This trip was to take my mom to see Tom Jones. Mom is 6th stage alzheimers and she used to love Tom. Wife also went.
Booked through same host I used in 2004. His assistant, Kim Soares, gave me excellent service. Because it was a special trip for mom, she comped the room and offered a free upgrade upon arrival. She also comped the Tom Jones tickets, and the wheelchair.
When we arrived at the front desk, check in person offered us the Marquee Suite for $150 a night! SCORE! This suite goes for $659 and has over 1500sf with 2 bedrooms. This Suite sits at the end of hallways with a 180 degree view. We had south facing views, from the airport all the way to the Monte Carlo. Here are pics:

We ate at Wolfgang Pucks, Emerils, and the Grand Wok. Service was fantastic at all 3. Emeril's and Pucks have 2 bus persons, along with waiters. Woman at Grand Wok was so good, she needed no help! Food was delicious!!!!!!

Tom Jones still has it people! His voice was strong, and the ladies still throw underware on the stage!!!! Great show!
We also saw Spamalot, and yes, it's hilarious!
MGM had replaced the casino carpet a couple of months earlier. Looked fresh and clean. Room beds are new, with new comforters, and pillows. Firm pillows on the bed, softer ones in closet.
MGM is schedule for room makeovers in early 2008. West Wing, Sky Lofts, and The Signature Towers have been completed as of now.
Cocktail service for me was excellent. I tip $5 for 2 Tall Long Islands, and whatever my wife wants. I never went dry this whole trip.
Monorail starts here and for me is convenient. Summer special has 24 hour passes at $8. Used this for my June trip and after 4 trips, it came to $2 a ride! SCORE!
MGM is one of the largest hotels in the world. Know this if you want a smaller hotel. Hallways are very long. But all of Vegas is huge, so what's different about inside the MGM? It's ALL air condtioned!!!
Overall GREAT experience!
