Marriott International, Incorporated and MGM Resorts International have officially announced that Delano Las Vegas is to rebrand as W Las Vegas later this year, with additional plans for the hotel property to be announced in the future.
Delano Hotel to Rebrand as W Las Vegas
Marriott replaced Hyatt with MGM Resorts reciprocal partnership — which was originally supposed to be effective as of October of 2023 but was delayed until March of 2024 — means that 17 resort properties representing greater than than 40,000 rooms in Las Vegas and other cities across the United States became what is now known as the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy in an exclusive long-term strategic licensing agreement. Additional details pertaining to this partnership were revealed earlier this year.
“Since MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy officially launched in March 2024, bookings are significantly outpacing anticipated projections with hundreds of thousands of room nights booked”, according to this recent official press release from Marriott International, Incorporated. “This collaboration between two trusted hospitality brands 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 twelve destinations on the Las Vegas Strip — including but not limited to:
- Bellagio, a Luxury Collection Resort & Casino, Las Vegas
- ARIA Resort & Casino, Autograph Collection
- The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection
- Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, MGM Collection
No definitive date was given as to when the hotel property will officially join the W Hotels portfolio.
Final Boarding Call
You can read about my first — and, apparently, only — stay at Delano Las Vegas.
Without knowing the aforementioned additional details, I cannot comment on the rebranding of the hotel property — other than I wish I could have earned Marriott Bonvoy points for my stay…
