Why you should go…

A 45-foot bronze lion marks the entrance to this Strip resort, which opened in 1993 and has 4,762 rooms. Inside you find a 171,500-square-foot casino, the MGM Grand Garden Arena with about 15,200 seats, and resident shows including Cirque du Soleil's Ka and magician David Copperfield. Out back, a 6.5-acre pool complex runs a 1,000-foot lazy river past waterfalls and bridges.

Good to know

General stay guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Rates swing with the calendar

    Midweek nights and shoulder-season dates are usually the kindest on price.

  • Read what is included

    Parking, resort fees, and breakfast are the three extras that most often land on the final bill.

  • Ask at booking, not at the desk

    Early check-in, late checkout, and room preferences go further when you request them in advance.

  • On a short trip, location wins

    What you can reach on foot from the door matters more than the amenities list.
