MGM Grand Hotel Casino - Las Vegas
Nov 26, 2008 by Megan from Fort Worth,TX

Overall Rating: 8

• The interior design of the room, and honest employees.
• I stood at the concierge desk for 15 minutes and no one would even speak to me.

“Clean, honest employees, they give back 100 tips for pizza when they know you're drunk! Very nice and upstanding of them. The front desk lady was so sweet and cheerful, she seemed as though she was sincerely happy that I was there. Excellent food, for a hotel. Very reasonably priced, I was amazed at the quality for the price.”

• I liked the location of this hotel - it was right on the strip.
• The smoke and mold.

“I was extremely disappointed and inconvenienced to a point that it ruined my trip. I went with a group and couldn't participate in a few activities because I was constantly busy straightening out issues with my room.”

• The hotel has a nice setup inside--easy access to everything.
• Its a little out of the way to the main strip--plan on riding a bus.

“We arrived and were met with huge amounts of construction both at and around the hotel. There is basically no public parking due to construction so count on using valet. The entrance was closed due to construction and the new 8 billion dollar condo project is next door so lots of dust on my car after 4 days. The first room had not been cleaned, was smoking instead of non, and 2 beds instead of one! So back down to the front desk again and got an acceptable room the 2nd time. The rest of the stay was fine.”

• When we asked for our rooms to be changed because bed was uncomfortable, no questions asked!
• Had to change rooms because bed was so uncomfortable.

“My husband and I have stayed previously at the Monte Carlo and thought we would return. We were disappointed upon arrival that our pillow-top mattress was rock hard. After our first night, we called the front desk and they moved us to a room with two queen beds (which I think were actually full-size). The beds were much more comfortable but really small, so my husband and I ended up in separate beds for most of the stay!”

• The location is about the only thing going for this hotel.
• Pretty much everyting except for the location was bad. The room, price and the casino were not up to par with other Vegas establishments.

“The room was very pricy and very outdated. The rooms had a very cheap feel to them. Pillows were lumpy and the bed was old and hard. The house keeping came into our room at 6 am and I had to yell at them to leave. Supposedly the "do not disturb" sign had fallen on the floor. Casino was nothing special, again feeling very late 80's, early 90's. Hotel needs to be remodeled desperately!”

• The bellman was extremely kind and actually paid our taxi fare for us because they didn't take credit cards.
• The brewery restaurant was terrible. Our room was not nice.

“The Monte Carlo is nice, but has lots of competition for the price. Our room was offered as strip-view, and instead was parking-lot-view, including romantic construction. We had no refrigerator in the room and it just seemed really stripped down, akin to a Best Western, rather than a Las Vegas hotel/casino.”

• Location.
• Rooms need renovations.

“There is construction going on next door which is 24hours around the clock upon checking in the clerk put us directly facing it. After a horrible night sleep, went to the desk to ask about a room change which we were able to do. The new room was not as bad you could still hear the construction but it was not as loud. Overall they need to invest some money in there rooms mattress very uncomfortable and wallpaper peeling off walls faucets dripping just to name a few.

• Great location, clean, great service, close to everything on the strip, decent restaurants, fair prices for most things.
• Internet access was not included and expensive ($16/day) and exercise facilities were not included and expensive ($19/day.

“Hotel itself was 3+ stars and great as far as the lodging and amenities. Disappointed in not having free or reasonable prices internet and exercise facilities. Look to pay $15+ per day for each. Lots of construction in the immediate area of the hotel. Lots of slow moving traffic in the area of the hotel. As close to the strip as you can be, but plan for traffic and driving as it takes a long time to get in and out of the hotel area. Hotel parking was scarce on weekend nights.”

• The retail stores need to be open sooner for shopping.

“Overall, a very positive experience. There is a large construction project on one side of the Monte Carlo and our request to be in a room away from the construction was accommodated. Good central location, friendly staff. We ate in three of the restaurants and all were very good - especially the Brand Steak House. I would stay here again.”

• It was not too expensive and nice located.
• Construction work right below our window and no minibar.

“All in all, the hotel was ok but I would have expected a nicer room for a four stars delux. The room was very simple and there was no minibar or frige that we could put some snacks in.”

• The rooms were spacious and clean.
• The hotel is next to a construction site that was loud and dirty.

“Our room was clean. The location was a little south of where we wanted to be, but we made it work. The construction next door was an eye sore and loud at all hours of the day and night. Construction dust/small debris fell upon us as we walked by. The pool area was nice and a good place to relax. The casino was less smoky than many others that we checked out. The buffet was one of the least expensive that we ate at, yet had a better variety and quality than most others. The hotel staff recommended a wonderful show for us to attend and a tour to Hoover Dam. We would stay here again.”

