| - You wake up, hungover from a night of partying in Vegas. You stumble to the bathroom in your hotel room and drag a toothbrush across your face by rote. Oh, how good a shower would feel on your pillow-marked face! You step to the shower and reach down to the controls. You turn the lever counter clockwise and it goes on briefly. But you reach the end of the lever's range of motion and it turns off. Huh? You squint at the lever and surroundings which bear no demarcation at all. Your oxygen-deprived brain is unable to comprehend how to use this absurdly complicated shower mechanism. Both ends turn the water off? You put the lever in the middle and the shower starts spewing water again, but it's cold. You look up, and a bizarre, futuristic looking faucet made of copper is shooting out a single jet that looks like a high powered super soaker. You play with the temperature gauge for a long two minutes, finally acquiring the proper temperature. You resign yourself to a shower jet that is far too forceful to be comfortable and step into the tub. What?! The tub is filling rapidly and the drain is closed, with absolutely no visible open/close control.
Yeah, the shower is a confusing device. Other than that, MGM has a decent hotel, a decent casino, a mediocre location. For simplicity and brevity:
Pros:
-Ample supply of table games ($10 craps)
-Reasonably priced hotel
-Friendly service
-Large selection of restaurants on the grounds
-Monorail access
Cons:
-Ever seen the cross-shape of the hotel? Hotel rooms at the end of the hallways are astonishingly far away from the elevators
-Questionable organization of the casino floor. Somewhat harder to get your bearings than in other casinos
-Weak location. Other than the monorail, it takes a crazy long time to get to neighboring casinos
I'd stay here again if the deal was right. Wouldn't go out of my way to return though.
