Ellen’s home and this stay did not disappoint! I am a central Arizona native, and I have been traveling to Las Vegas 5-7 times annually with my family since well before I was even old enough to gamble, and I am now in my 40s.
I have stayed everywhere from the Augustus/Octavius towers ar Caesar’s Palace to the Cosmopolitan to the Venetian to the Bellagio to the Westin Lake Las Vegas to the W/SLS property to your typical “time share” condos for a week’s stay. That said, my stay at Ellen’s place was far and away the BEST way I have experienced Vegas to date for a variety of reasons.
One plus is at the MGM Signature, you are granted the rare opportunity to be “away from it all” while still being right “in the middle of it all!” This is terrific! What I mean by that is, you have the privacy of being within the signature towers which is quieter and far less crowded than the MGM Hotel/Casino itself, but you are still close enough that you can easily enter the action anytime you like without even needing to step outside, without needing to even order an Uber ride! It’s truly incredible how easy they make it to access the spa, restaurants, showrooms, shops, and casino via climate controlled walkways and “moving sidewalks.”
Had I not desired to partake in the spa or any casino activities, I would have had a fine relaxing vacation just staying at the Signature. In that area alone, they have multiple pools, a Starbucks, a lovely restaurant, a gift shop, etc.
In the event that you do with the leave and explore other hotels, casinos, restaurants, etc. you can easily call U Er/Lyft and be picked up from the roundabout at Tower 2.
Ellen’s space itself was everything promised and more! I have booked “the penthouse” other places, overpaid, and been terribly disappointed. On the contrary, Ellen underpromises, and she overdelivers. The view is to-die-for gorgeous! The bed is absolutely super soft luxurious comfort at its finest. I enjoyed the jacuzzi tub. I don’t even think the listing mentioned it, but there is even a television in the bathroom!
Shower has wonderful water pressure. That is one thing I have found to be consistently terrible in multiple Vegas hotels, and something that drives me bonkers. You feel like you are still at the MGM spa every time you use Ellen’s shower.
Kitchen area was fantastically well-equipped though that was not utilized during my particular stay.
Thank you Ellen for a memorial journey. Cannot wait to be your guest again at a later date.
