Gorgeous hotel and stunning casino. Dealers are really nice and will help you if you're a beginner. They are professional and the tables are nice. One ultra friendly dealer told me on the side that the dealers are really pulling for you to win, although most people lose. The odds are always stacked against you in favor of the house as with any casino (of course).
My wife and I were there for our honeymoon and we accidentally were put in a non-smoking room. MGM upgraded our room to a smoking room (smoking rooms are highly in demand in Vegas) for no charge and the view was stunning, room was spacious, etc.
My only complaint was that the show we saw at the crazy horse (Crazy Horse Paris) was not so hot. Should have skipped that and saw Ka (Cirque De Soliel exclusively). Don't get me wrong, the showgirls were gorgeous but the choreography really blew and they threw in a comedy Michael Jackson puppet show thing which was completely out of context to the French 'strip tease' theme.
Other than that, it was great. I think next time we go we'll try another casino even if we stay at MGM because I've heard the action is better at O'Shea's or Stratosphere because I've heard the action is better there.
Thumbs up on MGM
