I stayed @ the MGM Grand while in Vegas and I have nothing but good things to say. the check-in was smooth, our room was right near the casino floor, room was clean, there are tons of things to do IN the hotel (gambling, rainforest cafe, Studio 54 etc..) that you might not have to leave. the hotel is right on the Strip, right across from New York,New York. when I go back to Vegas I am defintely staying at the MGM Grand. others say the hotel is too big and hard to find you way around. I disagree 100%.
