Typically, after the first photo in our story, we remind you we broke a story long before it was officially announced or confirmed. We are not going to do that this time, other than to say we were the first to share Delano would be getting a rebrand (July 2024<\/a>) to W Las Vegas (August 2024<\/a>). The official confirmation<\/a> finally came in Oct. 2024. You’re so gullible. Do you know this blog at all?<\/p>\n Anyway, please stop fawning over our girthy prowess, it’s embarrassing.<\/p>\n Back to business!<\/p>\n As shared previously, the internal communication confirms Delano will become W Las Vegas in mid-December 2024.<\/p>\n Here’s a look at the document we’re sharing exclusively until the unethical nimrods at the Las Vegas Review-Journal steal it without attribution.<\/p>\n W Las Vegas will be operated by MGM Resorts and the current team will remain in place.<\/p>\n There will be no changes to the current food and beverage outlets, for now.<\/p>\n There are quite a few things that will be renovated over the next few years, however. Those renovations include the entrance, lobby, 3940 (a coffee stand), front desk and a “Mandalay Bay to W Las Vegas transition hallway.”<\/p>\n A new lobby lounge concept is in the works, Living Room. Yes, there’s already a Living Room at Intrigue<\/a> at Wynn. It’s unclear if W and MGM have access to the Internet.<\/p>\n Yes, there was a Living Room when W was attempted at SLS<\/a> for a minute back in 2016.<\/p>\n The memo also says Delano Beach Club will be rebranded to W Wet Deck and the space will be refreshed.<\/p>\n Yes, we’re just repeating all the items you just read in the internal communication. Mostly because you have to hear things at least twice for them to stick.<\/p>\n Skyfall will stay Skyfall, but the space will get a refresh.<\/p>\n Perhaps most significantly, all the rooms at what is now Delano will be renovated to conform with W standards, whatever those might be. The room renovation is scheduled for completion in 2027.<\/p>\n The full renovation of W Las Vegas will be completed by 2028 unless the world goes to hell in a handbasket, then all bets are off.<\/p>\n Delano doesn’t have a casino, and neither will W Las Vegas, so it’s hard to care about all this.<\/p>\n Still, it’s not all that often we see a hotel rebranded on the Las Vegas Strip, so this is pretty big news. Monte Carlo became Park MGM. Bally’s became Horseshoe. Mirage is becoming Hard Rock Las Vegas.<\/p>\n There are probably more, but we’re too exhausted from all the Review-Journal shaming to effectively use the Googles. Here’s a site<\/a> that does a good job of keeping track.<\/p>\n Delano, the most mispronounced hotel on The Strip, is becoming W Las Vegas, so update your list of Las Vegas hotels where you don’t stay because you can’t gamble there.<\/p>\n Update (11\/5\/24): The Delano sign is already being removed.<\/p>\n Wasting no time on the Delano rebrand to W Las Vegas.
