For a prepaid Chase Travel stay of two nights or more. It uses one of your two $250 Edit credits for the year; this isn’t a double-credit hotel, so there’s no second $250.

Check the rate first

Chase Travel often charges more than the hotel’s own site, so compare before you book. If you find it cheaper within 24 hours of booking, ask Chase for a price match: it has to beat their price by more than $5 a night, for the same room and refund terms.

Edit stay with a modest floor bump

u/levir03 on r/ChaseSapphire, November 2026

  • Better floor or view
  • No early check-in

Their take: The guest found the Edit perks here underwhelming: standard benefits, a small floor bump and a long wait to check in.

Details
Upgrade
Only a slightly higher floor
Check-in
Room not ready until after 4 pm; app check-in failed, so they waited in the regular line

January stay with late checkout

u/Raindrop_96 on r/ChaseSapphire, November 2026

  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade
  • Late checkout

Their take: A straightforward stay: no room upgrade, but the dining credit worked and late checkout came by asking a day ahead.

Details
$100 credit
Given a list of eligible restaurants at check-in; charges go to the room and they confirmed the credit at checkout
Upgrade
None
Late checkout
Granted after asking the front desk the night before

Two rooms, one upgraded to a penthouse suite

u/Icy_Commercial_3632 on r/sapphirereserve, July 2026

  • $100 credit
  • Upgraded
  • Late checkout

Their take: A very helpful front desk turned a request for adjoining rooms into a penthouse suite upgrade.

Details
Booked
One Reef Suite plus one standard room with 2 queens, both through Chase
Upgrade
Asking for adjoining rooms at check-in got the standard room upgraded to a one-bedroom penthouse suite, the only room adjoining the Reef Suite (they tipped $50)
$100 credit
$100 per room, easy to use across all MGM properties
Breakfast
Not included
Late checkout
12pm instead of 11am because they booked through Chase; the hotel said it otherwise never gives late checkout on suites

Upgrade only after joining the in-person line

u/sourmiIk on r/ChaseSapphire, June 2026

  • Upgraded

Details
Check-in
The self check-in kiosk gave no sign of an upgrade, so they joined the in-person line to ask

Billed at checkout, so no Edit credit

u/Reepicheep8 on r/ChaseSapphire, May 2026

  • $250 credit didn’t post

Their take: A frustrating outcome: because the hotel billed them directly, the booking earned neither the Edit credit nor the 8x points.

Details
Booked
Booked through Chase Travel to use the Edit credit.
At checkout
The hotel charged the stay to their personal card at checkout, so they earned no 8x points and no Edit credit.

Only half of each property credit was applied

u/thatoneeyedkid on r/ChaseSapphire, March 2026

  • $100 credit, in part

Their take: A frustrating experience that left them wary of how MGM's Vegas casinos apply the credit.

Details
Booked
Two rooms, each on its own Edit reservation
$100 credit
Only about $50 of each room's $100 credit had been applied, which they found from their card statement and a call to MGM; the credits weren't itemized on the checkout receipt, and MGM was reluctant to send an itemized one

2-night stay with a long check-in and a missing credit

u/Jen-UWS83 on r/sapphirereserve, March 2026

  • No $100 credit
  • Better floor or view

Their take: A frustrating stay that left them disputing charges, and they won't return to this hotel.

Details
Check-in
Arrived at 2pm and waited about 52 minutes, with only four of twenty desks staffed; mobile check-in in the MGM Rewards app couldn't find the booking
Upgrade
After they asked, the clerk spent about 15 minutes getting a manager's permission to move them to a higher floor
$100 credit
A dining credit for listed participating restaurants only; their dinner billed to the room still appeared in full on the final folio, so they had to dispute it
At checkout
Self-checkout by dropping the keys in a box; the folio arrived two days later
Watch out
All but one pool was closed for the season and that one was packed, despite the $50 a day resort fee
Read it on Reddit ↗

Credit applied only at the desk

u/bstew1001 on r/sapphirereserve, March 2026

  • $100 credit, in part

Their take: Their Edit stays outside Vegas went better; here they had to insist on getting the credit.

