Advantages: 4/5 star, great price, good gambling and atmosphere Disadvantages: The Lion enclosure
...My husband and I have just gotten back from a trip to Las Vegas and chose the MGM hotel to stay at so this forms my review.
The MGM is located right on the strip (Las Vegas Boulevard) right by Tropicana Avenue so fairly near one end of the strip. It is located close to the New York New York hotel and there is actually a walkway which joins the two hotels to give you easy access to both.
The hotel in its present form was opened at the end of 1993. Most of the hotels in Las Vegas have a certain them that they like to promote through each of their casinos such at NY NY, Paris, The Venetian etc. The MGM in my opinion is not as heavily themed as the other hotels but follows along the lines of old Hollywood/California movies stars etc with the feature of the MGM lion and movie star photos in the bedrooms.

Advantages: Everything you could want under one (massive) roof Disadvantages: Located at the southern end of "The Strip" - so a bit of a walk to some attractions...
...We stayed at the MASSIVE MGM Grand for a few days this time last year.
The MGM Grand, guarded by a 45-foot-tall bronze lion statue has 5,005 rooms and used to be the largest hotel in the world, a claim recently stolen by the Ambassador City Jomtien hotel in Thailand with 5,100 rooms. It's still the largest hotel in North America, although I think this will soon be stolen by George Clooney's Vegas hotel development...

The MGM Grand is part of the MGM Mirage group, that also owns, among others, The Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island, New York-New York (just across the street) and Beau Rivage hotels/casinos in Vegas.
The first thing...

Advantages: fantastic hotel Disadvantages: none that i can think of!
...I've stayed at this hotel twice now and have just booked up to go back again in december, i really cannot fault it. The hotel is built up of 9 floors and 404 rooms, it offers a range of facilities including a non smoking restaurant, a bar inside and out doors with a large entertainment room, a souvenir shop and also a hairdressing salon for those bad hair days! Outdoors there are 2 fairly large swimming pools and also a childrens pool, with plenty of sun loungers surounding it, one of the good points about tenerife is you are almost guaranteed the good weather. The rooms are very comfortable with large balcony area, plenty of storage space, satelite tv, phone and a seperate bathroom and shower, mini bar and safety deposit boxes are also available on request. The restaurant has a great range of food, to cater for most peope. The hotel is...
