text: I stayed at the MGM Grand from September October with my husband My husband was in town for a conference which was being held at the MGM Conference Center so that is why we stayed here We stayed in a standard room with two queen beds we had friends who came up for a night that was more than adequately sized The bathroom is pretty average for a hotel I must prefer the bathrooms at Aria and PalazzonnThe hotel is still a maze to get around and you will walka lot The trek from the room elevators to the conference center is long the walk from the elevators to the pool is long and the walk to the sports book especially if you are going from the pool is long But it is a good chance to work off all the food and booze nnThe MGM pool complex remains one of my favorite pool areas in Vegas even if cocktail service is sporadic and slow At the end of September at am it was not hard for me to snag a chair mere steps from the pool We did not dine at any of the MGM restaurants but we did have drinks more than once at Whiskey Down I had several very friendly waitresses there watched Sunday football at Centrifuge buckets of beer for and much more comfy than the sports book and watched several sporting events at the sports book again I had several nice waitresses there Taxi lines were nonexistent so you walked out the door and into a cab Plus getting to and from the airport is super easy and around depending on traffic nnAs a tip if you are heading out to walk the Strip or just want to buy cheap beer without paying for it or gambling walk to the sports book make a right and go out the doors in that area There is a convenience store when you walk out where you can get oz cans of beer to take with you while walking Also it is a good shortcut to get directly onto the Strip
