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

Forbes Five-Star Accolades Strengthen MGM’s Luxury Footprint

Concentration of Five-Star Distinctions in Las Vegas and Macau

MGM Resorts International is again collecting top honors from Forbes Travel Guide, earning 13 Five‑Star designations across its Las Vegas and Macau portfolio, underscoring the company’s emphasis on ultra‑luxury hospitality. The awards highlight long‑running excellence at flagship properties — SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand secures its 17th consecutive Five‑Star designation, ARIA Sky Suites its 14th, and MGM MACAU its 11th — positioning MGM as a consistent benchmark for high‑end guest experience in both markets.

The recognitions extend across accommodation tiers, spas and restaurants, reflecting a company‑wide execution of Forbes’ strict standards for service, facilities and culinary presentation. In Macau, Emerald Tower at MGM COTAI and Skylofts at MGM COTAI mark five successive years of Five‑Star recognition. Spa awards include The Spa at ARIA maintaining Five‑Star status for an eighth consecutive year — noted as the largest spa with the distinction — while Tria spas at both MGM COTAI and MGM MACAU each record seven straight Five‑Star honors.

Culinary accolades further illustrate MGM’s luxury positioning, with Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand earning a 20th successive Five‑Star rating and Bellagio’s Le Cirque its 10th. In Macau, Five Foot Road at MGM COTAI and Imperial Court at MGM MACAU each notch five consecutive years. Together these designations signal to high‑end leisure and hospitality markets that MGM continues to meet rigorous third‑party assessments for seamless service, immaculate facilities and exceptional cuisine.

Operational impact and leadership response

MGM’s chief operating officer Ayesha Molino frames the awards as recognition of frontline teams and consistent service delivery, saying they “reflect the teams’ dedication and motivate continued excellence.” The company emphasizes that the distinctions validate ongoing training and operational investments aimed at sustaining luxury standards across different geographies and product lines.

Forbes evaluation process and media access

Forbes Travel Guide awards are issued after meticulous evaluations and training, and are reserved for properties that meet stringent criteria for ultra‑luxury guest experiences. MGM publishes the results via its newsroom and invites media to access high‑resolution images of its award‑winning spas, restaurants and accommodations as it leverages the recognitions to reinforce its global hospitality positioning.
