1st time staying at the MGM

Ok people, my girl has always wanted to stay here, and I%26#39;ve just made reservations for two nights. Along with some other goodies, they gave us a $35 dining credit.

May I first ask where should we eat here?

Next let me ask what I should know about the MGM.

Thanks!

The staff is rude and the place is huge. Also the MGM does not have the ideal location on the strip.

1st time staying at the MGM

I would have to disagree. I thought it was in a great place on the strip. You are so convenient to NYNY, Excalibur and Tropicana. Plus the monorail stops here. We love the MGM. The pool area is great spot to nap at (after being up all night) and have a poolside drink. Have a great time!

Have you guys and gals ever eaten at any of the MGM restaraunts? I%26#39;m curious about the food items and the prices....

Also wondering if there are any nice attractions other than the Lions and the pool?

The Studio Cafe is a good place to have a nice lunch (if it is still there). Good selection of sandwiches, burgers, etc...

I think the Lions are the only real attraction there. I hear they have done quite a bit of renovation since I was last there in June, 2004. New sportsbook, news bars/clubs, etc...

Nice hotel. They have a wide range of upscale restaurants that are probably described on their website. $35 won%26#39;t go too far, believe me, even at the MGM 24-hour cafe (Studio Cafe). There even a basic breakfast for two (egg platter, coffee, juice) will run you $30 with tip.

Thanks for the help so far!

Keep those responses coming please!!!
