Great Review as always. Diamond level on Royal Caribbean has Gold reward privileges at M rewards unless the rewards changed since the ownership restructuring. Another tip: House Seats offers free tickets to shows as a member. They are currently running a deal if you are interested. We bought the membership after we moved to Vegas and actually saw up to 50 free shows over the 3 years as members. Some shows are not worth the trouble while others were fantastic. The seats are also placed well in the theater. First row at several shows. Fifth row at Michael McDonald Concert. Cirque Shows included. As far as I know, you do not need to be a local to join. We actually still have a membership and moved across the country. Just a suggestion if you have the time when in town.

I have not stayed at MGM Grand since 2008, and I remember the buffet back then not being overly great. My dad loved it, he would keep getting the buffet comped. One time was way more then enough. My father would have probably gone back a 3rd time, but after the 2nd I had to put an end to it. They had steak that was nothing to write home about. The best place was Wolfgang Pucks with their amazing calzones.

Love the MGM. We have been to Vegas more than a dozen times. Mostly business. We like to extend our stays. We usually jump back to the MGM Grand for our personal time. Went the week before F1. Had to be out of the other resort by 11a.m went to the MGM desk about 10a.m. They were really awesome. Took my name said self check in was about noon. But if they had something they would text. They weren’t kidding 30 minutes later I was in my room. No extra charge. This has maybe second best pool in Vegas… They need to keep the party river and add a sports screen section.. Rooms are still clean and nice. Buffet was good.

I stayed at MGM in November. It is huge. Food options are many and good. I'm not one to really go and get a really good breakfast, so far that I did do the buffet. Its ok, nothing special but definitely worked for me, since I really just want to get some coffee and some decent food in me. And it opens before some other places and I don't sleep in very late. MGM is definitely going to be my choice again when I go back later this year

MGM Grand holds a special place for me because it's the very first hotel I stayed on my first Vegas trip. Now that I have been so many times to other Vegas properties, really agree on the review... but for me, this place is/was the epitome of Vegas... BIG, Flashy, big pool area, great restaurants - just screams Las Vegas. I went first during the 'family' years... where the The Signature towers were an amusement park. Man, what a trip to think of that now. Man, even the slot change ladies wheeling their carts in that casino. But at this point, not sure I would go back. Just have done it so much. Car rental - we used to do it all the time... .when parking, and even Valet was free (besides tip). It was great to go from hotel to hotel just to check it out, and not pay for parking and if we didn't want to stay, didn't feel obligated because we paid for parking. Now, not worth it to us unless you want to to a more off strip things.

Forgot to mention the Lion Exhibit they used to have, where you could walk under the lions habitat. Many people were upset thinking that the lion's lived there. But it wasn't until they closed it that I found out the lions were brought in from a lion sanctuary outside the city. They took in lions that people thought they could have as pets, from zoos, wherever. So the sanctuary would bring a few lions in for an hour or two, rotate the lions, let people see them... but they weren't living at MGM. And when they closed the exhibit it actually hurt the sanctuary because that was their main revenue source. As far as I know they still exist, found new funding and I think people can go visit there now. Sorry so long winded... but wanted to share some of that Vegas history, if people were unaware.

