The first thing we thought when we booked up to stay here was "are we going to find our way around?". We'd read reviews about people complaining that the hotel was just *too* big but luckily we didn't have that problem. Everything in the MGM Grand is pretty well sign posted so we had no troubles finding our way around at all. We stayed in the West Wing and the room was lovely and modern. The hotel has everything from a Lion Habitat to a McDonalds to a wedding chapel to 3 starbucks.
Everything was top notch, the only thing I would complain about (which is the same for everywhere on the strip) was the air conditioning was far too cold!
Unique Qualities: Lion Habitat - Very unique. They rotate the lions every few hours so you get to see a variety of behaviour plus it would be cruel if they didn't. We frequently had to walk past the lions to get out of the hotel so we saw quite a few in our time there but sadly no cubs!
Studio 54 - Was good, especially if you like RnB music. The nightclub wasn't as extravagant as I was expecting. We went on a Thursday night and barely had to queue! We were also really dressed up but I saw people in there wearing jeans and flipflops. I would go back to Studio 54 if it was local to me but if I was to go back to Vegas I would try somewhere else.
KA theatre - We saw the Cirque du Soleil on our last night. Seeing a show in Vegas is a must and I would strongly recommend KA. Be warned - take a cardigan with you because the air conditioning was far too cold!
TV city - If you want to have a little sit down visit CBS television city. You get to watch a pilot episode of a tv show and give your opinions on it. Sure you didn't come all the way to Vegas to watch tv but its a unique idea if you want a little rest after trekking about the strip.
West Wing bar - Very chilled. Fabulous chairs. Slightly pricey.
Pool - The pool is great. We only went to the pool twice but had no problems getting a sunlounger (mainly because the MGM has more than one pool). The best one was the lazy river which you can either bob around by yourself or hire a rubber ring.
