The MGM Grand is Grand Indeed!

Advantages: A fascinating place to visit and so much to see
Disadvantages: One can get worn out just trying to explore the whole hotel

I stayed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for 3 nights and 4 days in August 2008 and can honestly say I had a great time. Please let me warn you that this is a fairly lengthy review of my experience. We got a taxi from the airport to the hotel which cost about $7 which worked out at less than £4 at the time. The first thing you notice about stepping out of the taxi and into the hotel is the fabulous air-conditioning. Vegas in August is VERY hot, well ...
...fabulously spacious lobby of the MGM and feel cooler straight away. On stepping inside the hotel (if you arrive by car) you are greeted by the large gold lion in the centre of the lobby in front of which it seems everyone who goes there for the first time rushes to have their photo taken in front of! As did I and my roommates! Once that first couple of minutes of excitement was over we went to queue at the check in desks of which there were about ...

Caesar's Palace - Great place to stay

Advantages: Very comfortable, friendly and helpful staff
Disadvantages: Celine Dion!

...had an amazing time at Caesars Palace. Having spent 5 days on the strip, the three hotels i would recommend are Caesars Palace, The Venetian and the Belaggio, this is where i would choose to stay if i were travelling again. Caesars had a great layout, the lobby was beautiful, the gaming areas were comfortable and the waitresses great. We ate our buffet breakfast at Caesars most mornings, we tried a few other places, but decided it was the best value ...
...Caesars which really has to be seen to be believed. Like the Venetian, if you like high end fashion, with designer labels, then this is the place for you. Having said that, amoungst these designers, you'll find FAO Schwartz, gift shops, Nike, Planet Hollywood and all sorts. Being in the shopping mall is a little unnerving, as when its daylight outside, its dusky inside, with a false ceiling. Our room was nice, we had a view of The Mirage and the ...

Review of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas

Everything Vegas should be!

Advantages: Room size, brilliant swimming pools, staff and the fountain show!
Disadvantages: absolutely nothing

After a 2 week roadtrip of average motels and national park lodges, our 4 nights in Vegas were luxurious! We booked into the Bellagio purely because of Ocean's 11 and it was the perfect end to our roadtrip. From the moment we arrived, we had excellent service. The porters didn't flinch when they saw our 4 giant suitcases and 2 huge water bottles (we'd been convinced we'd breakdown in death valley!) and check-in was really speedy. The concierge was ...
...helicopter tour of grand canyon. We stayed in a quad room which was perfectly sized for us and the bathroom was amazing - all 4 of us could fit in the shower with room to spare! and we had a great view over the swimming pools. I can't think of anything bad to say about this hotel, it was perfect Vegas - glitzy, lively and yet not overly "cheesy". Of all the hotels we visited while we were there, the Bellagio was by far the smartest. The fountain ...

Vegas Virgins?

Advantages: Centrally Located, Great Views, It's In Las Vegas
Disadvantages: None

...There was also a Mirage employee moving people into lines for most efficiency. In our line there was a couple being checked-in when we arrived and one couple in front of us. Within 15 minutes we were being tended to. Our names were taken and we were quickly told that our room was ready. After a 10 hour flight, we were happy about that. Our own check-in was uneventful. Our credit card details were checked to be sure we had booked the room. (You have ...
...the petite suite at the Mirage was because it had 2 bathrooms. YES, you read right! 2 BATHROOMS- His and Hers. The room door is actually French doors that open into a marble floor and mirrored foyer. There is a wet bar that includes a sink, drinking glasses, wine glasses, ice bucket, fridge and mini-bar. Please note that the mini-bar is very expensive. We knew how mini-bars can be in Vegas and asked for it to be locked when we checked in. This was ...

Review of Mirage Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas

Venice and Gambling all under one roof!

Advantages: Absolutely amazing quality
Disadvantages: Themed so it can put off certain customers

...trip was to gamble. The Venetian is right up there with the best of them. Prices are much the same as the rest of on strip Vegas, although the Venetian would probably be towards the dearer end of the scale. Like all hotels though, you can get deals at various times of the year and so the price fluctuates. The floor is massive, and at first I was getting lost all the time, All Vegas casino floors are jam packed with slots, which as a "European" gambler, ...
...The Venetian is great for roulette as it has a European wheel table and unlike other casinos, all the roulette tables are in one place so you can have a wander round and watch people gambling as well as going in yourself. For me, half the fun of Vegas is watching others gamble, and so being able to wander round all the tables which line all the main walkways was great fun for me. But roulette is my preference so Venetian wins hands down for this ...
