This is perhaps the best hotel experience you can buy in Vegas, notwithstanding the fantasy bungalows and villas that casino hotels reserve just for the high-rollers.
We've stayed at the Four Seasons, Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn and THEHotel, and the Skylofts blow each one of those out of the water.
We stayed in a a 1 bedroom Skyloft before Christmas, and it was simply amazing. It starts out with getting picked up in a Maybach. That's probably the nicest car in the world, arguably nicer than the Rolls-Royce Phantom, which we also took from another hotel. The ride is only 10 minutes, but it sets the tone for the rest of your stay.
Once you arrive at the MGM, your concierge will be waiting for you downstairs in the driveway. You are then personally escorted through the MGM lobby, into the VIP area, and then into private elevators just for Skylofts guests and VIPs.
The Skylofts are on the Penthouse floors of the MGM. Why I say "floors" is because each Skyloft is a duplex! Our 1 bedroom was already huge at 1,500 square feet, but because the living room ceiling is basically two floors, the whole feeling is like an atrium, which makes the room feel even bigger. I'm talking about a 30 foot high glass window overlooking the Strip. Ridiculous.
In the room there are too many amenities to mention. B&O plasma and sound system controlled by a Crestron remote that controls EVERYTHING. Bring your iPod since there is an iPod dock on one of the walls which allows the Crestron remote to read off all your songs and play your iPod through the B&O system!
This remote also controls all the lighting and even two sets of blinds/curtains for the living room window. There's a Crestron remote in the upstairs living room too that has all these functions.
Besides the B&O plasma, there are a total of 5 flatscreen TVs in the room. Yes, that many. A HDTV LCD in the bedroom, another one downstairs in the 6 seat dining room, and two in the upstairs bathroom, by the bath and IN THE MIRROR. Not only that, but besides having hundreds of channels including HD, ALL PAY-PER-VIEW MOVIES ARE FREE! Yes, even adult movies...everything.
Also free are snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. Yes, everything except the alcohol in the mini-bar are complimentary. This includes the espresso/cappuccino machine in which there are 4 types of coffee beans in jars for your choosing, all free, which are ground up fresh in the coffee machine and made all with the touch of a button.
That's not all - the shower, which is bigger than most hotel bathrooms, is also a steam room! Yes, no joke, it's like your own personal sauna with a seat as well. What's more, there is a glass wall in the shower which looks into the staircase of the loft, and then onto the Vegas strip! Yes, you can have an amazing view of the strip while you are taking your shower. Ridiculous.
There's also a huge long walk-in closet that could probably fit in your entire wardrobe from home, and then some. The bed itself is amazing, as I remember, Frette linens and one of the softest hotel mattresses I have ever slept on.
But besides the amazing room, what really sets Skylofts apart is the concierge. You would not be getting the full Skylofts experience if you don't utilize the concierge. By this, I mean they can get you anything. Last-minute restaurant reservations, awesome seats at any show, and VIP passes to any club. We partied up bigtime due to it being so hassle-free with the concierge at your fingertips. If we didn't have that, there's no way we could have just walked into all those clubs with lines, or gotten amazing seats to sold-out shows. Especially if the show is in one of the MGM-Mirage hotels, which seems to be half the strip nowadays.
Despite me starting out this review by saying Skylofts is second only to the the fantasy bungalows and villas like the Mansion at MGM, our concierge told us that the week before our stay, the biggest celebrities in the world including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attending the Mayweather-Hatton fight all choose to stay at the Skylofts over the Mansion, as did both Hatton and Mayweather. So that tells you something. If you are interested in seeing what the Mansion is all about, Skylofts residents can have their breakfast at the Mansion dining room. We did this one morning - very expensive, but worth it! We were the only ones in the room and the breakfast was phenomenal! However, the decor is much more traditional luxury style, which is why younger folks and celebrities might prefer the Skylofts, which is very modern and very chic.
If you can afford it, definitely make your next Vegas stay at the Skylofts. It's living about as large as you can in Vegas, and don't forget to hit up the Skylofts concierge to set up everything for you, including shows, restaurants and clubs.
