After an 11 hour flight on a rather cramped Virgin Atlantic flight i was tired. In the UK I have only ever stayed in Travelodges and those kinds of places so when we arrived at The Signature I was amazed. Gated Entrance and three huge 38 floor towers, we were situated Tower One. The taxi dropped us off and I went to go get my bags, silly me im in America and had about 10 people come to get my bags, this was my first pleasant surprise. As i walked in the huge glass doors i was greeted by am amazing Art Deco style hall(and a nice mexican lady cleaning the glass), i hate art deco but this was almost enough to totally revert me. There was cream/yellow grantie everywhere with eccentric lighting and furnishings. We approached the desk and we were told everything we had to know by Tony, he was an extremely nice man, i couldnt tell if he was too nice. We got old our rooms and i wasnt really listning till i heard PenthouseFloor 31.
Walking over to the lifts i was terrified. I have a total phobia of lifts. I stood in the lift grabbing onto the rails and closed my eyes and as i the lift went i near enough fell to the floor. before i could get even worse i was there. Embarrased much! As the doors opened we went out and the hallway was amazing (even had an ice room :D) We has double doors going into our suite and we had really posh key cards in a booklet haha. very well presented. Up to now everything was amazing and nothing could top the halls as they were amazing, i thought if the rooms can top that this place is goood.
I entered the suite. There was a marble tile floor at the door which was also in the bathroom that was to your immediate right in our suite. I took a look in and, wow. I have never stayed any where where that has a Television the bathroom, there was two sinks in cherry wood cabinet things with a black granite work surfaces covered in June Jacobs stuff. to the right of the sinks there was a huge shower - i have to say with a disapointingly small shower head and low pressure water - and to the right of that was the biggest bath i have seen in my life with jets in it too. At the left of the sink there was a seperate door which had the toilet in it, with a phone !? haha. ( i will post pictures hopefully.)
As i left he bathroom there is a surface inbetween the entrance and the actual room which had glass shelves and the container for ice which i had to go fill up to see the ice room haha. In the room on the right wall there was the huge bed which was mega comfortable and the divider wall where the sofa bed was behind. On the far top wall there was the doors leading onto the balcony with alright views of the strip. i didnt really venture there though, fear of hights. and the left wall was the desk and forward of that was the kitchenette. This had a food dispostal unit, fridge and microwave. the fridge only had water in it to my disapointment haha no chocolate :(, hate american chocolate anyway though. there was also a cooker hob and lots of storage space. By the wall cabines there was the huge flat screen television. Although i find Amaerican TV pretty crap bar Family guy and those shows. And forward of the kitchen back to the lobby was the huge closet with the big safe in it. the place was decorated with cream paint high ceilings and a nice carpet. The furnishings were all top class Obvisously haha. Expensive taste me.
I forgot to mention earlier that at the bottom floor by the lifts there is a small confectionary shop which was quirky and nice even though the woman didn't like us for some reason, or maybe she is like that with everyone.
FOOD:
theere was no restaurant in Tower one but in Tower two(whic is accesible by a corridor) had a deli. This place was lovely and every morning i went down for my chocolate pastry things. It was OVERpriced.
On my last stay we went to the MGM Grand for breakfast which i wished we had gone everyday it was lovely. The signature is connected to the MGM Grand with Moving walkways. ****REMEMBER****TAKE A KEY CARD WITH YOU(as i unfortunatly found out while having to wait for someone to come open the door.). If you are in a group and there are people still in your room and you forget your key, when you go into the MGM Grand to go get a MacDonalds or something. You will not get back in. To get into the Signature you need a Key Card everywhere. Some may see this as a pain but i loved it because loads of people got see me go into the posh building haha.
Anyway back to food. The grand buffet in the actual MGM was simply amazing. At the desserts bit there was frozen yoghurt machines that tased like ice cream :). The food was pretty damn good too.
CONCLUSION:
The Signature at MGM Grand is amazing, i went with family there was four of us and there was still loads of room in our suite. its family friendly i seen a few people with kids there, they all looked pretty rich though. The hotel is also great for anything, all guests. i have to admit everything was overpriced but i mean your in Vegas its not like your hotel is the only place to get food from. the service was great, im not sure if i like it too good though, i think we under tipped people but they never exploded, they passed the 'crappy tip' test haha. the only person i didn tike was confectionary woman, she was strange. The hotel deserves all 5(i think) stars it has. A+ haha.
POOL:
To enter the pool you must have your key as it is private in a gated area. As you walk in there is a tent bit where you are handed a towel and couple bottles of water from an ice ice bucket. There is also a bar that also sells non alcoholic drinks which are lovely, the alocoholic ones are also very nice Especially the Pina Coladas. **In the MGM Grand there is a bar that is very coolurful yo cant miss its by the Shibuya restaurant, the Strawberry Daquiris there are ACE**
MOVING WALKWAYS:
As i mentioned there are moving walkways to connect The Gignature with the MGM. Just remember a Key Card or you pretty much fricked.
BALCONIES:
They are a fairly huge. Good if you dont mind the fact you could be 38 floors above ground.
