Vdara stay / Hyatt Brand explorer

[RobH not Rob]

We’re UK based and booked a few nights at the Las Vegas Vdara (some on $$, some on points) for October via the Hyatt site.

Does the Vdara count towards the Hyatt Brand Explorer – 5 brands for a free night deal?

Amy point signing up to M LIFE / MGM to procure anything extra during our stay?

Can’t help with the 1st question, but the 2nd question is a definite yes. Obviously if you gamble, even very modestly, but even if you don’t gamble a penny, you can still get rewards for spend at restaurants, shops etc at MGM properties. Even basic members get modest discounts too (5% at shops or something like that) and potentially offers of free or discounted stuff in the future. Not life-changing but as it’s free and very easy to join (just go to the players desk in any casino) there is absolutely no downside.

Basically always show your card at any MGM property whenever you are spending money…
