I cant imagine anywhere better to stay in Las Vegas!
It was beautiful.
We checked in at the airport, so on arrival ( very close to airport by the way!!) we could go straight to our room.
Seperate lifts to sections of the multiple storeys. Never had to wait for lifts (big bug bear of mine!!)
The room was big, two massive beds, and loads of room for an extra that we ordered.
Blackout curtains, quiet,
We viewed out the back - kind of towards the airport and Hooters. Good view into the distance and amazing sunrise when the jetlag got the better of me.
Beutiful pillows and duvets. I would have been happy to stay in the room....
Until I ventured out. Wow! Im not a gambler...so you may wonder what I was doing in Vegas!!!
At the MGM there are multiple bars, clubs, restuarants, a sporting arena as well as enough gambling bits to amuse for days! Food wise there is rainforst cafe among others such serving asian foods, doughnuts and milkshakes and mcdoanlds!
And the lions of course. The MGM lions. Now Ive seen wild lions, but these still amazed me. Beautiful and clearly well looked after.

MGM is at the end of the strip...but the better end so no worries there! And thats if you even bother to leave the hotel
STAY HERE!!!!

Oh yep there is a swimming pool but I never made it that far!!

I usually avoid mega-hotels in favor of smaller ones, but the MGM Grand changed my opinion. The room was large, spacious, and clean as a whistle - as was every inch of the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay there immensely! The only things that would have made it better would have been free wifi and a coffeemaker.

Pros: Nice Rooms, Great Beds, Very Helpful Staff, Good Location, excellent price, quick trip to/from the airport.
Cons: Charge for EVERYTHING (like every other hotel in LV) and morning coffee could be 15-20 minutes away (none in room).

Our biggest problem with the hotel, however, was that -- after 1:00pm or so -- it turns into a big, green version of Spring Break at Daytona and it continues until 5 in the morning. The beautiful pool complex just turns into one huge druken orgy and the yelling and screaming down the hallways at all hours of the night (and morning) is awful. The whole place feels like Myrtle Beach. It seems as though the drinking age throughout the property is 17.

Don't get me wrong....it is a great hotel. But if you like your environment a little less rowdy and little more controlled, you should be looking at the Venitian, Mandelay Bay, or Bellagio (more expensive, but probably a little more sedate).

I reviewed this hotel last year....and loved it. Went back this year...and well...not so much. Check in took FOREVER and the lady was not very friendly. They stuck us in the West Wing which I had specifically asked not to be in. It was a handicapped room too....shower water went all the way out into the entire bathroom because it was a flat floor for a handicap person. Called the front desk and told them this was not what we had wanted and they told us we could change in the morning. Listened to the West Wing bar music thumping all night long. Called the desk in the morning and was told we would have to wait until noon...then 3:00....then 6:00. Finally got a new room that evening in the main part of the building. It was better (bigger)...but old and worn. View was pretty nice. Check out also took forever. Asked the lady to please print out our boarding passes and she was not able to figure it out...so had to use the computer in the lobby for $5.00 a minute to do it ourselves. Was just disappointed this time after our first impression had been so good. Will not stay here again.
