| - I usually wouldn't rate a hotel pool by itself, but this isn't your typical hotel pool experience.
The MGM itself due to its pricing and atmosphere draws a younger crowd (younger than me!). Our group of 8 rented a poolside cabana and enjoyed a recent Sunday here. Our cabana man, Joey, was attentive and a great host for our day in the sun.
It was Labor Day weekend, so the price was higher than on a non-holiday weekend. You pay a fee to reserve the cabana, and charge up to that amount in food, drinks, services throughout the day. We had a lot of good food (lobster nachos, sushi) and drinks (frozen drinks, mixed drinks, buckets of beer and plenty of water and soft drinks to keep us relatively hydrated).
They have four huge pools that are moderate depth and provide a cool retreat every so often. We were located a little ways from the blaring speakers at the 20-something house music grinding pool so heard that all day long. The lazy river was crowded-groups of "dudes" hanging on the sides to pose and gawk-and nearly impassable. If you're with a group, a cabana is a good idea, allows you to relax and be off of the main deck.
