MGM Grand Hotel & Casino

The MGM is a very convenient place to stay. The rooms are very modern and luxurious. Monorail is out back

The hotel was clean, but our queen view room was a view of the airport. The pillows are very firm, feather pillows and can give you a "kink" from sleeping. The rooms are not soundproof, and we had a variety of people next to us at different times throughout the week; rowdy crowds, laughing kids...etc. and you can hear EVERYTHING! The hotel was very smoky, and it was difficult to breathe, even in the non-smoking rooms. The pools were great, but, there seemed to be a much younger crowd and it became inappropriate and obnoxious at times. If you want a seat at the Back Lot, (Lazy river) get there before they open!! Seats go fast! Due to construction the only way to get to the strip takes FOREVER from your room, and you have to walk through the entire smoke filled casino on the way! Short walks from the hotel by the Coke Bottle, is a convenience store with a large variety of snack foods for the pool as well. We were there for a week and tired of the food court in the hotel. Had several nice dinners at the hotel and the food was great! Not a bad stay, just wasn't totally appropriate for a family trip. As a couple or single, you would totally enjoy!

I was expecting the MGM to be really nice. We got stuck in a business type room with no mini fridge for 4 nights. The room had one small window and only two side table lamps. The floor lamp was burnt out, so the lighting was horrible to her ready in. House keeping the first day knocked on our door at 7:45am!!!! It's Vegas,people are sleeping at 7:45 am because we didn't go to sleep until 7 am! Then the next two days housekeeping never came. The TV signal was awful. The TV kept shutting on and off. Then on one of the days a water pipe broke in the tower we stayed in so we couldn't take a shower for hours. When we called to find out why the water was working we didn't even get an apology or any other thing comped for the inconvience. Yes, there are beautiful things about this property. I just expected more from my stay

The Hotel is huge loads of free drinks & good location near to NY NY for great shows in either hotel

I felt like their wasn't a person working at this hotel that knew the word no. Everything I asked the answer was responsive, insightful, with details I didn't think to ask about. The answer was always yes sir. I felt like I spent twice as much money on my room. I've stayed at some of the cheaper places on the strip and for the extra pretty small amount over 5 days I spent to stay at MGM it was well worth it. When I go back it's going to be hard not to stay here. The pools are also very nice, though I wish the lazy river were open the whole time, it was closed three days we were there because it was later March and not in peak pool season apparently. Coming from Ohio it was peak pool season for me! I also wish they just had a refrigerater in the room. I have no use for a mini bar. I'm not paying crazy prices for bottles of whatever that you have no idea how long have been in there. I'm sure some people use it, so I understand why they have it. You can buy a fridge for $35 a day, which seemed a little steeep to me. I tried to throw the maid staff $40 to see if they could just slip one in to me and not charge me, which I have done at much less organized hotels and it has usually worked. Speaking of organized, these guys were just on their game. Over 5,000 guests and these guys make you feeel like you are the only one staying there. Highly recommended, especially for the price.

The river makes me happy.. its the reason we stay MGM

Our room was pretty standard to most other hotels. The distance we had to walk from the lobby, elevators and casino was pretty far. The staff at the Front Desk were excellent.

We were here 4 nights. Our room was never made up before 4 in the afternoon. I know it is necessary to turn rooms over for arriving guests but even more important is to take care of guests you have to make them return in the future. The rooms were very noisy, all of the drunken commotion in the halls feeds right into the rooms. The smoke in the casino area is gagging. The television will not work more than 5 minutes without giving a "signal lost " message. Not what I expect from a destination resort.

We were upgraded and got for four persons (family) a very fancy suite. (We would"t go out of our room...) and it was very quiet. The only point which was disturbing us, was that the stuff came in our room. They knocked at the door ,but came in in the same second without waiting a while. This was more than one time! The location was great, the valet parking (we didm"t know) was very comfortable! We rented a car and drove to the Hoover Dam, but the real awesome ride was to the "golden canyon" and to the "death valley", It isn"t so far away from LV . We had four amazing days and a lot of fun!

My husband and I chose to stay at the MGM Grand on a recent couples trip to Vegas and have no regrets. While the themed casinos/hotels have the possibility to transport you to another place, the pools at MGM is incomparable. The Backlot River is a lazy river that provides the best people-watching and relaxation that gives the feel of a Caribbean resort -- the vacation I initially thought I wanted. Be sure to call ahead though to make sure the river is open - otherwise you'll be stuck at one of their regular pools. Great time, all of the food and shopping you need, but still close enough a walk to check out everything Vegas has to offer. Have fun!
