Can you say old, tired, and dated??
Unfortunately, the MGM has seen its brightest days go and pass. As we walked into the lobby, half of the entire space was sectioned off (possibly for remodeling?).
The hotel felt like a construction zone! Seriously. One of pet peeves is keeping something open while trying to do an extensive remodel. It simply doesn't work! I don't know why anyone would stay here with all the hammering, noise, and dust. The lobby basically has nothing fun to do in it. The hotel is also on the end of the strip making it harder to get to where the action is (Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood, Paris). They even took away the live tigers (which were the only reason to make a trip to the MGM).
Let's hope this remodel is a complete overall of the hotel. Otherwise, I think MGM has seen its better days.
MGM Resorts should focus on their flagship properties that are actually modern and entertaining. (It is embarrassing in my opinion to have a resort open with your flagship MGM branding on it that is subpar to most of the other resorts on the strip.)
