. Or stretch your free nights at off-Strip hotels like Courtyard Stadium or Westin Lake Las Vegas for unbeatable value.

Either way, the Marriott–MGM partnership means your Bonvoy points now unlock just about every kind of Vegas vacation you can imagine.
