The MGM is one of the only hotels I WON'T stay at in Las Vegas. My one time there, they put me in a room that required about a mile walk to get to. The room for some reason had a loudspeaker that emitted a beeping noise all night long at a just-audible level. It sounded for exactly 17 seconds, then was off for 2 seconds. This repeated all night with me getting NO sleep.

Mirage, Treasure Island, Bally's, Harrah's are all fine. Harrah's is a great deal usually being right in the center of the strip but less expensive.

Of course now that I'm married to Starwood, I'll be trying the Sheraton Desert Inn for the first time!
