Marriott International and MGM Resorts International have announced plans to convert an existing property on the Las Vegas Strip to the W Hotels brand. 

Located on the Mandalay Bay Campus and anticipated to complete its conversion in late 2024, W Las Vegas marks the latest step in the companies’ long-term strategic licensing agreement announced in July 2023. 

“Our relationship with Marriott has far exceeded our expectations, demonstrating the power of its brand portfolio and the strength of their distribution channels,” says Steve Zanella, President of MGM Resorts Operations. “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 recognised worldwide for its distinct personality, dynamic programming and elevated service culture.” 

Leeny Oberg, Chief Financial Officer and EVP, Development at Marriott International, adds: “We’re thrilled to continue working with MGM to bring W Las Vegas to the legendary Las Vegas Strip. 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.”
