For our first Vegas trip with my boyfriend, we stayed at the MGM grand. We got a deal for 55 dollars a night and 2 free show tickets to any show we wanted. Which was pretty awesome. Since usually each room can range from 100+ a night.
The hotel is HUGE so get ready to put on some comfy shoes! This hotel is NOT heels friendly because the rooms are actually located near the main entrance of the hotel.
Some good thing about the hotel is that it has some attractions such as the lion exhibit, and the new wet republic pool (21+ only). It also has the monorail, which is very convenient because you can travel to the other side of the strip for 12 bucks for a full 24-hour pass.
Another thing, you might see some familiar famous face here and there because my boyfriend and I saw a UFC fighter while waiting for an elevator heading to our room.
