BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy will once again launch an epic Las Vegas fantasy football draft weekend for one fan and 11 of their guests where they join a party hosted by actor and comedian Rob Riggle.
What's up for grabs?
The winner and their chosen friends will enjoy return-trip flights to Las Vegas, a two-night stay at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, a $4,000 MGM Resorts credit as well as 12 tickets to an exclusive fantasy football draft party at the BetMGM Sportsbook at Aria Resort & Casino.
Rob Riggle, who has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show and Fox NFL Sunday, will then provide instant reactions and commentary as each draft pick is made. Thus providing a unique twist to one of the biggest days in the fantasy football calendar.
"Creating legendary experiences for our players is at the core of what we do," said Matt Prevost, BetMGM Chief Revenue Officer.
"We're building on the momentum and success of last year's Vegas Fantasy Draft with Marriott Bonvoy as we bring fans another unforgettable weekend. Rob Riggle's energy and comedic talent make him a great addition to this year's draft."
How to enter
To enter the sweepstakes and potentially be the lucky winner, BetMGM players will need to opt-in by Friday, July 31 through the promotions section of the BetMGM app and link their Marriott Bonvoy and BetMGM accounts. Once opted in, players will earn one entry for every $10 in qualifying wagers, with players able to earn up to 25 entries each.
BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy furthering their partnership
This competition highlights the expanding relationship between BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy. Since launching their rewards program in 2024, members in legal jurisdictions have been able to link accounts, earn BetMGM Rewards points via playing on their sportsbook or casino platforms and convert them into Marriott Bonvoy points.
Then, players can redeem them in the hotel chain's huge portfolio of almost 40 hotel brands and nearly 10,000 destinations worldwide, thus successfully reinforcing both companies' strategy of connecting gaming with once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences.
In addition, the two companies are aligned with the Marriott Bonvoy Moments series which allows members the chance to visit destinations including the United Kingdom, Italy, the Bahamas, Ireland and Miami. Each travel experience also includes a multi-night stay at one of MGM Resorts International's Las Vegas properties.
The future of loyalty programs?
As operators continue to find innovative ways to differentiate their loyalty programs from bonuses, the Vegas Fantasy Draft is a fun and engaging way for a gaming and hospitality brand to work together to create memorable experiences for their customers. Throw in the celebrity entertainment to the luxury accommodation and gaming credits and this prize stands alone as being one of the best in the industry.