Details
$100 credit
Missing from the final folio; they had to check out with a person and have it taken off manually
Resort fee
Should be included, so check the folio for any resort fee charges

Dining credit refused, then refunded after a fight

u/shiftersix on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • $100 credit, in part
Details
$100 credit
A meal charged to the room never got the credit; the hotel said that restaurant wasn't covered and Chase backed the hotel, but once they sent the Edit letter that listed the restaurant, the hotel refunded it about 2 weeks later
Watch out
Keep receipts and the benefits letter; fixing it took two letters and roughly 4 hours of calls

Underwhelming perks on a Vegas stay

u/cortodemente on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade
  • No early check-in
  • Late checkout

Their take: Generally underwhelming: only the food credit delivered, and they would choose Amex over the Edit and not count on perks that depend on availability.

Details
Breakfast
Not offered, which they knew going in
$100 credit
The $100 food voucher worked fine
Check-in
No early check-in
Upgrade
None; the hotel said it was fully booked, though it felt empty
Late checkout
2pm; 4pm was offered only for a fee, and mentioning the Edit booking did not change that

A CES week stay starting January 8th

u/RosenThrone on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026

  • $100 credit
  • Early check-in
  • $250 credit posted

Their take: A smooth stay: the Priority Line check-in was pleasant, a Two Queen room was ready before noon, and the credit covered a casual dinner at The Noodle Shop.

Details
Booked
Priced below Park MGM and MGM Grand for that date, during CES week; paid on their partner's card in their own name, and the partner received the $250 credit
Check-in
Through the Priority Line, a nice room with chips and Pepsi; the agent spotted the Chase booking straight away and asked to see the Sapphire Reserve
Room
A Staywell Two Queen room, already available before noon, on a high-medium floor with a view of the airport; it had an air filter and a minibar but no fridge
Welcome
A welcome letter, a bag of Smartfood popcorn, a can of Starry and a 250mL MGM Resorts water
$100 credit
Used for dinner at The Noodle Shop, one of the eligible venues
Watch out
The agent said the back office reviews the folio after the stay, and the benefits could be billed if the card shown turns out not to qualify

Rude staff and no status recognition

u/AverageOk8514 on r/sapphirereserve, January 2026

  • No upgrade

Their take: A bad experience: rude staff, no upgrade and no status recognition, and they felt the hotel looked down on Edit bookings.

Details
Check-in
Their Marriott Titanium priority check-in wasn't honored because the hotel couldn't see the Bonvoy number added to the Chase booking
Upgrade
None
Late checkout
None; you have to call at 6pm the night before to ask
Watch out
They felt staff were reluctant to serve Edit bookings

u/bluePie8080 on r/ChaseSapphire, December 2025

  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade
  • Early check-in

Their take: They got a slightly early check-in and the dining credit but nothing more, and the hotel would not attach their Marriott number to the Chase booking.

Their take: Linking their Marriott account took a call to Chase, but it worked in the end.

Details

2 nights, Dec 26th-28th
Points
The Bonvoy app couldn't find the reservation from the Chase confirmation; a call to Chase, who contacted Marriott, got it added

Recent stay for about 15k points after the credit

u/KatherineCollects on r/ChaseSapphire, December 2025

  • $100 credit

Their take: A cheap stay with a credit that was simple to use, but they were disappointed to learn breakfast is not included on Edit bookings here.

Details
Paid
About 15k points in total once the $250 credit was applied
Breakfast
Not part of the Edit package here (the same is true at MGM Grand); they only found out a few days before the trip

u/ChicagoRK on r/ChaseSapphire, December 2025

Their take: A good experience overall: no surprise fees, and an extra dining credit made up for the missing upgrade.

No upgrade or breakfast, but a credit good across MGM

u/leowhatthe on r/sapphirereserve, November 2025

  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade
  • Resort fee prepaid

Their take: A middling stay: no upgrade or breakfast, and late checkout means calling the front desk after 6PM, though the resort fee was covered and the $100 credit works across MGM. They found Amex FHR much better.

