IHG One Rewards InterContinental Alliance Resorts InterContinental Hotels Group

Las Vegas Venetian and Palazzo 6,000 bonus Priority Club points

The newly branded InterContinental Alliance Resorts in Las Vegas – The Venetian and The Palazzo – have an introductory “6,000 Bonus Point Package” rate offer for hotel stays of three nights or more. Bonus Priority Club points are in addition to the 2,000 points normally earned for InterContinental Hotel stays for 8,000 points total per stay (about a $50 value). InterContinental Ambassador members receive benefits at these properties.

Book your stay by June 30 and receive these additional rate benefits:

  • 20% off Breakfast or Brunch provided by Morels
  • $30 off a bill of $60 or more provided by Zine
  • $35 off 50-min Massage or Facial provided by Canyon Ranch SpaClub
  • Complimentary line pass and admission provided by LAVO Nightclub
  • 2-for-1 well drinks provided by Salute Lounge

This offer requires first night deposit at time of booking and is fully refundable for cancellations at least 72 hours in advance.

Rates I checked for the 6,000 Bonus Point Package were $10 per night over the Best Flexible Rate.

Tip for finding the lowest hotel rates:  

Travelocity.com has a nice feature for seeing hotel rate information for the next 90 days by using the Flexible Dates feature. Simply look up any date for Las Vegas and click on the rate for the Venetian or the Palazzo. Travelocity has a Flexible Dates tab at the top of the page that shows the hotel rates for 90 days. This is much quicker than random date checks on IHG websites for finding low rate dates over a 3-day period and avoiding high rate dates when planning your trip.

Another tip for Las Vegas – Travel packages for airline + hotel often drop the hotel rate down to about $100 or less for the first night or two at many of the fine hotels in Las Vegas like Wynn, Encore, Bellagio, Mandarin Oriental, Venetian and Palazzo.

The hotel rate savings might be worth more than the points.

**Be sure to go back to the IHG website to make your hotel booking since Travelocity bookings do not earn Priority Club points.

    I’m guessing that reservations made before this announcement, and through Vegas.com, will not qualify for the “additional rate benefits…”

  • Ric Garrido April 12, 2011

    Vegas.com being a third-party site probably negates any Priority Club points and additional rate benefits.

    Hotels push direct bookings to avoid rate charges from third-party sites.

    The benefits of hotel loyalty programs are the incentive for direct bookings through the hotel’s own channels.

    The hotel can split the room revenue with you as the guest in the form of points and added benefits rather than splitting the room rate revenue with the third party company that sold you the hotel room.
