More Comments For MGM Grand


  • Great Resort! We stated in the West Wing and it was perfect! Great price, great room, great price at tables. Etc.., my Wife, Heather, and I had a great time celebrating our 5 year Wedding Anniversary! Thanks MGM Grand!

  • What a disaster! First thing a plugged shower leads to sewage being spewed all over the living room. The desk takes over an hour to locate a new room, then rushes us to get out. I have stayed at other MGM properties with much better service. Whomever manages their flagship hotel needs to instruct the staff on how to handle a situation where the plumber sprays waste in the guests room.

  • Keep your eyes on your money at Studio 54, when paying cash the bartenter will hand you money in one hand and leave the rest under your reciept under your drink. The punk thinks you won't want a reciept for the cash purchase and when you just take the drink....the weasel takes your cash. I have recieved better treatment at the carnival.

  • Stayed in one of the small suites for the first time. Wasn't that impressed. I've stayed in a West Wing room and regular Tower room, and I find that the West Wing room was a bit more appealing. While the room was big, and there was a fridge...I wasn't that impressed. True the room is probably average across the board...TV...Big Bed (Bed was nice) Bedside tables sloped so that if you put anything on the edge, it would slip off. The remote for the TV was half dead. The fact that there was a separate shower and tub w/shower was nice so that 2 people can take a shower at the same time. Was pissed that my room was not made on the 2nd day and was pissed that my lock got reset on the 2nd day. (The problem was resolved fairly quickly) MGM is a HUGE place. And if your in the tower...BE PREPARED TO WALK...overall my stay was about a 3 stars out of 5...But my wife who has a taste for Bellagio and Wynn would rate her stay as a big fat 1 star. But since this is me, I say its an okay place to stay...oh and the lazy river is awesome...and so is the scenery *wink*. And I never win there, but it's a great place to drink and Studio 54 is great for anyone...talk about HARD drinks...and if you are a guy...expect to pay a cover.

  • We arrived late Friday night (11/2/07) and stayed 4 nights at the MGM in the West Wing. Tried the $20 trick (do a search on the internet if you’re unfamiliar) and got the room at the standard room price. I’ve read reviews by other people who say the West Wing is not worth the price as the rooms are smaller. I have not been into a standard room, but the West Wing room was fine for 2 people, and was very nice and clean. The bathroom provides little privacy. The toilet and shower are only guarder with translucent glass. The vanity area is out in the open. Unless you are by yourself or with your significant other, this could be very awkward. One key thing about the West Wing was the West Wing bar. There are no signs advertising this fact, but there is an exit to the outside in that bar. That means if you are staying in the West Wing you can get from your room to the strip in less than 5 minutes. I know other people in the hotel need to budget 20 minutes to get to the strip, so this alone made the West Wing perfect for us. Beyond that, right outside the door of the West Wing bar is a convenience store/tourist junky gift shop. You can get beer/wine/snacks etc. there for significantly less than the same items inside the hotel. You also have easy access to the NYNY walkway and the poker room & sportsbook. However, you are as far away as possible from the pool. Though from what I could tell only the Signature tower was actually near the pool itself. There is also a monorail stop at the MGM. I would recommend the monorail to anyone who is planning on doing exploring up and down the strip. During our stay we went to many of the other hotels on and off the strip. Overall I was glad with our choice at MGM. Places like Bellagio, Wynn, etc. are very beautiful. But, even if I was able to get a room there at a price I could afford, I don’t think I’d want to stay there. Table games and restaurants were prohibitively expensive at these places in my opinion. MGM is right in the “sweet spot”. The hotel/casino is nice and clean and lots of restaurant options at all price levels. $10 blackjack/roulette/and craps tables were readily available at all but the most peak times. I would definitely recommend the MGM to anyone who wants a mid-level option and stay at the strip. It is head and shoulders better than low price options, and offers a comfortable environment for those who can’t pay outrageous prices at places like Bellagio etc.

  • Pretty nice basic rooms. Maybe it's just me, but this seems to be the most liberal of the higher-end hotels with room offers - I get seemingly endless deals for $79/weekend night all the time. The views tend to be marginal, but usually better than many other hotels where you're staring at air conditioning units on a roof. The green hue out the windows is nice, as are the furnishings. Bathrooms are decent but not as nice as some of the others.

