MGM always has a special place in my heart...Even if I haven't stayed there is years, it's always my first!!! This was the epitome of Vegas decades ago... Jus so BIG, almost 'GRAND' amazing large check in, huge floor, multiple pools, fast food to the best restaurant. I understand the size is not for everyone... but if YOU REALLY WANT TO EXPERIENCE VEGAS, this is the place!
“Best all around hotel” Coolist said the exact same thing about a year ago about the MGM Grand. Thx for the video! Thinking about staying here for an upcoming trip
Hi Jorge; that was a great review! I began staying at the MGM for at least 23 years ago! I love it, as being one of the original resorts on the Strip. I then fell in love with The Signature at MGM Grand, the one bedroom suite balcony has awesome views from Tower One of the Strip, and will blow your mind! There is nothing else like it; listening to the city at night and watching the lights and even the air traffic, just being outside! Walk the bridge from The Signature to MGM's The District, and then out to the Strip. The next time you go there, stop and grab the hot wings at Tap Sports Bar. Trust me. CAB 😊
I enjoy staying at the MGM Signature in a one bedroom 950 square foot room with two bathrooms, kitchen, and a balcony. Non gaming but full use of the MGM pool. Great videos, thank you.
Technically you're walking in MGM for a lot longer than you think since they own half of Vegas the other half is caesars and caesars palace is Huge as well
Love it here! You pretty much have everything you need all in one place..pool is awesome.. the only negative thing I can say is the lazy river closes too early .. also hit a jackpot ! 🎉
I stayed there in 2021. Loved the pool area. We stayed at Park MGM in May of this year. We foolishly thought we could go to the pools at MGM Grand and we couldn't 😢. Saw the Jabbawockeez twice in 2021 and once this year LOVED the show each time. Also ate at International Smoke. Great food. Next time I come back I'm booking at MGM Grand just for the pool alone 😊
So I have been staying at the MGM for like the last 10 years, and have been getting a stay well room since it's inception I guess. You cant beat the comfort. Beds are comfortable, the heppa filter helps with my allergies, i sleep better. The Vitamin C infused shower really does make your skin feel better not so dry. International smoke has the most amazing Korean Prime Rib Short Rib, with rice and kimchi on the side. I had a smoke infused old fashioned, great drink. Tom Colichios Craftsteak is my wife and myselfs go to steakhouse. I used to go to the pool, but as I get older I prefer to stay away from the crowds. The Grand Wok is a very good restaurant. The buffet has gone down since covid, but you can always get a good breakfast there. Wolfgang Pucks is also very good. Gambling has been bad last 2 trips, but thats been everywhere. All the casinos have tightened up the machines, and raised table limits, to where most people wont play anymore table games. But the MGM has always been one of our favorite resorts to stay at for all of our trips the last few years. I will be back there in September on a guys trip. Great video, good reviews and you captured the essence of the resort.
I usually stay at park unless I get extra comps I will take them to NYNY. just caught the knights big win last week! was amazing. Need to come back asap! glad you shared this video, I never really hang at MGM!
I stayed here a few years ago. It's a great property but the walk to the room was just a bit too much for me to want to stay again. Last week I was staying in a StayWell room in another property and it's the first time in 20 or so trips to Vegas that I have woken up not feeling dehydrated due to the AC being on all night. I'll be booking them specifically in future.
I stayed there when it first opened and I still have a photo of myself with The Wizard of Oz statues that are gone now. I also have an OZ pin I wear occasionally.
The only real issue with MGM is being almost the very last hotel on the strip, though it's a perk it's close to all that retail when you forget your toothbrush or want to load up on the booze.
I always considered the MGM to be a little underrated by a lot of folks. Always enjoyed staying there. Yes it's big, but everything in Vegas is big and there is a multitude of options in the hotel so the size comes with some benefits. You are correct on the the buffet, it's a definite pass.
I used to love MGM Grand, but I walked through it in April and it smelled strongly like ashtrays and regret. No attempt to freshen that air in the casino is a no for me. 😩 The positive I see here is they actually have the advertised Stay Well diffuser in the room, unlike Aria which removed them almost as quickly as they installed them. But then you said the room smelled like sushi, soooo yikes! Still some cool things to do there, I just won't hang in that casino. Also the monorail is SO run down now - the stations are cracked and sad. Hopefully one day the city will get all that updated.
Nah. We use to stay at MGM Grand exclusively but the service has been subpar lately. Wolfgang Puck. My salad was sandy and my steak skewers had had on them. The manager could care less. Not a huge fan of their slot selection and layout either. Love the lazy river and pool area though. Aria is our go-to property now.
MGM is super crowded. Lots of families with children, dogs and crying babies. Lots of walking to get to anything and then expect long and very slow lines. Very noisy in the hotel hallways all day and night. Had to run the shower for 5 minutes before the water got warm.
MGM properties have entered the stage of "nickle and dime our customers to death". Just 10 years ago it was absolutely feasible to stay at the property, eat on site at the property for the majority of your meals and still go home feeling like the money you spent was worth the stay. That is not the case now. I'm sure this is probably the case with all the competing major properties ie: Wynn, Caesars - but I only gamble at MGM properties for the sole purpose of using my yearly earned comps at the properties to minimize the wallet shock. Just myself and my son for breakfast on property it is no less than 35-45 dollars JUST TO EAT BREAKFAST on property restaurants. This was pancakes and a burger. Lmao. I don't expect to go to Vegas and not spend. I also don't expect to go to Vegas and spend 20 dollars on pancakes and sausage. The pool is wonderful, especially the lazy river - my kid loves it. 8 dollars for a can of beer? Ridiculous. The margarita you bought in your video? 30 dollars. LMFAO. If you have zero comps available your out of pocket expense while eating and drinking ON PROPERTY is gonna be 175-200 dollars a day. Thats what i was spending in accrued comps with just myself and my kid and we only ate breakfast and dinner and spent the majority of the day at the pool. The only reasonable cost at the pool were the nachos and chicken tenders. They are more than enough for 2 people to enjoy for the price. I hate that i sound like Scrooge McDuck but a middle class family can't reasonably expect to go to Vegas and not come home feeling broke and that just shouldn't happen and didn't happen until the last 3-5 years.
Are those the same Jabbawockeez guys who've been around for nearly 20 years? Aren't they getting a little long in the tooth by now? Gonna be the Jabbawheeleez soon. 👨🦽👨🦽👨🦽
The original crew pretty much just run the business and have a younger crew that dances even some of their kids are in the crew... The OGs will show up but you probably have to pay a lot more
LOL!!!! "Not gonna lie, your boy is pretty lit." "I hope it was sushi!" Classic lines Jorge. So cool bro!
Appreciate it!!
Walking from parking to Hakkasan be a workout 🤣
Walking anywhere at MGM is a mission
❤️😀Awesome Vegas Video! Keep up the Great Hard Work! 💯💯💯

