We stayed at The Signature at MGM Grand on the Penthouse 37th Floor in a Junior Suite, which we were able to check into at the airport. (That was very convenient.) The bed was so comfortable and the room had a fabulous view of the strip. It also had a small kitchenette, and we purchased light breakfast food, frozen pizzas, mac & cheese, bread and lunch meat, soda and lemonade the day we arrived at CVS. We saved about $300 just doing this instead of eating out for breakfast and lunch all week. The private pool and hot tub was very quiet (unlike the adjoining MGM Grand, which was louder and had a lazy river ride) and the concierge service took care of arranging all the details for the shows we saw during our stay. However, guests of The Premier are allowed to use any of the amenities, like the lazy river ride and larger pool, discount tickets to shows, etc. at the MGM Grand if they choose to.
The MGM Grand also has a wedding chapel. I stopped in to see what it costs to get married in Las Vegas at the F0rever Grand at MGM. For $800, you can get a wedding chapel for up to 70 guests; a photographer that will sell you 12 photos; a minister; pre-recorded music; one bouquet; one boutonniere; and a limo ride to city hall to buy your marriage license. Packages go up to $5,000. Rooms at the MGM start at $169 per night. Including flight, you'd be looking at a minimum of $1200 to elope to Las Vegas.
While in Vegas, we saw two live shows: The Crazy Horse Paris, which was very tastefully done for a cabaret show, and "O" Cirque du Soleil's resident show at Bellagio. This show was absolutely amazing. This video from You Tube shows the 1.5 million gallon tank that was in the theater (yes, a THEATER!) and used during the performance. It was worth every penny! We also did a Nielsen review and focus group of the new NBC show, Mike and Molly, which premieres on network TV in a few weeks.
