I couldn't find the 2br suite online - had to call them to get a quote. Also couldn't find any other top hotels with a 2br suite.
If anyone has done this before, any tips on getting the best price? Is there a hospitality agent I could be talking to get a better rate and/or other perks? I have MLife Platinum (through Hyatt Diamond) if that matters at all.
Thanks much!
In Las Vegas, a lot of suites are available only by phone and the fanciest suites, such as those where celebrities stay, are not offered online or by calling the general reservations number.
Do you and and your friends plan on wagering a lot of money in the casino? If so, it'd be a good idea to get a casino host. This tends to work better if you already have some playing history. A good host can help you get access to nicer suites, clubs, etc.
For MGM properties, the "player's club" call center is called VIP Services. Unlike the general reservations number, each property has its own VIP Services desk which tends to be open a couple hours longer than typical business hours. These phone numbers can be found within the individual offers posted on your MLife account. There is no fee to use these call centers, though rates may vary from the promotions on your online account. Do note that online rates vary depending on which offer you select or if you simply use the booking widget without selecting an offer.
Do note that it can be significantly cheaper to book multiple standard rooms or basic suites than booking one deluxe suite. If booking a very deluxe suite, note that there's a small chance that you might end up with a different type of suite if there are enough VIP guests desiring the of suite you originally reserved.
