In a groundbreaking move that has shaken up the casino industry, MGM Resorts International and Marriott International have announced a landmark partnership to bring the iconic W Hotels brand to the Las Vegas Strip. The deal, valued at over $600 million, will see the creation of the W Las Vegas, a luxury hotel and casino complex that will cater to a new generation of sophisticated travelers and high rollers.
The collaboration between MGM and Marriott marks the first time that two major hospitality giants have joined forces to create a mixed-use development on the Las Vegas Strip. This bold move underscores the growing popularity of lifestyle and boutique hotels in the city, as well as the increasing demand for upscale accommodation options that offer more than just gaming and entertainment.
The W Las Vegas will offer guests a unique blend of avant-garde design, contemporary luxury, and personalized service. The hotel will feature over 300 stylish guest rooms and suites, as well as a range of high-end amenities, including a world-class spa, fine dining restaurants, chic bars, and trendy lounges. In addition, the property will boast a state-of-the-art casino floor with an array of table games, slot machines, and exclusive VIP gaming areas.
According to Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International, the partnership with Marriott reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the hospitality industry. “We are thrilled to be working with Marriott to bring the W Hotels brand to the Las Vegas Strip,” he said. “The W Las Vegas will redefine luxury accommodation in the city, offering guests a truly unforgettable experience that combines the best of both worlds – the excitement of a world-class casino resort and the sophistication of a boutique hotel.”
Arne Sorenson, President and CEO of Marriott International, echoed Murren’s sentiments, stating that the W Las Vegas will set a new standard for luxury and sophistication in the city. “We are excited to partner with MGM on this groundbreaking project, which will showcase the best of what both of our companies have to offer,” he said. “The W Las Vegas will be a game-changer for the Las Vegas hospitality market, appealing to travelers who seek a distinctive and memorable experience.”
Construction on the W Las Vegas is set to begin later this year, with the hotel expected to open its doors to the public in 2023. The property will be located on the iconic Las Vegas Strip, in close proximity to MGM’s other flagship resorts, including the Bellagio, MGM Grand, and Aria. With its cutting-edge design, top-tier amenities, and prime location, the W Las Vegas is poised to become a must-visit destination for luxury travelers and high-end clientele from around the world.
