The Aria 32 ILHA WHAT HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST CHANGES IN GUEST EXPERIENCE THE LAST FEW YEARS? ARE GUESTS LOYAL TO ONE BRAND? HOW DO YOU ENGAGE THEM? The biggest changes that a lot of organizations have focused on in the last couple of years is the need to create more personalized interactions with our guests. There are many ways to do this, but how we leverage technology and the innovations in today’s digital world are where organizations gain a competitive advantage, as this space is constantly everchanging. New technologies build upon our successful guest service model and offer even more opportunities for personalized service and interactions. Personalized interactions are, and will always be, at the core of guest satisfaction. At MGM Resorts we have a unique opportunity to engage with our guests through 28 different properties and unique brands. But consistent across all brands is our commitment to WOWing guests with the very highest levels of service. We are proud to have a portfolio of offerings that speak to many guests and expectations. While we do see guests who are very loyal to specific brands within our organization, we also have a large population of guests who are loyal to the MGM Resorts International brand and like to stay at many of our different properties, especially internationally or our regional offerings. We have made a focused effort to ensure our loyalty program, M life makes it easy for our loyal guests to create their own adventure within our selection of offerings.
