Last year, Hyatt teased a new partnership in Las Vegas that would see The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (made up of The Venetian and The Palazzo) join World of Hyatt. As of now, that partnership is live, and World of Hyatt members can now earn and burn at the only all-suite resort on the Strip.

Starting Jan. 9, World of Hyatt members can earn and redeem points on qualifying stays at The Venetian and The Palazzo if booked through Hyatt's direct channels (like the Hyatt website or app). They can also earn credit toward earning tier status and Milestone Rewards, check off a new Brand Explore Award box, and earn points at participating retailers and restaurants when charged to the room.

Elite members with qualifying stays at The Venetian Resort can expect to earn:

They can also redeem points for free nights at The Venetian and The Palazzo as well as 1,350-plus Hyatt hotels globally.

Restaurants owned by The Venetian Resort (like Bouchon by chef Thomas Keller and Cut by Wolfgang Puck) will participate in the program. But don't expect to earn money everywhere — like at Tao or its world-famous nightclub.

The Venetian Resort joining World of Hyatt is a big win for the Chicago-based hotel company and its 40-plus million loyalty members, considering that a significant strategic relationship between Hyatt and MGM Resorts (and its many hotels) ended in 2023. When that partnership ended, Hyatt loyalists looking to visit Sin City had few options, namely the off-strip Rio Hotel & Casino.

Now, Hyatt members can once again earn and burn on the Strip — and feel like they're in Venice, Italy, while doing so.

"This is just such a great partnership and match for our expansion and presence in Vegas," Laurie Blair, Hyatt's head of global marketing, told TPG in a briefing about the partnership. "[It will] be so beneficial for World of Hyatt members.

At the moment, however, the partnership might not benefit members of The Venetian's own loyalty program, Venetian Rewards (formerly Grazie Rewards). For now, Venetian Rewards will remain fully independent and will not offer status match opportunities or other mutual benefits, as seen in similar partnerships with gambling-focused resorts.

Since TPG's last review of the all-suite Venetian Resort in 2023, the property has been working on a $1.5 billion (yes, billion) reinvestment of the property. It includes a new design across The Venetian's 4,000 all-suite rooms, new restaurants and an overhaul of the property's convention center.

This comes after the majorly successful opening of The Sphere at The Venetian, one of the world's most technologically advanced entertainment venues; it doubles as a 300-foot-tall domed screen on the outside and a 20,000-seat venue inside. It has already
