MGM is like an aging showgirl making a decent attempt to re-invent itself with a lots of makeup (Wet Republic and the short run of JABBAWOCKEEZ are very cool btw). This place is starting to show its age though. The rooms look a bit tired and about halfway through my weekend there was no water in the bathroom. Zero. It had been turned off for several rooms on the floor for 'emergency maintenance'. 12 stinking noon.
These days I find the gaming here to be very mediocre. Maybe its just the vibe from the dealers and snappy or outright rude drink ladies. Something is definitely amiss here. Like super bad gambling feng shui. What does salvage the gaming is a good poker room which I tend to frequent when I'm in LV.
Having done almost everything that this casino has to offer (KA, Crazy Horse, Tabu, etc.) its hard to ignore that the MGM has a lot to offer the casual visitor. Maybe familiarity does breed contempt because MGM has lost some of its luster in my eyes. Aside from some killer room deals that are being offered, I think I'm gonna have to send my business elsewhere. Thanks for the memories MGM!
