MGM Resorts and Marriott have a launched a new partnership which should be going live in early 2024. In terms of elite members, Marriott Bonvoy members will get limited elite benefits when staying with MGM, and they’ve announced the lackluster details of this partnership.

Here’s a rundown of the benefits for each membership tier: 

Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite members:

• 10% points bonus

Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite members:

• 25% points bonus
• 500 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay welcome gift

Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite members:

• 50% points bonus
• 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay or $15 food & beverage credit per night welcome gift
• Enhanced room upgrades, based upon availability
• Priority check-in
• 2 p.m. late checkout (subject to availability)*

Marriott Bonvoy Titanium Elite members:

• 75% points bonus
• 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay or $15 food & beverage credit per night welcome gift
• Enhanced room upgrades, based upon availability
• Priority check-in
• 2 p.m. late checkout (subject to availability)*

Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador Elite members:

• 75% points bonus
• 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay or $15 food & beverage credit per night welcome gift
• Waived resort fee*
• Enhanced room upgrades, based upon availability
• One suite upgrade at a Las Vegas Hotel per year, up to three-night stay*
• Complimentary 1 p.m. early check-in and 4 p.m. late checkout (subject to availability)*
• Complimentary self-parking*
• 15% off retail discount

Of the 17 MGM resorts that will join MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, four properties will also be affiliated with existing Marriott collection brands:

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

Other MGM Resorts will join the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy.

Bottom Line

MGM Resorts has announced the benefits that Marriott Bonvoy members can expect to receive when staying at MGM Resorts, and with the exception of Ambassador Elite members, all these benefits seem pretty weak. Even as a Titanium member all I’d expect is 1,000 bonus points or a $15 nightly food/beverage credit, as the room upgrades and 2pm late check-out are both subject to availability, and given how busy Las Vegas is, I’d bank on these more often not being available.

Additionally, thoughts and prayers on having your Marriott Bonvoy points correctly to your account. Over the past several years, anytime I’d stay at Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, it was always a hassle to call Marriott 10 days after the stay to open a case into why the points didn’t post, so hopefully with this new partnership, it’s more seamless.
