Credit Cards for Las Vegas

[TheDude]

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

1 - Platinum (FHR Benefits/Lounge benefit)

2 - Hilton Aspire (free night credits plus status/airline credit)

3 - Amex Gold (For all food/drinks)

4 - (Top tier Hotel/Airline Card if Hilton isn't your preferred hotel)

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.
