The first time I was here was the year it opened in 1990 to see the Tournament of Kings show in the basement. I didn't start staying here until 1997. It used to be sort of on the South end of things and inconvenient but the strip has grown and the location is better now. I usually stay here because of price, of the MGM owned properties in the area it seems to be the least expensive on a regular basis. They have upgraded most of the rooms and the beds, even in the cheap rooms, are quite comfortable. My last stay I found myself in need of both security and maintenance and both times my needs were met quickly. I have a favorite bartender near the sports book but most of the time I spend in one of the nearby casinos that has a lower percentage of kids. I'll be back again I am sure.
