A roaring MGM Lion mascots in front of the four emerald-green, fortress like towers of the MGM Grand, one of the largest hotels in the world. Tony bars, trendy nightclubs, and the impressive Grand Garden Arena, which hosts big name music concerts and championship boxing matches. When it comes to dining, MGM ranks among the city's top casino hotels, with eateries run by such noted chefs as Emeril Lagasse, Tom Colicchio, and Michael Mina.

The Kids will enjoy the lion habitat on the casino's west perimeter; there's also a complete day-care facility for the kids. The MGM Grand has a Las Vegas Strip Monorail Station on the property.

HOTEL: Rooms in these four 30 story towers come in nine varieties. Standard rooms have art deco accents and are average size. Farther up the line, the various types of suites are more stylish and striking, and offer all sorts of fun perks: the 650-square-foot Bungalow suites are fitted with black and white Italian marble bathrooms; slightly larger Celebrity Spa suites add whirlpool tubs with separate showers, and corner Premiere suites (nearly 1,000 square feet!) come with four-person dining areas and two TVs. At the very high end, two-story Terrace suites have 14 foot vaulted ceilings, and the 1,500 square foot Marquee suites offer a pair of bedrooms and master baths with gigantic mirrored hot tubs done in white marble. Few resorts in the world have a bigger or bolder pool and sunbathing area -- a maze of pedestrian bridges, fountains, river courses, and waterfalls lends a tropical air to these popular grounds.

CASINO: The biggest of the Las Vegas casinos, the MGM Grand has a staggering amount of gaming space, which includes 3,500 slot machines and 165 table games with high minimums for blackjack and roulette mostly starting at $10; you might find a $5 table in the afternoon if you look hard enough. The Strip entrance is slot heavy, with a trendy new bar called Centrifuge replacing an old live music lounge that elevated its bands over players. A separate high roller casino falls in the middle of the long hike to the "restaurant row," the Grand Garden arena, and massive sports book with movie-size screens, on the east side. Wheelchair guests will appreciate the spacious aisles and well spaced slot machines.
