If you’ve been to Las Vegas, you know that the city is known for its over-the-top experiences around every corner. From hotels, dining, live entertainment, and more, it often feels like magic is woven Into the city's fabric.
Now, Marriott Bonvoy Moments, Inspired by MGM Collection, brings even more magic to the already grandiose city. The widely loved loyalty program offers its members incredible once-in-a-lifetime experiences redeemable via points from qualifying hotel stays and spending on Bonvoy-branded credit cards.
These Moments were created to mark the new partnership between Marriott International and MGM Resorts International and celebrate the debut of the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy. The larger-than-life memories created by this partnership capture all the uniqueness that Las Vegas has to offer.
Moments can range from pairing exclusive dining affairs at Michael Mina with captivating evenings at Cirque du Soleil’s Ka, Mad Apple, the Bellagio’s own “O,” and so much more. While varying dining and entertainment Moments will change intermittently but to some degree always be available, some of the rare packages will reflect exciting famous Vegas landmarks and happenings.
Marriott Bonvoy Elite member Scott Krupa was one of the lucky ones when he cashed in his 2.4 million Marriott Bonvoy points for a bid on one of the most exciting Moments. For the first time, a guest would get the opportunity to choreograph their very own fountain show at the Bellagio. The package included learning all about the intricate tech and engineering that goes into the production of the shows, along with working with the creative team at WET to choose his music and choreography and bring his vision to life.
He finally got to surround himself with friends and family at the Bellagio's The Mayfair Supper Club for his show's premiere. “When I discovered this incredible Marriott Bonvoy Moments opportunity to choreograph the Fountains of Bellagio show, I couldn’t resist, and I eagerly redeemed my points for an experience beyond anything I had ever imagined,” Krupa said in a press release.
Set to U2’s “Beautiful Day,” his show will forever be included in the now 40 shows of the iconic fountain displays. While we might have to wait to become the next greatest aquatic choreo master, awe-inspiring Moments surrounding the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix are already open to bidding. Packages include hotel stays, dinners, and even the opportunity to watch the main straight from on top of the fountain itself.

Germany’s got a big secret: It’s got islands. And not the rocky, desolate, and uninhabited kind, but islands with miles of sandy beaches, picturesque cliffs, peaceful, protected forests, and seaside luxury hotels. The Germans obviously are in the know, and because of their geographical locations, the Dutch and Danes are, too. But nobody else in in the world seems to remember that Germany has a coastline on both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, let alone that this coastline is peppered with dozens of islands. The biggest of all the German islands is Rügen in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, itself a wildly underrated area. While Rügen takes a little effort to get to, the trip is hardly insurmountable, and travelers who want to see Germany away from the big urban centers, internationally known beer festivals, and packed tourist attractions would be remiss to pass on it.
