| - MGM Grand is a landmark hotel and location for Las Vegas. It was the prize of the 90's that has withstood the test of time and the slew of newer more high-end casino's that have popped up around it. As dingy as the lions look and how not attractive it looks from the outside it's a world class casino even at its age and that it's out of its glory days. How many countless prize fights were held there?, when the heavyweights ruled the world. I can't even name the buffet or the club that is there, and yes it's been a while since I've stayed there. The floorplan is what keeps it from looking too dated, but the rooms were so cutting edge back then they aren't nearly as bad as NYNY today. Some minor upgrades are what makes this more of the Stratosphere of the south strip. There were no games or tables that I can remember as if I wanted to come check out next time. This is one of these places that are a must go to if your in Vegas. Yes there are bigger, new, nicer, hotels, but not many with more history and when you go H2H against what's out there and talk to some older people they'll tell you MGM stood tall and proud for many years before they started going to Caesars, Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn, and the like.
