| - Stayed at MGM last night. The rooms were reasonable ($135/night) and very nice. I'm not sure where all the complaints about the rooms come from, or I must have just lucked out. Our room was on the 20th floor and had a king bed. Everything in the room was very nice (beds very comfortable, shower pressure great, everything immaculately clean) and we had a nice view, too. The room was definitely spacious and even had a couch and desk, definitely did not feel crammed in the slightest.
We spent most of our time at this casino. It seems to have a lot going on for it and I'll do a quick run down of everything...
Restaurants: They have a lot of nice fine dining restaurants. Craftsteak, Wolfgang, Joel Robuchon, etc. TIP: Mostly all of these restaurants have a "Winter Tasting Menu" going on right now, and they do the same for summer, fall, etc. It offers you a 3-4 course meal at a greatly discounted price. Some of the cheaper ones included Fiamma and Wolfgang for $45/person for 3 courses which is a steal. Definitely take advantage of that! The cheaper, more casual establishments seem to be fewer here. They have 'wichcraft, the casual sandwich place, the buffet, and a deli/restaurant.
Lounges/clubs: I didn't go to any of the clubs but the bars/lounges they have around the restaurant are nice. I got two great drinks in them, one was a Lychee Martini, the other something called "The 75" which was St. Germain, champagne and lemon juice...delicious. At one of the bars the bartenders get up and dance on the tables every so often. Most of them don't have very good service, a bartender being straight out rude while we asked for the drink menu, telling us to "go find one." We left.
Gambling: Well, I had no luck gambling here and blew a lot more money than I intended to. However, my family mostly all won at least over $700. I think I just have bad luck in general. Also the waitresses take a looong time to come around with drinks, but that seemed to be anywhere!
