Join us as we embark on a 24-hour stay at the iconic MGM Grand Las Vegas! In this insightful and honest review, we’ll explore every nook and cranny of this renowned resort, from its luxurious accommodations to its world-class dining options and electrifying entertainment.
While we normally stay at Caesars properties when visiting Las Vegas, we decided to check out MGM Resorts and as first timers to their brand, what better way than a 24 hour stay at their flagship property.
In this review of MGM Grand Las Vegas, we walk through their massive Casino, have lunch at the infamous MGM Grand Buffet, savor a pepperoni slice and rainbow cookie from the brand new Lucini Slice Counter by Tao group, tour our Grand Tower King room, and have dinner at Nellie’s Southern Kitchen, a Jonas Family Restaurant.
We then wake up the following morning to have a drink at the Lobby Bar, before trying our luck on some old school three reel Cherries Jubilee on the way out. We then give our honest review to answer the question, “Is MGM Grand right for you?”
Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, our comprehensive review will equip you with everything you need to know for an unforgettable stay at MGM Grand Las Vegas.

I love the mgm grand lazy river and pools. There’s just something about when you walk into the mgm grand when you’re just arriving after a plane ride. The smell is amazing! Great video guys!

I love the mgm grand. Never stayed but do love the amenities . I do agree that it does not feel crowded at the casino. Good catch! I’ve never been to the buffet. Glad you used the my Vegas rewards. I use that too! The desserts looked better than most of the other foods tho. lol. I agree. You are not over reacting with the price of coke. It’s way too much. But yeh it’s not mgm’s fault. And likely Tao s. Btw you should try the Brad garret comedy club. I went last time and it was so much fun. They had speciality drinks that were super cool. The comedians were super funny too. I really prefer mgm vs Caesar. That’s just me tho. I do want to stay there at mgm grand tho for the pool. I always stay at Mandalay Bay bc of the pool. It’s awesome. Try it next time. Way to go on the handpay. So happy for you! ❤❤🎉

It turned out to be a really lovely experience. I can’t wait to stay there again. We’ll definitely be doing it during pool season. I would absolutely love to try the Brad Garret Comedy club on that next trip. I imagine that with the right comedian it’s a great experience. I will always make sure to check the price on a bottle of coke in the future. I didn’t know I was paying mini-bar prices. We’re hopefully going to be staying at Mandalay Bay later this year for our 1 year anniversary (of our wedding and also of the channel) As always, we’re so happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. We appreciate you. -James

I feel ya on the Coke. I went to a convention last weekend and it cost me 6 bucks for a Coke there. I thought that was just crazy, 8 dollars is even craizer.

@JamesandPaulTryitAll 2 ай бұрын

It really is! I would be ok with that cost if it were a refillable fountain drink, but that is just highway robbery for a bottle. Tao is really out of touch if they think people are not going to be upset by that. -James

My son and I enjoyed the video. His dad and I took him to Vegas in the 90s when they were promoting it for kids. We didn't stay at MGM but ate the buffet (average) and took him to the theme park that used to be way in the back of the property. Fast forward to today, the dad is out of the picture but my son and I go to Vegas together once a year and just got back. I remember telling you in a previous comment that we were staying at the Flamingo as we often do. This year we got a 24-hour monorail pass and found it very useful for going down to the Sahara for the first time, as well as taking it to MGM. Would you believe we've never gambled there before? We got good drink service. Nellie's Kitchen is so close to the monorail stop and it has been penciled in on our list. We both enjoy the Jonas Brothers' music. Were they playing their songs inside the casino? Another question and I don't know if you'll remember since this trip was several months ago, but could you estimate how long the walk would be from the monorail stop to the elevator bank on the first floor going up to your room?

@JamesandPaulTryitAll Ай бұрын

We’re glad to hear you guys enjoyed the video! As far as the musics goes, I gotta be honest, I’m not sure if I would recognize a Jonas Brothers song if I heard it. In the casino itself, I remember a wide variety of different music from all genres and decades. They kept a really fun vibe to it. I do recall the music inside Nellie’s feeling very country and southern, but I could also be wrong on that as I was absolutely exhausted by this point in the day. In regard to the distance between the monorail to the room elevators, i would say it is a bit of a walk. MGM grand is so huge. If I had to compare, I would say that it would be like walking from The Cromwell to the Linq Promenade. Perhaps about a 10 minute walk from the point of getting off the monorail to reaching the elevators. Not terrible, but long enough that if you have mobility issues it could be tiring by the end. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment! We really appreciate it! -James

Pardon my language...but F@@K YEAH!!! I've been waiting for this...lol We stated at MGM a year ago and fell in love with it. Did the Stay Well room (didn't notice a big difference) and rented a pool day bed. Absolutely worth the price. Get one by the lazy river. Spent the entire day there. And you both are right; there's no way to do it all in just 24 hours. We were there 3 days and still didn't get to do what we wanted. Lol. I found it to be a very comfortable mid to almost high end experience. I feel like it beats Caesar's in a lot of ways. Not the buffet tho. Lol Even with the MyVegas rewards, it was just...ok. might not go back again. Cest la vie. So much in fact, we will be there in two weeks!! Lol. Another great video and post, fellas. Keep em coming.

