Great place for any Las Vegas virgins like my girlfriend and I. Stayed there this past weekend and LOVED IT!!  We did the check in at the airport and  avoided the long lines at the mgm  lobby. I read as many reviews as I could in the 70 days  before our trip so I knew exactly what to expect. Some of the idiots on here shouldve done the same thing and maybe they wouldn't be bitching about stupid little things like \""omg  the TV in our room wasn't a flat screen!!, OMG we did not have  a coffee maker in our room!!! OMG the water pressure in the bathroom  was weak(turn the knob idiot)!! OMG  we were at the very edge of the strip.\""  Hey MORONS, that's what websites like this one and trip advisor are for.  Quit complaining because you were too stupid to research your trip...\n The rooms were perfectly acceptable. Average size, comfy bed, great view of strip if you ask nicely. We  were lucky enough to  get a room on the 21st floor, next to our friends so no complaints about that.  Reception  on TV was sub par but who's watching TV in Vegas? Casino is really nice and you can hardly smell the smoke. AS previous reviews have stated, casino has a nice perfume to cover smell up. Dining options are a plenty, from $$$$-$. So if you lose tons of money like I did, there is always McDonald's :) \nPool area is overrated.  A bunch of douche bag drunks when I was there and the pool had a disgusting layer of suntan lotion floating above it at all times(In directors pool at least).  Weather was nice but pool needed to be 100 times colder  then the nasty luke warm  temp it was on my one and only trip down there(nice little walk btw)...\n You should def try to catch Ka if you are there(awesome awesome show) you will be amazed!! The theater itself is really cool and not a bad seat in the house.  Oh and here is a tip, If you are on a high floor and the elevator lobby is full, go through the double doors towards the back and get on the elevator that goes to the penthouse because its usually empty.  When you're checking out, get on  an elevator going up instead of down as those will probably be jammed with idiots by the time they get to you. \nWe did have an issue with cleaning staff as I overflowed the john, they took a while to get there and then never cleaned up the mess from the water. No biggy though as we had friends across the way :)  Walls are paper thin though so be aware because you could here your neighbors and vice versa pretty damn good if you are trying to sleep. If you  pass out then I guess it doesn't matter :).... Overall  GREAT HOTEL AND CASINO!!! I did not try the buffet but will try it on my next trip. Fat Tuesday was awesome and you should def visit it 5 or 6 times while you are there!
