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."
Oyster
Upscale

Rough Guide
"Despite its very unfashionable location at the far north end of the Strip, the Stratosphere has survived thanks to rock-bottom rates and a steady flow of budget tour groups."
Oyster
Mid-Range
"The 2,444-room Stratosphere Hotel and Casino... is on the northern outskirts of the Strip... but it's still a great pick for the price." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The 2,427 guest rooms are basic but comfortable; “select” rooms contain updated amenities like marble floors and flat-screen TV’s." Full review
Time Out

Star Service

Accommodations are in the Premier, World and Regency towers, with those in the Premier tower being the most requested for their decor and views from high floors.
Gayot
"This place is good news for bargain hunters --- the service is friendly, and the prices and betting action are great."
Fodor's
"Down below, in two hotel towers, standard rooms were renovated in late 2010 and are now downright sumptuous for the price." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The bland hotel rooms are not actually inside the tallest tower west of the Mississippi River but they're usually a bargain." Full review
