MGM Resorts International Friday announced a multi-year agreement with the National Football League Player Association. Per the agreement, MGM Resorts will be the NFLPA’s hospitality and strategic partner, creating content and fan experiences with current and former players.

The agreement also gives hospitality benefits to NFL players at MGM Resorts properties that serve as host locations.

“Partnering with the NFLPA is another indication of our strong commitment to the great sport of football across the U.S.,” said MGM Resorts Senior Vice President of Sports & Sponsorships Lance Evans in a statement. “As football’s premier events come to Las Vegas, we look forward to welcoming players and creating world-class experiences for MGM Rewards members.”

The NFLPA and MGM resorts will create opportunities for guests to meet players and alumni during the football season at Mandalay Bay’s Fan District in Las Vegas. There also will be opportunities at the 2023 NFL Pro Bowl Games and Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, and the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit

“NFL players, past and present, will be at the heart of unforgettable new experiences through MGM Resorts International’s rewards program,” said NFLPA Vice President of Partner Services Gina Scott. “We are excited about collaborating on world-class fan events designed to produce incredible benefits for MGM Rewards members and value for our players.”
