MGM Resorts International and Marriott International Inc. have revealed plans to convert a property within the Mandalay Bay Campus on the Las Vegas Strip to the W Hotels brand. Anticipated to complete its conversion later this year, W Las Vegas marks the latest step in the companies’ long-term strategic licensing agreement announced in July 2023.
“Our relationship with Marriott has far exceeded our expectations, demonstrating the power of its brand portfolio and the strength of its distribution channels,” said Steve Zanella, president/MGM Resorts Operations. “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.”
“We’re thrilled to continue working with MGM to bring W Las Vegas to the legendary Las Vegas Strip,” said Leeny Oberg, Marriott International CFO/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.”
Since MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy officially launched in March, bookings are significantly outpacing anticipated projections with hundreds of thousands of room nights booked, according to the companies.
The property is slated to officially join the W Hotels portfolio later this year, with additional plans for the hotel to be announced in the future.
