Any partnership Marriott had with MGM was probably done before MGM Grand merged with Mirage Resorts in 2000 and as such would more than likely no longer exist. The other half of the Strip (Bally's, Caesar's Palace, Flamingo, Harrah's, Imperial Palace, Paris, and Rio [although not on the Strip]) is owned by Harrah's Corporation.

Gosh this is going WAY back as well...yes at one point MGM had a relationship with MI but yes that too ended many many years ago - as I recall MGM was going to build a huge MI branded complex, unfortunately Vegas experienced a downturn shortly afterwards and the project stalled....since that time Kirk Kerkorian went on a shopping spree and MGM has morphed into a much different company than it was back then (I have kicked myself a few times for not buying MGM stock back then, it's just scary to me when 1 individual owns so much of a public company)
