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.

Have stayed at the MGM Grand serveral times before, and have had, some issues with poor service etc, However I must say
they have improved considerably, during our week end everything was great, Friendly and helpfull staff. It is good to see
this, and goes to show that the staff do make a major difference,
and can be let down by just one poor member !
This is a large Hotel, Rooms were fine ,the Pool is great especaily the Lazy River, but keep away from the bottom end where there new Pool Club is ( called Republic I think ), It pumps out so much load music, it gave me a headache !! FIne if you like that sort of thing , but we dont !
We eat in the Craft Steak, Food was good, but it it way way overpriced, I dont mind paying for good food, but we left feeling we had been ripped off, and will certainlly not return, The group next to us actually shared 2 steaks between 4 as it was so exspenisve !!

We stayed at the MGM Grand August 10-15. Overall, our experience was very good. The beds were the most comfortable that we have ever slept in! The pool was great. We spent a lot of time in the lazy river. It was a little bit of a walk to get to the pool, but hey, its Vegas, what do you expect?
Our only complaint is that the restaurants were way out of our budget. We only ate a few meals at the hotel because it was difficult to find something reasonable. The deli, the breakfast buffet and the Grand Cafe were all good, but it would be great to have more restaurants that were affordable.
We also ate at the Grand Wok. This was very expensive and I didn't think that it was very good, however, my boyfriend got sushi and said it was delicious. The pizza place in the food court was very good and affordable.
Overall, we will stay there again.

Stayed for 3 nights with 2 kids aged 8 and 5. Fast check-in. Room was great. The hotel is huge but everything is well sign posted. Good base for seeing vegas - it's on the monorail line so it's easy to get to other hotels further up the strip. We had the buffet breakfast one morning which had loads of choice and the Rainforest cafe one day for lunch - great place, especially if you've got kids. The only one downfall we found was the pool areas - we picked the MGM mainly because of the big pool areas - however, all of the pools and especially the lazy river, were packed full of teenagers standing around drinking . Having said that there was no trouble, but not the best place for kids to be.

All in all, would definitely recommend this hotel and other than the pool scene, it would be hard to find fault.
