Have stayed at this hotel several times. Gaming had a shake up recently. I won't gamble here, but it's still a lovely hotel home base. Reasonably priced rooms on a corner near the MGM Grand, NY NY and Excalibur. The hotel was refurbished within the past two years and is bright and shiny. Rooms are clean, quiet and the staff are always professional and helpful. Always good for kids (and my inner child) is that the hotel is walking distance to M & M World, Coke World, Hershey World and the Excalibur arcade. Our most recent stay was New Years Eve. Las Vegas Boulevard was closed to traffic so everyone walked freely up and down the Strip. There were many friendly families with young children there for the countdown and fireworks display. We watched 5 displays go off simultaneously from our room. Absolutely wonderful experience I will never forget.
