MGM Grand - The Real Deal :
If you like children, shopping malls and monstrous structures then the MGM Grand is for you. The casino is crowded, huge and nearly impossible to walk through. Not one of our favorites.
However, they do offer Casino'ssage - a mobile masseuse who will come to your table and give you a massage for a nominal fee.
MGM Grand History
The MGM Grand and its 120,000,000 rooms make it the biggest hotel in the universe. Ok so its not that big, but it is huge. The MGM Grand originally was located where Ballys is now, but shortly after the largest hotel fire ever killed tons of people, Kirk Kerkorian took the name and moved into a megaplex at the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd. The new MGM Grand hosts top notch entertainment, sporting events, concerts and more. We feel a bit lost inside of the place though - it reminds us of a giant shopping mall with a casino in the food court.
Location of MGM Grand:
The MGM is down at the south end of The Strip. Another one of those casinos that take forever to get to from the street. You can cruise over to New York New York, Excalibur or the Luxor (using the nifty street bridges). Or simply hop on the monorail to visit Bally's (and neighbors) or all the way out to the Hilton and Convention Center.

They have a Starbucks
The Rooms at MGM Grand
The MGM Grand has the most rooms in all of Vegas - over 5,000. They have so many towers in there, it is easy to get lost. Prepare yourself for a nice long walk to your room, unless you get lucky (or complain-ey) and score a room close to the elevators. Massive. Rooms are done up with B&W portraits of movie stars from the golden age. Oh, right! MGM started out as a movie studio long before getting into the gaming business. Ms. Blur got Judy Garland watching over her on her last visit there. $139 - $259.
Restaurants at MGM Grand
You won't starve should you be stranded here. MGM Grand has lured tons of celebrity chefs to come cook for you. See for yourself if it tastes as good as it looks on TV. Two Joel Robuchon joints (Joel Robuchon and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon) TWO Michael Mina joints (Nob Hill Tavern and SeaBlue) Top Chef honcho Tom Colicchio's uber-yummy CraftSteak, Emeril Lagasse's Emeril's joint, plus Japanese cuisine at Shibuya, Canton/Shanghaiese cuisine at Pearl, traditional Mexican food at Diego and Italian at FiAMMA Trattoria & Bar.
For quick eats there is the belchtastic Rainforest Cafe, the sloppylicious Stage Deli (get the pastrami!) 'wichcraft for sammitches, Cabana Grille and the MGM Grand Buffet. There are about 5 other restaurants we havent even mentioned - lots of options, food is great at MGM Grand, including the Nathan's Famous.
MGM Grand Tips
As much as we dislike caged animals, we can't resist the Lion Habitat. When there are lion cubs, photo ops are available. One day we plan to try this to cop a feel. As far as big name performances, MGM Grand Garden Arena always books the biggest and best acts, from AC/DC to ZZ Top to big name comedians and the occasional fisticuffs.

What was for the longest time the largest resort in the world is still the most breathtaking resort on the East Strip. I spent $1 billion 15 years ago on this joint. Build it today and see how much you'll spend on it. The only Michelin 3-star rated restaurant in Las Vegas is here (Joel Robuchon). The most amazing high-roller suites are here (Skylofts). Everything spectacular is here.

i don't care how old it is or that it takes me 10 mins to walk from one area to another (...walking never fucking killed anybody, and i'm used to it living in NYC)---this is one of the best all-around resorts in town. MGM FTW.

Everytime I go to the MGM drunk which is at least twice a year, I ALWAYS GET LOST, and whats worse is I LOVE IT! Something about walking around there not knowing where I'm going just makes me feel good. Also get free drinks there without gambling. Cocktail waitresses always have too many drinks and sections SO BIG takes an hour for her to return, works out for me, just look for the LOST COCKTAIL WAITRESS!! I also love the LION out front.

Love, love, love the casino at the MGM! Drink service is quick and friendly. Treat those girls right and they'll take excellent care of you. Cage personnel were pleasant and quick with a joke. Although Cirque isn't really my thing, I enjoyed Ka during my trip way back in good old 2005. The only complaint I have would be that the folks at the MGM have mastered the labyrinthine casino. You'll be dizzy by the time you find your way out! Although with the friendly staff and the luck at the tables, who would want to leave?

This Grand Ol' Dame popped my Vegas cherry. My jaw dropped as soon as I walked into the huge, gorgeous lobby and I have been coming back to Vegas twice a year ever since. Anxious to see the renovated rooms. Nice selection of restaurants. Emeril's New Orleans Fish House has never disappointed us. The deli near the sports book is a hidden gem. The casino is massive and offers something for everyone, including an old 25-cent mechanical horse race ... Classic!

Great room (the West Wing), home of my fave steak house - Craftsteak, but wow it is long walk anywhere, thankfully they have carefully put bars where ever you may get thirsty.

MGM grows on me more as I stay at other resorts, there is just something being done right here and I can't put my finger on it, it's a huge mass of restaurants, casino floor, and entertainment, but somehow it all works.
The restaurant offerings are top notch and the casino floor is big enough for you to find an isolated spot if you want even as the clubs are fueling up and the floor has 10k people on it.
In many ways MGM is the Vegas that everyone markets, but like the Wizard of Oz once you stay here, it's easy to see behind the curtain and see that the marketing hype is just that, which lets you enjoy the place for what it is, and escape from the normal.

This place is on my list because of the sheer size of her. I always get a confidence boost while walking through this labyrinth because my friends can't believe I know where I'm going. The rooms could use an update, or at least the one I had during CES 09 needed one.

