Short answer: IHG points work in Las Vegas on weeknights, not so much on weekends. In our live check on Sunday November 1, 2026, a Tuesday or Wednesday night cost a median 28,000 points and was worth $56.65 per 10,000 points, which IHG Points Finder counts as a good use of points. Friday and Saturday nights cost a median 40,000 points, were worth $52.27, and 22% of them were better paid in cash.
The best pick was Holiday Inn Club Vacations At Desert Club Resort, at a median $66.68 per 10,000 points. The best regular hotel was Holiday Inn Express & Suites Las Vegas SW - Spring Valley at $59.18, and Holiday Inn Express Las Vegas-Nellis had the cheapest nights, from 19,000 points.
One thing to know first: every IHG hotel our search returned for Las Vegas was off the Strip. The closest was about 6 km from the search centre, and several were in Henderson and Boulder City.
How we ranked
We searched Las Vegas on IHG Points Finder for six single nights: Friday November 20, Wednesday December 2, Saturday December 5 and Wednesday December 9 2026, plus Saturday January 16 and Tuesday January 26 2027. That gave 48 nights at 11 hotels with both a points price and a cash price. Not every hotel had a reward night on every date, and only four did on November 20 and December 5. For each hotel we took the median value per 10,000 points across its nights (cash divided by points, times 10,000). IHG Points Finder calls a night a good use of points from $55.90, a strong one from $67, and says pay cash below $44.70.
Across Las Vegas, 46% of nights were a good use of points, 46% were either way and 8% were pay cash. A typical night cost 31,000 points or $175.57.
