As a Vegas aristocrat with 50+ trips under my belt, I was lured away from Wynn (my usual) by a casino host wanting me to "re-experience the NEW MGM!". New rooms etc. "We will blow you away!"
What I got was the same old tired MGM experience:
- no limo from the airport (promised) - cabbed it which was fine since it was so close to the airport
- room type not available upon checkin (6PM) - "we can switch you over tomorrow" - got a smoking room (wanted non) which was nicely newly furnished - but it had the remnants of the previous guest (partly opened gift basket, two empty beer bottles, etc. Couldn't switch out - host conveniently not available.
- Freeplay not available / no record
Needless to say, I got a bad vibe within the first hour and actually moved over to Wynn.
I give it two stars because I see the rooms have been upgraded.
Lots of places to stay in Vegas, but for a primped Wynn Tower Suite / Aria Sky Suite regular - very meh.
