How Can I Status Match at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino?

You can use your M Life Rewards Gold tier to match to Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Unity Icon status.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Rock Royalty Status Match

In 2024, Hard Rock replaced its loyalty programs by offering a unified reward program called “Unity by Hard Rock”, across all Hard Rock hotels, casinos, and all of its locations.

Unfortunately in Las Vegas, Hard Rock rebranded as Virgin Hotels Las Vegas back in 2018, but there is good news. Hard Rock will be opening a new Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2027 on the former site of the Mirage.

For the sake of this post, we are going to take our MGM Gold Rewards card on over to Atlantic City (or if there is a Hard Rock Casino near you feel free to visit that one), and match to Hard Rock Unity Icon Level (second to highest level).

Upgrading to Hard Rock Unity Icon Level

You can use your Wynn Platinum level to status match at Hard Rock but that will only get you Unity Legend status. This is why we used our MGM Rewards Gold level to status match at Hard Rock which gets us Unity Icon status.