• Generally open and not stuffy. Air circulation seems a lot better than most.
• Room - Average. Lance Burton, best show value in Vegas.

“Hotel was Average for Vegas Standards. Pool area seemed better before it was improved. Biggest complaint is with the Casino. Less friendly than most and even though it's under MGM, their rules for tracking play (on Players Card) is more steep than all the other Casino's in town. Don't understand. Less likely to return.”

• I did not like the rooms, they were not a four-star quality.

• Front desk was friendly, room seemed clean.
• Room was very shabby. Stains on bathroom tile, snagged bedspread and
  stained carpet.

“I stayed here about twelve years ago when it was new, great and
very nice. I think though, that it has not been properly updated, as the rooms and some of the public areas were worn, stained and otherwise shabby. Staff was friendly and the rooms seemed pretty clean. I just feel that the hotel comes across as more of a three star spot.”

• Good location.
• Old and very simple room, not very clean, not romantic, too much construction around.

“Did not worth the money. Old room, dirty windows, tears in linen, not romantic and not very comfortable. May be good for business but not for romantic vacation in Vegas. Construction around the hotel causes a lot of noise in the pool

• Amazing and comfortable bed with feather pillow top.
• Rooms were very modern for my taste.

“This was a very modern style room. Modern art, glass sinks and shower/toilet stalls etc. If you like that you would like this room. We had a slow shower drain on arrival. It was dealt with immediately and they redid the room for us as a bonus. I did not like the parking distance from the room since it causes some long distance luggage hauling but this is a large hotel and they have (I think) a luggage service near the front where you could drop off and have a bell person do that for you. Being a cheapskate I did the quarter mile hike me. Overall it was a very good experience. The king size bed was awesome. It had a feather topper and my wife and I both had a great nights sleep. I recommend this hotel. The Grand Buffet was also very good but was about $18 during the lunch meal.

• It was attractive and clean.

“No coffee maker in the room. Hotel did not provide enough towels and maids were resistent to give them to us. They told us to "call down" for them. This room did not provide the amenities expected at a 4 star hotel. There was a blaring alarm malfunction at 2:45am, and the staff could have cared less how it affected guests. It was literaly deafening in our room for 20 minutes.”

• Good location for walking on the strip.
• There are Building City Center all around this hotel.

“I would not stay at this hotel again until City Center is open (Nov. 2009). They are currently building City Center on three sides of the Monte Carlo. Construction started daily at 5am, this does not well with the up late night Vegas vacation.”

• Good location.
• Parking ramp closed for construction. Only small lot available.

“Stay was good. Hotel is nice, classy but nothing special. I liked the Casino layout. One big open room and not hard to find games or tables of your choosing. Elevator location very convenient. Lets you out right at the Casino and hotel check-in area. The one big drawback was the fact that the parking ramp is closed as part of the massive City Center construction. There is one public lot right across the street, behind New York. It is not enough. When I asked about it I was told I could use said lot or valet or floors 5-8 of the NY ramp. Not very convenient. Requested a room facing Las Vegas Blvd. So construction was not an issue as far as our room goes. On a side note, the City Center project is the biggest construction site I have ever seen. It is immense. Several 40-50 story towers being built simultaneously.”

Mandalay Bay Hotel Casino
May 29, 2008 by Gerald from Scottsdale

Overall Rating: 4

• Beautiful design.
• Expensive, 40 minute lines for elevators to my room, poor food and high prices.

“There were tremendous lines for everything, including a 45 minute wait for the elevator going up to our room. Our room did not get made up unless we called and then it got done at about 4:00 PM or later. The food quality in every restaurant was terrible and the prices out of sight. Uncooked eggs, rubber bacon, cold dry toast, absolutely terrible. The hotel has too much of everything. The pools are so complicated as to be impossible to understand. The restaurants are spread out all over the place and none of them are good. Cocktail lounges have no servers. You need to go to the bar and get your own $10 drinks. All in all, this experience will keep my away from Vegas for a long, long time, if I ever go back. Kind of reminds me of a really bad cruise ship with very unfriendly crew and passengers.”

Luxor
Jan 21, 2008 by robert from kansas city

Overall Rating: 6

• Location, theme, hot tub.
• Construction, outdated.

