| - I didn't realize that the MGM Grand is one of the world's largest hotels. Truly, there are A LOT of rooms...it's easy to get confused with the octoganal hallways that all look alike. It's not the most luxurious hotel I've stayed in Vegas (hello Mr. Wynn), but certainly a really nice option. It's moderately luxurious, comfortable, clean, centrally located, and a good value. My friend's family lives in Vegas and they got a comped room for a weekend, which we used for my friend's bachelorette party. (Soooo much fun :)
Pros:
- free room
- really comfy beds
- clean, big, marble bathrooms
- rooms were quiet - we didn't hear the neighbors at all
- good dining choices - I've eaten at Shibuya and Wolfgang Puck, which is a great value for the quality of food
- huge pool with lots of options - it's just far from the rooms, be sure to pack everything with you. Didn't have a chance to check out Wet Republic, but it definitely seemed like a see-and-be-seen day party.
- has a stop on the monorail, which we didn't use, but seems like a good idea.
Cons:
- casino is so-so
- hotel seems a little outdated, doesn't have a lot of character
- the MGM lions are only out during the day! I wanted to see some lions!
MGM is a nice place to stay for sure, though I wouldn't consider it one of the real "destination" hotels.
