MGM Resorts dominate the Las Vegas Strip with a collection of 11 properties ranging from budget-friendly pyramids to luxury lakefront towers. Guests can expect world-class casino floors, multiple outdoor pool complexes (including lazy rivers and sand beaches), full-service spas, and dozens of on-site restaurants. The Strip itself is the primary district, with all MGM resorts centrally located between the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and the Wynn enclave. Nightly rates vary widely: budget options like Excalibur and Luxor start around $50-$80, while premium stays at Bellagio, Aria, and The Cosmopolitan range from $150 to $400+ depending on season and view.
Top-rated properties include Bellagio (guest score 85) with its iconic fountains and 5 pools, Aria Resort & Casino (84) offering floor-to-ceiling windows and a 62-treatment-room spa, and Park MGM (84) featuring three pools plus the Bavette's Steakhouse. The Cosmopolitan (83) stands out for its terrace balcony rooms and hot tub, while Mandalay Bay (81) boasts an 11-acre beach with real sand and a lazy river. For families, New York-New York (81) has a roller coaster and family-friendly pools, and Excalibur (76) offers a castle theme with water slides. Each resort charges a nightly resort fee ($30-$50) that typically covers Wi-Fi, fitness center access, and local calls-factor that into your budget. Booking directly through MGM's website often provides the best rate guarantees and loyalty points for future stays.
