MGM Grand Hotel & Casino Las Vegas
Hotel Information: Billing itself "The City of Entertainment," the 5,034-room MGM Grand Hotel and Casino indeed resembles a teeming city where thousands of guests and staff converge. The hotel is fronted by a 45-foot-tall lion, the largest bronze statue in the United States and a tribute to the MGM film studio's legendary roaring-lion symbol.
Amenity highlights: A coconut-grove garden features five pools (one open year-round), three spa tubs, and a quarter-mile lazy river. Entertainment includes a lion habitat, headliners and sports events in a 17,157-seat arena, a nude-female dance troupe from Crazy Horse in Paris, a re-creation of the 1970s New York dance club Studio 54, and the Cirque du Soleil production KÀ. A vast array of dining choices includes a French restaurant by celebrated chef Joël Robuchon and a branch of New York’s acclaimed Fiamma.
Insider tip: Exclusive in Las Vegas, the 2.5-hour Dreaming Ritual treatment and massage at the health spa features oils and wraps inspired by Australian Aboriginal culture.
MGM Grand offers 5,034 guestrooms and suites in a 30-story emerald-green building. Amenities include safes, pay movies, electronic check-out, and high-speed wired and wireless Internet access (surcharges).
