W Marriott — Marriott International

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.

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.

When is the best time to visit Norway? A seasonal breakdown

Embrace each season's beauty in Norway

Norway

Norway, founded in 872 AD, is known for its stunning fjords, magical northern lights, and exciting winter sports. Figuring out the best time to visit Norway can be difficult when planning a trip, as this gorgeous country has something to offer all year round. The best time to visit Norway depends on what you want to experience.

If you’re a summer lover, the long days and the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun make late May to August perfect for exploring the country’s landscapes. On the flip side, if winter sports are more your style, visiting between December and early March will let you hit the slopes on one of Norway’s 300 mountain peaks, plus you’ll have a chance to see the breathtaking northern lights.

Going to Olympic National Park? This winterizing adjustment could affect your trip

Mount Olympic National Park makes plans to winterize. Here's what you need to know.

Olympic National Park crews are set to remove the temporary bridge on the North Shore Quinault Road on October 23, 2024. Installed during the summer of 2023, this temporary bridge was constructed to help mitigate the strain on a failing culvert located just north of the intersection between North Shore and South Shore Roads. Unfortunately, park crews have determined that it likely won’t hold up against the harsh winter weather conditions expected in the coming months.
What does this mean for fall and winter travelers to Olympic National Park?

The National Park Service (NPS) reports that this removal will temporarily split the Quinault Loop Drive into two separate out-and-back routes for the duration of the winter season. While this change will impact local travel, visitors can still reach the Graves Creek area by using the South Shore Road.
