MGM Resorts International Earns 13 Forbes Five‑Star Awards in Las Vegas and Macau

MGM’s Forbes Five-Star Momentum

Repeat Five-Star Honors Reinforce MGM's Luxury Position

MGM Resorts International is receiving renewed recognition from Forbes Travel Guide as 13 of its Las Vegas and Macau offerings receive Five-Star designations, underlining the company’s emphasis on ultra-luxury hospitality. The awards span hotels, spas and restaurants and spotlight long-running winners: SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand earns its 17th consecutive Five‑Star designation while ARIA Sky Suites receives its 14th. MGM MACAU records its 11th Five‑Star year, and Emerald Tower at MGM COTAI together with Skylofts at MGM COTAI mark five successive years of top honors.

The accolades extend across MGM’s spa and dining portfolios, signalling depth in service as well as accommodations. The Spa at ARIA retains Five‑Star status for an eighth straight year and is noted as the largest spa holding the distinction. The Spa at Four Seasons Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay achieves its sixth straight Five‑Star award, and Macau’s Tria outlets at MGM COTAI and MGM MACAU each secure seven consecutive Five‑Star honors. On the restaurant side, Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand marks its 20th successive Forbes Five‑Star rating, Le Cirque at Bellagio its 10th, and Macau’s Five Foot Road at MGM COTAI and Imperial Court at MGM MACAU each record five consecutive years.

MGM is framing the recognitions as validation of sustained operational standards and guest experience targets. Chief Operating Officer Ayesha Molino says the distinctions reflect employee dedication and motivate continued excellence across the resorts, from service delivery to culinary presentation and facility upkeep. MGM positions the awards as benchmarks that inform training, property investment and its global luxury strategy, reinforcing its brand among high-end leisure and hospitality markets.

Forbes’ evaluations underpin the prestige, with the guide bestowing Five‑Star status only after meticulous, independent inspections and training assessments that judge service consistency, cuisine, presentation and facility condition. Industry observers view repeated Five‑Star runs as indicators of institutionalised quality that support premium positioning in both resort and integrated casino-hotel segments.

MGM issues the announcement via PR Newswire on Feb. 11, 2026 and invites media to its newsroom for high-resolution images of award-winning spas, restaurants and accommodations. The company underscores the recognitions as part of its ongoing commitment to world‑class hospitality across its Las Vegas and Macau portfolios.
