| - The MGM Signature (different from the casino hotel, MGM Grand) is a fantastic place to stay. The location is a bit "off-strip" but the Signature is connected to the MGM Grand via a walkway, which is really not that long, especially if you're not wearing high heels. The walkway gives you access to the casinos in the MGM Grand and The Strip. The Miracle Mile Shops inside Planet Hollywood are also a short walk away.
There are many little things about the MGM Signature that makes you feel special: the entrance to the towers is gated, valet is complimentary. and the staff is incredibly nice. The establishment has a hotel/condo feel rather than your typical Las Vegas casino. However, in my opinion, that's what makes it a nice place to retreat to after a crazy night on The Strip.
The Signature is comprised of three towers, connected on the first floor (lobby floor) by a walkway. Each tower has its own pool, complete with full bar service. These pools are relaxing, and you DON'T have to pay to sit down! Yay! (A stark contrast to the crazy ridiculous pool parties at the casino hotels)
In addition to the awesome amenities, there is a Starbucks and hotel bar on the lobby floor. Also, the walkway to the MGM Grand is dotted with fast food establishments to quench your late night drunchies, including a froyo joint and a McDonald's.
I booked our room on AirBNB (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/113019). You really can't beat the price. I paid $506, including all fees and taxes, for 3 nights. Additionally, by booking with AirBNB, you also recieve 35% off at the fabulous Asian fusion restaurant, Social House in the Crystals. Honestly, best deal ever.
Pro Tip: Bring your own booze, mixers, and food. The rooms are equipped with a small kitchen complete with all the utensils (everything from forks to spatulas to knives). Also a blender, toaster, microwave, and mini-fridge.
