text: A few years ago this was one of my preferred places to stay But if you do not strive to always improve someone else will outshine younThe buildings location is solid I enjoy this end of the strip Its not a far walk to get to other main focal points like the Bellagio or Caesars nThe main areas of entertainment are bright and exciting and the pool is upkept nicely nBut its time for a remodel Everything is the same it offers no new or differentiating features to distinguish themselves from the other properties Sure they have those poor and sad looking captive creatures are unique to the MGM and no matter your stance on placing a large cat in the middle of the dessert they are only entertaining for a whole minutes I do very much enjoy KA amazing but Wet Republic and the CSI attractions were decent Go elsewhere for entertainment and exciting things to donMy room was deplorable I understand people go to Vegas and do stupid things in their hotel rooms but I do not want my freshly cleaned room to still smell like a reefers college dorm But worse upon complaint the guest services would only put an ozone machine to try to help offset the horrible smell and denied my room change request Even on the second complaint the next day they just said they were sorry and offered free buffet tickets SadnThis will be my last visit here you were once a gem and hopefully can learn and grow
