MGM petite king

So im staying at the MGM Grand for the first time and the room I booked is a non smoking petite king. should I try the 20$ upgrade or is this a good room.

 

I have the same room type booked in 3 weeks...was wondering about the room as well

 

when i get back I will report my findings and if the $20 trick works

 

It's a very small room. These were called West Wing rooms before the renovations. They were the only renovated rooms. They are pretty small and have small windows.

IMHO, it is worth the effort to be upgraded to the Grand Tower rooms if you can.

 

I've tried the $20 sandwich trick and it didn't work. The guy politely handed it back to me and said "Sorry, we don't accept tips"

 

Sufficient for one person would you say? Just going to be myself in the room

 

Its smaller compared to standard room on the main tower. Its good if you are by yourself but you wont get any spectacular view. The location of the west wing rooms is pretty convenient. The west wing bar is right there. You walk out to a starbucks and quick access to the sportsbook. You are also very close to the strip if you want to walk out. You are further away from the main lobby, taxi line, and parking garage. They are still finishing up renovation on that side of the casino - close to the west wing but the major construction is finished.

Good Luck and Have Fun

 

It might actually be better for one person than the Grand Tower rooms. They've been renovated more recently. Definitely smaller, but if you're alone I'm not sure how much that matters.

Don't get me wrong, the grand tower rooms are generally considered superior. I just don't know that it matters for a single.

 

i'll try the $20 trick....for the mgm is it better to try the trick at the airport or in the lobby?
