How can you help but not be blown away by this place? The complex is huge! My wife does not swim but I was able to coax her into trying the lazy pool. She had a great time! We had a blast floating around the lazy river in 92 degree heat with our tasty (albeit overpriced) mango margarita. This is a must-do if you stay at the MGM. The tourists are a pain in the ass because there are so many of them. Add us to that list! Getting a couple recliners can be a challenge so arrive early or late, but not in between. Also, all the tubes were rented out when we got there but I was able to procure one for free from a departing gentleman. I, in-turn, passed it on to another tourist when we left. Oh, also they have lockers you can rent for ten bucks a day.
Yes, the place is crowded and amenities are expensive-welcome to Las Vegas. I love it!!
