| - I haven't stayed at MGM Grand for at least 15 years. So I was glad to see that the old Wizard of Oz decor that they use to have was done away with, as the look of the hotel was much better.
Upon entering, there is a fragrance that is throughout the lobby ... couldn't quite place it, but pleasant nonetheless. They also have videos behind the check in desk, I imagine in an effort to keep you occupied since the process of checking in takes an act of congress at any hotel in Vegas.
Contrary to what my associates said when they checked in, my little check in lady was very pleasant. Perhaps she had just started her shift and hadn't had time to be beat down by people. LOL.
I think my one complaint about this place was that I stayed in the main hotel and there was no coffee pot, yet the Signature has coffee pots in the rooms. I get it, you want me to pay for coffee, like everything else, but can't a gal have one cup after rolling out of bed?!
As with all Vegas hotels, they pump oxygen into them which by Day #2, has completely made my nasal passages raw. MGM was nowhere near as bad as over at Mandalay Bay, about doing this, but still enough to be annoying each morning.
Lots of decent restaurants and bars. I did not go to Tabu because I had read the reviews and opted not to waste my time.
All in all, it was a decent stay ... but had I had a coffee pot in my room, they might have earned an extra star!!
