| - We stayed at the MGM last October. In addition to a comfortable couch, we requested a (rather comfy) cot which came in handy for our questionably-sober guests. While I like marble, having the desk and coffee table topped with the stuff made them harder to move than necessary. Their pool (for hotel guests only) was fairly large and inviting; I took a much-needed nap poolside. (Oh, the now-standard "do not use hangers here" signs by the sprinklers amused me - who DOES that?)
Gambling? Their casino rocks, as I actually won (some) money. Table limits fluctuate depending on the time of day, so the temptation to gamble can be pretty bad (I was making table bets while walking to cash my chips). At night, parking at the MGM can be a drag, from the mad confusing valet system to the unlit parking signs.
Hungry? There are lots of fast-food and luxury dining options in-house (they have a Wichcraft!) and since they're on the southern section of the strip (near Monte Carlo and Luxor), you're near Ginseng (a Korean BBQ) right around the corner.
All in all, a trouble-free stay! I've been in better hotel rooms, but the pool, reasonable cost (for Vegas), and dining options make the MGM easy to recommend.
