The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Now Integrated into MGM Rewards Loyalty Program
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is now officially integrated into MGM Rewards, allowing members to earn and redeem MGM Rewards at one of the world’s most distinctive luxury resorts while also creating a seamless loyalty experience throughout all MGM Resorts’ destinations, in Las Vegas and nationwide.
“This marks an important milestone for The Cosmopolitan as we become fully integrated into MGM Rewards, introducing our resort amenities to a broad new audience while offering our loyal guests unparalleled access to iconic destinations across Las Vegas. We’re looking forward to welcoming MGM Rewards members from our Las Vegas and regional markets who now have the ability to earn and redeem at The Cosmopolitan as they enjoy the resort’s exceptional accommodations, dining, entertainment, slots and table games,” Sean Lanni, President and COO of The Cosmopolitan, said.
Former Identity members of The Cosmopolitan can now unlock perks at over 20 MGM Resorts’ properties nationwide including access to more than 40,000 hotel rooms and luxury suites, over 400 restaurants and bars, and world-class entertainment offerings. With the integration, MGM Rewards members with select Tier Status can enjoy their enhanced tier benefits at The Cosmopolitan, including priority access lines, waived resort fees, air travel credits, dining credits, and cruise offers.
Anil Mansukhani, VP of Loyalty for MGM Resorts, said: “Integrating this beloved resort into MGM Rewards enhances our ability to deliver unforgettable moments and unprecedented access for our members at one of the most celebrated resorts in the city. This is an exciting step in the program’s continued evolution as we deliver a truly seamless loyalty experience throughout all of our resorts nationwide.”
Identity Points accumulated in The Cosmopolitan’s former Identity rewards program through July 29 have been transferred to those members’ MGM Rewards accounts as MGM Rewards Points and SLOT DOLLARS and members immediately qualify for FREEPLAY offers, promotions, and discounted rooms at all MGM Resorts’ destinations, consistent with program rules. Former Identity members who were not MGM Rewards members at the time of the integration simply need to activate their newly created MGM Rewards account, while those former Identity members who were existing MGM Rewards members at the time of the integration will see their balances updated in their existing MGM Rewards account.
