| - We just got back form 5 nights in Vegas at the MGM. I was getting worried because of all the negative reviews on here, but as usually that was all in vain. No worries here, we LOVED it!!! However, we did get off to a bumpy start, but it was soon rectified. My husband and I went to Vegas with another couple, so we had booked 2 rooms, (1 smoking, 1 non-smoking). Upon arrival at the hotel (about 11am) we checked our bags with a bell hop, which we actually didn't have to do because we paid $20 extra for early check in, so we went right to our room. But the bell hop was free, we just tipped him and then they brought the bags to the room in about 5 minutes. So we didn't have to schlep them, which was kind of nice. We got a room on the 8th floor. Our friends got a room on the 20th floor. I kind of thought to myself that they would probably have a better view, but I was trying to be positive. Well, I was right! We get to our room and open the curtain and it's a giant stucco wall! Our friends immediately call us and tell us how freakin' awesome his room was. I was LIVID! I booked this entire trip, made all the reservations and paid the same price they did for a "City View" room!!!! I called the front desk and they told me to call back around 3. I wasn't happy, but we got changed and went down to the pool.
The pool complex at the MGM is amazing. They have about 5 pools, including a lazy river. Music is playing, tons of chairs and plenty of bars! But drinks are EXPENSIVE! We paid $34 for 2 drinks. Ridiculous! I didn't even get a slight buzz. This was the only time all week we made it to the pool. I wish I had 3 more days just to lay by the pool.
After the pool I went back down to the front desk. I told them my story and we got a room on the 20th floor. I had already unpacked a little in the old room, so I threw everything back in the suitcases. I felt like criminal running form the police! So we ended up schlepping our bags anyway, our friends helped us move to our new room. The 20th floor was a smoking floor, but you would never know. We never smelled any cigarettes. They must have a super deluxe exhaust fan that was probably the incessant humming I heard. The beds were so amazingly comfortable I fell asleep in moments and didn't hear the humming anymore. I was very happy with our new room. However, our friends' view was still slightly better than ours!
It's really far to walk anywhere and you have to walk about 1/2 mile just to get out of the hotel. We didn't mind though. The room was nice. Our maid was awesome. The bed was heavenly. I would stay here again.