  • I stayed across the street for 3 nights and had gotten some coupons from the Players Club for gaming chips and meals. I called MGM and asked if I could use them while staying @ another MGM property. She said no, had to be a guest and looked into the offer. It came with a free night! Nowhere on my documentation did it say that. I went ahead and booked it, checked in early @ noon and they had a room. Nice queen room with view of Trop, Ex, Luxor & Mandalay. I had 3 nieces with me and it was nice for them to see different hotels. Didn't play much here, too big, but really enjoyed our room.

  • So far this is our favortie place to stay. It is so big it never feels crowded. There are numerous places to eat without leaving the property. There are 5 fablous pools. Some are adult only. It is a very relaxing atmosphere in the pool area. Everyone should stay here at least once.

  • One of the most amazing resorts i've ever been to. I stayed in a $500 a night room and it was awesome. Beautiful view, cutting edge technologies in room(plasma TV that automatically rose out of the desk, iPod players for alarm clocks, etc.)great staff and in a great area right on the strip. i really never had to leave the hotel. Pool was cool that included a lazy river. best hotel ever!!!!

  • I probably won't stay here again. No hot water in the shower the last two days we were there (but the hot water worked in the sinks.) Battery missing from the remote. Light bulbs burned out in one of the lamps. The night stand and one of the tables were so badly chipped, banged up, and stained they probably wouldn't have been fit to sell in a yard sale. Room service trays with remains of half-eaten food were left in the hallways for at least three days before they were picked up. The hallways smelled bad from the rotting food. The front desk was nice, seemed concerned and apologized, all three times I reported the problem, but the front desk didn't seem to be empowered to solve the problem. Never heard from anyone in management about it, either. I emailed the hotel after I got back home but never heard from them. Poor, disappointing experience.

  • Even though the new remodeled rooms are wonderful, MGM lacked in their service department. It took us almost 1 hour to check in with an unexperienced customer service person who had no idea what she was doing. Took us just as long to check out even though we were in a hurryto leave for the plain

  • There are so many different rooms available to the regular person, that you can get a really nice room if you are willing to pay for it or if you are lucky. I got an email offer for a free upgrade from a standard room to a Bungalo Suite. When the Bungalo room filled before I got there, they bumped me up to a Celebrity Spa Suite. It was great. It started my current trend of staying in nicer rooms instead of the standard style room wherever I stay. It is a big place, but it was nice to have so many things available under one roof.

  • Always enjoy my stay @ MGM. Before I had a kind bed non smoking - This time around had 2 queen beds non smoking. Each time I had no view but it didn't matter. The stay there is always great & the service is always helpful. Would stay there again anytime!!

  • Stayed there in March and room I requested was gone so i got a suite. Nice room on 2nd floor. No view however. Check-in a t airport was nice. This place is huge though and pool is a long way from room.

  • MGM feels like the Walmart of the casinos,but it's clean and there's always something new to see.I like it

  • MGM feels like the Walmart of the casinos,but it's clean and there's always something new to see.I like it

  • Rooms greatly affected by corridor noise

  • A fun hotel tp stay at. Rooms are very nice, roomy and well appointed. Bathroom is above average in size; has a combination shower and tub. The pool area is the best in Vegas because of the river walk. It is the best pool feature in town. Others have river walks, but none compare in size to the MGM's. Just a blast to walk/swim around. Large number of palm trees and islands to set up a day camp at the pool. Biggest negative about the MGM is the amount of walking that has to be done to get anywhere. From the elevator to the pool area is a hike....don't forget anything at the room!!

