Recently remarried and spent my honeymoon at the MGM (with one rather unfortunate night at Excalibur, also). Stayed in the newly renovated West Wing, which is the old Emerald Tower updated. Here's a brief overview:
Pluses: The king bed was extraordinary, extremely comfortable, so much so it was difficult to get out of it (insert your own honeymoon joke here). The shower was marvelous, also. It's huge with a hand wand in addition to the large, powerful spray from the wall. Frankly, I could have spent more time in here and been very happy. Other good things: huge nightstands that accommodate a lot of things, a huge lighted closet and a neat little plasma TV tucked into the mirror of the bathroom.
Minuses: There is absolutely no counter space in the bathroom. They've put in a series of shelves to the floor, but it's simply not enough. The toilet is its own tiny glass room, which made both of us feel like we were in a public bathroom. And the room is very dark, with one window that is covered; ours overlooked a courtyard area.
Overall: It's nice, we'd probably stay here again, largely because the bed and the shower made up for the other things. Frankly, when we're in Vegas, most of what we do in the room revolves around the bed and the shower anyway, so why not? This is a non-traditional, "modern" room. If that doesn't appeal to you, stay away.
The MGM continues to be a good value, in my opinion. The staff is courteous and I've never had an issue with not getting what I'd reserved or requested. I'm by no means a high roller, but I'm comfortable here. This was my wife's first visit to the MGM and she was impressed. They've updated the casino quite a bit since I was here in 2004, adding a new bar and poker area and completely updating the sportsbook. Keno has somehow disappeared; not sure why. There's a great new restaurant called "Diego" that should be tried. Really great Mexican food.
