Long-time fantasy football league of childhood friends comes together for its first-ever in-person draft through an unforgettable BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy experience Click here for photo assets LAS VEGAS (September 8, 2026) – BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, and Marriott Bonvoy teamed up to bring one fantasy football league together for a draft weekend more than a decade in the making. The Vegas Fantasy Draft Sweepstakes winner brought 11 league members to Las Vegas for their first live fantasy football draft from August 28-30. The childhood friends from Minnesota have played together for 14 years but had never drafted in person. Hosted by actor and comedian Rob Riggle, the weekend transformed the group's annual fantasy football tradition into a once-in-a-lifetime experience combining sports, entertainment, travel and hospitality. The celebration kicked off on Friday, August 28, with a welcome party and sports trivia showdown at ARIA Resort & Casino, Autograph Collection, where Riggle helped determine the league's draft order. On Saturday, the group took over the BetMGM Sportsbook at ARIA Resort & Casino, with Riggle bringing his signature humor and energy through live commentary, playful reactions and plenty of friendly competition. He even raised the stakes by selecting a five-minute stand-up comedy performance as the punishment for the league's last-place finisher. Beyond the draft, the grand-prize winner and his guests received a two-night stay at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection, round-trip airfare, dinner at CARBONE RIVIERA, and a $4,000 MGM Resorts credit for dining and spa experiences at MGM Resorts destinations. The weekend brought to life BetMGM and Marriott Bonvoy's shared goal of turning fandom and loyalty into memorable real-world experiences. For a group of friends who had spent 14 seasons drafting from afar, the experience gave them the opportunity to finally celebrate their longstanding tradition together and created a memory that extended far beyond fantasy football.
