text: Just got back from a night stay at the MGM Grand Normally I do not like staying on this end of the strip I have been spoiled by rooms at the Venetian you see but when going on the dime of a company you go where they tell you Curiously I had to pay for Sunday night since the conference did not start until Monday It was only so I did not think it was that badnnI had a room in the West Wing or whatever they call it not the Tower rooms That wing of the MGM has seen better days for sure I had to walk down probably the longest coldest hallway ever to get to the elevator to go up to my room There were stains all over the floor luckily the dim lighting hid it a bit OR you could walk through the West Wing bar and then to the elevator nnThe room was AOK though It was decorated in a throwback s style sort of The bathroom had glass sink and shelving all in one piece but also had separate shower and toilet Everything had glass doors though and even if they were frosted I would say you would better be pretty close to your roomie before you start lathering up I was absolutely FASCINATED by the TV in the bathroom it was inside the mirror Yes completely flat inside the mirror I watched TV every time I got ready just because I thought it was so funny The light was completely embedded in the mirror alsonnSpeaking of mirrors there were a lot of them in the bedroom part of the room too The entire closet and also the wall beside it was mirrored A retro chair stood over to the side The bed was huge and was so phenomenally soft and comfy with feather pillows MMMM so good when you come home tipsy and want to pass out I liked that it was positioned far away from the door so that no noise from the hallway could reach you while sleeping I did not like NO mini bar the stained carpet and the fact that some of the molding around the bottom of the room was cracked off and no repairs had been made Made it look a little shabby But hell are you even in the room anyway nnThe casino was ok slots were not very loose insert Beavis and Butthead laugh here Bartenders were friendly Food court had some decent fast food options Nathans hot dogs some Asian place with fresh meats that you picked out pizza McDonalds Starbucks and there were fancy pants restaurants too The conference center was also a decent size and they had a large ballroom for large events free Foghat and Kansas show Yes please I really liked the Centrifuge bar where you could play video poker drink listen to bangin tunes and watch the hot bartenders dance on the bar The pool looked fun too even if a chemical spill did because problems just days before I was there and I hear Wet Republic is the bomb diggity so no problems there You can also take the monorail from here to other casinos in the area They even have a few stores for shopping although not very many options so go somewhere else to buy an outfitnnI think MGM Grand is AOK for a reasonably priced room where you can crash while drunk I am not going to be clamoring to stay here but if I am paying my own money I might consider it
