Marriott Is Bringing a W Hotel to Las Vegas

MGM Resorts International and Marriott are bringing a new W Hotels branded resort to the Las Vegas Strip.

MGM also said that W Hotels, like all properties under that banner, will offer a “luxury experience” 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,” Leeny Oberg, Marriott International Chief Financial Officer and EVP, of Development said.

The W will give MGM Collection with Marriott 12 different resorts on the Vegas Strip, including some of its more iconic names like Bellagio, ARIA, The Cosmopolitan, Mandalay Bay, and New York, New York.
