Marriott International and MGM Resorts are set to introduce the W Hotels brand to the Mandalay Bay complex on the Las Vegas Strip. The new W Las Vegas will replace the current Delano hotel tower, marking a significant change for Accor's Ennismore lifestyle hotel collective, which includes the Delano brand. The conversion is expected to be completed later this year.
"We're thrilled to continue working with MGM to bring W Las Vegas to the legendary Las Vegas Strip," stated Leeny Oberg, Marriott International's chief financial officer and executive vice president of 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."
The transition follows more than a year after Marriott and MGM Resorts announced their strategic partnership, which officially commenced earlier this year. Steve Zanella, president of MGM Resorts operations, commented, "Our relationship with Marriott has far exceeded our expectations, demonstrating the power of its brand portfolio and the strength of their distribution channels. 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."
