People under age 21, Children.

We don't mind you bringing your children in the Casino, but they are just to walk through! The Casino is where all the slot machines, and gaming tables are! Security and all employees will enforce this because we could lose our Gaming Licence, Get a Fine as well as the person allowing the person under 21 to be in the Casino area! So don't get mad if you are asked to bring your minors out of the Casino area. THE CASINO IS FOR GAMBALING AND DRINKING AND HAVING FUN FOR ADULTS! If you have just turned 21, don't get mad if you are asked for I.D. or Passport. We can have you removed from the Casino Area if you are not nice and comply with us. If you have fake I.D. we will know! Just like C.S. I. we have special machines that can verify if it is real or fake and we will have you arrestedif it's fake and call your Mommy or Daddy! Sorry no "Guards" here only Security! The main thing is for you to have fun, make noise, win money, but not act like you think you know everything and think your tuff or your daddy is a lawyer! So HAVE FUN!

The largest hotel in Vegas!

The first thing we thought when we booked up to stay here was "are we going to find our way around?". We'd read reviews about people complaining that the hotel was just *too* big but luckily we didn't have that problem. Everything in the MGM Grand is pretty well sign posted so we had no troubles finding our way around at all. We stayed in the West Wing and the room was lovely and modern. The hotel has everything from a Lion Habitat to a McDonalds to a wedding chapel to 3 starbucks.

Everything was top notch, the only thing I would complain about (which is the same for everywhere on the strip) was the air conditioning was far too cold!

Unique Quality: Lion Habitat - Very unique. They rotate the lions every few hours so you get to see a variety of behaviour plus it would be cruel if they didn't. We frequently had to walk past the lions to get out of the hotel so we saw quite a few in our time there but sadly no cubs!

Studio 54 - Was good, especially if you like RnB music. The nightclub wasn't as extravagant as I was expecting. We went on a Thursday night and barely had to queue! We were also really dressed up but I saw people in there wearing jeans and flipflops. I would go back to Studio 54 if it was local to me but if I was to go back to Vegas I would try somewhere else.

KA theatre - We saw the Cirque du Soleil on our last night. Seeing a show in Vegas is a must and I would strongly recommend KA. Be warned - take a cardigan with you because the air conditioning was far too cold!

TV city - If you want to have a little sit down visit CBS television city. You get to watch a pilot episode of a tv show and give your opinions on it. Sure you didn't come all the way to Vegas to watch tv but its a unique idea if you want a little rest after trekking about the strip.

West Wing bar - Very chilled. Fabulous chairs. Slightly pricey.

Pool - The pool is great. We only went to the pool twice but had no problems getting a sunlounger (mainly because the MGM has more than one pool). The best one was the lazy river which you can either bob around by yourself or hire a rubber ring.

Great First Trip Hotel

We actually planned on staying at the Palms, but waited to long to book the room and realized the MGM was half as expensive so we went with it. We got a basic room with two queen beds, and they were probably the best hotel beds I've ever slept on. We booked three nights, one including Halloween, and it ran us $200 a night. One thing I had to get use to was the lack of amenities in the hotel, but it's probably like that throughout Vegas. The cable had no movie channels (they prob don't want you sitting in the room, they want you gambling), there was no fridge or microwave, etc. Other than that, it was a great room, and seeing as though the only time I spent in it was to sleep all day recovering from the nights before, it was definately sufficiant. The service was top notch, the resteraunts good, and the casino was decent. The thing I liked most was it didn't have a lot going on, so it made you want to get out and see the strip, so it was a great first Vegas hotel for me.

Unique Quality: I didn't see the pool, and I'm kicking myself now. With all the beautiful women in Vegas, I don't know why I didn't go down there and people watch. I did sleep during most daylight hours, so that had something to do with it. However, the one thing that really stands out in the MGM is the live lions. It has a lion habitat that is definately worth seeing. The Rainforest Cafe was pretty neat also, and there were some great shows going on that unfortunately I didn't have time to see.

Mgm Grand Hotel & Casino

The hotel is built in mid 1990's after the original one was burned in late 80's.

The MGM is currently (by Nov. 2007) the largest casino hotel in Las Vegas, 5000+ rooms.

Standard room is big, however, decoration looks a bit old fashioned. No fridge in the room. Safer, hair dyer are all available.

Unique Quality: Have some best theaters in town, e.g., KA theater of Cirque de Sollie. Crazy horse, Hollywood theater, and coolest bars/night club, e.g., Studio 54.

The City of Entertainment.

