At long last, we know who the new “2 free nights” partner will be for Ocean in Atlantic City where those on the Atlantic City Merry Go Round offshoot of the Status Match Merry Go Round™ have anxiously been waiting to hear.
It turns out what was old is new again….
Before the two free nights benefit switched to Resorts World in 2022, it was Wynn.
And now, once again, it’s Wynn!
But the benefits seem a bit better this time. If I recall correctly the two free nights last time came with a $50 resort credit. You could opt out of paying the resort fee but then you didn’t have wifi unless you paid for that.
This time, the Wynn benefits appear to work like a traditional Wynn full comp where the resort fee is waived but without excluding the benefits like wifi.
I say “appears” because the Ocean benefits page and the brochure contradict each other. The brochure says the same as it did in 2021 – 2 nights and $50 credit.
But on the webpage, it says: NEW: Two complimentary nights (includes room, tax and resort fees), $100 Free Play & $50 Dining Credit
I’m hopeful that the actual benefit is the latter as that would be much better 😉

Previously how heavy were the blackout dates in getting a room at the Wynn in LAS?
No blackout dates. Just if they are close to sold out or sold out. Overall it’s not hard to book at all.
Based on the previous engagement with Wynn, when do we think this will be bookable and what is the process? I matched in mid-May to Ocean and have a trip to Vegas coming up in mid-July, hopefully this will be live by then.
Do we know if the two free nights count as one stay towards the Wynn free cruise if you’re platinum?
I don’t think anyone knows this for sure since it’s too new but I can say that the reservation I made is also linked to my Wynn account number.
how do we book this? I called this number 866-770-7930 and was told they are going to put me in the list, and will give me a call back.
Currently it says to book before june 30 2025. Do we know when the calendar gets extended? What if I match june 29 then surely it has to before the next 12 months no?
They will probably tell us in March 2025 if matches from March get the year extension or if you have to wait until July 1, 2025 to get a full year. The past two years they did the extension but prior to that it would have been July 1 and yes, a June 30 match would have lasted one day 😉
Is this benefit per calender year like the MSC cruise? Or one and done?
Once per member year, not calendar.
