\n\tThe Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is expanding its relationship with Marriott International, John Unwin, the resort\u2019s chief executive officer, said Thursday.<\/p>\n
\tGuests staying at the 2,995-room Strip resort will now be able to transfer points between the Cosmopolitan\u2019s Identity program and the Marriott Rewards program. The Cosmopolitan has been part of the Marriott Autograph Collection of luxury independent hotels since 2010.<\/p>\n
\tThe $3.9 billion Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, located between CityCenter and Bellagio, opened Dec. 15, 2010.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cAfter more than three years of a successful partnership, we are thrilled to announce a new chapter in our relationship with Marriott and Autograph Collection,\u201d Unwin said in a statement. \u201cThe move will positively impact both Cosmopolitan and Marriott guests by making Identity points redeemable for room around the world via Marriott and Marriott Rewards points even more applicable in Las Vegas than they are today.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tGuests have been able to earn Marriott Rewards points by staying at the Cosmopolitan, and gambling in a 100,000-square-foot casino, or spending money in the Marquee Nightclub or any of the numerous restaurants or shops. The new deal allows Identity points to be used at nearly 3,800 Marriott locations around the world.<\/p>\n
