Startle

The Four-Star Signature at MGM Grand stands out in the Las Vegas crowd. There’s a lot to like about the property, but we’ve narrowed it to these five things:

1. It’s a non-gaming hotel. That’s right, there isn’t a casino within The Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas. The Signature is part of the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, with plenty of gaming floor, so if you’re looking to spend some time at the slots, just take the moving walkway. No casino in the lobby means you can bypass all the noise and smoke, trading it for a more tranquil setting. This is perfect for an older set who want to bypass the party people or for children who you may not be ready to be introduced to the wonderful world of gaming.

2. The pools are terrific. The Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas has three separate pools, one for each of the three towers, which are only available for guests of Four-Star hotel. You’ll need a key card to get access the quiet pool area, where there’s a lifeguard and attendants pass out towels. If the pool party is more your style, head to Wet Republic within the MGM Grand.

3. The hotel feels exclusive. When you pull into The Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas’s private drive, you’ll feel like a movie star. After they check to make sure you’re a guest, you’ll be whisked inside. You can even bypass checking in and do it at the airport. As you exit the south baggage claim at McCarran International Airport, you can check in and get your room keys right there. You can even make restaurant reservations or get your luggage transferred if you can’t make it to hotel right away — the simple touches make you feel like a VIP.

4. Great restaurants are at your fingertips. While there’s just a deli located in Tower 2 of The Signature, you’re just a few moving walkways away from some of the best restaurants on the Strip, or even in the world. You’ll find eateries from celebrity chefs including Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak and Michael Mina’s Nobhill Tavern and Seablue. There’s also the MGM Grand Buffet, Rainforest Café and The Grand Wok and Sushi Bar along with in-room dining and other places to grab a coffee or quick bite, like Starbucks, Cabana Grill and Studio Café.

5. You can get a balcony. It’s hard to find a hotel room in Las Vegas with a balcony or terrace, but they are available at The Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas. Book a one-bedroom balcony suite or two-bedroom suite to get this luxe feature. Trust us, it’s worth it.