  • In LV 6-18 to 6-24-04. Spent 3 days (6-15 to 6-17) at Edgewater in Laughlin with CA friends, having fun on river with jet ski's, then over to LV for 3 days at Flamingo followed by 3 days at MGM (after our friends left to return home). We stayed in LV 2 years ago at Flamingo where then 18 and 14 year old daughters fell in love with pool complex. We don't gamble a lot, spending mornings at pool, then afternoon napping or sightseeing before heading out to dinner and shows. Spent 3 days at Flamingo, as usual, our stay was nice. Had early dinner at Margaritaville on 6-18 before heading to HOB for Jason Mraz concert. Location and atmosphere are classic JB, food was pretty decent, place was somewhat louder than I expected, hard to have conversation. If you are traveling with teens who want to tan and hang out at pool, I'd recommend Flamingo but having now stayed at MGM for first time this trip, I'd say first option should be to stay at MGM. We upgraded from Grand Room to Bungalow Suite at arrival for added $35 per night. Room was larger, with couch, etc....and very close to elevator but view was terrible and bathroom, though it had two showers, had several missing tiles and was in need of repair.. If had to do over again, probably would not accept upgrade offer unless free. Other than that, our trip was fanastic. The pool was a bit of a walk but not as bad as I'd been led to believe on this site. We rented a cabana for 2 days mid-week, if you can afford the $150, do it, ask for cabana # 9 for good location near restrooms and refreshments and a really great and attentive cabana staff. Lazy River is right there in front of you, no real need to visit other pools, just grab a drink and float around on inner tube. We did make small profit ($100) on the little gambling we did here. Found staff, including dealers, to be friendly. While Flamingo is also wonderful, MGM is now first choice of my family.

  • This is my favorite place to stay in Las Vegas. The service is great, and everything is within reach here. You have a huge pool, tons of shops and restaurants, and a huge casino! And it has a great location! The only down side is the loooong walk from your room to the pool!

  • We were in room 15226. We had a view of San Remo, the Tropicana, Mandalay Bay, and the airport. We really enjoyed this view and would ask for this specific room again. We had a king bed with the couch. I couldn't give the room a 10 because the bed was a little hard. Housekeeping was great, especially iolene. The buffet was good, but I'd have to say that the Tropical Rainforest was my favorite. If you just want dessert, go to the Rainforest for the Volcano. It's brownies, ice cream, hot fudge, whip cream, and more with a sparkler on top. mmmmmm. We got our picture taken with 5 month old lion cub, Sasha. If I go back to Las Vegas I'll either stay at the MGM or the Luxor. The only negative about the MGM was they only serve coke. lol I just went to New York and got a supply.

  • I like to stay here when the room rates are reasonable. The room is about avereage, maybe a little bigger than average, but not much. The beds were pretty comfortable. The service was great. Anytime i asked for something it was delivered promptly. The hotel is very clean especially in such a high traffic area. I would stay here again and recommend it.

  • I didn't have any kind of great expectations from this hotel when I was told by the company that we were going to be staying here. We stayed at a rate of $109 a night (including a Saturday night stay), and it included a $25 room and beverage credit (good for any restaurant/bar in the hotel), as well as a 2 person spa facility pass and 2 free entries into Studio 54. I decided to tip the woman at the front desk during check-in as I feared I may be booked in seemingly dreaded Emerald Tower, this resulted in my receiving a room facing the strip, on a non-smoking floor, with a king bed in the grand tower. Which is exactly what I asked for. Mind you the walk was a bit much from the elevator but it was welcome. However unsure if my tip really bought me anything, when the other 6 who also booked a tthe same time, same account, same duration all had rooms on smoking floors, with parking lot views and double-queens, I realized my tipping had indeed paid off. The room is well appointed, the bathroom is nice and large, the only disappointment really being the very low shower head and the fact the shower and bath are combined. The marble floor, while nice to look at, was quite cold in the mornings to deal with, so it was a bit of a trade off. The color palette used is nice, though the black and white photos from movies from the 40's and 50's seemed out of place in the room even though that sort of thing should be expected in the "MGM" hotel. Maid service was good and they replenished all the toiletries EXCEPT the oatmeal bar of soap from the shower when I decided one day I was going to take it home. Every other piece with only a couple drops out of, were replaced. Odd. This is a large casino, and when I walked through it on my first Visit to vegas, I thought it was unbearable, though having just spent several days there, it really isn't too bad even in the worst (dress) shoes. The blackjack dealers (2) were both great. $5 available in the mornings, and Stand on all 17's in the middle of the table games with a number of 6:5 single deck games. When I decided to try my luck at Craps the boss, bet setters and raker were excellent entertainment. I've never had so much fun loosing money in my life. They really made what started off as a pretty sparse table a great place to be. Shame my luck wasn't any good with the game. The video poker wasn't full pay but close. I wasn't keen on gambling there (due to the meidocre odds) but when I did, it was fun and at the end fo the trip I had broken even, while another in our group was up $400 on just slots. Fun time, I would be glad to stay there again if the decision was made for me, if I had to decide, I would, of course, try to experience another hotel but will have nothing but great things to tell anyone who is planning on their stay there. Pleasantly surprised.

