Even if it's once that is still a cracking deal. We like the buffet, think it's one of the best.

I would bet on it not being a free buffet but access to the VIP line, I dont think that I have ever seen an open offer giving a free buffet at the MGM regardless of this it is still a cracking deal

Does anyone know if the rooms at the Bellagio have hairdryers and also kettles?
not that I'd take my own kettle if they don't, but I'm addicted to a particuarly yummy tea so I'd like to take some tea bags!

You can just buy a cheap one from walmart / wallgreens ect. and leave it there, far easier than trailing one from the UK

Hi
Just been looking on Fat Wallet and somebody on there said they have called the hotel and they confirmed the buffet isn't inc. Nevertheless, if the prices come down for my dates, I'll be booking this!

If a dual-voltage travel kettle isn't to hand, I totally agree - though as a public service I would note that you would probably be looking for something called a Hot Pot rather than a kettle...it will be shorter and fatter than a UK kettle but will serve the same purpose.

Stoneman - my in-laws brought their own tea bags...they also brought their own cups, washing up liquid and tea towels along with some of those little pots of UHT milk ...it was very cute...you don't mess with the English and their tea.

you could be on to something there, it's the only thing that doesn't say free in the offer. Good spot. But who would chance booking with MGM at the moment, they are in a right mess, even being sued by Dubai Group over City Center and admitting that they are not going to be able to meet their debts.

I would still stay at MGM without a doubt if they go to Chapter 11 then they will continue to trade with no difference, but I doubt that will happen, if any of their resorts were to be sold (and Bellagio is favourite) then again I would expect them to continue to trade as they are now. I think that they are at least as stable as Venetian and I stayed their at Xmas when they were thinking of getting Chapter 11 protection and that is the reason that they were offering great room rates.
