Marriott, MGM to Launch Combined Loyalty Offering

Marriott International in October will begin to add 17 MGM Resorts International properties to Marriott’s Bonvoy loyalty program under a “long-term” licensing agreement, the companies announced Monday. 

Financial and contract-length terms were not disclosed. 

The program, dubbed MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, adds more than 40,000 MGM rooms across Las Vegas and “other U.S. cities” to Marriott’s loyalty program, the companies said in a statement. While the licensing deal is set to launch in October with “several” MGM resort properties, all participating properties are expected to be available by the end of the year, the companies said.

Loyalty members of both MGM resorts and Marriott will be able to cross link accounts to exchange points and earn “select member benefits,” according to the companies.

• Vdara Hotel & Spa
• MGM Grand Hotel & Casino
• NoMad Las Vegas
• The Signature at MGM Grand
• Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino
• New York-New York Hotel & Casino

Additionally, Bellagio Resort & Casino will join The Luxury Collection, Aria Resort & Casino will join Autograph Collection, Park MGM will become part of Tribute Portfolio, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will continue its affiliation with Autograph Collection.
