MGM Rooms Update request for those headed there.

Back in June one of my sources told me the remodel of rooms had started and they were on the 28th floor, headed down.

Could any of you headed for the MGM, please ask the front desk, or bellmen, how far the remodel is, so we can get accurate info to all that need it in the future? The report back here.

Your help will be appreciated by TA members who need this info for their upcoming stays.

Thank you in advance! =)

MGM Rooms Update request for those headed there.

You know, I%26#39;ve stayed in 3 rooms at MGM and I didn%26#39;t think any of them were in need of ';remodeling';. Why spend money on this at this time?

MGM Rooms Update request for those headed there.

Stratton, I agree with you 100%. I like the look of the MGM rooms. And now that they%26#39;ve upgraded all the beds and bedding, I%26#39;m quite comfortable there. Anyone who has seen my pics of all the different suites, knows that none of the rooms I stayed in looked tired. All were clean and well kept.

I also know they%26#39;ve changed some of their slots, and last year put down new Casino carpet.

The entire West Wing and Skylofts have been remodeled. But there are those that aren%26#39;t happy, unless they know the rooms have been updated. And some have reported wear and tear.

I have to admit it%26#39;s been a while since I%26#39;ve stayed in a Grand Tower room, and those probably get the most traffic.

I%26#39;d just like some more recent help from any TA member to help those people who need a remodeled room.

Even though I agree there%26#39;s no need to remodel the MGM had planned on starting very late this year. But in June, my favorite bellman told me because the MGM expects to be slow the rest of the year, they had started remodeling early. That way they%26#39;d have a jump on Next Year when things might pick up. (This was said in June)

I%26#39;m just tired of saying ';when I was there in June'; I want to provide more updated info is all.

But the MGM thanks you for your support =)

Maybe not remodeling like the Mirage desperately needed, just some overall maintenance....like the seams in the carpet that were seperating and I kept tripping over and the vanitiy mirror that fell off the wall (exposing several huge holes were molly screws showed tell tale signs that prior ';repairs'; were attempted) and the sliding closet door that would not slide.

I just got an e-mail offer with $59 rates on a lot of dates at MGM - for that price, I would bring my own screw driver and duct tape (TSA may inspect my bag, but what the hey...LOL).

lol U2. With what VHM said about MC, maybe they might trade you work for room rates! =)

LOW, I%26#39;ll report back. I%26#39;m staying there, first time during the Mega. I can give you a first visit rundown/opinion. I%26#39;ll even take pics.

Thanks alot Va!

Pics and an update would be awesome!

Every hotel needs regular maintenance to address those types of things. I have no doubt that most Vegas hotels cut corners on maintenance routinely, which is why you can have a beautiful room right next to one that seems run-down.

However, I find astonshing the attitude among some frequent Vegas visitors that if a hotel%26#39;s rooms haven%26#39;t been completely remodeled within the last 5 years, they are ';worn'; or ';outdated';. I don%26#39;t know of any other city in the world where people would turn their noses up at a nice hotel room just because the rooms were 15 years old.

When I stayed there in Sept 07, carpet in my room was not good and I hated the bathroom, reminded me of an old motel one. Low is right, new beds are very good,though!

It%26#39;s been 8 years since the Grand Tower rooms were remodeled. In Vegas ';time'; that is at least 10 years.

I called MGM Grand 2 months ago and also 5 minutes ago and both times they said No they have not started renovating the Grand Tower rooms and there is no date scheduled for them to start renovating them.

Luxor opened in 1993 and since then they have not renovated those pyramid rooms. I called Luxor and they said they were scheduled TWICE to remodel the pyramid rooms and both times it has been postponed with no scheduled date to start renovating them.

IMO this is why you have seen hotels like Riviera, Circus Circus, IP, Sahara, Tropicana, ect. go from halfway nice hotels to scary places 5-10 years later, and NICE hotels like Monte Carlo, Ballys, Rio ,Luxor, ect. turn into so so hotels 5-10 years later. Las Vegas seems to be having problems keeping their huge hotels in good condition when times are good(economy), and may have a worse time keeping them up when times are bad(economy).

why doesn%26#39;t someone just call the front desk or bellmen? Anyone on any given day can get this much needed info quite simply. No need to wait for someone to go to the MGM and post here.
