Vegas Weekend Getaway

We got great deals from Travelocity: 4 nights at the MGM grand West wing rooms and round trip flights from Greensboro, NC for less than $*/ per person.
The rooms: We stayed at the MGM Grand West Wing. The rooms are very nice. Marble floors in the bathrooms, bathroom mirror with a TV (very cool) and we were on the 11th floor (14 floors total) with a great view of the southern part of the strip. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The Casino is a maze. You must wander through the casino to get to your room. Once you are familiar with the building you can by pass a lot of the casino by getting to the nearest elevator and going to your floor then walking through the long halls (grand towers and west wing do connect) of the building. It is worth learning this, because wandering through the crowded casino gets annoying eventually.
Gambling: Don?t get fooled for the $* minimum bet gig. They set the tables at $10 minimum to try to get you to bet more (and hopefully lose more, quicker). I like to play blackjack, but I found it difficult to find a $* table in the casino. If you go to Excalibur it is very easy to find $5.00 tables (blackjack, roulette, craps, etc). If you walk around most of the time the $10 tables will be empty. Go up to the dealer and ask if there are any $*.00 tables open. If he says no, ask him if he knows of another casino that has $*.00 blackjack. Often times the dealer will then ask the pit boss if you can play for $*, and the pit boss always says yes!, because they don?t want you leaving.

The MGM was all that was expected. Stayed in the West Wing which was a very long walk from the parking garage and front desk. The hotel had a lazy river where you could just sit on a tube and relax. The pool area was very well kept as was the room. The bed was very comfortable and loaded with down pillows and matress covers which causes you to sink in comfort. Overall the bathroom and room was very non traditional and contemporary. Must see the show KA of Cirque Du Soleil-excellent. The hotel is convieniently connected to 3 other casinos. MGM has loads of entertainment. We would stay at MGM again.

This hotel was really nice but extremely big. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. There was always a party going on at the clubs but the lines were long.

Terrible MGM

If I wanted such a poor room, poor attitude and poor service, I could have booked a room at some no-name hotel on the way to Las Vegas, but no, it was top dollar at the MGM. I should have stayed at TheHotel at Mandalay Bay. If you like robotic employees repeating some nonsensical reason why the hotel cannot make some minor accomodation, and your every request, comment or complant being entered into their computer database like the former Soviet Union, then tthe MGM is the place for you. It's no wonder they hurting for business. And trying to hype some loser boxing match that no one will ever remeber anyway? Pathetic.

This was my first visit to Las Vegas. My husband and myself had a great time at the MGM Grand. The location is very close to the airport. We did check in at the airport and we took a shuttle. Our baggage was delivered straight to our room. Check in time is 3pm but our room was ready earlier. There are 5 pools open from 7am to 8pm and the atmosphere is one of a kind. There is dining opportunities for every budget. The Grand Buffet is really grand with nice ambience and a huge variety of delicious meals. I did enjoy the seafood a lot. We stayed 4 nights and we used monorail service to go visit other Las Vegas hotels. Rooms were clean and our maid fixed our bed every day. The staff was very nice and I really recommend MGM Grand to everyone. It was just perfect.
