MGM Collection: Elevating Experiences in Las Vegas and Beyond

After months of anticipation, the partnership between Marriott and MGM Resorts International is finally live, ushering in a new era of luxury and convenience for travelers. Initially slated for a debut last October, the collaboration faced delays due to a cybersecurity attack at MGM. However, with the unveiling of the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, guests can now indulge in unparalleled experiences at MGM Resorts properties across the United States.

In January, MGM Resorts offered a glimpse into the partnership, and by February, select hotels were available for booking. Now, the full spectrum of benefits is accessible, allowing visitors to book rooms seamlessly through the Marriott Bonvoy system online or via the mobile app. Beyond traditional accommodations, guests can also immerse themselves in “once-in-a-lifetime” experiences through Marriott Bonvoy Moments.

 

Key Points:

1. Unprecedented Partnership: The collaboration between Marriott and MGM Resorts International marks a significant milestone in the hospitality industry, bringing together two giants to offer guests unparalleled experiences in Las Vegas and beyond. This partnership not only enhances revenue streams for both companies but also elevates the guest experience to new heights.
2. Exclusive Benefits for Members: Through the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, upper-tier members of both loyalty programs can unlock a host of privileges, including tier matching for select MGM Rewards members and the ability to book rooms using Marriott Bonvoy points at MGM Resorts properties. This symbiotic relationship between the two loyalty programs ensures that members can enjoy the best of both worlds.
3. Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences: Marriott Bonvoy Moments introduces guests to a world of unique opportunities, from VIP golf weekends at premier courses like Shadow Creek to immersive Cirque du Soleil experiences and even the chance to choreograph the iconic Bellagio Fountain Show. These exclusive packages epitomize luxury and offer guests unforgettable memories that extend beyond traditional hotel stays.

 

Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International, emphasized the allure of these unique experiences, stating, “Travelers are seeking larger-than-life moments that speak to their passions and the destinations they love, and this guides our approach to orchestrating the guest and Marriott Bonvoy member experience at MGM Collection properties.”

This partnership is mutually beneficial for both companies, promising to enhance revenue streams while offering guests the flexibility to pay with points or indulge in exclusive experiences.

 

“Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International, remarks, ‘This collaboration epitomizes our commitment to curating larger-than-life moments for travelers.'”

 

How the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy Works

Unlike previous partnerships between MGM Resorts and its hotel counterparts, the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy introduces a tier matching system exclusively for upper-tier MGM Rewards members. This allows them to ascend to high-status Marriott Bonvoy patronage. However, the arrangement is not reciprocal, meaning Marriott Bonvoy members cannot match their status with MGM Rewards.

For casino visitors seeking to broaden their horizons beyond gaming floors, this partnership offers a gateway to a plethora of benefits. Upper-tier Marriott Bonvoy members can leverage their status for a host of privileges at hotels worldwide. Moreover, Marriott Bonvoy members keen on exploring the excitement of casinos can now book rooms in MGM Resorts properties using Bonvoy points.
