As a pearl status rewards member, I originally had a comped night for a basic 2 queen beds, but when I checked-in, the front desk offered an upgrade to an executive suite for only an extra $80 (not including resort fees and taxes). We took the upgrade for the executive suite because of the great deal, since the actual value of the suite was more than double. In addition, we arrived around 2-2:30 and were able to check-in beforehand without issues or having to pay an extra fee, which we greatly appreciated!
The suite was located in the grand tower and close to the elevators. It was very spacious upon first impressions. The beds were extremely comfortable (the most comfy on our trip that included a couple visits to other properties), and the bathroom was large and clean. The room, however, was a bit on the worn side (especially around the lounge area), and there was a bag of blackberries left behind on top of the mini-fridge. I understand though that MGM Grand is one of the busiest properties on the strip, so I did not expect the room to be perfect. It was still a great room to stay in for the night, and if I had the option, I wouldn’t have issues staying for another couple days.
Even though it was for one night, I still had a pleasant stay here. Would definitely give it 5 stars if the suite was in better condition, but it was still more spacious and clean than the other places I’ve stayed on this trip!

For being owned by such a prominent and well known brand, this hotel is a serious letdown. We traveled with two other family members so there were four of us total in two rooms. Despite this trip being booked together, our rooms were on completely different floors of the same tower and when we checked in we realized were only given the keys for one of the rooms (which led to us having to return later in the evening to check in again). There is extensive construction work going on inside the hotel, with a few areas being completely closed off. There were only 3 of the 6 elevators in operation for our tower throughout the entire duration of our stay. This led to lines of people at the elevators and significantly long wait times, particularly in morning or evening hours. Upon entry to the first room, which was located at the very end of the hall on level 5, we noticed a strong odor of sewage permeating throughout the room. This disgusting odor lingered for the entire duration of our stay and would randomly be replaced by the smell of garlic for a few hours during the day only to return in the evening at full force. The room itself and the bathroom were both fine minus the decor of the room being outdated. The other issue we had was the smell of cigarette smoke everywhere we went. I know it’s a casino in Vegas and smoking is allowed on the casino floor in most places. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that some of the restaurants and bars are completely open to this area, which means that cigarette smoke wafts freely in all of those places. For people who do not smoke or people who have sensitivity to smoke, this is a HUGE problem. Based on this experience, I will likely never stay here again when I visit Vegas and would not recommend it.

Went for my bachelor party and it was good. Fairly clean casino and eating areas. Rooms were just fine, comfy beds. Only half of the elevators up to the rooms were working which was slightly annoying. You could never leave here and be busy with things to do all weekend as long as you like gambling and sports betting.

The MGM Grand Las Vegas is a decent option if you're looking for a place to stay on the Strip. The location is convenient, and the hotel offers a variety of dining options and entertainment. The casino is large and has a good selection of games.
However, there are a few areas where the hotel could improve. The rooms, while spacious, are starting to show their age and could use some updates. The cleanliness of the rooms was also not up to par, with some guests reporting issues with housekeeping. Additionally, the check-in process can be quite slow, especially during peak times.
The pool area is nice, but it can get very crowded, and finding a spot can be challenging. The resort fees are also quite high, which can add up quickly.
Overall, the MGM Grand Las Vegas is an average hotel with some good amenities, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

The MGM Grand in Las Vegas is one of the most well-known and massive resorts on the Strip, and for good reason. From the moment you step into the lobby, it’s clear that this place is big—really big. The grand entrance sets the tone with its impressive size and luxurious feel. The hotel is packed with everything you could want: a huge casino, tons of restaurants, shops, and even a theater for top-notch entertainment.
The rooms at the MGM Grand are spacious and comfortable, with modern touches and plenty of amenities to make your stay enjoyable. While the rooms themselves are great, the real star of the show is the hotel’s wide range of facilities. There’s a beautiful pool area with cabanas, a fitness center, and a variety of dining options that cover everything from casual eats to fine dining. If you’re into entertainment, the MGM Grand definitely delivers. It’s home to some big-name shows and concerts, and there’s always something going on. Plus, the casino floor is huge, with plenty of options for gambling and a vibrant atmosphere. If you’re looking for a lively, all-in-one resort in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand is a solid choice. It’s packed with entertainment, dining, and relaxation options, making it a great base for your Vegas adventure.
