Don't be fooled by the picture of Peter & cute kid into thinking this is a traditional Airbnb style listing - this is actually a listing from a company called Blue Chip Vegas who have lots of units in the MGM Signature.

By renting this apartment, you check-in via the hotel but the apartment is managed by Blue Chip - any problems you have are typically dealt with by them, not the hotel. This in itself is fine, but I don't really feel it's in the spirit of Airbnb, nor is it mentioned in the listing.

Pros:

- Pretty nice apartment with large bathroom with great tub.
- Fantastic view from the strip facing unit I had at the top of Tower 1 (Penthouse, floor 38)
- No casino to walk through as the MGM signature doesn't have one, but is attached to the MGM (about 5-10 mins walk).

Cons:

- Horrifically bad wifi.
- Noisy elevators - my room was nowhere near the elevators, yet I heard them going up and down constantly. It woke me up early each morning.
- No self-parking, only valet ('free') - they are very friendly but nevertheless, even if you just want to go back to your room for half an hour, you have to go through the valet. When you're in and out all day as I was, it becomes slightly annoying, especially when tipping each time. You could park in the MGM, but it's MILES to walk to their colossal self-park.
- Despite staying in a hotel, you won't get your room cleaned each day (unless you are prepared to pay $25, as offered in a welcome email from Blue Chip I received. $25 to clean a hotel room - wow.)

The biggest problem for me was the internet. I was there working for a week and of course am reliant on internet access for this.

I asked to be moved to a different room or tower to where service might be better, but after 4 days of to'ing and fro'ing with Blue Chip (you can't deal with the hotel direct since they don't own the room), the best they came up with was to move me to the 10th floor of the same tower (when I had reserved the Penthouse) and not adjust the rate. Even in the lobby, the internet is slow so this seemed pointless.

I was promised a call back the following day (which would have been the 5th of my 7 nights) from one of the owners, but that didn't materialise.

So, in conclusion, there are better options available.

Every hotel I've stayed at in Vegas has rapid internet available so this really is a must these days. I also found it frustrating and slow dealing with a separate company to the hotel I was staying in, especially as they weren't all that keen to help.
