Beware, the list of restaurants and bars the F&B credit can be used for is not all restaurants within MGM. It seems to only include the ones owned and operated by MGM. Outside vendors who rent space within the properties don't seem to count - this includes Din Tai Fung, the Crack Shack, etc. The full list is here: https://www.mgmresorts.com/en/offers...g-outlets.html

We've been doing Park MGM weekdays and Hyatt Place Silverton weekend on points. The free upgrade for Park MGM is to their StayWell rooms which are exactly the same size as the base rooms but come with an air filtration system in the room and memory foam bed. The Nightingale suite upgrade is $40 per night extra for gold members and the biggest suite was offered to me for an extra $100 a night but we took passed.

The $50 F&B can't be used to cover tip. It also can't be used for certain packaged food or bottled wine at the mini mart in Eataly. If the credit covers the entire check, it won't show in the app under room charges unless there's tip involved.

The Nomad Library has a fantastic 3 course chicken meal for 2 people for $100 on Mondays. Select bottles of wines are also 50% off, $30-60 after discount per bottle. We've been in Vegas for 2 weeks and this is the best meal on the strip so far for the price and it wasn't hard to get a reservation either.

Eataly is also a good budget place to spend and stay within the F&B credit limit. Most pasta dishes come out to $20-25, big sandwiches for $15, $5 glasses of wine 12PM-3PM at the wine shop, $10 off the wine tasting flights 3PM-5PM. If someone's looking to do a mattress run in Las Vegas while working remote, the $50 credit can reasonably feed someone for a day without leaving the Park MGM property.
Wow! Thanks for all the tips! We are doing the same exact thing without realizing too! Park MGM on weekdays and Hyatt Place Silverton on weekends on points. We actually got a comp upgrade to the Skylark suite for 5 nights on our Park MGM run because we ran into some operation issues. Anyway, another thing to look out for is the MGM Grand buffet, it only costs $27++ per person, so the daily $50 is an incredible deal to use there if you are a couple that can eat all morning. Their buffets run from 8am-3pm, and the options are decent but definitely more filling than the pastas in Eataly.