I stayed for a week attending a 3 1/2 days conference, which was also held there. Huge hotel; one could just stay inside the premises and still experience what Vegas is about. I've had to rely on the friendly staff for directions for the first couple of days. World class entertainement facilities, i.e. Grand Garden Arena, Studio 54, Hollywood theatre. Fine dining restaurants, i.e. Emeril's New Orleans Fish House (creole & cajun dishes, line up is always long), Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill (loved the steak), Pearl (chinese cuisine, really classy), Fiamma (italian, elegant yet simple dining experience, ate there almost everyday, lol!). They even have a Grand Buffet; I guess it wouldn't be Vegas without one, and for casual, convenient, eat at any time of day, there's Studio Cafe. Thristy? just take a sit in their casino, and you're immediately offered a drink of your choice by their always on hand floor hostess/staff. For fun and relaxation, there's a spa and a 6.6 acres pool complex. At night, when people are more hyper and a lot of action is going on in the casino floor and bars, there's a security personnel by the elavators who checks for people's room key before they are allowed to go up, so no room key, no entry.

Unique Quality: MGM has a kiosk at the airport where one can check-in while waiting for their luggage or right after picking up their luggage, so once you get to the hotel you could just proceed to your room, no need to line up at registration/check-in counter. The kiosk can also book your tickets to the shows happening at the hotel; arrangge pick-up time for when you depart the hotel. Great service!

Massive hotel

I stayed here from july 30th until aug 4th. It was absolutely wonderful. We had first booked a room with an outside travel agent for a west wing room and i heard how small and cramped it is in there, so i wanted to try and switch to a Grand Tower room (which is considered a downgrade to them, but i think it was a good upgrade). We checked in at the Airport which is VERY nice because it is right in front of the baggage claim and the bags take FOREVER to come so by the time you are done checking in and have your keys, BAM there are your bags.

The check in desk was very sweet and helpful, i asked them if we could switch both of our rooms to a grand tower and they did. They also ended up upgrading one of the rooms to a bungalow suite (which was very nice) for free. It had a huge jacuzzi tub and 2 huge windows to look out of.

The hotel is HUGE but if you read the signs and follow the walkways in the casino, it's very easy to get around. Also, if you can remember a couple of the places around the casino floor, you can remember where to go also.

The staff and service there were WONDERFUL, the food was yum. We ate breakfast at the Grand cafe i think it was called and mmmm they had yum food. The pool was a lot of fun, even though we did not get to enjoy much of it because it stormed every day (i know) and we got kicked out before of lightning.

All in All, i definitley recommend this hotel to anybody. :o) Oh, the monorail is great too

Great modern rooms and a fun pool

We stayed at the MGM Grand in June 07. We booked our rooms over the Internet a few months in advance. When we arrived we were told they had no none-smoking rooms left, which really annoyed me since it's supposed to be the biggest hotel in the world.. I hate smoking, I come from a country where smoking in public areas is banned. So the service was terrible. I have the impression they take great care of guests that visit often than new guests. The hotel itself was huge (of course), it is not as worn down as many of the other hotels in Vegas and the interior is delicate and modern. We got a nice room with a view over the South Strip. The room was large and spacey, with a fantastic bed and a great bathroom. But there was no mini-bar, disappointing! As for the smoking, it was bearable, due to huge amounts of room spray I think. There was an ice machine in the hall, and that saved us. There were several restaurants and cafes, clubs and bars.. and also lots of shops. McDonald's, Starbucks, Hagen Daazs are all represented. The main attraction at the MGM is the lions. Typically the lions were on "holiday" for two of the days during our stay, but we got to see them on our last day. They usually sleep all day so the best time to see them is around 10-11 when they are let in in the habitat. A fun thing is the CBS viewing where you can review episodes of their show and other things. We didnæt have time, but I think it would be fun. I also think the Tabu club would be fun, but I had trouble with my ID (they only accept passports if you're a non-US citizen, and I refuse to bring my passport in clubs).

Unique Quality: I don't know what the view is like from other rooms, but we had a nice view over to New York New York and Excalibur. The best thing was the pool. They had a lazy river and tubes for rent. Insanely priced at 18 or 22 dollars.. ? a day.. The drinks and food at the pool was also overpriced. You get new towels at the entrance which is great. No glass bottles are allowed. There are four or five large pools. Not all of them were open when we arrived at 9-10 AM.. I think they open the pool later on when there are more people. If you want a sunbed in front (as close to the pool) you should get there before 11:30 AM. It's quite an party atmosphere, I would never stay there if I had kids. People are drinking margaritas and beer by the pool and in the pool and the lazy river. The sunbeds were crap, they were quite uncomfortable. It's possible to rent cabanas, but it's very pricey.

MGM Grand

by fsuk

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could shed some light on whether the west wing rooms are just the emerald rooms but named differently? Meaning to say that I have read some reviews of the hotel saying not to stay in the emerald rooms but having been on the MGM website they don't have any rooms by that name but do have rooms in the west wing? I was wondering if they were the same thing! also if you had the choice would you go for the MGM or caesars palace? Thanks in advance!!

I believe that the West Wing is the new name for the renovated Emerald Rooms.

The rooms are fine they are just small if you have more than 2 people, and a long walk from the check-in area of the hotel.
