The new partnership with crate “MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy”, which will launch in October 2023, and encompass 17 of MGM’s unrivaled resorts, representing more than 40,000 rooms in Las Vegas and other cities across the U.S.

These resorts will continue to be available on MGM Resorts’ channels, including MGMRewards.com and the MGM Resorts mobile app.

It’s almost like they planned this out beforehand, lol. Chances are that this will not work out well for loyalists. Hyatt is known for a good loyalty program; Marriott is known for Bonvoying people.
