Carnival Cruise Line and Bally’s Corporation will allow Bally’s Rewards members to claim exclusive cruise benefits when they board Carnival ships that will only be available to them.

Bally’s Rewards on Casino Cruises

The partnership launched on Thursday, and it covers three tiers of the Bally’s Rewards program specifically Legend, SuperStar, and Star, as it seeks to create a unique onboard experience that ties back into the casino partner, and thus builds strong synergies and opportunities for both businesses.

The new perks will include complimentary cruises, various discounts, and special events that will be hosted exclusively for Bally’s Rewards members for the time being, although how big these events would be remains to be seen.

Commenting on this opportunity, Carnival Corporation’s SVP of global casino operations, Marty Goldman, said that the company was fully committed to its proprietary Carnival Players Club, which together with Bally’s partnership, would reach new heights.

“We have plenty of fun to go around across our fleet, so we’re excited to bring Bally’s on board with us and look forward to growing this unique partnership,” Goldman added.

The partnership was naturally hailed by Bally’s SVP of gaming Mike Donovan who said that the collaboration essentially ties together two industry leaders, allowing them to offer customers Bally’s gaming experience and the unmatched hospitality and entertainment treatment they will find at Carnival Cruise Line.

This collaboration brings together two industry leaders, combining the excitement of Bally’s gaming experience with the unparalleled entertainment and hospitality of Carnival Cruise Line. Together, we will create unforgettable experiences for our guests, both on land and at sea.

In the meantime, players looking to accumulate points and inch up the loyalty pecking order may do so across 17 nationwide casino resorts that will help you stack up your points at any of the properties so long as you are a member.

Casino Gaming on the High Seas

More cruise companies are also toying with the idea of adding gaming floors as part of their offers, with cruise casinos making a return and attracting casual travelers as well as dedicated gamblers who have stepped onboard to spend their time on the high seas specifically playing games of chance.

Princess Cruises announced in December that the company is rolling out its largest casino to date onboard one of its vessels. More news about casino floors setting up shop on cruise ships is forthcoming.

MGM Resorts International has teased more details about the experience Bellagio Fountain Club will offer during the F1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix. The club is set to take “center stage” during the highly anticipated race and will host a Winner’s Stage event.

Set to take place from November 16 to 18, the Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix is one of the most exciting events in this year’s motorsports calendar. As announced by MGM, the Bellagio Fountain Club will host a variety of events prior to, during and after the race.

Bellagio Fountain Club Will Bring Fans Closer to the Action

At the club, fans will be able to watch the race live. MGM will leverage “an unprecedented Dolby Vision viewing experience powered by LG OLED evo TVs” to “bring fans even closer to the track.” MGM said that action will come to life on screen with bright and vivid colors, cutting-edge detail and dazzling contrast. A total of eight screens will ensure that no guest misses a beat.

The Bellagio Fountain Club will also offer proximity to the track itself from an elevated location on the property’s signature lake. The club’s rooftop hospitality deck will allow guests to see the cars on the Las Vegas Boulevard live.

The club will also welcome entertainers from MGM Resorts’ entertainment portfolio and will also welcome some of the race’s best drivers for post-race commentary on Saturday night. This will notably include the top three drivers in the race who will share their reflections on the event with the community.

Leading Chefs and Will Cook Up Amazing Experiences

In addition, the venue will welcome renowned chefs such as the chef and humanitarian José Andrés, the famous award-winning chef Christina Tosi, the Michelin-decorated Alain Ducasse and Rainer Becker, founder of the famous izakaya-style Japanese restaurant ZUMA in London.

The aforementioned chefs will join a chef roster that also includes Mario Carbone, David Chang, Michael Mina, Masaharu Morimoto, Bryan & Michael Voltaggio and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

This impressive chef lineup will provide motorsports fans unparaleled dining options. According to MGM, chefs will rotate throughout the three days of the F1 race, introducing new menus each day. In the meantime, a team of decorated mixologists and sommeliers will curate an open bar.

MGM Is Proud to Host the Winner’s Stage

Andrew Lanzino, MGM Resorts’ vice president of citywide events strategy, commented on the experiences awaiting motorsports fans at the club.
