This was my third trip and again had a blast. Room rates mid week were $79.00 a night with my players club card. I have never had problems with the staff. They always have been nice and polite to me. I do very little gambling, usually video poker but I always use the card. My rooms so far have been just fine. Yes, this hotel is BIG but you're in Vegas, you will have to do some walking. I really enjoy the location. You have the Mandalay, Luxor, NY-NY, all on the monorail line across the strip. The main Monorail from the Mandalay to the Stratosphere has a stop at the MGM. the bottom line. This hotel is a lot of fun. There is plenty of things to do right on the property. Try and avoid the weekends and always use your players club card and you will have great room offers. Will be going again in April.
