Final Thoughts
For an MGM elite member I think you're getting the better part of this deal, especially if you're NOIR. However as a Marriott Titanium Elite member I will enjoy the 2PM late checkout and priority check-in. While I don't go to Las Vegas much anymore when I do it's usually for a special occasion and I always seem to stay at MGM properties. I would have liked to see some sort of status match to MGM's loyalty program, maybe that's still in the works, but for now the hotel perks are decent for now.