“Check-in, on Sunday afternoon, was a mess! I waited in a zigzag line for well over an hour & when I got to the desk, even though I was told (over the phone when planning my trip) a cashiers check was acceptable payment, it was not! They sent me (lugging my heavy suitcases across the casino) to the cashiers cage, to get cash for payment (I didn't plan to use a credit card for payment, I wish I had). I supposedly, upgraded my small spa suite, to a large spa suite & was disappointed. I expected a couch, coffee table, big TV & a view, to lounge around after a full day of site-seeing. Instead, I got a small table, with 2 wobbly chairs around it, a 27 inch TV (that was small, when viewing from the bed) & a view of "The Hotel's" air conditioners. The suite (if you can call it that) was very Spartan indeed, clean (good housekeeping daily), I loved the hot tub (very relaxing), but didn't spend very much time in my room at all, during my trip. The worst part of my stay, was having to zigzag my way through the casino, avoid the ongoing construction project (that completely closed off the center of the casino) several times a day, just to get to & from my room. After getting lost many times (inside the casino), having to ask directions from employees (who would point & say that-a-way) & retracing my steps often, due to bad signage (that diddn't take construction into account) I finally got to know my way around, by the end of my 4 night stay. The Inclinators were a hassle also! I was on the 10th floor & was not expecting a motion ride on every trip. People told me they were no big deal, believe me, they were! Having to hug the right wall at the start of the ride, then the left wall as the ride stopped, in order to keep from falling over, almost made me ill. The motion rides (excluding the inclinators) were lame & outdated. The shops had all the same stuff (if you had seen one of them, you saw them all). The Carrot Top show was way too expensive & always sold out. Even with these few problems I still had a good stay. The location, being at the far side of the strip, was great (everything except Mandalay Bay, was to the North). The valet parking was very useful & the staff very friendly (other than the lady who wouldn't accept my cashiers check). The Best part, was that the Poker Room was within sight of my inclinator. I'd finish every night with their midnight poker tourney (gobbling many free drinks) & wobble my way to my room without a problem. I chose the Luxor because I am very interested by the Egyptian theme, but I hear that they are getting rid of that, in the very near future! Glad I got to see it (at least what was left of it, half way gone) before they completely get rid of the theme.”

Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Gardens
Oct 25, 2007 by Diana from Castle Rock CO

Overall Rating: 10

• The whole atmosphere was delightful, the employees were so nice.
• Candy not sold in Colorado

“What a wonderful place to visit. My husband and I visited Las Vegas on our anniversary. While we were standing in front of the windows in the factory watching the workers I told my husband the staff at Ethel m's were a bit taller then the wonka workers. Well, everybody watching the candy process burst out laughing and the employees on the other side of the glass wondered what we were all laughing at. It was so much fun and educational too. Of course the free samples at the end of the tour added to the whole experience. The cactus gardens were beautiful and we even saw a road runner dashing about the gardens, it was fun!”

• I'm not sure there is one other than everything is cloistered in a smaller area.
• Besides not liking the overhead light show, a lower class of people seems to patronize the area. Left us with an uneasy feeling.

“My husband and I travel 3-4 months of the year, always stopping in Las Vegas along the way. We stay at Sams town RV park. Today (9/16) we took the shuttle to downtown, specifically to see the 7:30 pm overhead light show. It was, unfortunately, one of the worst shows we could have seen. We remember the Fremont street experience when it first opened - that one we certainly enjoyed. The show we saw tonight was absolutely awful. The music - if it could be called music - was a bunch of garbage. The picture(s) that were literally flashing overhead had neither rhyme nor reason to them. At least nothing we could understand. It was so disgusting that we walked away and went into a casino. We later found out that there are a couple of different programs that are presented, but I guess we didnt get to see one of the better ones, if there is such a thing. We both agree that this was the last time we will make a trip to Fremont street/downtown Vegas.”

• Nothing.
• Fraudulent treatment of a paying customer.

“This hotel is a rip off. I booked two rooms for two nights, one in the tower and one in the pyramid. Upon arrival, I was told that unfortunately there were no rooms in the pyramid and she would be happy to upgrade me to the tower for the other room. My wife was not happy, as she wanted our son to stay in the pyramid; after calling the front desk and being told there were no rooms in the pyramid, we grudgingly accepted it and moved on. Upon arriving home and getting the bill, there was an additional charge of $21.80 / night - an upgrade charge! I called the front desk and was told that I had signed a card agreeing to pay an upgrade charge. Nice! The front desk person shoves a piece of paper in front of my nose, smiling all the while, telling me to sign here, initial here, etc. And that's it. So, if you book a room in advance and pay for it in advance, you not only don't get the room you booked but also get the privilege of paying for it! Nice place!”
