Global entertainment company, MGM Resorts, has announced its long-term licence agreement with Marriott International to create MGM collection with Marriott Bonvoy.
This resort will represent over 40,000 of MGM’s rooms in Vegas while also incorporating 17 of MGM’s properties.
MGM Resorts has recently planned to establish a casino in Thailand and is now expanding within the domestic market by partnering with Marriott International.
Marriott International is a company that has over 8,500 properties, works with 183 countries/territories and has 31 brands; it is based in Bethesda, Maryland USA.
People visit Las Vegas for many of its large industries such as food, wine, gaming and music; because of this MGM and Marriott Bonvoy will provide different benefits for its customers in Vegas.
Reward points earned at MGM properties are also able to be exchanged for Marriott Bonvoy points and vice versa.
From October 2023, the new creation will launch and rooms at many of these resorts can be booked online.
Bill Hornbuckle, President and CEO of MGM Resorts, commented: “This historic, long-term agreement brings together two of the most trusted and iconic brands in hospitality and entertainment.
“We’ve seen first-hand the strong demand from Marriott International customers through our existing relationship at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and this new agreement will enable us to further optimise our overall profitability.”
Four out of 17 MGM Resorts properties joining MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy will also be affiliated with existing Marriott collection brands.
These include Bellagio Resort & Casino will join The Luxury Collection, ARIA Resort & Casino will join Autograph Collection, Park MGM will become part of Tribute Portfolio and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will continue its affiliation with Autograph Collection.
