I was a little bit worried about being too far off the strip but it was a perfect location! We were able to walk south, through the MGM Grand through the air conditioned moving walkways and started on the south end of the strip and walked up. We came in on a Tuesday evening and it wasn’t crowded at all, which we loved. We were able to enjoy the MGM’s lazy river (only bad thing was it was $25 to buy one tube! But we took it home with us). MGM has so many activities and dining options you wouldn’t even need to leave! I wanted to sight see so we took the Tram from the MGM Grand Station up to the Linq ($5 per person, and only maybe 7 min) to eat at Hash House and see the Venetian gondolas and wax museum. We then walked back to the hotel from there (so almost the entire strip) and it was not bad at all as long as you have your walking shoes on! Took maybe 30 min.
As far as the room itself goes, very nice. We were on floor 14 and at the very end of the hallway so there wasn’t much noise outside our room in the hall. Check in was super easy but there was only 1 person at the desk so there was a line. The room was clean, everything worked. I really enjoyed the private toilet area, double sinks, large shower and jacuzzi tub!! The bed was VERY comfortable. Even my husband who is extremely picky about beds loved it! The view is of the top golf area, the airport, and you can see a little bit of the lazy river and Wet Republic pool area. If I do come back to Vegas I would stay here again!!