Details

Three nights for a family sports weekend

u/shangta on r/ChaseSapphire, September 2025

  • $100 credit
  • Better floor or view
  • Early check-in
  • Late checkout
  • Resort fee at the hotel

Their take: A big win for a family trip: points boost kept the nightly cost low, and the noon check-in, Strip view and 4PM checkout gave the kids extra pool time, even with the resort fee and parking paid on top.

Details
Paid
About $170 a night in points for three nights, using 2x points boost
Check-in
Early check-in at noon
Upgrade
Moved to a Strip-side view room

A cheap event weekend and a fight over the credit

u/catsandgreatfood on r/ChaseSapphire, September 2025

  • $100 credit, in part
  • No upgrade
  • Early check-in
  • $250 credit posted

Their take: A remarkably cheap weekend, but the hotel seemed unaware of the Edit perks, the early room was a step down and the $100 credit only appeared after an argument at checkout; their advice is to check your bill.

Details
Paid
The portal price matched booking direct once fees were counted; with the $250 Edit credit and points at a 2x boost they paid less than three dollars in cash for an event weekend
Check-in
Arrived at 9am and were let in early, but in a lower room category; nobody mentioned the Edit or its benefits
$100 credit
Guest services said it covered room service (though not gratuity), yet it was missing from the bill at checkout; staff then said room service didn't qualify and pointed to a QR code that was not in the room, and only after much arguing applied it as a courtesy
At checkout
The front desk line was long enough that they called guest services from a lobby phone instead

Booking tips from cardholders

  • They booked a two-queen resort room facing the Strip for November 11-13, pairing it with a three-night IHG booking so that the Edit credit, the IHG credit and Points Boost brought both stays to a combined 9,261 points. The credits did apply, and they found that cancelling and rebooking after a price drop needed no waiting period.

    u/Ok_Dependent9148 on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked two nights for November 11-13 at about $227 in total, expecting the Edit credit to cover it so they pay nothing out of pocket, with the $100 dining credit on top.

    u/Maravilloso227 on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Parking at this hotel is paid, but once paid, the room key let the guest park free at other MGM properties. The property credit also worked at restaurants in other MGM hotels when charged back to the room; they enjoyed the Bellagio patisserie.

  • They booked a stay for their husband, who checked in without them in October 2025. He had no trouble, was never asked to show the Sapphire Reserve, and received all of the Edit benefits, though they wonder whether they were simply lucky.

    u/impresaria on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked two nights for a busy September boxing weekend while the hotel had 2x Points Boost. 35k points covered $700 of the cost, and once the Edit credit came back they were left paying just $2 in cash.

    u/catsandgreatfood on r/ChaseSapphire, July 2025 · Read the thread ↗

  • Pricing a 6-night stay, they found the Edit charged $1157, while MGM's own website listed the same room and dates at $907. The $250 difference matched the Edit credit exactly, which left them feeling the credit was wiped out.

Questions about Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino on The Edit

Is Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino part of The Edit by Chase?

Yes. Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino is on The Edit by Chase Travel list as of our November 13, 2026 check. A prepaid Chase Travel booking here gets the Edit benefits: daily breakfast for two, a $100 property credit, an upgrade when available, and early check-in and late checkout when available.

How much does Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino cost on Chase Travel?

Its typical nightly Chase Travel rate is $310, fees included: the median of the rates for two-night stays across the coming year. By month, the median runs from $222 in December to $380 in October. These are planning figures, not live quotes; check the rate on Chase Travel for your dates.

Does Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino qualify for the Chase double credit?

No. It is not in the 2026 select-hotel credit program, so a stay here can use the $250 Edit credit but not the second $250. The double credit hotels page lists the ones that are.

When is the cheapest time to book Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino?

December has the lowest median Chase Travel rate here, $222 a night, followed by November and January. October is the priciest at $380. The single lowest nightly rate on our last check was $150, for a two-night stay from December 14, 2026.
