MGM Rewards Loyalty Program- Levels and Tiers Breakdown
MGM Rewards, formerly known as “The M Life Program,” is a loyalty program where players and vacationers can earn Tier Credits in a variety of ways. In this video, you can learn more about MGM Casino Benefits for each level as well as how to earn points to reach the next tier status. We discuss the 5 tier levels: Sapphire, Pearl, Gold, Platinum, and even MGM's Noir- Invite only tier.
How do you earn tier points with MGM Rewards?
One way to earn tier points with MGM Rewards is with non-gaming spend like hotel bookings, F&B purchases, and show tickets. You can earn 4 tier credits for every $1 spent. Another way is through sports betting. For every $100 wagered on a straight bet, you'll get 20 tier credits. For every $100 wagered on a Parlay, you'll get 50 tier credits. As you've probably already assumed, you can earn tier credits playing slots, video poker, and table games. The number of tier credits you earn will vary based on the game, average bet, and time played as well as the region of which MGM Casino you're playing at.
MGM Rewards Tier Levels and Benefits
The MGM Rewards Program has 5 Different Tier Levels that you can attain based on the number of reward tier credits that you earn over the course of a year. Each different Tier Level has its own unique set of rewards and benefits.
Everybody that starts out at MGM rewards will start out as a Sapphire (0-19,999 Tier Credits). As a Sapphire, you can earn Reward Points and are also guaranteed the lowest room rates.
Once you hit Pearl, you get an extra 10% in Bonus Slot Dollars for your play. Actually, for every Incremental Level you reach, you get an additional 10%. An additional benefit as a Pearl Member is you get Complimentary Tickets to select shows at MGM Rewards destinations.
Once you hit 75,000 Tier Credits, you become a Gold Member in MGM Rewards. As a Gold Member, you get your Resort Fee waived, Complimentary Valet, and you also get Free Enhanced Room Upgrades.
Once you attain 200,000 Tier Credits with MGM Rewards, you become a Platinum Member. As a Platinum Member, you'll get Early Preferred Access to Premium Seating at select shows and Sporting Events. AND you get either a Royal Caribbean or Celebrity Cruise Lines Complimentary Cruise for two. (That's something URComped can help with as well)
Last, but certainly not least is the Noir Tier. This is an Invite-Only Tier! If you receive an invite to join Noir, you get $1,200 in Air Credit as well as $500 in Complimentary Dining Credit in addition to all the extra comps you earn for that level of play.
As you can tell, the MGM Rewards Program certainly makes it worth it to graduate to different Tier Levels. So we highly recommend that next time you're visiting MGM property make sure to sign up for an MGM Rewards Card and start earning those Tier Credits.

Not worth 42.00 dinner. I've had better at a more better rate pp. Sweets station, cupcake and bars are dry. The snow crab was good and the service. Outside birds in dining hall. I'm going back to the Citizens @mandalay.

The food at brunch was decent but nothing with a wow factor or spectacular. If you're a foodie like I am there are much better options in this diverse city. I keep thinking a buffet will satisfy the foodie/health nut in me but I've yet to find one I think is worth it. However if you're into American fare that's loaded with gluten, sugar, fried, and greasy foods this could definitely satisfy you ;). That's not all that's offered by any means but that's a lot of it.

This buffet was so disappointing. It is one of the more expensive buffets but has less options and lower quality than others. Don’t waste your money here. Sushi had only one type available, and they looked old, refrigerated overnight. The eggs Benedict were served with lunch ham and on a soggy roll, not muffin. Everything was dried out from the heat lamps. We mostly went because the website said there was international cuisine. The Mexican food looked like gas station food, and I could only stomach one bite from flash frozen “burritos”. The Indian food had two horrible potato “dishes.” The Indian food tasted like it was actually minestrone with curry powder. They had an entire row of only steamed veggies! Why am I spending all this money to eat unlimited steamed veggies?!

Great variety on the buffet, which I appreciated, given the price point is easily the best value in the hotel/casino. Even for the dinner buffet, at the higher price point, you will spend about the same per person at just about any sit down restaurant, outside of the food court.
The buffet itself was varied, with Chinese, prime rib, various pork cuts, southern classics. Let's be honest, 80% of the buffet is cheap comfort food, and the other 20% is why most people come.
The dessert bar is small, with a good but not great selection. You can tell between this and the pastry snack stop, that unlike some of its contemporaries, this hotel doesn't have a good pastry / dessert chef. Instead, the selections are easy cake or cream affairs.
Best results are had by coming early after lunch or dinner food is set out - or to brave the line to eat at peak times. At peak times you may need to wait for some dishes but you are guaranteed a freshness by virtue of the high turnover.

This buffet was amazing! We only experienced the brunch buffet but there was everything we could ever want...and more! Wait staff was also awesome! Very friendly and attentive. Could be thought of as expensive but we left so full, it was the only meal we needed that day. For us it was definitely worth the money. Enjoy!

This used to be one of my favorite buffets in Vegas. Unfortunately it has gone way way downhill. I feel sorry for the people who are staying here and need to eat here. The food was not great, in fact mostly not good at all. Slim choices for hot foods, and the desserts were like a crappy cafeteria. There were just a few items that I felt were even just good. It also peeved me that you are asked to give a tip when you check in, with set amounts. I chose 18%, and then found that you don't even get table service. You get your own drinks, and wait in line for house wine and beer. So what are you tipping for?? The line was so long we didn't even take advantage of the drinks either.
MGM, you can do better than this!!

The Service: Servers were attentive. Constantly refilling the drinks and cleaning away the dirty plates.
The Food: The food quality..... POOR! The dinner & brunch buffets are $33 including tax. They do have many varieties of food choice; however, the quality is like Hometown buffet. Quantity... but no quality!
Many of the dishes are not flavorful, very bland. The meat section... very dry and overcooked. Seafood section.... not really fresh.
Definitely won't try here again.

This buffet was just average to me. Nothing was bad but nothing stood out either. We ate here once a day with the free buffet promotion. The brunch was the best meal of the day by far. You can get eggs to order & the wait wasn't too bad. The staff keeps the place clean & are very friendly. Food selection is good too. I'm just not sure I would be eating there if we were paying full price for the meal.

Great food, Crab Leg/Seafood Station was amazing and worth waiting in line to get the steamed option. Wide selection of desserts and clean dining area. Although the bar was only $9 to add on unlimited drinks, almost not worth it. I got a whiskey sour and couldn't finish; it was so strong it was not enjoyable to drink. Tried to get the Peach Bellini instead thinking it would be sweeter and easier to drink but it was almost sour tasting, I took it to go and left it somewhere in the casino.
