Stayed here Oct. 10-14 -- Thank You TripAdvisor!
Everything went smoothly from check-in until check-out! Wow!
My only complaint is there payment policy for debit cards. I am not credit person, so I felt rather penalized. Specifically, I was not informed about this policy when booking on their website -- if you use your debit card at check-in, you will be required to make a deposit of $100 for each night for incidental coverage. I guess having a fully equipped kitchen, nice furnishings, and high-end electronics doesn't come without some faults. So, remember to bring you credit card!
Other than their preferred payment method problem, check-in and check-out was very fast.
One Bed-room Experience: Anyhoo, the hotel is very nice, just like the comments in good reviews that we have all read on tripadvisor. To summarize this place, it is exactly like the photos! My complaints are about the plasma TV’s. There are only 5 HD channels -- abc, nbc, cbs, pbs, and wb. Also, long distance phone service and pay-per-view did not work. I didn't complain about the latter not working, but I guess that might be because I was using a non-preferred payment method, as mentioned above.
One Bed-room View: Well, this is one topic which I have gotten mixed reviews about from tripadvisor. I stayed on the penthouse level, and the view was nothing special. I was facing the strip, but it was so far away and Planet Hollywood was right in the front. Really, I couldn't see much of the strip, and I don’t understand how any previous guest can say that they had a wonderful view of the strip. But, I had a very nice view of the mountains, and the patio is wonderful regardless of the limited strip view, especially at night time.
MGM Signature Location: The walk to the MGM was surprisingly short! From the Signature, the entrance to the MGM is next to the Spa and the MGM pool entrance, which I thought was quite convenient. But, this is also the rear of the MGM, so if you want to go the buffet that will be at the front. I do understand that they want you to stay on MGM property, and it will feel this way from the start. But, I was ok with this idea, since I rented a car, and I had a good understanding about where and what I wanted to do from previous trips. However, MGM Grand does offer numerous tasty treats. I loved the Grand Wok!
Food Services: I did not try in-suite dining or any of the minor eating establishments in the signature, but I did have 3 meals and one snack at the MGM Grand -- Grand Wok, Grand Buffet, and Grand Cafe. So, the Grand Wok was very tasty and very close to the KA Theater, but the Grand Cafe and Buffet was not very good.
P.S. If you want the best buffet in Vegas, go to the Wynn! I was highly impressed (and yes, it is better than Bellagio's)
Valet: Very fast -- never waited more than 3-4 minutes for my car! Also, they are very helpful with directions and will give you free bottled water, every time before you leave. Also, I tipped the valet every time, when I picked up my car.
Housekeeping: On my first day, I left a $5 tip laying on the bathroom sink counter, just to see what would happen. Wow, I must say this must have been encouraging to the housekeeping staff! They did a very nice job, and the housekeeping person left a specially folded towel on the sink that wrapped my toiletries, as if to say thank you. This seemed to brighten the housekeeping's person day, and it made my day. I suggest you leave a tip on each day too!
MGM shows: KA, I give two thumbs up! Only wished I saw this last, and not first, because it makes other Las Vegas shows less spectacular!
In conclusion, I enjoyed the MGM Signature! When you spend hours on the strip in crowds, walking among the masses, immersed in it’s sights and sounds, it feels really good to come back to a quiet, private hotel. I suggest you all try this experience! Go to the MGM Signature and be treated as an individual again.
