MGM Grand Renos

Hello - Just wondering if anyone can provide some updated information on the status of the MGM renos?

A few questions our group has:

1 - Is Sigma Derby still operating?

2 - What restaurants are impacted?

3 - Is there a scheduled date for the lions to return or are they permanently gone?

Thanks!

 

1. yes
2. none
3. gone

 

The lions are permanently gone. My understanding is they were from a big cat rescue nearby in town, so it may be possible to do tours there, not sure.

When I was there a month ago, Sigma Derby was there, but out of order for my entire visit.

 

If you didn't know the D(old Fitzgeralds) has Sigma Derby downtown. An option if the MGM one is down.

 

Seablue is gone.
I liked that place.

 

Several sets of escalators were out of order this weekend, and a large number of slots were moved out and areas blocked off in front of the Buffet for carpet replacement (were doing that about 4am this morning).

 

They cranked down on the adjustments on the slots so NO BODY is winning at them....

 

Really?? I am leaving in a few days for my trip to Vegas and this is normally a stop. Loved their happy hour and food is outstanding.... was.....

 

From what I've read, they removed the lions because the exhibit was taking up space that could be better utilized for revenue.

 

I waiting for MGM corporate to decide bathrooms are not making them any money either.:evillaugh

 

What do you mean? Adjustments? Staying at mgm next week... 1st Vegas visit... sorry I'm green

 

You will understand after you play a couple hundy's through the slot machines........as you walk around the casinos, notice how many people are WINNING.....we were there the last week of August and didn't see anyone win......
