Reviews / Hotel

W Las Vegas officially made its debut, with the full transition of the iconic 1,117-suite tower on the Mandalay Bay campus to a W Hotel complete. Marriott Bonvoy members can book stays and earn and redeem points at the property, now part of the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy.

 

“W Las Vegas represents an exciting new chapter for MGM Resorts and for our guests seeking a new, sophisticated all-suite luxury experience on The Strip,” said Travis Lunn, president & COO, Mandalay Bay and Luxor. “W Hotels is a brand that is celebrated globally for their unique style and exceptional service, and we can’t wait to see the hotel come to life over the next couple of years, through its distinct personality, dynamic programming and elevated service culture.”

 

MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy brings together two hospitality leaders. Since its launch nearly a year ago, in March 2024, the collection has exceeded expectations and now encompasses 12 spots on the Las Vegas Strip, including Bellagio, a Luxury Collection Resort & Casino; ARIA Resort & Casino, Autograph Collection; The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection; and Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy.

 

More details about planned enhancements to W Las Vegas will be shared at a later date.
