Amex Offer: Wynn Las Vegas and Encore
There’s an Amex Offer available on many cards for a $60 statement credit after spending $300 on eligible Wynn/Encore purchases. Another awesome thing about this offer is that it includes spa and restaurant spend at Wynn or Encore. Often the terms limit the offer to room rate.

- Reservations must be made directly through Wynn Las Vegas at wynnlasvegas.com or via the mobile app.

Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts: 4th Night Free
But wait, there’s more! One of the many benefits of the American Express Platinum Card is the FHR program. (Full Platinum Benefits Guide.)

Another cool thing about Wynn/ Encore is that the breakfast credit is actually $40/per person per day. As a reminder, stays booked through FHRÂ receive the following benefits:
- Room upgrade upon arrival, when available
- Daily breakfast for two people
- Guaranteed 4pm late check-out
- Noon check-in, when available
- Complimentary In-Room Wi-Fi
- Unique amenity valued at US$100, such as a spa or food and beverage credit

The discount is calculated as an average of the 4 nights. I’ll be in Vegas in June and look at this amazing deal. 4 nights at the Wynn after taxes and fees (which are approx $40/day) for net effective rate as low as $100.

Stacking Promotions = Really Cheap Rate
While it says the reservation needs to be made directly with the hotel, I think there’s a very good chance of the Amex offer stacking with the Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts benefit since it is generally treated as a direct booking and you pay the hotel directly. (FHR bookings have triggered several other hotel related Amex offers for me in the past.)
Everybody considering this offer should figure out the value to themselves for the FHR benefits with a monetary value. For example, if you don’t eat much while you’re in Vegas or don’t think you’ll visit the Spa, you should reduce the following values accordingly. For me personally, I am generally able to make full use, so I have them valued at full price.
$640Â Â Â Â Cost to Book 4 Nights + Resort Fees and Applicable Taxes
– $60Â Â Â Amex Offer (or $120 if you have the offer on 2 cards and split payment)
– $100Â Â Spa Credit
– $320Â Â Â Breakfast Credit
$160 (or $100)
As you can see, the net effective price for 4 nights at Wynn is $40 a night! For me, it would actually be $25/night since I have the offer on several cards. Even if you don’t pay for hotels in Vegas, this is probably a better offer since the resort fee at most hotels is more than the effective rate. Throw in the free parking at Wynn and I don’t see how you could do any better.

I’m going for labor day weekend and booked through amex. Does the mini bar count as breakfast?
Yes! For most hotels I’ve found it does. I’m ashamed to say that’s generally what my credit goes towards, I have a minibar problem
The plan is to wife reserve through Chase Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection for one night and I, using AMEX FHR, for the next night and apply the AMEX offer. Double savings (hopefully).
Where was this article a couple weeks ago when I needed a Vegas stay?
haha, I’ll have to read a little more closely for future Vegas trips. Thanks for the idea on how to potentially use those AOs 🙂
This math is interesting.
I think you really should value the breakfast at $200 a day. This way, you actually make money!!
I wish…. I use my daily breakfast credit on Fiji from the mini bar.. 3 Fiji’s come out to $72 so that’s that
guess i will see u there. will look for you.
🙂 I’ll be hoppin around
We just booked the Delano at Mandalay Bay for a night in August, for @$125. Using the Amex Platinum Card gives us $100 for Food/Beverage (AKA dinner), free breakfast, an upgrade (if available) & they have free self parking…net nothing!
Excellent!!!!
The mythology that Amex FHR is some sort of amazing thing continues to pervade the blogosphere.
Lol I guess you don’t see it? Are use it every time I go to Vegas even though I get comped 7 nights a week. (I’m an MLifer)
You are basically paying $580 for the stay, after you subtract the $60 AMEX offer which gets refunded to the card. It’s really how you value the spa and breakfast credit. If you are someone that pays that kind of $$ for breakfast everyday, then it’s a good value. However, most bloggers use their status to get lounge access and free breakfast, so I don’t think it’s really a great benefit, or it’s not really worth the $80 day that it’s made out to be, since the prices are already inflated due to the fact that it’s the Wynn.
Also, typically the tip is not covered by the credit, it may be at Wynn, but I know it’s not at Delano. Some more expenses that will add up…
The spa credit will not cover a normal massage, as a basic 50 minute massage will run you $180. By the time taxes and tip are added, you are over $100 out of pocket. Now you can probably use the credit for day passes to reduce your out of pocket costs.
I believe the better values are the hotels which offer $100 food and beverage credit, as opposed to the $100 spa credit.
I don’t get the breakfast credit. Do they give you $40 per day (or in your case $80 for 2 people) and you can choose to buy breakfast or not (i.e., you will get $320 credited back no matter what) or are you simply valuing the benefit at $40/80, but you do have to pay for breakfast to get the credit? Same for spa credit? Your statement about reducing the value of the benefit makes me think you’re really paying $580 (or less if you split cards) for 4 nights, but getting free breakfast and spa service.
I only have $60 of $300 at MGM resorts