  • We had a great experience in June at the MGM Grand, we stayed at the Grand Tower and is far more better then the Emrald Tower. MGM Grand treated us with a lot of respect and honored every request we could possibly have. It was a long walk to the pool, we were on the 23rd floor, and it was a walk to the pool or the food court. Very nice place, very friendly staff, and it really is the City of Entertainment, it is a city of its own. We really had a great view of the Monte Carlo across from us, Rio, Palms and down the strip to Caesars Palace. You felt like you were on top of the world with the massive windows they have in your room. The room was very well decorated and the bathrooms were very nice. It was worth the 20.00 upgrade a night we had from the Emrald Tower to the Grand Tower. This place, is luxury.

  • The "Hollywood Suites" are spectacular! Huge, well-furnished rooms, with a very classy feel. The Hollywood Suites are at the end of each Grad Tower hallway (read: long walk from the elevator!), but therefore have a TON of windows, both in the bedroom and in the huge living room. The only downside: the tub in the bathroom is pretty small, although there is also a shower stall, so I can't complain too much! My biggest complaint was that all but one of the 5 pools closed at 5pm! FIVE! True, I was there the weekend AFTER Labor Day, but it's still hot! But I will definately be at the MGM Grand again.

  • had troule checking in but, got upgraded to Grand Tower....got a free dinner for 2 at the Studio Cafe' and loved it.....Crab Cakes were out of this world!!!! Yummy.....the people were very nice and friendly.....would stay again.....highly recommed....just have your walking shoes on when staying here....lol....this place is Huge and awesome!!!!

  • I thought the room was small when compared to other rooms at other casinos that I've stayed at. The bathroom was just average and nothing to brag about. The room kind of reminded me of a Days Inn or something like that. The last time I checked out their pool was back when they had a theme park, so back then it had a sandy beach and that sand hurt to walk on. Since then they have changed it and it is much improved. I thought that check-in and check-out were both nice and most of the people were helpful.

  • Have stayed at several hotels and MGM was among my least favorite. Paid extra for a suite facing the strip. The suite was large but was somewhat empty and poorly furnished. ( I think they stole the couch from my old college dorm room.) Long walk through crowds to get anywhere. Staff was quite rude at check in.

  • Too big. Getting around this hotel is like hiking. We had a room on the 20th floor. Nice room but the whole hotel experience was so unfriendly and involved so much walking we have never been back.

  • the room we stayed in was on the 27 floor (grand tower) great view ,great room,great bathroom, was better than i thought glad we upgraded from emerald tower our friends stayed there try for a high floor in emerald if not upgrade to grand tower its well worth the extra . the staff were nice and friendly, casino floor staff never talk never smile ,, they were the only let down with the buffet.

  • My room in the Grand Tower was very nice. Newly refurbished, their 1920's Hollywood theme means some nice deco decor.

  • Hotel was very nice the pool was awsome. staff wasn't very informative.

  • Just been there past month- Great Location. Rooms in Grand tower are great - The Views are awsome & the Bathrooms are really nice.

  • Stayed at MGM (5th time)10/5-8/02. Took our son for his 21st bday and 1st time to LV. We had the smallest room we've ever had at MGM (asked for upgrade, but none were available). The bathroom had 1 sink, and with 3 people that's not enough! The hotel is undergoing major renovations to the Grand Tower elevators and casino floor. A huge inconvenience, in that everyone has to get on the elevators at the same bank (whereas in the past there were 2-3 different banks) and then get off at floors 2, 3 or 4 in order to get on one that would take them to their floor. What a hassle and what a waste of valuable time! Our favorite bar, the Betty Boop, was closed and walled-off for remodeling. We did find our favorite bartender, Al, late one night at one of the other bars in the casino and he told us that the Boop would be back in operation in November and the elevators should be back to normal in early December. We are due to go back in February '03. If the elevator problems are not fixed (surely they will be!), if the Boop has changed too much and if we don't get an upgrade to some kind of suite, we may have to consider staying elsewhere on our next trip. To be fair, we did get our Friday night comped from our Player's Club points and I did hit a Royal Flush at the Show Bar. AND our son was in awe of everything and had a FABULOUS time at Studio 54 on Saturday night. So, in all a good trip. We'll give her another chance.

