Lviing in the midwest does not offer too many opportunities like this, so we went ahead and did it while we waited for our room to be ready. It was a neat experience, but the show was a real stinker. I guess that is why they have people review it first. more

Ok, yes there is lots of people working for them in the hotel handing out tickets to join the study group, but I think this is because everyone thinks its time share or a waste of time! Well, If you have an hour or so to spare and looking for something intresting and gettting paid to boot, this is well... more

We initially avoided the Television Preview greeters at the entrance to the MGM Grand that were handing out free tickets (so used to avoiding the timeshare sales people) but eventually decided to check out the Television Preview.

I thought it would be fun for my mom, who had never done this before, but I really wish I... more

For the time spent, you are given a gift certificate for $10 in the gift shop which was lacking in variety. The $10 doesn't touch the actual cost of the gift shop items. This is not suitable for... more

If you have an hour to spare away from the casino floor at the MGM Grand, take a long stroll back towards the pool along their Studio Walk. At the end of the shops you'll find MGM's Television City where you can get FREE tickets to watch a pilot TV show AND give your opinions and review the show you... more
