Sin City isn’t so sinful when you can save cash by redeeming hotel loyalty points for your stay. Some of the best hotels in Las Vegas are part of hotel loyalty programs. That means you could have some extra spending money if you play your cards right.

After you rack up hotel points via travel, credit card spending or points transfers from credit card or airline partners, it’s time to put those points to use. Redeeming hotel points for a Las Vegas vacation can be a great way to squeeze maximum value from them. These are some of the best points and miles hotels in Vegas worth considering.

Whether you’re looking for glitz and glamour or you just want a comfortable place to sleep, you’ll find it all in Las Vegas. But some points and miles hotels are better deals than others. Here are some top picks.

1. Hyatt Place Las Vegas (World of Hyatt, Budget)

Just over 2 miles from the Strip, Hyatt Place Las Vegas is a no-frills, comfortable place to stay. Shed the extras like a spa, casino and shopping corridors for maximum value here. When you are done shopping and gambling on the Strip, return here to enjoy the pool, complimentary breakfast and 24-hour fitness center.

This Hyatt Place is a bargain, starting at 9,000 points for a standard room during off-peak time. NerdWallet values World of Hyatt points at 2.3 cents per point.

There are many ways to accumulate Hyatt points, including transferring them from Chase Ultimate Rewards®. If you have elite status with Hyatt, you can earn bonus points when you fly on American Airlines by linking your World of Hyatt account with your AAdvantage account. Best of all, there are no resort fees when redeeming World of Hyatt points.

2. Doubletree by Hilton Las Vegas East Flamingo (Hilton Honors, Budget)

Doubletree by Hilton Las Vegas East Flamingo (formerly Four Points by Sheraton Las Vegas East Flamingo) isn't the place to stay if you want to indulge at a spa or enjoy fine dining. Instead, this hotel is best for visitors who want to stretch their Hilton Honors points. The hotel has an outdoor pool, free underground parking and convenient access to offsite dining options.

If you’re short on Hilton Honors points, you can transfer American Express Membership Rewards or earn more from a Hilton co-branded credit card like the Hilton Honors American Express Card. Hilton’s top elite members can also enjoy other benefits like bonus points and welcome gifts including breakfast or an amenity.

Redemption rates for a standard room vary, but we found nights starting at 26,000 points. NerdWallet values Hilton points at 0.5 cent per point.

3. Mandalay Bay (World of Hyatt, Mid-tier)

Las Vegas has lots of great mid-tier properties, some on the Strip. World of Hyatt fans get even more places to redeem their points thanks to a loyalty program partnership with MGM’s MGM Rewards: The Mirage, Vdara and The Signature at MGM Grand are among the MGM resorts bookable with World of Hyatt points in this price range.

Located on the Strip, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is a favorite for travelers who enjoy spending time by the pool. The resort has its own faux beach with real sand, lazy river and wave pool, which provide a great respite from the desert sun.

World of Hyatt elite members will earn bonus points when they pay for a stay here. MGM’s MGM Rewards elite members can also take advantage of reciprocal status and benefits with World of Hyatt by linking their accounts. Effective Sept. 30, the MGM/Hyatt partnership is ending. MGM has announced a forthcoming partnership with Marriott Bonvoy set to launch in 2024. You can read more on that here.

Rooms start at 17,000 World of Hyatt points for a standard room during off-peak time. Unfortunately, when you use your Hyatt points at Mandalay Bay, the $39 nightly resort fee still applies.

4. Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Curio Collection by Hilton (Hilton Honors, Mid-tier)

This stylish property blends the signature Virgin creativity with some Las Vegas razzle-dazzle. It is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. Impressive dining options include Mexican, Thai and Mediterranean outlets and Japanese cuisine at world-renowned Nobu from Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Virgin Hotels Las Vegas also has a casino and sportsbook for gamblers who don’t want to go to the Strip for all their playtime.

You can earn Hilton Honors points by staying at Hilton family properties or transfer credit card points to Hilton Honors from American Express Membership Rewards or Chase Ultimate Rewards® among others. You can also accrue points via a Hilton Honors co-branded credit card like the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, which comes with automatic Diamond status (Hilton’s highest tier). Terms apply.

The number of Hilton Honors points you’ll need for a stay here varies. We found nights starting at 28,000 points. NerdWallet values Hilton Honors points at 0.5 cent per point.

5. The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort (IHG One Rewards, Luxury)

Las Vegas’s high-end hotels are synonymous with a visit to Sin City, like The Bellagio, famous for its impressive art collection and choreographed fountains, and the Waldorf-Astoria, known for its sky bar and sushi menu. Here are a few popular options for redeeming points.

The Palazzo at The Venetian aims to impress with its beautiful design meant to look like its namesake city. Enormous suites, a Canyon Ranch Spa and a pool deck are among the big draws for guests.

You can earn IHG One Rewards by staying at participating hotels. You can also transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards® points to IHG’s program or earn more from IHG co-branded credit cards like IHG® One Rewards Premier Credit Card.

IHG prices award redemptions dynamically, which means the cost for a standard redemption can vary by date. It can be as low as 24,000 points some nights. NerdWallet values IHG Rewards points at 0.8 cent per point.

6. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection (Marriott Bonvoy, Luxury)

At The Cosmopolitan, Marriott Bonvoy members can use points to book a room with a terrace overlooking the dancing fountains of Bellagio and the shimmering lights of the Strip.

Marriott Bonvoy points are a valuable currency, and you can earn them from hotel stays, transfer partners like Chase Ultimate Rewards® and Marriott co-branded credit cards. Marriott Bonvoy’s top elite members can also enjoy other benefits like bonus points and welcome gifts like breakfast or an amenity.
