Ive looked at Caesars and MGM credit cards, and they don’t seem amazing. Any advise out there? I can easily spend $250k on a card if it gets me a certain status to get cheap rooms and/ avoid resort fees. I don’t do much gambling.
Thanks in advance!
Keeping it simple and not looking for the most per spend category, For the $500K spend I would either churn cards ( new sign up bonuses) or use the Chase INK business unlimited card at 1.5 UR per $1 spent ..............that's 750K UR assuming you have a card that lets you convert the points to UR

If you are paying for 3-5 rooms for 14 - 21 nights a year ( up to 105 room nights) that alone should give you CET Diamond ( or higher) or MGM gold regardless of what credit card you use to pay and without any gambling or cash spent on meals, etc

Assuming you have a players card and stay at the same casino ( MGM CET, etc) brand I have no idea how you aren't already getting free rooms.

As was already stated, you can only get resort fees waived on 2 rooms at MGM, one at CET
