Blah. MGM. I prefer places like Imperial Palace. It might be dirtier and have a bad odor BUT it's where the action is. I must admit, it takes a little longer to walk from MGM to where the good part of the strip is. But I am lazy so that doesn't say much. If you are staying here in the summer when Vegas is unbearably hot then you might want to take the tram or something. Walking is not fun, even at night you'll want to kill yourself. MGM has a beautiful exterior but the rooms are pretty mediocre. The bathroom is a little fancier than usual but besides an extra painting on the wall of the room, it's pretty much the same thing as any cheap hotel in Vegas, except, you know, MGM isn't that cheap.
POSITIVES? LION! although that lazy piece of sht is always sleeping or refuses to move. ENTERTAIN US! Just kidding. The lion is pretty cool though. Other than that, if you have other choices to stay, I would stay away from the MGM.
FINAL COMPLAINT, THE PARKING LOT IS FAR FROM THE HOTEL ITSELF. WALK WALK WALK. Bring some Heelys
