MGM Grand Hotel and Casino

When walking into the MGM Grand, guests are shown a brief glimpse of "Old Hollywood." With the 156,000-square foot casino adoring pictures of stars from Hollywood's golden age, visitors are always in the presence of greatness. The $1 billion resort opened in 1993 and holds 2,650 slot machines and 200 gaming tables. Within the casino sits the Lion Habitat that allows guests a 360 degree view of real lions playing, sleeping and eating.

The hotel has 5,034 rooms that range from the average standard two-bed room to luxurious suites that suit any person's desires. The Signature at MGM Grand is a brand new tower that offers its guests impeccable service and incredible suites, some are even equipped with private balcony. The MGM also has fine signature restaurants that include tastes from all around the world.



Restaurants like Joël Robuchon or L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon give diners a taste of fine French cuisine, while Seablue and Nobhill offer the freshest seafood. For a taste of New Orleans guests can dine at Emeril's, or for an Asian sensation, guests can visit Pearl for sophisticated Chinese cuisine or Shibuya for fantastic and stylish Japanese dining.

MGM also offers entertainment ranging from Cirque du Soleil's "KÀ," to the sensuous MGM Grand's "Crazy Horse Paris." Studio 54 and Tabù Ultra Lounge are the two prominent nightclubs at MGM, each offering their own taste of swanky Las Vegas nightlife.
