This hotel will give you a visual overload as soon as you step inside the doors! I will certainly stay here again when I'm in Vegas. The entertainment and the bar scene are excellent; food choices are very reasonable and good quality; the gambling needs work. That said, I'd stay here if I were you. Here are some insights:
Pro:
great variety of food choices, reasonable
Bar at Times Square - dueling pianos is a must!!!
hotel is connected to MGM and Excalibur by walkways; right next to Monte Carlo
clean hotel, great ventilation
great service, check in was actually enjoyable
fast evelators
Cons:
poor wifi
average pool
6/5 black jack (play at the others connected)
with few exceptions, dealers were not very friendly
