Marriott International has announced plans to bring a new hotel to the Las Vegas Strip by 2020 as a part of a partnership between the hotel giant and global developers Witkoff Group. Called “The Drew Las Vegas,” the location will be a first for Marriott in Las Vegas and the debut of the EDITION brand on the Strip. 

The Drew Las Vegas will host 4,000 guest rooms and over 500,000 sq ft of space for meetings, conventions, and events. As one of Marriott International’s portfolio of 6,500+ hotels and resorts across 127 different countries, this latest addition will be a landmark for the hospitality juggernaut. 

New York-based firm Witkoff Group will aid in the development of the project, drawing on a deep well of experience. Two Blackbirds Hospitality will handle the launch and operations of the hotel once construction is complete. All three major players in the project are thrilled to develop a real Marriott presence on the world’s most famous piece of real estate.

Hyatt Leverage shifts SME booking to a Spotnana-powered tool

Hyatt rebuilt Hyatt Leverage, its small and midsize business travel program, on Spotnana's booking platform, offering exclusive rates at more than 1,300 hotels. Eligibility requires 50 actualized room nights a year. The rates aren't available through travel agencies or other booking tools, so the practical decision for small firms is where they book their Hyatt stays.

  • 01Hyatt Leverage requires 50 actualized room nights per year—confirm you meet the minimum before applying.
  • 02Hyatt Leverage is now powered by Spotnana, and Hotel Dive reported that Marriott International also recently expanded its partnership with Spotnana. That suggests the same provider could sit under direct corporate hotel booking at more than one chain.

Only 3.2% of restaurant operators run AI companywide, NRA survey finds

Only 3.2% of restaurant operators run AI companywide, NRA survey finds

The National Restaurant Association's November 2026 technology paper finds 38.6% of restaurant operators use AI tools, but only 3.2% run AI companywide. The holdups are integration, staff skills and data quality. Multiunit chains that connect their existing sales, labor and inventory systems, and train staff to use them, are better placed to take pilots chain-wide.

  • 01Only 3.2% of operators run AI companywide, and about 20% are in small pilots—leaving many chains between a test kitchen and a rollout.
  • 02Before scaling an AI pilot, time the task it replaces, including the minutes spent checking and correcting its output. The signal to watch industry-wide is whether the pilot share turns into companywide adoption.

Oracle's no-cost OPERA Cloud AI changes the ROI question for hotels

Oracle's no-cost OPERA Cloud AI changes the ROI question for hotels

Oracle now includes its OPERA Cloud Assistant at no added cost, and Agilysys has rolled out more than 30 AI features and modules. Hotels must now pick the workflow, owner and measure of success. So far, 84% of workers say AI lightens their workload, but only 15% see better frontline work.

  • 01Hotel workers credit AI with lighter workloads at 84% and better frontline work at just 15%, pointing to a gap in guest-facing roles.
  • 02When AI ships free inside the property management system, the hard part shifts to choosing the workflow, naming an owner and defining a measure of success.
  • 03Clean, consistent property data can help large language models find a hotel, panelists said.
