MGM is a nice resort. If you want to have it all under one roof,, but are on a budget, the MGM resorts is the best choice. My conference was at the Bellagio, but couldn't afford the rooms@ $200.00+/night. If you want to get out and explore, it's location on the Monorail gives you easy acess to other resorts. In the end, we always found ourselves coming back to the MGM to eat, drink and game. One recomendation, take in the "Hypnosis Unleashed" show across the street at Hooters. I found myself lauging more at this show than I did at all the comedians combined at the Brad Garrett Comedy Club, including Brad Garrett.
