Your choice for favorite MGM Hotel

Trying to decide where to stay on an upcoming June trip. Like MGM but don't care for the size of it. I guess I have it down to either Mirage, New York (stayed there before and liked it), Bellagio. We are going to celebrate my boyfriend's 60th birthday and I am torn....pick a reasonably priced hotel or splurge and spend. Advice anyone? Thanks.

NYNY is nice but why not try something new. I say try the Mirage.

I personally hated NYNY. We love MGM but it is huge. Mandalay Bay was really nice when I stayed there. They have some of the nicest non-suitye rooms Ive stayed in. I havent stayed at Bellagio or Mirage so I can't rate them.

Hi

Have not stayed at NYNY or MGM but we used to stay at Mirage but just having turned 60...we really like Bellagio.

We enjoy Aria

I have stayed at Aria, Bellagio, and Mirage. I liked all three, but Aria is a long walk to the Strip. I like Bellagio and Mirage for the rooms and the location on the Strip. Mirage (as of December 2013) had both Freebet blackjack and Blackjack Switch and Bellagio has Blackjack Switch, so I prefer both of those places. The rooms are nice in all three. Mirage is normally less expensive than Bellagio if that is a consideration. I am not a big fan of Mirage's buffet. I think the Bellagio buffet is better, although I think the Cosmopolitan buffet is the best in town at the moment. I have not stayed at MGM or NYNY.

MGM is large, but we love it. As a mid-fifties couple, in halfway decent shape, we prefer the size as it gives us a chance to walk off the food and beverage. I've stayed at most MGM, and other, properties but, for many reasons, my Wife and I have ALWAYS spent our together time at MGM. It has more to offer than most realize.

I have stayed at all of them except NYNY, and Bellagio is by far our favorite followed by Aria, Mirage and Mandalay Bay

As somebody else said, Aria is a bit of a walk to the Strip, but for us, it's worth it, particularly in summer. You don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get a spot at the pool like several of the other MGM resorts. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the drink service is fantastic.

Also, as busy as it is, it's not "overwhelming" in terms of noise and craziness. At the end of our long day, it's nice to sit at a slot machine, have a couple of drinks, and go to bed. Aria is ideal for that.

Just my 2 cents.

Agree with this.
We have stayed at every MGM property except Circus Circus.
Aria is our favorite by a long shot.
