MGM Resorts offers a 10% military discount on hotel rooms and dining through its Military & Veterans Program (MVP). Eligible service members, veterans, and their spouses get 10% off room rates at MGM resorts across the country and 10% off food and beverage at participating restaurants and bars — plus an automatic upgrade to Pearl status in MGM Rewards, which brings complimentary self-parking and other perks. It is one of the most generous hotel military programs in the U.S., covering iconic Las Vegas resorts as well as regional properties from Atlantic City to Biloxi.
The MVP program is an extension of MGM Rewards, MGM Resorts’ loyalty program. Signing up is free, and once you have your MVP MGM Rewards card, the discounts apply across MGM Resorts destinations nationwide. Below is who qualifies, what you actually save, and how to join.
Who is Eligible for the MGM Resorts Military Discount?
According to the official MVP terms on mgmresorts.com, the program is open to MGM Rewards members who are:
- U.S. active-duty military
- National Guard & Reserve members
- Retired military (served honorably at least 20 years)
- Prior-service military (served less than 20 years, with proof of service)
- Spouses of eligible military personnel
That is a broad net — it covers not just active duty and retirees but also veterans who served less than 20 years, as long as they can show proof of service. Accepted proof includes a military ID (active duty, Reserve, Guard, retiree, or spouse/dependent), a VA ID card, Form DD-214, or a state-issued ID or driver’s license with a veteran designation. Note that the program is for military members and their spouses — it does not extend to police, firefighters, or other first responders.
How Much Military Discount Does MGM Resorts Provide?
The headline MGM military discount is 10% off room rates and 10% off select food and beverage purchases. MGM’s program covers 10% discounts on rooms at 17 resorts around the country, and MGM National Harbor states the deal plainly on its own pages: eligible guests receive 10% off at participating food and beverage outlets and 10% off hotel room rates every day.
On top of the 10%, MVP members get an automatic upgrade to Pearl status in MGM Rewards. Pearl status brings complimentary self-parking at MGM Resorts properties, a 10% bonus on SLOT DOLLARS earned, and rewards points that do not expire due to inactivity. MVP members also receive special discounts on shows, attractions, spa treatments, and wedding packages, with the exact savings varying by property. For example, the Spa and Salon at Beau Rivage gives military members and veterans 25% off all services daily.
MGM Resorts destinations include Las Vegas resorts such as Bellagio, ARIA, Vdara, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, and New York-New York, plus Beau Rivage and Gold Strike in Mississippi, MGM Grand Detroit, MGM National Harbor in Maryland, and Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Because discounts vary by property, always confirm the military rate when you book — the 10% room and dining discount is the program-wide baseline.
