3.5 stars. \n\nI stayed at MGM a few years back and felt that was a so so experience then.\n\nThis time around, I was relatively satisfied with my stay. Though not the swankiest, or newest of hotels, there were little things here and there that mad e our stay here quite enjoyable.  Everything is in walking distance and there are a fair amount of eateries within the hotel. \n\nThe pool areas are large enough to house to accommodate all sorts of visitors: party goers, couples, families. \n\nOne thing I will say is that check in line is ridiculously long. Like lining up for a ride to disneyland. \n\nThe rooms are spacious. Slightly outdated but definitely clean (we took a white terry towel and did a rubdown of the surfaces within the room, even the chairs/sofa--clean!). We thought it was great how intuitively placed the switches, electric outlets, cable/ adapter things for media --- impressive.\n\nGetting anyone on the phone was a bit of an ordeal. We were on hold for about 10 mins at one point. \n\nOverall, much better than my last stay and things have been changed for the better. Definitely easy to get lost in here but all vegas hotels are like that for me anyway LOL.
