| - Overall The Signature at MGM was a decent stay. The best part was the rooms- modern, clean, and comfy. I usually struggle to sleep in Vegas with the so called oxygen pumping into rooms, but I did not find this to be an issue with SIgnature, maybe because it's technically slightly off the strip and more of a condo style hotel. Undoubtedly my most restful stay in Las Vegas, out of many, many visits.
As most Vegas beds are, Signature's are very comfortable, and did not disappoint. Bathroom was nice with the shower & tub, and I was lucky to get a balcony (upon request!). I was extremely excited about a blender for some less pricey frozen drinks for the pool, but unfortunately never even put it to use.
You will see mixed reviews for the walk required from Signature towers to MGM Grand. It wasn't bad, but I don't mind walking. For those lazy people, you will not want to stay here. I was in tower 3, which is the farthest from MGM & the Strip. It was about a 5 min. walk to the MGM pools and a 7 min walk to the casino, and probably a 10 minute walk to the strip. They do have flat "escalators" to make the walk better.
The ability to use 5 or 8 or however many MGM pools is a plus, so many pools, lazy rivers and poolside seats to choose from. This was a plus. Someone going #2 in one of the pools and closing down was not a plus, but this is my second time in Vegas (first not at MGM) that this has happened....so maybe it's more common than I think and certainly not the hotels fault! But seriously, how does that even happen? On a side note, Wet Republic is also a plus for the day club partying type...just expect to thrown down some $$. There's also the option of the Signature pools (three of them) but they are a lot more low-key-I did not get a chance to put them to use as I was looking to P-A-R-T-Y for July 4th & my 30th birthday.
The MGM casino is one of my least favorite on the strip, it does not have much character to it and is outdated, compared to many of the newer casinos. This is not a huge downfall however as you can just walk to any casino nearby and are not stuck with the one you're staying at. I also find this casino to be a bit too smokey for my liking.
Overall service at the hotel was great. I usually love to stay at a new hotel every time in Vegas so I'm not 100% I'll return, but the main thing that would drag me back was the quality sleep I got at MGM Signature.