  • We stayed in a Celebrity Spa Suite and thought it was very nice. The hotel is fun, clean and huge! We found the staff to be very helpful as well.

  • After my first visit to Vegas, I cannot rave enough about the MGM Grand Hotel! The room was immaculate, spacious and the view was spectacular. I enjoyed everything about the hotel especially the service. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. There was so much activity in the hotel around the clock and there was never a dull moment. Even the night club, Studio 54 was energetic and exciting! I've been to a variety of hotels and was thoroughly surprised at how well the hotel is maintained. The place is clean, hospitable and the atmosphere is very much alive!!! I'd recommend the MGM Grand as a first class place to stay and play!

  • When they say Grand they mean huge!!! Be prepared to walk. Half mile to the beautiful pool area; half mile to front of hotel on Strip....then most places to see are a long, hot walk. Very nice rooms and bathrooms, but much too big and not centrally located.

  • I can't believe how some people trash this place. Always book Emerald tower & ask for an upgrade ($20 trick). Never eat there. (breakfast OK) Always ask for a room 5-10 away from the elevators & something facing the strip. Rooms are very nice. How much time are you in your room ? Great place.

  • Its a great stay every time. If you can find your way back to your room!

  • After taking a Cab from the hotel reception to my room, I found that It was pleasent enough (Emerald Tower Room) nothing special, But you pay for what you get, and it was worth the ammount I paid. The hotel is the centre of Vegas, It is well worth a visit.

  • The MGM is the only place we stay when we visit Vegas. We have never been disappointed with our rooms. We have stayed in a spa suite (We loved that room, especially the bathroom), a Grand Tower room and an Emerald Tower room. If you do reserve an Emerald Tower room, try to get upgraded to the Grand Tower.

  • This was our tenth visit to the MGM GRAND and as before it was everything exspected. The staff were friendly, well informed, and always ready to make our stay a pleasant one. We were there during the world trade center disaster and they were most understanding, very patriotic and ready to help in anyway. We will be returning again soon.

  • It is a ok hotel. The worst feature is that it takes 30 minutes to go from the room to the parking lot and vice-versa.

  • This is the best place to stay if you have kids. My kids loved the pool! The housekeeping people were so nice, they even offered to bring an air cleaner when they heard my son had asthma. I was floored! When we go back we are going to MGM Grand again, this time we are getting a suite. Overall, this is the friendliest of the Vegas strip.

  • the rooms were nice not very large the bathrooms were alson not as large as others but still very clean and had everything that you needed.pool looked very nice but did not have time to use it. all the people there were extremely friendly and very helpful not one problem with the property will be back soon!!

  • A wonderful place to be for anyone staying 4 nights or more. In 9 days and 8 nights, We had no negative experirences. Staff was always friendly and at times went out of there way. Did not have to spend money to be treated like royalty. Getting around takes getting used to. Would not be idea for someone staying 2 or 3 nights. If you are a first timer, It's not enough time to experience what you are paying for.

  • Everything at MGM is huge. Too HUGE. It is a long walk from the parking lot to the rooms. You really have to think twice about leaving MGM to go out since it's a 20 - 30 min walk to the car. Next time I plan to stay at a medium size place.

  • Once you get used to the size of the place, the MGM is a good place to stay. Its location is great and they comp slots players decently.

  • I had a great stay at the MGM. It's a big place but they took good care of us. I would go back... The pool is crowded.

  • To be honest I wasn't really looking forward to my stay here because the hotel is so big. I was pleasently surprised that the newly renovated rooms were quite nice. Bathroom was an okay size but the tub was small.

  • everything was perfect as always, march 24-28th 2000, grand tower
