MGM Resorts makes key Las Vegas Strip resort casino cuts
The casino brand has mostly dropped a service that has long been a major part of the Las Vegas experience.
Since its inception, Las Vegas has been a city built around status, where money meant a nobody could become a somebody.
Yes, famous people get special treatment in Sin City, but a regular person who spends money gambling also gets special treatment. That could mean a comped dinner, free rooms, or other perks.

What used to be sort of a loose system of rewards has become formal loyalty programs. For lower-level gamblers, the perks you earn are spelled out in the loyalty programs offered by Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International (MGM) , and every other Las Vegas casino operator.
A mid-tier Caesars player gets a $100 loyalty dinner once a year, along with waived resort fees. Climb one level higher and you get four drink vouchers every day on the Las Vegas Strip.
Once you move toward the top tiers of many casino loyalty programs, the benefits become less defined. I once saw a casino restaurant set up a table in a hallway during Covid at the request of a member of my traveling party who was a very high-level rewards program member.