I just stayed at MGM Grand for 4 nights at the end of March. First time there. Loved it. A few takeaways from my trip, if I may... (TL:DR MGM Grand has it all, from good to excellent, none of it bad, excellent value at the right price point.) -I stayed in the Studio Tower (the former West Wing Tower). It's a LOT closer to the Strip. There's a side entrance to the elevators right in between Level Up and Bonanno's Pizza. The other entrance is by Crush. From there, it's really not that long of a walk to the pool, or to the lobby. The studio rooms have been renovated recently to a Palm Springs type decor. It's a small room, but nice, and the location/quick access to everything was a game changer. If you're doing Vegas solo, and/or don't need a lot of frills/space, I highly recommend the Studio Tower. -I have the MGM Mastercard, and that also gets you access to the Gold Lounge. The regular line when I was there was at least 300 people. The gold lounge line was 3 people. I had early check in, and I only had to wait 5 minutes to get a room. -The pool is really nice. The side pools were closed, but the Main Pool was open, as well as the popular Lazy River. There are a lot of chairs, so even if it's busy, you should be able to get a chair. There were a lot of kids. I look forward to checking out the Private Reserve area next time I go. -I had the buffet more than once. It was $25 after tax ($27.99 minus $4.50 with my Pearl discount), before a tip. It's good for the price, given your expectations are tempered. There are less food sections than there used to be (the salad bar has been greatly reduced), but there is more seating to make up for the buffets that have closed. And it's always busy. Packed...so it can't be that bad. If you just get a standard breakfast with a pop/juice at a casino cafe, it's $25 (at least), and you get more at the buffet (though it is a smaller buffet), so there's value there. It's not that different than my local casino's buffet, for the same price. It's not as good as the old Feast Buffets in the Station Casinos. It's adequate, if you're on a budget and aren't a big foodie that needs the best that Vegas has to offer. If you can afford the Wynn or Caesars buffet, and like fine cuisine, obviously you should go there. This is not that. You get 2 hours at the MGM Buffet. -I saw live entertainment nightly at multiple venues during my stay, including at Level Up. -MGM Grand is very busy. That Starbucks line at 8am by the front lobby was at least 50 people deep, easy. The lobby is already packed by then. By 11am, it's chaos. Now, the other casinos do get pretty busy too, but it's nothing like MGM Grand. The slot players do not waste any time there, and by 11 there are already more people playing than not. The conventions draw a crowd, and they start early. At night, there are people literally everywhere you turn. MGM Grand really does have everything, and the location of it is very underrated. It's a little bit of all of the MGM casinos in one. Whatever they don't have, there is a CVS and a Target nearby, another food court, and more. You have the two trams within walking distance that will take you to all of the MGM casinos. If you want to go further north, you have the monorail. I often took a cab from say, Bellagio to NYNY for less than $10 (plus a tip) and the taxi stand is right by the escalator right back up to the bridge to MGM Grand. You're also close to T-Mobile Arena, Dolby Live, Allegiant Stadium, and of course, the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Every casino has Dragon Link slots. Might as well save the time hopping around and play right where you're at. Thanks for all the cool videos and the helpful advice! Sorry for the long read! Cheers.

Seriously though it’s a great property but a tad chaotic for me . Restaurants are excellent such as Emerils as well as the ones you mentioned. The pool area is one of the best . For me I still prefer Bellagio Aria or Mandalay Bay. Speaking of the lounges …at Aria if you stay in a suite there is the VIP lounge and check in . This is separate from the Sky Suites lounge and check in. Excellent video 😎😎😎

Says alot that you don't/ didn't have to ask for an upgrade being Gold, status upgrades should be inherent on check in. MGM for the most part is pretty good about taking care of status members as well as AMEX FHR..

Respectfully, I have to disagree as a Platinum, I always asked, give the $20-$50 and I’m lucky to get a non stained rug and enough water pressure to wash my hair. I guess it’s hit or miss.

First time I stayed at MGM they put me in the very last room if the hallway of the west wing. The strip was on the other side of the wall and it was close to a 20 min. walk from the self park to the room. It put me off the MGM for a few years. Last time I stayed there I got a Stay Well room and was surprised it had it's own check in as soon as you walked in from the self park and the room was a lot closer. Still, I'm with you, the MGM is way too big unless you plan on not leaving the property.

I think my first time staying there was also in that ridiculous hall of the West Wing and the room was so small, took me ten years to go back, it was such a bad first impression

Great Clip Josh and Rachel. Unfortunately MGM Grand has left a bad taste due to my personal experience of poor service , to the point of dissing me as a small time Chef, when in fact I have tons of past Culinary Awards. I am a professional Banquet Chef , serving up to 3000 guest at one time, but also competed in many world standing Culinary Shows, in my time. Anyway, because of their rude intentions towards me, I will never stay at MGM Grand. The management needs a serious overhaul. There are too many great Vegas Resorts, that will go out of their way to treat you right ; The Wynn and The Venetian, for example. That being said, thank you guys for your review. Maybe David Copperfield will make MGM Grand disappear ( kidding ). Cheers ! Chef Bari

If we can ask, where are you a chef? Is it a place we need to try out sometime? We do love the Wynn! And hoping to try out Venetian eventually! Thanks so much for watching!

that’s unfair. it’s way above average in terms of the average hotel in america, it’s about average in terms of casinos in america. is it below average for the strip? probably, but it’s the best of all it’s neighbors (NYNY, excalibur, Trop, planet hollywood/polo towers, oyo, park mgm. maybe mandalay bay is better but that’s pretty far.)
