| - I've stayed at the MGM a number of times in the past, and I'm not exactly sure why, but there's something about this place that makes me want to stay...I guess I like the whole big Vegas resort...pools/casino/restaurants, and the easy access of the monorail. I've given my reviews in categories...hope this helps!
Location
Location isn't so bad here considering though it's a bit a stretch away from the strip. If you're flying into Vegas, it's awesome...whether you're renting a car or taking a cab, it's only 5 minutes away so you do save that time and money from sitting in traffic from the strip. The monorail station allows free-flowing movement along the strip without the use of the car.
Check-In
Checking into the hotel can be a drag if you arrive at the peak hour. I didn't have to face this issue due to being a regular--checked in through the VIP line.
Rooms
The rooms are fairly standard. My friends and I stayed in the standard rooms...nothing fancy but had what it needed...2 beds, bathroom, a TV, and a fridge (pre-requested). If you're coming here to vacation with friends, you don't need a fancy room...just a place to pass out and sleep a few hours. The hallways weren't too noisy...sure, would've loved to stay somewhere more fancy but hell, 3 days isn't much...just suck it up...
Amenities
The gaming area is large...and you can easily get lost. The good side is that you don't need to leave the area so fast b/c you can spend a lot of time in there and have fun without leaving the hotel.
Pool
The pool's pretty nice here...it's large and surprisingly, it wasn't crowded when we were out...
Overall
I would stay at the MGM again. It's a nice hotel, nothing fancy but it does have a lot to offer for the money you pay. If it's for a few days and you could care less about sleeping and using all the fancy crap in the room, MGM is where you should book your place of stay. Like I said, it's far from the center of the strip, but I would suggest to go to the strip for the day (play/eat/shop) and at night, come back and rest.
