Almost Free Vegas Trip

Dreaming of a Vegas getaway without the hefty price tag? Discover two insider tips to snag rooms at iconic MGM hotels for a fraction of the cost—or even free.

Las Vegas, the electrifying Sin City, is a destination like no other. It's where the excitement never sleeps, offering world-class entertainment, buzzing casinos, and iconic nightclubs with world-famous DJs. The famous Strip is the heart of it all, lined with dazzling resorts that promise an unforgettable stay. But let’s face it — staying in these glamorous hotels often comes with a hefty price tag. What if I told you there’s a way to stay at these MGM properties for just $55 or even free?

Disclaimer: This $55 rate applies only from Sunday to Thursday, and there are blackout dates for redemption.

Method 1: MGM Slot Machine Mobile Game

1. Download the official MGM slot machine mobile game.

2. Set up an MGM Rewards account with your preferred email address.

3. Link the slot machine mobile game to the same email address you used to set up your MGM Rewards account.

4. Start playing the game daily. You can leave it on auto-spin or just keep the screen on until you see a max sign on the left-hand corner (like the photo below), that means you collected the maximum amount for the day, and keep going until around 100,000.

   
   

   The Coins on the right is the amount you are allowed to play, (Do not pay for the game), look on the left

   
   

   

   
   

5. Collect coins until you reach the amount required to redeem a free room.

   
   
   

   
   
   

Once you have enough coins, a code will be sent to your MGM Rewards account, allowing you to book a free room (you’ll still need to pay the resort fee of $55).

This was last year and unfortunately, I don't think the game offers stays for Bellagio and Aria anymore

Method 2: MGM Players Card

1. Get a Players Card (MGM Rewards account) at any MGM property casino.

2. Deposit around $100-$150 into a slot machine.

3. Play for about 30 minutes. Take your time with the slots—don’t spend the money all at once. Play half the amount first.

4. Either cash out or finish playing the rest of your balance.

5. In a few weeks, you’ll start to receive an email with complimentary night offers.

   
   
   
   

   

   As you can see, I don't play that much, I made an account with the lowest status available

Important Notes

I’ve personally tested both methods, and they work! You might wonder why MGM offers free nights. The simple reason is that they hope you’ll enjoy the experience and return, possibly spending more money on gambling or other amenities.

Fair Warning: These tips are for people with self-control who won’t fall into the trap of trying to win their money back. The tips are ideal for those who want to enjoy Vegas’ clubs, food, and entertainment without overspending. Use this strategy to enhance your travel experiences, not to fuel gambling addiction.

I hope these tips help more people enjoy affordable luxury travel to Vegas while keeping things fun and responsible. Let me know if you give these methods a try!
