MGM Rewards launches new scavenger hunt campaign featuring QR codes hidden in 9 Strip venues, 100 major prizes

MGM Resorts announced Friday the launch of "The Wild Wild Quest," a citywide scavenger hunt for "hidden" QR codes that unlocks access to grand prizes. Launched through the company's loyalty program, MGM Rewards, the promo includes the opportunity of flying in a private jet to Vegas with global star and eight-time GRAMMY Award-winner Usher, who launches his new residency at Park MGM on July 15.  

In a recent press release, the company stated that between June 29 – July 11, nine MGM Resorts properties across The Strip will unveil QR codes "hidden in plain sight" on everything from everyday objects to some of the city's most iconic attractions. Each unique QR code that is located can be scanned to open an online entry page where entrants receive a single entry (six entries max per person) for the opportunity to win one of 100 high-end prizes.

Guests can join "The Wild Wild Quest" by searching for QR codes at Bellagio, ARIA, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, The Mirage, New York-New York, Luxor, and Excalibur. All resorts will provide clues leading to the secret locations of each QR code.

The Grand Prize include:
