Elevating Luxury: W Las Vegas Makes Its Debut at Mandalay Bay

December 18, 2024

The Las Vegas Strip, renowned for its vibrant energy and luxurious accommodations, has recently welcomed a new gem into its collection of world-class hotels. MGM Resorts International and Marriott International have officially introduced W Las Vegas, transitioning the iconic 1,117-suite tower on the Mandalay Bay campus into the globally recognized W Hotels brand.

A New Chapter in Luxury Hospitality

The debut of W Las Vegas marks a significant milestone in the strategic partnership between MGM Resorts and Marriott International. This collaboration, first announced in 2023, aims to unite two hospitality leaders, offering guests unparalleled access to a diverse portfolio of resorts and elevated experiences.

Travis Lunn, President & COO of Mandalay Bay and Luxor, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture: “W Las Vegas represents an exciting new chapter for MGM Resorts and for our guests seeking a new, sophisticated all-suite luxury experience on The Strip. W Hotels is a brand that is celebrated globally for their unique style and exceptional service, and we can’t wait to see the hotel come to life over the next couple of years, through its distinct personality, dynamic programming, and elevated service culture.”

Exclusive Benefits for Loyalty Members

With the integration of W Las Vegas into the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, members of both loyalty programs stand to gain significantly. Marriott Bonvoy members can now book stays and earn or redeem points at this vibrant destination, while MGM Rewards members enjoy reciprocal benefits across Marriott’s extensive global portfolio. This synergy provides over 200 million Marriott Bonvoy members with exclusive access to MGM Resorts destinations across the U.S., enhancing the value and reach of both loyalty programs.

A Glimpse into W Las Vegas

While specific details about the enhancements planned for W Las Vegas are yet to be unveiled, guests can anticipate the brand’s signature blend of luxury, style, and dynamic programming. The W brand is renowned for its contemporary design, vibrant social scenes, and exceptional service, all of which are expected to be seamlessly integrated into the Las Vegas experience.

The property will undergo a series of transformations to embody the W Hotels’ distinctive personality. This includes refreshing the rooms, revamping the Delano Beach Club—set to be rebranded as the W Wet Deck—and updating the Skyfall rooftop lounge, which will retain its name. These enhancements aim to offer guests a rejuvenated and immersive environment that reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation and luxury.

Strategic Expansion on the Las Vegas Strip

The addition of W Las Vegas expands the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy to encompass 12 destinations on the Las Vegas Strip. This includes notable properties such as Bellagio, a Luxury Collection Resort & Casino; ARIA Resort & Casino, Autograph Collection; and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection. This strategic expansion not only broadens the range of options available to guests but also reinforces the presence of both hospitality giants in one of the world’s most competitive markets.

Looking Ahead

As the hospitality landscape continues to evolve, the collaboration between MGM Resorts and Marriott International sets a precedent for strategic partnerships aimed at enhancing guest experiences. The debut of W Las Vegas is a testament to their shared vision of innovation, luxury, and exceptional service.

Guests and loyalty members eager to experience the new W Las Vegas can make reservations through both MGM Resorts and Marriott International’s official channels. As the property undergoes its transformation, it promises to deliver a fresh and invigorating take on luxury hospitality on the Las Vegas Strip.
