Trip Report 7/20 - 7/26 MGM Grand!

We just arrived back in Newark this last Sunday. We all had a great time! We stayed at the MGM Grand in a Hollywood Suite - very nice and HUGE bathroom!

My daughter enjoyed the pools and the river ride, as well as the lions and the Rainforest Cafe and the parrots!

We all walked around alot, saw the Bellagio Fountains, Circus Circus (what a rundown dump!), NYNY (nice), Excalibur (not so great), Paris (liked the food!), Monte Carlo (OK for poker...that's about it), etc.

The MGM was very nice but you'd better bring sneakers if you stay there! Everything is a long walk...after a day or so you do start finding your way around much better!

Won about $500 in Blackjack at MGM...slots not too loose...did hit a few "4-of-a-kinds" in Video Poker, though....Husband played Texas Hold-em at Bellagio and Monte Carlo, while I stuck to the Blackjack, 3-card poker, and slots.

Excellent Food at MGM - it's time to start the diet again! haha...

Overall, the trip was very nice...a little warm (110+ degrees - alot of pool time!) We came home almost even so we didn't lose too much! The casino host at MGM took about $150 off our bill from my comp play, so that was very nice!

We will definately be back next year - maybe Mirage again or Bellagio!

 

cspada,

Sounds like a fun trip !

Coming home almost even with $$ is a WIN in my book.
