Marriott International and MGM Resorts International have signed an agreement to launch the W on the famed Las Vegas strip.

Strategic agreement continues

The move is the latest step in a long-term strategic licensing agreement between MGM and Marriott, originally announced in July 2023. 

A property on the Las Vegas Strip will be converted into a W Hotel and is anticipated to be completed later this year. 

Located on the Mandalay Bay Campus, the hotel is slated to officially join the W Hotels portfolio later this year, with additional plans for the property to be announced in the future.

MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy officially launched in March 2024, and the popularity of the venture has “far exceeded” expectations, noted MGM’s Steve Zanella. 

“W Las Vegas, the latest hotel to come to life as part of our collaboration, will allow our guests to access a new luxury lifestyle experience recognized worldwide for its distinct personality, dynamic programming and elevated service culture,” he added. 

“We’re thrilled to continue working with MGM to bring W Las Vegas to the legendary Las Vegas Strip,” said Leeny Oberg, Marriott International Chief Financial Officer and EVP, Development. 

“This agreement is a pivotal moment in our collaboration, which continues to expand hospitality and entertainment offerings for guests. As a luxury brand rooted in bold design and nightlife, W Hotels is well-positioned to elevate experiences for travelers in this destination.”

Multiple destination offering

The collaboration between MGM and Marriott means more than 200 million Marriott Bonvoy members can enjoy unique benefits and redeem points at MGM Resorts’ destinations, while MGM Rewards members can status match and receive member benefits at Marriott’s global portfolio of approximately 9,000 properties.

With the addition of W Las Vegas, MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy will encompass 12 destinations on the Las Vegas Strip, including Bellagio, a Luxury Collection Resort & Casino, ARIA Resort & Casino, Autograph Collection, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection, and Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, MGM Collection, among others.
