I'm sorry but the MGM just doesn't have that wow factor. Their theme is actually hard to decipher, other than the obvious huge lions. I mean, Hard Rock, Caesars and Bellagio....there's no question. There's an ambiance that oozes rocknroll, Roman antiquity and Italian Renaissance. At MGM...they have a cheerleader, and it's cheerleader is a massive golden lion. I was upgraded to their West Wing, and had a fabulous shower, but the rest of the room was nothing to write home about. It was a sorry sight from the window, just windows of the other rooms in the resort. Certainly a downgrade from the fabulous view I had at Treasure Island a couple years ago of the whole damn South side of the Strip. But I digress. It really seems like everything is a exceedingly long walk in comparison to the other hotels, and trust me, I know the resorts are huge in Vegas, but MGM takes the cake. And even though they fill it with stores to distract you and have you ooooh and ahhing at its sheer beauty, nothing really caught my attention. The gaming room and their bars...again, nothing to really set it apart from the rest. The most enjoyable part of this hotel was the spa....I would not return.
