text: This place is huge, we definitely got exercise walking around. \n\nThe room was adequate, not the best in Vegas but not the worst. \n\nParanoid complaint, I need to just start calling down and have them remove the shit. They have a little pad next to the TV with crap on it, like a $30 USB cord, that if the stuff gets moved you get charged for it plus a $50 restocking fee. I saw these when I stayed at the Bellagio as well. I have never had anything happen, but I would hate to bump the stand in the middle of the night and get charged more than the cost of the room for crap I would never buy. \n\nThe entire hotel has a smell about it, it is a sickeningly sweet vanilla fragrance that hangs in the air everywhere. I would almost prefer the smell of smoke over that. \n\nThe room had a noisy air conditioner that sounded like the compressor was a diesel engine about to stall out. \n\nConstantly while we were trying to get around they had staircases closed for cleaning and aromafying. \n\nWorse, I was there for a convention, which provided meals. These were awful. There was nothing good to say about the food there. I cannot say if they were trying to get people to eat at their restaurants instead, but wow it was bad. When we did eat on our own, it was not at MGM Grand restaurants. \n\nStarting with Day 1 lunch, some soggy sandwiches, I took  \"thanksgiving\" which is the new popular turkey with stuffing and cranberry. Not really good by any measure. Seemed like they had been sitting for a long time. \n\nDay 1 dinner - Black tie - So they come around and sit down trays on the tables, WTF family style black tie event, that is a first. So we are sitting at 10 tops and the platters have 2 tiny pieces of beef and 3 pieces of chicken, the table gets 2 platters. Plus a small bowl of mashed potatoes that I could eat myself. When we asked for more the server gave us grief, but eventually provided more meat and potatoes. \n\nDay 2 breakfast - convention eggs, you know the scrambled egg mix with no taste, bacon, sausage, and a peach pancake casserole. \n\nDay 2 lunch - more sammiches... didn't eat any.\n\nDay 2 dinner - buffet style taquitos, carved roast beef and turkey & stuffing, This was the best meal of the trip\n\nDay 3 breakfast - soggy croissant breakfast sandwiches with a little bit of scrambled egg and a little piece of bacon or a chibatta with a little egg and sausage. \n\nEverything was pretty bland and tasted old.
