Whats a junoir suite like at MGM Signature? Much better compared to grand tower room????

any feelings? i know includes a kitchen but that doesn't bother me too much......is it within the mgm complex or seperate and off the strip?

Signature is in its own complex away from MGM I think it too far from the Strip for me but some people say that you can take a shortcut to the back of Planet Hollywood. The standard of accomdation is much better than a grand room at MGM you have much more footage, the kitchen for me is a huge plus to be able to have a fridge and ice in your room is great. Be aware that there is a facilty charge which I think is about $15 per day.

Thanks Stew, interesting.....will see if an upgrade to that is worth it, its quite a bit more than what i paid for a grand tower room tbh! And i like the idea of being in a hotel directly near the strip...

guess parking might be easier if off the strip tho!

I was not aware that you could upgarde from a Grand Tower to Signature as they are separate properties with separate check ins

funkyfin casino's around freemont have a couple of quarter's machines, so you could try there, (Four Queens..)

Or something different the little horse racing game in the MGM grand seems to always attract a crowd, not a slot admitedly but a bit of fun and you can will a small bit

Also try the smaller casino's Ellis Island springs to mind,

Have not seen any of the money shufflers, think that is more UK where you can see the cash and you think you may win it all

Horseracing one is worth a punt

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I meant cancelling the MGM booking and booking the Signature seperately.

My mother always said I didn't make myself clear!!

They have them in the kiddie arcade sort of places in the US.

I agree that the horse racing machines (Sigma Derby) can be really fun.

I don't know if this is of interest to anyone - but there are several 'real' slots on skyvegas.com - you can play for free (we put in a fake email address even)...just to try them out, or to play favorites for fun when at home...we've never played for real on the site, but the freeplay seems to run a bit slow at times.

For those who haven't been and would like to see some machines that will be in Vegas, most casinos will have Wolf Run, Enchanted Unicorn, Cleopatra and Cleopatra II, Davinci Diamonds, Lil Lady, Elvis Multistrike (though these are hard to find anymore).

just bet your quarters on which one you want, really easy not far from the lion's in MGM just listen out for the noise, you have to chose 1st and 2nd place and the machine gives you odd's

Hello,

Just thought id let you all know that i have managed to get 2 tickets for The Killers gig when i am out in Vegas in April!!:j I really can't wait for this now and my girlfriend is over the moon as it will be her 1st taste of a gig! :beer:

we have brought them off Ebay for quite a reasonable price and are covered in case of any thing going wrong.

I'm sure it will be worth every penny......WE CAN'T WAIT TILL APRIL!!:j

I bet they weren't as reasonable as the £35 we paid to see them in March at Nottingham;)