I appreciate you for all the great info, I’m staying at MGM TOMORROW! Yay!
Have fun!
Nice variety and lots of fun Thanks!
Yes loved it. I just love the size and the atmosphere that goes with it
Yeah it's a party

Very nice!
Always like your videos 👍👍 MGM Grand is such a monstrous property.
It sure is
Thanks for this vlog. Have an amazing weekend. Cheers.
Good video. Thanks!
Great video tour. The food looked amazing.
You are a great narrator/interviewer you definitely have me interested
Not only does his subscriber count increase, he also becomes so much more attractive AF when he's lit! Great work! Love your vids!
Lmao thanks
Fun video Jorge!
Thanks Parker!
The only thing I dislike about MGM, is it’s just too big. Lots of walking. Takes about 15 minutes to walk down to the Uber station from room.
Soooo truue
@@Vegas-Must-Try I think that's a plus.
Try getting to the monorail
@@lblum610Yep.
Technically you're walking in MGM for a lot longer than you think since they own half of Vegas the other half is caesars and caesars palace is Huge as well
Well shot! 🎥 📸
Thanks bro
Great video as always Jorge! Is there anything on affordable restaurants on strip? The hotel restaurants seem crazy expensive! Thanks😊
There's a couple of cheap spots on the strip but I'd say Ellis Island is the best
Great review 😊
Would like to know about some breakfast options. That would be nice. Thank you for your videos.
Thanks!your video was awesome!! It helped me decide !!! I'll be heading out to Las Vegas on September!!! Greetings from Virginia!!!!!!
relaxing stay with fun activities nice!
Love it here! You pretty much have everything you need all in one place..pool is awesome.. the only negative thing I can say is the lazy river closes too early .. also hit a jackpot ! 🎉
Good vlog. Everything looks delish. I like the words "your just here to sleep.. Hmm" ..Ty for sharing ❤
Yeah i was like mm maybe not everyone
I stayed there in 2021. Loved the pool area. We stayed at Park MGM in May of this year. We foolishly thought we could go to the pools at MGM Grand and we couldn't 😢.

