text: 2.75 stars. \n\nThe MGM Grand is a sprawling behemoth whose 5,000 hotel rooms feature atrocious, inconsistent cleaning service, weak shower pressure, worn furniture, anemic sound proofing, and paltry amenities (most rooms do not even have refrigerators). But, the room service is reasonably priced and remarkably prompt, with food that is better seasoned than expected (the chicken quesadillas are redolent of cinnamon, cocoa, and ground peppers). And, the fainting couches in the rooms are nicely situated and comfortable, while the pools are irresistible. However, there is nothing special about a stay at the MGM except the plethora of excessively expensive restaurants and the moody black and white photos of classic Hollywood stars who stare eerily at you in the middle of the night. And, while saying that you're sweet, the front desk will blame you because you checked into a rumpled, uncleaned room that still isn't clean later that evening. There are much better themed hotel and casino choices in Las Vegas.
