With more than 5,000 hotel rooms in four 30-story towers, 170,000-square-feet of casino space and a 6.6-acre pool complex, the MGM takes the “Grand” in its name seriously. Even the entrance looms large with its icon, a 45-foot-tall, 100,000-pound bronze lion (the largest bronze statue in the country), greeting guests from atop a 25-foot pedestal. The swankiest accommodations are found in the 29 private villas in the Mansion at MGM Grand (usually only available to the highest of rollers) and the 51 two-story SKYLOFTS, which are considered a separate boutique hotel at the top of the MGM Grand and offer particularly sleek accommodations, not to mention access to a Maybach to take you around town. Also considered a boutique-hotel addition, The Signature at MGM Grand comprises three separate non-gaming towers with their own concierge service and condominium-style accommodations. In the more down-to-earth room category, the rooms in the West Wing offer modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs, pillow-top beds and body pillows.
