| - We stayed in a junior suite in Tower 2 on the 38th floor (upper penthouse). The view was okay facing the Strip, but the Strip was a long block away and the giganormous Planet Hollywood on the cross-street (Harmon Ave.) directly next to the tower was in some round-the-clock stage of construction. (We happened to be there on opening night of PH, as well, so traffic was horrendous!)
But I digress. It was nice to have an actual balcony, although there was no outdoor furniture to sit on. The interior of our simple, open square room was nice with dark wood and granite countertops in the kitchenette, which included a microwave, one-burner cool stovetop, half refrigerator, cookware, and utensils. We also found lush king bedding, a clean and open bathroom with dual sinks, jacuzzi tub and separate shower all dressed in marble and granite. All other kudos have been described by others already, but I'll add this list directly from The Signature's brochure:
*Private check-in and check-out privileges through The Signature's lobby
*Concierge in each tower
*24-hour in-suite dining
*Private heated pool complex
*Poolside cabanas
*Starbucks coffee shop
*24-hour valet parking
*Lobby Lounge
*Fitness Center
*24-hour bell staff
*Business Center
*Limo service
*Same-day laundry and dry-cleaning services
*Meeting space
Although The Signature Towers are a 10-minute covered walk to the MGM and the Strip, as soon as you hit the MGM Grand Pool Area you have the MGM Spa and a number of eateries within a few feet of the The Signature private entrance. Here we enjoyed lunch at 'wichcraft, which helped make up for not visiting Manhattan this year...and an incredible dinner at Seablue. We also managed to squeeze in some spa treatments the morning of our departure.
So why three stars?
Service was spotty: wonderful at times and downright rude at others.
The computer systems seemed out of sync: both my name and hubby's were supposedly in the system, but hubby was given a difficult time regarding services a couple times b/c they could not find him. When they did find him, they did not apologize and simply continued to treat him as if he did not belong there. Also, despite confirming a late check-out b/c of the spa treatments we had booked, we were both locked out of our room at the usual check-out time.
The fragrance that funnels through the ventilation system caused allergies so intense that I was congested through dinner at Seablue and sneezing until I had a nosebleed. I would prefer the hotels that claim to be smoke-free also be fragrance-free, but sleeping with the balcony door open helped.
And that long walkway to get to the nightlife...well, you need to be prepared for it. Many times we didn't "go back upstairs" b/c it was a hassle. The Signature is a great place for privacy and business meetings, but if you want to partake of the Vegas scene, you probably would enjoy staying in the MGM Grand, where you still have easy access to the wonderful selection of MGM's 4- and 5-star restaurants and its shows, or elsewhere right on the Strip. My favorite luxury hotel in Vegas is still the Wynn for its unique design, elegance, and top-notch but not-snot service.
