| - This was a good value. As in, there was a lot of it to experience. It wasn't fabulous, but it didn't suck either! It was the first Vegas place I paid for out of pocket as a poor college student with my poor graduate student boyfriend (November 2007), so it holds pretty fond memories for us :)
For such a sprawling place, it was pretty well-run. You kind of have to get used to feeling like a little cog in a massive machine. Service was impersonal, but fairly brisk and efficient. We got the regular no frills room, and were satisfied with what we received. Around 400 sq. feet, with a king bed and a cool shaped couch. The bathroom was average.
The main draw for us was the fact that this place is so big that it has EVERYTHING. It has a mega sized casino, with decent minimums for black jack on a slower night. There are also tons of restaurants. The first time we were there, we were too poor to go to anything except the McDonald's in the food court, but even their food court was fun to sit in! Open and airy, good for people watching.
I knew I was coming back to visit the restaurants once I got my hands on some cash though. Couldn't walk through their eye-popping restaurant row without remembering it good. I've since stopped by to try Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grille and Fiamma. Wasn't disappointed!
South end location on Strip makes MGM easy to get to from airport, but it's far from rest of strip.