They should have cross use pools huh
It’s good to know you can’t use the pool at the grand if you stay at park mgm
@rubenalvarez6862 yes I wish I had known. We got there and were turned away immediately.
First time I went to MGM I didn't leave for 2 days lol... Place is huge
I'm still there

Nice vid
MGM Grand definitely best all around hotel. Just would like to see the rooms get an update.
SAME
Thanks bro, and we’re only in the room to sleep, shower and other things 😂
😂😂😂
I stayed there when it first opened and I still have a photo of myself with The Wizard of Oz statues that are gone now. I also have an OZ pin I wear occasionally.
I have never stayed at MGM grand, the room looks really nice and the price is very reasonable.
Yup rooms are decent enough
Yass! Jorge in trunks! 💪🏻🫵🏻❤️🥰
Yessirski
The only real issue with MGM is being almost the very last hotel on the strip, though it's a perk it's close to all that retail when you forget your toothbrush or want to load up on the booze.
Yeah it's in the south
You are so talented
YUMMTASTICALLLLL!!!
You know it!

Maybe a good place to visit but not stay?
@@Vegas-Must-Try for me personally, unless it was a specific restaurant or lounge, I don't think I'd be exploring much again.
Dude! The way you ate those Ribs was Impressive.
Thanks Rich!
LOVE IT
Room looked good i would love to stay at MGM one day but it's really pricey
They got some cheap ones bro
@@Vegas-Must-Try really always thought they were super expensive
one of the best hotel. cheap, non smoke, food has variety.
It's really a juggernaut
Always gotta take the hook up lol good vibes
YUP why not!
Just stayed there and it really needs an update….I’ll be staying at the Wynn and Fontainebleau again for next time lol
Damn your rich
5:04 😂 😂
👌🏼
Those ribs were not fall off the bone lol you pulled the bone out, the meat didn't fall off... could tell it wasn't tender enough to fall off the bone
Nah. We use to stay at MGM Grand exclusively but the service has been subpar lately. Wolfgang Puck. My salad was sandy and my steak skewers had had on them. The manager could care less. Not a huge fan of their slot selection and layout either. Love the lazy river and pool area though. Aria is our go-to property now.
Good to know!
can you literally take any rubber ring/innertube of your own to the pool and use it on the lazy river???
Great vid! I definitely want to check out their pool complex!
You should! It's dope
International Smoke is Issa Curry's restaurant. There is one in SF. Heard it is good. The Curry's love to eat. Lol
Good to know!
Stay well rooms MGM Grand. The most progressively designed architecture.
Hey my guy I'll be there Saturday the 17th I got reservations at mas por favor at 7 pull up! I got u
MGM is super crowded. Lots of families with children, dogs and crying babies.
Lots of walking to get to anything and then expect long and very slow lines.
Very noisy in the hotel hallways all day and night. Had to run the shower for 5 minutes before the water got warm.
Buffet used to rock. Now Luxor and Excalibur is better n cheaper.
Not luxor lol
Do the signature mgm next bro
Been thinking about that one!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
!!!
How are y’all getting these hotels so cheap?
It's eating half a rack of ribs like a slice of pizza for me.
🐾
"I HOPE IT WAS SUSHI" 🤣😂😅💀🤢
🫣😂
It’s not a Chinese game. It’s just a Chinese theme slot machine
room is only for sleep and sushi
Sushi making with no fish
congrats on the wedding. Which hotel got the honor of the first post marriage smash?
None! lol but we stayed at Fontainebleau
My least favorite property , I get lost EVERY time I go in there lol
Lol… the room is for sleeping or hummm…😋😋😛

Hahaha yessir

Travel ruby needs to quit drinking

@@Vegas-Must-Try she needs to quit the bottle before mr ruby finds himself a showgirl
Just so you know, "fall of the bone" ribs mean they are over cooked
So much yummy food in this video. Im hungy now
😋
