text: My niece and I recently stayed at the MGM Grand located on the Strip in Las Vegas NV I decided to book a room in this West Wing of the hotel during this visit The West Wing rooms are located closer to the front entrance near the Rainforest Cafe This afforded us to have closer access to the Strip and so not to have to walk all the way through the Casino The rooms were smaller but were not recently renovated as the rooms at the Grand Tower I selected this hotel only because of the Backlot Lazy River and the other pools in which we had an excellent timennThe elevators leading to the West Wing rooms where very dirty beaten up and looked like elevators which had graffiti and were from the ghetto The elevators were working but so bad that you could not tell which floor you were at The West Wing lounge carpet entrance area looked cheap filthy The front desk personnel did not inform us until we inquired that we can reach our room via the elevators close to the Front Desk and near the Grand Tower so we did not have to walk to from the Casino to reach our rooms in the West Wing The resort fee we were charged included a Bar Credit which we could not use in the Pool area and most of the inside Bars did not have a blender for frozen type of drinks Also we could not bring our own floatation to use in the Backlot Lazy River and had to purchase use the Tubes which cost each nnWill I stay there again Probably not but I loved the Backlot Lazy River pool and the hypnoticelectronic dance beat type of music and the close proximity of the hotel to the airport