Stayed at the Signature at MGM for our honeymoon. It was the perfect romantic location and the room is still our favorite- ever. It was just far enough away to feel secluded but close enough to feel part of the MGM action. MGM is host to many of our favorite restaurants and our favorite show- KA.

I prepared myself for a long wait at check-in, but was lucky enough to be only 15minutes and this was at 3pm. Stayed in the Celebrity Spa room, which we got for a steal. We had no problems with noise (thank goodness). The walk from the elevator was a trek, but not enough to get too pissed at. Room was clean and housekeeping always kept things nice. The ONLY problem was the stupid shower head. The water pressure was ridiculous, especially if you have princess and the pea skin, which I do. So I couldn't take long showers. The large jacuzzi made up for it :-)

Just stayed here to take advantage of a comp and I was curious to see what the rooms looked like. All I really did was drop the kids off, but the bed felt real comfortable and it didn't squeek when I jumped on the bed. This joint is huge but for a place soo big the casino seemed small. The pool is way the hell out in the back of the property. The green exterior light shines into the room at night.

This place really is grand... And sometimes it's great, while other times it's not. The Signature suites are AWESOME... But the standard rooms? Not so much. L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon: AWESOME! Grand Wok and Sushi Bar? FAIL. Casino? Depends on which part you're gambling in.There's plenty of variety here. You'll probably find something you'll like at MGM Grand. I have. We just have to explore and learn.

While it skews a little too young for me (and there's a little too much walking here), I love the variety of restaurants, the large number of pools to choose from, and the lion habitat.

I think I finally have this place figured out..just follow the pattern of the carpet to where you need to be..worked for me anyway..
The MGM has some of the most helpful and pleasant staff members I've dealt with in Las Vegas..from checkout to storing bags, you get a smile and a "have a good trip home"..
Rooms are well appointed and very clean..casino is huge..I've not won more than a few dollars here..but there is decent video poker if you have the time to look for it..

Stayed here in Jan 09. The room was nice and clean. The casino is also very nice. Staff is friendly as well. I'd stay here again if I didn't play so much on Harrah's Total Rewards now...

First ever trip to Vegas stayed here. Had a Bungelow room suite and it was the best. Loved how big the casino, hotel, was.... and their sports book is great. Perfect location on the South of the strip, and what else is better then the sigma derby horse racing game. I've lost a fair share amount of quarter's there. 2-5 2-5 !

MGM Grand deserves the 5 dice for great food, a massive casino, great restaurants (regardless of where you stay, don't miss Craftsteak, aka Earth's Greatest Steakhouse), a great pool area (including Wet Republic, the original and best pool club) and okay rooms. But if you're willing/able to shell out for a Skyloft, take the express right up to 6 dice and beyond, cause the Skylofts are the most awesome rooms you will ever stay in (two words: POOL TABLE). I can't fathom paying up for a Wynn Salon Suite, which I'm sure is lovely but at the end of the day is just a big room in a fancy hotel, when you could do a Skyloft instead and get the multi-story area and the multiple sitting rooms and the amazing everything.

a little bit on the older side now. like if a beauty queen went from miss america to becoming a spokemodel at a textiles convention in peoria. rooms are showing their wear and tear. ridiculously long hallways. if money is no object get the skyloft. it's worth it. terrace suites aren't bad either, especially having an 800 sq ft balcony with a hot tub overlooking the strip. but when one is paying $1000 a night, one assumes that it would have updated elctronics. jus sayin'.

It's a big green monster, but I love the art deco statues and other touches inside. Too bad it's taken a turn for the trendy in recent years, plopping a new sports book and waiters-dance-on-the-tables club in the middle of what used to be a tastefully-decorated gambling hall. Still, the newer East Wing suites are decked out in a retro 60s modern style that I warmed to after a while. If only they weren't a nautical mile from any entrance or exit.

The MGM Grand has, literally, something for everybody. This is both its curse and its blessing. This place is insanely huge; finding the good blackjack tables (Pit 17, near Tabu!) was anything but easy. But they have liberal rules S17 at less than $25, friendly pit crew, surprisingly fast drink waitresses, and amazing restaurants. Emerils, L'atelier de Joel Robouchon and Craftsteak are all very damn good. Crazy Horse is a very talented, artistic burlesque too. Casino is in need of an update but this place really is great.

A fun place to party. MGM's Lazy River Pool is the best free pool party in Las Vegas; I've seen many hilarious bachelor / bachelorette parties here. KA is a good show. The stage is amazing and the performers are incredible athletes. CSI Experience is fun. MGM Grand has some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. Joel Robuchon is the best of the best. Guest rooms are undergoing renovation this year, and all rooms should look new in 2012.

Amazing restaurant selection. Kind of a pain to get from the casino to the rooms (lots of walking), but that is a minor detail. Good vibe.

I won a monster $350 hand-pay jackpot on a Piggy Bankin' slot machine here, so this place will always hold fond memories for me. Plus, I got propositioned by a hooker who was wearing a mens Fruit of the Loom v-neck undershirt as her top. That was quite a night.

Have stayed here more times than any other place on the strip. Their combination of affordable rates amenities and property makes it one of the best values on the strip. Yes, it is huge. Yes, there are a lot of people there. But you would be hard pressed to find a resort on the strip where you can get more bang for your buck. Plus, the revamped MLife player card seems to be a big improvement over their previous system.

I used to stay there when they had the kid's club. but they went so upscale and yet they have many gangs around. It's a pity. They have great food, an odd Cirque shows, and they have OK rooms. It's nothing special, but I've stayed there almost every time.
