My wife and I were first time visitors to Vegas and the MGM Grand. We were really pleased with the standard of the hotel. We booked a standard room and were surprised and delighted to find our room was large with two double beds. The room was clean and catered for all our needs.Checking in and out took no longer than 5 mins each time.
We were spoilt for choice in choosing places to eat within the hotel. When we went to the casino croupiers were friendly and happy to answer any questions that we had - however obvious they were.
I only have some minor criticisms.
Firstly if you plan on using the pool there are no where near enough shade umbrellas provided so if you don't get there early then you burn. The hotel could easily invest in a few more!
The second criticism is also pool related. I was horrified to see so many people in pools carrying glass bottles. I always get a little nervous when I see glass and water and with so much beer being drunk by the pool I feel it's an accident waiting to happen.
Two very minor points that shouldn't put anyone off staying here.
One last tip for anyone visiting Vegas: Don't bother with the monorail as it drops you at the back of the hotels and leaves you with lengthy walks to get to the strip. There is a bus called the Deuce which costs $3 for unlimited 24 hour travel all along the strip and as far as Fremont Street. The nearest stop to the MGM is by the Adidas shop and is a far better option.