@JamesandPaulTryitAll 2 ай бұрын

Yeah the buffet was “just ok” - and I know that it serves a more budget minded demographic but I do feel they need to be a bit more in line with upping the quality. But for what it was, it serves a purpose. But even though our stay was just 24 hours there… I want more. We had our first taste of MGM and I feel like this stay best out our stay at Caesars Palace. And they did it without the jetted tub in the room (I am sure they have those as well but we went with booking a regular King). I do want to revisit this property when the pool complex is open because I feel like we could spend so much time there (and likely making that its own video). Thanks for watching and we are glad you enjoyed ❤️ -Paul

Great tip. We were not sure where they would have assigned us if they had not upgraded us. But I will say the Grand Tower King definitely surprised us and after this stay, we can definitely say that MGM gave us a much better impression than we had with the different Caesars properties. Thanks for watching and for the comment ❤️ -Paul

we tried the pizza at Lucini's last time we were at MGM, those NY slices are good, but completely agree on the crust. Wish it had been a tad crispier, but still foldable. My mom has been wanting to try Nellie's, so we might have to add that to the agenda when we go to AEW Double or Nothing in a couple weeks. Pro Tip: go to the ABC store closest to you and grab a couple drinks there to bring with you into the casinos. They have bottled water for 2 for $2! Whenever we go to events at TMobile Arena we dash across the street to the ABC store next to MGM and grab drinks then go back and get food at NYNY, saves a TON of money

@JamesandPaulTryitAll 2 ай бұрын

Oh god yes… ABC Stores and the CVS all the way. The thing about that Coca Cola bottle… we literally didn’t think about it until we saw the price on the receipt halfway through filming that pizza review and it was a genuine shock 😳 We understand Vegas is adult Disneyland but $8 is way more than Disney prices for that same bottle. Yeah the NY slice was good, but the more expensive Sicilian was just not good… I was expecting more in line with PizzaCake or Pizza Rock’s Sicilian and it let me down LOL Thanks for watching ❤️ -Paul

I just got home from mgm grand. I ate all my meals at NYNY. The food is way overpriced at mgm but i love the pools.

@JamesandPaulTryitAll 2 ай бұрын

There are definitely some high end dining options at MGM Grand which is why when we mentioned the dining that NYNY being across the street is definitely a viable option if you’re looking for more budget friendly options as the food court at MGM is admittedly basic and definitely not the Greenwich Eateries which have a lot of better options at reasonable price ranges. Thank you for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video ❤️ -Paul

I have to agree with you on the pricing. The coke is a total ripoff. And besides it’s not healthy. Don’t waste your calories on sugar sodas. The pizza looked overpriced and underwhelming as well. But that cake looked great. Had a similar one at a restaurant by us. I love the almond paste. Anyway love you guys. Great video

@JamesandPaulTryitAll 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching ❤️ We often avoid sugared sodas at home. But on a vacation where the options are a bit limited it’s so easy to rush for that bottle of soda. But looking at the receipt and seeing that $8 was a bit of a shock. The New York style pizza was “ok” (though the Sicilian felt like that square school pizza) but I feel like they were going for a “concept” rather than trying to execute on the best pizza - Case in point for a similar price, I could get that amazing slice at Miami Slice and while Lucini wasn’t “bad” it was more or less “just ok”. -Paul

It can be. It depends on a lot of factors, but when we we’re filming it was fairly early in the morning on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Not a lot of people were up and gambling yet. We did this since we try not to include too many people in our videos without their consent. Especially when they’re gambling. -James

Where do you get your comps? We were looking for some 2 for 1s on our last trip.

@JamesandPaulTryitAll 2 ай бұрын

The 2 for 1 on the buffet was from the MyVegas mobile games apps (no we do not have a brand deal with them - We just play it) - But you can redeem up to three rewards with it per 30 day period. While the room nights rewards can be hit or miss and have a lot of red tape to book them, some of the smaller ones like the BOGO cocktails, BOGO buffets, and BOGO entrees at select restaurants can be worth it. We also get room night comps from the loyalty programs at MGM and Caesars (you do have to spend and gamble for those and we are by no means high level players, in fact very much low rollers, but we will take what we can and maximize on what we can) Our upcoming May trip will have room comps at both Caesars and MGM (Excalibur and Planet Hollywood), and then we also maximize on the airline and reward/tier credits which equals more spending money at the respective resorts. So long story short, we maximize the comps and then spend spend spend and at the end of the day the casinos will make it all back and then some, but every little bit helps. -Paul
