Rough Guide "A great standard of accommodation for the price."
Frommer's "We've grown very fond of this hotel, and we have to admit that it's gone to some efforts to make the ridiculous size work to its -- and, thus, your -- advantage." Full review
Fodor's "A regal, bronze rendering of the roaring MGM lion mascot fronts the four emerald-green, fortress-like towers of the MGM Grand, one of the largest hotels in the world." Full review
Insight Guides "A prime example of the ‘supersize’ Vegas mentality: a huge property at a great Strip location. Rooms in the West Wing are the best."
OysterUpscale
"The biggest hotel (by room count) in Las Vegas has the biggest casino in town, many of the best restaurants, an enormous and fun pool complex, and a huge range of on-site entertainment options." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Despite being one of the largest hotels in the world, the Grand maintains a relaxed ambience. It boasts a luxurious spa."
Star Service "This is one of the world's most exciting and energetic hotels, and also one of the largest." Full review
Gayot "When this hotel boasts about its superlative size, it's not kidding."
Lonely Planet "If you're looking to escape the hubbub on the Strip, these serene condominium oases may be just what you're looking for." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The MGM Grand, with its commanding location on the Vegas Strip marked by a 100,000-lb bronze lion statue, is a Las Vegas experience in itself." Full review

Rough Guide "Although it’s still considered among the hippest casinos in town... The Palms is in many respects just a presentable but rather dull locals’ casino."
Concierge "To enjoy the Palms, you must be a fan of "the scene." If you're not, you will despise this property."
Fodor's "Rooms at the Palms are large, opulent, and modern, with some unusual amenities for Las Vegas, such as beds with ultra-firm mattresses, duvets, and ample minibars." Full review

For a tamer Palms experience, ask for a room at Palms Place, which has a private pool and separate restaurant.
Lonely Planet "Playpen suites are tailored for bachelor and bachelorette parties, or escape to the high-rise Palms Place."
i
Request an upper floor to score a Strip view.
DK Eyewitness "Palms’ 40-story Fantasy Tower has stunning views of Las Vegas. Its Playboy Club is also a big draw."
Star Service "The modern styling in the large casino, hardwood floors instead of carpeting, and exposed duct work in lieu of chandeliers make a fitting backdrop to the latest in casino technology." Full review
i
Request rooms above the seventh floor to avoid nightclub noise.
Gayot "The creator of and brains behind this resort, the impeccable George Maloof, wanted a hip place near the Strip, for every type of play and every style of player."
BlackBook "This flashy, Miami-style casino outpost for the twentysomething generation has been the backdrop of numerous reality shows ranging from MTV's Real World to The Surreal Life and Inked."
Zagat4.2
"This "beautiful" high-rise all-suiter caters to a young, hip crowd with "beautiful", "spacious" accommodations featuring hardwood and marble floors."
The Telegraph8.0
"Follow all the party people to this slick, high-rise casino resort with scintillating nightlife and a hot summer pool scene." Full review
