I stayed at the MGM a while back and I have to honestly say, its probably the most boring, bland hotel I have ever stayed at in Vegas. Starting off with the hotel itself, it offers a decent environment as far as decorations and overall ambiance goes. It almost looks like a cheap mall that was remade into a hotel lobby and casino. Next is the room. Once again, one of the most bland and boring rooms I have had the pleasure staying at. Not a real WOW factor as fas as the experience goes. Very normal, dry and simple. Not to mention that I had an AMAZING view of the airport, yuck. I spent more time at other hotels than I did at my very own. MGM needs to spice things up a little bit, just to lighten up the scene.
I recommend staying here if your looking for a not so Vegas hotel as far as movement and excitement goes. Other than that, i'd look elsewhere. Also, kiddos might enjoy it a little more with the Lion den and Rainforest cafe being in there.
