- Location – Having been to Vegas several times before, location is indeed everything since everything else is so far away! MGC has a great location right next to Planet Hollywood (going by the lower case ‘ph’) which is almost done with the redecorating from the old Aladdin although the mall part still needs much work. There was no trouble getting a cab (my preferred means of transit) which was a big plus over other non-casino lodging. I could also walk to MGM but it was quite a walk and past some of the cheap trinket shops and a 24 hr Walgreens (also nice to have close by).
- Room – First let me say that while I knew in advance that this was a timeshare/suite hotel, that did not prepare me for the size of the room. It was quite spacious! Fully stocked kitchen (I don’t cook in Vegas when Chef Puck has so many choices for me!) along with a washer/dryer unit in the closet. King bed was very comfy. Double shower heads were fantastic and water pressure was good. Soaking tub was a great option on the last night when I wanted to wash all the Vegas dust off and prepare to return to the “real” world. There was some plumbing noise and the AC unit was louder than most. The outside of the windows were really dirty because of the construction outside. The windows blocked most of the construction noise from the ph tower that was being erected not 250 feet from my room!
- Service – I only had my room cleaned once while I was there. Standard care, nothing extraordinary. The valets and bellmen were all really friendly and appreciated being tipped (who doesn’t) but weren’t as pushy as some can be in sin city!
- “timeshare” – I thought I was going to be overwhelmed with pushy sales people trying to get me to “take the tour” and “experience the difference of ownership” but that just didn’t happen. I was offered to come to one meeting and that was it. The staff never asked me again and I was treated no differently than anyone else in the place. Although there was an owners’ lounge which I did not try to use…they need their perks!
- The Roof – This is only place I have stayed in Vegas to date that offered guests access to the roof. I enjoyed this and would consider it a true plus to staying here. There is something about getting a panoramic view of the strip that gives it a whole different appearance (see photos).
