***The Signature at MGM Grand is a good option if you are looking for an un-Vegas like hotel on The Strip***\n\nThe Strip is filled with mostly resort and casino combinations that are themed and/or upscale. Recently though, new properties have been emerging to offer an un-Vegas like experience. No casino hotels. No smoking hotels. I have not stayed at many of these hotels (The Mandarin, Vdara), but my most recent Vegas stay was at The Signature at MGM Grand (which is business friendly and not like the mega casinos on The Strip). The Signature is filled with spacious condos that are complete with kitchenettes, whirlpool bathtubs and (in some rooms) balconies.\n\nThe Signature is located in the back of the MGM Grand. It is attached to the MGM Grand via many airport-like automated walkways. The hotel has very limited services. There is a small lounge as well as an order-at-the-counter cafe. For more dining options or expensive convenience store items, you are going to need to make the long trip to the MGM Grand. This hotel does have its own pool as well as a 24-hour fitness center though it was difficult getting an open machine in the morning.\n\nThe rooms at The Signature are nice. The decor is up-to-date enough and the rooms are comfortable and very spacious. Rooms come with kitchenettes, a big living area and a table (this creates a great pre-going out spot). Rooms are also equipped with safes. Room temperature was nice.\n\nThere were a few minor negatives in the room. It was difficult turning the TV off (it kept turning itself back on). There were some missing items like no hotel directory to provide information on location of business center, fitness center and such. No laundry bag either.\n\nBathrooms are very big here. Each room comes with a huge whirlpool tub as well as a big glass shower. Unfortunately, the shower head had a very concentrated blast and not the widespread rain-like shower head many hotels are now featuring. Getting the perfect water temperature in the shower was not easy either.\n\nService was fine.\n\nRoom rates at The Signature are typically higher than the MGM Grand, but they are not too expensive when compared to other similar properties along The Strip and it is less expensive than several of the upscale resorts on The Strip.\n\nI think how much you like The Signature is going to depend on what you are looking for in a Las Vegas hotel. If you are looking for a good value room that is big and great for gatherings (as well as not next to a smoky casino), The Signature is a really good option. If you want a more themed hotel as well as something that is convenient and a quick walk to the many other Las Vegas casinos, The Signature is probably not where you want to stay.\n\nI personally like having some of the niceties of The Signature like the big rooms and the non-smoking property, but given how far it is from The Strip, I would much rather stay at the Renaissance for a more business-like and less Vegas-like hotel experience, where I am getting the lower room rate as well as earning Marriott Rewards points.\n\nComplimentary valet parking is offered. If you want complimentary self parking, you will need to park at the MGM Grand's parking structure, which is a very long walk to The Signature.
