Credit Cards for Las Vegas

TheDude — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 00:35:39 GMT

Hi All, I saw there was an old post on here from 7 years ago about good credit cards to have if you are going to Las Vegas. I was hoping to get some more current input on here on what cards people are using / recommending today.

I'm interested to hear your experiences on extra perks or savings, regardless of what you like to do in Las Vegas, for example:

Status matching with any of the casino rewards programs
Room discounts, or savings on resort fees or parking
Discounts on food & entertainment
Gambling perks
Any other categories I might be missing

TIA

With the exception of the passing mention of the M Life MasterCard, however, none of those are credit cards. That's just comparing the various reward card programs the different casinos each have (if you have never been to Vegas, you basically need a different membership for each different place you decide to gamble, unless sometimes when they're owned by the same company/group).

As an easier alternative (no worries about travel, accomodation, food and drink) consider staying at home and sending me a money order for $2K. Within two weeks (so a longer "trip" than usual, even better value), I will send you back between $0 and $100K !

Doesn't look like we have any active Vegas goers with new info ATM. Not surprised, after COVID. Too bad, I was interested in the response to the inquiry.

I looked over the 2017 thread OP referred to, and I don't think any changes since then greatly affect their advice.
