| - I've stayed here a couple times, and just did again very recently.
The rooms aren't all that great.. the linens are on the cheap side, and nothing is really luxurious in the regular rooms. I did get a good deal, and paid and average of $37/night including tax, and the $5 resort fee.
The greatest thing about the casino, is the all electronic poker room. It's just like playing online, except you can see and talk to everyone. They even show odds of winning like on the poker TV shows. 50 cent and dollar blinds. The comps suck though. The rake is supposed to be the lowest on the strip.. and there are always people in there. The poker staff is very friendly. It's the only place that i gamble now.. but i heard they will be adding these machines elsewhere soon.
They have a food court, and an IMAX ride as well. I did notice a revamping of the Casino too.. in ways to try to get you to spend or lose more money!!
1) Flat screen TVs installed right above the tables to distract you from your blackjack hand.
2) Hot bikini gogo dancers right next to the tables, to distract you as well.
3) Female staff asking to give you a massage for $1/minute while you gamble.
MGM is hurting right now, and they're pinching pennies. I've also notice room rates vary wildly from day to day.
Overall, this is a decent bet, for the right price.. For under $40/night, it's decent, but over $60, and you can probably do better.
There is a free tram that runs to the Luxor and the Mandalay bay.. or if it is closed, they have people movers as an alternative.
