| - My friends and I stayed in a junior suite here for three nights. It's a gorgeous hotel; the rooms seem to be nicer than at the main MGM Grand.
The bed was big and comfy. It has a huge bathroom with a tub, large shower and separate room for the toilet. I guess this is more geared towards couples than a few guys on a trip together... There's a little TV in the bathroom too, so your boob tube addiction doesn't go unfed.
Each tower has its own pool and they all seem to be interconnected with outdoor paths. There were plenty of lounge chairs available, a bar (I assume there's one at each pool as well) and plenty of towels. Definitely a more laid back environment than the main pool or Wet Republic, which isn't a bad thing when you just want to chill out in the sun and not be completely surrounded by a bunch of meat heads and bros.
Another reason to stay here instead of the MGM would be the line ups - I never saw the line up at the MGM shorter than 50 people, probably more. The only time I saw any people at all queued to check in/out at the Signature was on a Friday evening before a big music festival at the MGM, and even then it was just a handful.
Some minor negatives that didn't factor in much are that it is a bit of a walk to get to the main part of the MGM, about a 10m brisk walk from Tower 2 to the main MGM lobby, a bit less to the hub of restaurants and bars in The District. Also, the fire pits are only available during the hours when the pool is open, until 8pm and must be turned on by the hotel maintenance crew, who are generally busy doing other things. 1. There's absolutely no point in having the fire pit on when its +30C in the *daylight* and 2. you're never going to wrangle someone down to get in on anyway.
All in all though, the Signature was a fantastic choice and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, if/when I return to Vegas.
