Most Globalists didn’t get MGM Noir status. I would be surprised if MGM would open the door to giving away MGM Noir to Marriott elites at anywhere near the proportion that was the case for Hyatt Globalists, if they even give it away at all on the basis of Marriott elite status.

MGM wants those resort fees to run up their profits. Those more willing and able to pay the resort fees to the MGM properties are better for MGM’s business — more so when the demand picture has been buzzing along well enough for them.
