My husband and i just came back from Vegas. We stayed at the Signature at MGM Grand Tower 3. Please if you book this hotel book it thru vrbo.com. We rented a junior suite from Ani she was very-very helpful and easy to deal with you can use pay-pal to pay for the room.(www.vrbo.com/159268) the suite was awesome on the 26th floor with a great view of the mountains and the MGM pools. The lobby's are gorgeous, all the 3 Towers they're differently desined. My favourite was Tower 2 with the red roses. The pools are great not crowded at all ( we could see the lazy river and the wet republic at the MGM from our room..wow i never saw that many people around pools..) and the best that water is salty just like in the ocean. It's close to the strip but away from the noise.

It was our second multiple stop in U.S after spending 5 nights in San Francisco. Paid $100 a night plus $25 a night resort fee. Excellent value for the standard of accommodation. We had junior suite. Room was every bit as good as advertised on their site. There are 3 towers which make up the Signature it is much more tranquil and less hectic than the casino hotels we saw but is still within walking distance of the strip. We were in Tower 3 which is furthest from the strip. Concierge and Starbucks located in Tower 1. Each Tower has its own pool but Tower 3's is shut during the week. Is slightly longer walk from Tower 3 but no more than about 5 minutes or so and all through air conditioned walkways. Tower 3 is also slightly newer so I imagine the rooms might have less wear. For breakfast we simply bought couple of items from supermarket and ate in the room. The room came with plates, cutlery and basic cooking utensils. Only ate in for breakfast. Maid service was very good, you need to press button near the entrance door of the room that your room is ready to be made up otherwise the maid may not come. This service is included in the resort fee. We used pools at MGM as there were more bars and snack bars here. Receptionist on arrival was extremely helpful she explained MGM own many of the casinos on the strip which meant that we could charge things to our room in other casinos.

Went to Phantom of the Opera was great. Not worth paying for premium tickets. We sat in side seats and had great view. Would recommend revolving restaurant at the Stratosphere for evening meal. We went one evening to go up the tower, there was quite a big queue and it cost about $15-20 each so decided to go to the restaurant. There was no queue and we were able to get a late reservation. It is quite expensive was about $160 for two but when you take off the fee to go up the tower it works out pretty good. Was very romantic setting in the evening. The food was a very good standard and eating in restaurant entitles you to free access to the observation decks.

If you _must_ go to Vegas this would seem to be a good place to stay. No casino, no hookers in the hallways.

Bland but very comfortable, desk staff very very good.

We booked two junior suites for a join bachelor(ette) party and this hotel made the trip. the rooms are a good size and since we had 5 people in each room it worked out perfectly. It's located just off the strip which is nice when you want to get away from the seedyness but it's not so far you feel disconnected. It's a cheap cab ride to the clubs/casinos. You have access to all the pools in the MGM and all of them are awesome. This will always be my hotel of choice in Vegas
