PK, MGM Grand is good. Place is big and confusing. They built it to amuse the Asians for some reason.
Well Im half Asian and I get fucking confused there.
But its a nice place. If ya wanna keep things simple since the concert is there MGM is good. But really now days transportation in Vegas on the strip is pretty easy so you are gunna be just fine no matter where you stay. Most the big name hotels there are nice and it really just comes down to personal preference.
We'll be over at the Aladdin. Never stayed there before but heard good things. Seems we are always over at Venetian, Tresure Island, and the Mirage during internext, and in the day Id get comped so well at those places we'd stay no where else. But now that my gambling days are over Ive not taken any comps and we are actually paying to stay at a place with the America West Vacations package deal thingy.
All the good hotels are on the list. Check it out.
Heard someone mention Mandlay Bay, thats also one of my favorites! The pool area is the best in Vegas next to the Hard Rock's Babe infested pool. Mandaly is very family Oriented and so is its pool. Nothing beats it. Especially if you have some young ones. Only drawy back is that its at the end of the strip on its own. To get around can seem a pain in the ass for some. But Mandlay, Luxor and Excalbur are all connected to eachother. And MGM is right across the street and connected via walk overpass to the Excalbur. So in theory they are all connected via walking distance so really any of the properties around the MGM would work.
If ya wanna stay close to the MGM, ya got New york New York across the streed connect by overpass walk way, same with Excalbur (i dont like that place) and connected to that is Luxor. (didnt really like that place either) connected to that is the Mandlay bay (love that place).. On the other side of the street form MGM is the Monte Carlo. Real nice place as well. Used to be one of the best places in town before they build the Beligio and Venitian.
Also down the street from the MGM is the Aladdin, good value there and its a nice place. Next door is the Paris, I heard its nice but it seems the place is all hotel and casino. No shopping or anything else really goin on. Across the street from that is the Beligio. Nice place. Used to get comped there when the MGM properties loved me. They own the Beligio. But truthfully id never pay to stay there. Its really expensive. And for what it is, i dont really find it worth it. Unless there is a killer deal. Make a point to go there after sundown to the Jazz bar that faces the fountain. Its great! No charge, just drinks there. Go there after ya put the kids to sleep. Its a nice place to cap an evening. Relally good entertainment and feel to the place. For got what its called, but its a Jazz bar in the Venitian facing the the watershow.
Also down the street ya got Mirage, TI, Venetian.
If you havent stayed at the Venitan before and can get a good rate do it. I know there are a lot of Venetian haters here on GFY but if its not internext time, and friends and family time the Venetian is a great place.
Damn, seems like im going on and on here.
The point being there are TONS of GREAT places to stay in Vegas.
It really just comes down to personal preference. As always Vegas is what you make of it.
