Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey has long offered a status match up to Ocean Prime status for those with competitive casino status. We covered this match in some detail in our article on how to game your casino status match to earn a free cruise. One of the other perks of Ocean Prime status was a two-night free stay at Resorts World Las Vegas (we reviewed the free night at the Conrad Las Vegas here). As of today (July 1, 2024), the partnership with Resorts World has ended, but some will be happy to see that Ocean has re-established a partnership with Wynn Las Vegas. This means that Ocean Prime members can now get two free nights at Wynn Las Vegas, which is a very valuable perk.

A quick thought
Wynn Las Vegas is one of the more upscale casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, so two free nights is a pretty valuable perk, especially if you can stay over the weekend, when hotel rates in Las Vegas are usually much more expensive.
Ocean Prime will still include a complimentary MSC cruise, free valet parking at Ocean Casino Resort and other perks.
I recently stayed at the Encore Las Vegas and loved my room on the Encore side of the resort – not sure if you have a choice, but I liked how the standard rooms at Encore felt like a “suite” (although I didn’t stay on the Wynn side so can’t compare the two).
My wife also loved the spa on the Encore side of the resort. Either way, I would definitely stay at the Wynn/Encore complex again, especially if it was free.
It’s important to note that Ocean allows matches for new players or players who have been inactive for over 18 months (meaning they haven’t played on the card in that time period). Since we matched in March and April 2023, we’ll have to wait a few more months to get a chance to match again.
Speaking of matching opportunities, here’s the most common matching flow for readers of this site:
- Wyndham Earner Business Cards automatically earn Wyndham Diamonds
- Matching Wyndham Diamond to Caesars Diamond
- Match Caesars Diamond and Hard Rock Icon at Hard Rock Ocean City
- Matching Hard Rock Icons with Ocean Prime
Ocean will match Caesars Diamond Plus and Diamond Elite to Prime, but these status levels require a fair bit of play to earn. You can also match MGM Platinum or Noir to Ocean Prime, but again, this is not an easy status to earn.
If you have MGM Gold, I suppose you could match it up with the Hard Rock Icon, but I don’t have those data points.
Overall, this is great news for anyone planning on matching in Atlantic City, and if you matched with Ocean Prime between March 1, 2024 and now, your Prime status was automatically extended today through June 30, 2025, giving you access to this perk.
