Best Marriott hotel for point redemption in Vegas? Not looking to break the bank, but okay with ~35k per night (Chateau, JW, Westin, Renaissance, etc.)

How are you breaking the bank when it’s points? Cosmo or bust.

funny

Chateau. Pretty much middle of the strip and the upgraded villas are nice. Obviously the Cosmo is the place to stay if you have the points

like

Cosmo is surprisingly cheap💰 just using any of our company codes. Probably about $180 after the crazy amount of Vegas fees, depending on when you go you will likely get upgraded if you’re Platinum or just really nice to reception. Going there for a night in a quasi road trip and determined it wasn’t worth tapping into points for, saving them for expensive luxury (NY, LA, Int’l) or if I want to travel on a rainy day/unbudgeted trip on the cheap.

Get comped ...

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!
