We do plan on more international travel next year where there are Hyatt locations and really enjoy the breakfast and room upgrade perks (among others). Having said that I think that over a year span we would get way more value from the perks than the $800-1000 it would cost to get those extra stays needed in Vegas to qualify for Diamond.
If you're able to get a room that cheap and airfare that cheap, I'd say go for it especially since you are planning international travel. Plus, its not like you are doing a mattress run to the middle of nowhere, Vegas has a couple things to do and see...
My problem wouldn't be the travel expenses doing mattress runs to Vegas, it would be the blackjack tables...
