MGM Grand Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
3799 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada
The largest hotel in the world when it opened in 1993, the MGM Grand is a Las Vegas mainstay known for its green façade and original “old Hollywood” theme. It’s one of the busiest hotels on the Strip with thousands of rooms and dozens of restaurants, bars, and live entertainment venues.
MGM Grand’s top attraction is its MGM Grand Garden Arena, which has been hosting Vegas’ biggest events since the mid-’90s. Professional boxing championships are often the most sought-after tickets, but college sports, award shows, and concerts by major stars like Carrie Underwood also take place there. Additional entertainment at the hotel includes the magic of David Copperfield, the Cirque du Soleil show “KA,” and Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club.
Drinking and dining are in no short supply at MGM Grand, with nightclubs that host renowned DJs like Calvin Harris, the Wet Republic Ultra Pool (often part of Vegas pool party passes), and the Michelin 3-star Joël Robuchon restaurant.
- MGM Grand is part of MGM Resorts and participates in the M life rewards program.
- The casino features a racebook and sportsbook in addition to tables, slots, and poker.
- If you are planning to walk along the Strip, make sure to give yourself plenty of time—it usually takes longer than you’d think to walk between the enormous resort properties.
MGM Grand sits on the northeast corner of Tropicana Avenue and S. Las Vegas Boulevard. Pedestrian bridges connect to the New York - New York and Tropicana hotels. MGM is on the Las Vegas Monorail line and the Deuce bus line.
“KA” performs twice a night from Saturday to Wednesday; the show is dark on Thursday and Friday. David Copperfield has two shows a night as well as a Saturday matinee. To catch an event at the Garden Arena, check the calendar on the MGM Grand website.
Forget mini golf or your basic driving range—in Las Vegas, golf is taken up a notch at MGM Grand’s Topgolf, a 4-story venue with high-tech golf balls, interactive games, bars, cabanas, a pool, and a concert stage.
