I haven't been to the MGM since 2003 and after my recent trip to Vegas I can guarantee you it won't be another 9 years before I am back! I was so impressed with this hotel from check in to check out. I arrived at 10:30am on Saturday and was surprised to see our room was available for us even at that hour. We were told we would have a recently remodeled room too. Upon entering the room we inspected it for cleanliness and it was spotless.
We then headed down to the Grand Pool for the afternoon and had a great time. We were again impressed with the fact that we were allowed to bring in our own beer to the pool provided we use their cups. No problem. There were many pools and all were clean and offered a different vibe. Just so you know, don't expect the "lazy river" to be a lazy river you've probably experienced elsewhere. There are hardly any inner tubes in the river and it is entirely 20 somethings partying it up. I was hoping for a relaxing trip down the lazy river, but it was still very fun.
Thank you MGM Grand for a great experience and for treating us Yelpers so well! I will return for sure.
