text: When it comes to Vegas always remember You get what you pay for nnMGM has recently done renovations and the rooms and hallways look great They are very much up to Vegas standards nnHowever MGM was originally opened in so some items that are not cosmetic have not been upgradednn Such as the ventilation in the casino and rooms MGM is very smokey and you will notice it in your hairclothing Also the AC in our room took a LONG time to cool the room down nn The shower was a little wonky as well The faucet would run while the shower was running and the water had the potential to get extremely hot nnPMGM is cheaper than other hotels so it is a good choice for someone on a budget who would still like to be on the strip nnWhat I did like nn Having an M Life card It is free to sign up and allowed us to get a discount on Zumanity tickets The price dropped from to person nA lot of hotels do not offer discounts to their guests when booking through the concierge so that was great nThis card also gives you a discount at the small convenient store in the lobby nn The pool area is very nice There is more than one pool available and extras like a volleyball net and inner tubes are available for free The chairs are comfortable and there are lots available nn The cafeteria Dining on a budget McDonalds and Nathans are some of the fast food available They also have a Starbucks in the casino nn MGM is located on a busy part of the strip There are lots of shops and other hotels to walk to from MGM nnOverall a nice hotel worth stars
