Marriott International and MGM Resorts announced Monday that MGM’s iconic Delano Las Vegas will undergo a rebranding as the W Las Vegas, adding a new luxury offering to Marriott’s global portfolio. The transformation of the 47-story property, located on the Las Vegas Strip, is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

This move is part of a broader partnership between the two hospitality giants, first unveiled in July of last year. The long-term licensing deal saw four of MGM’s Las Vegas properties integrated into Marriott’s collections, while eight others were brought into a co-branded offering under the MGM Resorts with Marriott Bonvoy umbrella.

Since its official launch in March 2024, the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy has exceeded expectations, with bookings significantly outpacing projections. Marriott reports that hundreds of thousands of room nights have already been booked, reflecting the strong demand for the collaboration between these two hospitality powerhouses.

The addition of W Las Vegas further expands the MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy, bringing the total to 12 Las Vegas Strip destinations. These include renowned properties like 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, among others.

This country is the top spot for disconnecting from digital life
Looking to unplug?
India

In a world where constant connectivity can feel overwhelming, some countries offer the perfect escape to slow down and truly disconnect. MyCross recently analyzed around 40 countries based on factors like wellness retreats, internet usage and speed, safety, national parks, population density, and walkability to identify the best places for a slower-paced lifestyle. Topping the list is India, scoring a perfect 100.

India stands out for its staggering 360 wellness retreats, including renowned destinations like Six Senses Fort Barwara and Kerala’s Ayurvedic resorts. Despite its high population density, India’s digital saturation remains relatively low, with only 56% of people using the internet and average speeds of 66 Mbps, making it easier to unplug and focus inward.

The best places for solo travel in the USA: Where to go when you’re flying solo
Wander alone, but never feel lonely
Boston

Solo travel is having a moment, and for good reason. There’s something incredibly freeing about waking up in a new place with zero compromises on what to do, see, or eat. Personally, I love solo trips because I get to follow my own schedule (or ditch it entirely), try new things, and meet people I might never have crossed paths with otherwise. And while Europe gets a lot of buzz for solo adventures, there are tons of amazing destinations stateside, too. From historic cities like Boston to laid-back beach towns and scenic mountain escapes, these are some of the best places for solo travel in the USA.

Located about two hours north of Venice, it’s an ideal destination for travelers wanting to immerse themselves in nature and mountain culture.
