The Signature At MGM Grand

Signature Hotel Fitness

Scene

This all-suіtes condomіnіum is quieter and morе relaxing than mоst Vegas hotels, yet close to the fun.

Guеsts relaxing by the Maіn Pool

Just as the massive Mаndаlаy Bаy has the elegаnt, upscale THEhotеl tuckеd into the hotel for guеsts who want to stay out оf the fray, the massive MGM Grand offеrs a quiet refuge within the grounds as well. In this сase, it's thrее luxury condominium towеrs located behind the casіno, five pools, lion habitat, celebritу rеstaurants, Cirque du Soleil theater, and ѕhopping сenter.

While there isn't much to do around the condos -- three small poolѕ and оne sleeрy bar, but not even a full-service restaurant -- that's the idea. Guests seek out the Signaturе for а quiet and relаxed atmoѕphere thаt's a five-minute walk frоm everything that thе MGM Grand has to offer. These аre opulent apartmеnt buildings next door to pure Vegaѕ spectacle. In exchange fоr distance from thе mаin hotеl, you get far ѕuperior serviсe and larger, morе comfortаble suites thаt are on par with what you find at Encore or THEhotel.

Sports and Activities

Bowling 

Bowling in Vegas will give you a new appreciation for the sport most of us associate with bad haircuts and ugly shoes. You'll find elements of casinos, bars, and nightclubs here; with lively crowds to match. Locals take their leagues seriously, so spare yourself some heartache and call ahead to make a lane reservation.

Golf
With an average of 315 days of sunshine a year and year-round access, Las Vegas's top sport is golf. The peak season is any nonsummer month; only mad dogs and Englishmen are out in the noonday summer sun. However, most of the courses in Las Vegas offer reduced greens fees during the summer months, sometimes as much as 50% to 70% lower than peak-season fees.

If you want to play on a weekend, call before you get into town, as the 8 to 11 am time slots fill up quickly. Starting times for same-day play are possible (especially during the week), but if you're picky about when and where you play, plan ahead. Some of the big Strip resorts have a dedicated golf concierge who can advise you on a course that fits your tastes and, in some cases, get you access to private.

Las Vegas Nightlife

Las Vegas Nightlife

Despite the recent rocky economy, Las Vegas's nightlife remains relatively hot. Still fueled by the "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" advertisements (read: "All your sins here get expunged completely as soon as you pay your bookie, loan shark, and/or credit card bill"), nightlife impresarios on the Strip keep dipping into their vast pockets in order to create over-the-top experiences where party-mad Visigoths—plus, well, you and me—can live out some wild fantasies. The number of high-profile nightclubs, trendy lounges, and sizzling strip bars continues to grow, each attempting to trump the other in order to attract not just high rollers, but A-list celebrities and the publicity that surrounds them. Gambling? Why bother when you can lounge beside the pool by day and bellow at the moon by night while dancing half-clad at a club until noon the following day (when it's back into the pool you go)?
In the late 1990s, once the Vegas mandarins decided that the "family experience" just wasn't happening, Sin City nightlife got truly sinful again, drawing raves from clubbers worldwide. A wave of large dance clubs, such as the Luxor's (now-defunct) Ra, opened their doors, followed by a trendy batch of cozier ultralounges—lounges with dance floors—like the MGM Grand's Tabú.

The game of one-upmanship has continued—recent additions that have kept the city hopping include Victor Drai's glorious new nightclub XS and the Palms' sensational twofer of Moon and the Playboy Lounge. What's more, bawdy '50s-era burlesque lounges are continuing their comeback with a gaggle of clubs now dedicated to the art of striptease.


Few cities on earth match Vegas in its dedication to upping the nightlife ante. So with all these choices, no one—not even the Visigoths—has an excuse for not having fun, however you define the "f" word.

Las Vegas and Casino

Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino
This resort is actually three hotels in one—the namesake Mandalay Bay, THEhotel, and the Four Seasons-Las Vegas. Each brand is distinct, and each has a separate entrance.

Mirage Las Vegas
The Mirage rang in the modern era of Las Vegas, but then started to look a little too "1989," thanks to modern hotel trends. So the casino and restaurants received an end-to-end makeover, all timed to the mid-2006 opening of Cirque du Soleil's Beatles-theme show. Even the campy exploding volcano (it erupts every 15 minutes from 7 pm until midnight, shooting fire high into the air) received some souped-up special effects; it got a complete overhaul in 2009.

Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino
The hotel formerly known as Aladdin underwent a makeover in 2007, and was reborn as Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. Nearly $300 million later, the resulting property offers some of the trendiest and most exclusive clubs and restaurants in Vegas, and is considered by many to be the "it" property of today.

Bellagio Las Vegas
After more than 10 years, Bellagio remains a top getaway despite the considerable competition from upscale properties. It's impressive more for its refined elegance than for gimmicks, although hipsters and minimalist-minded travelers may find the gilt and glitter too much to stomach.

Luxor Las Vegas
Welcome to the land of the Egyptians—Vegas style. This modern world wonder is topped with a xenon light beam that burns brighter than any other in the world and can be seen from anywhere in the valley at night; for that matter, it's supposedly even visible from space.

City Center
It took the better part of ten years, $8.5 billion and a cash infusion from a company in Dubai, but CityCenter, the largest privately funded construction project in U.S. history, opened in late 2009 with unprecedented fanfare.

Wynn Las Vegas
In a city that keeps raising the bar for sheer luxury, the Wynn—monolithic in both name and appearance—has taken a new, more discreet turn for the tasteful.

The Venetian Resort Casino
This theme hotel re-creates Italy's most romantic city with meticulous reproductions of Venetian landmarks—including the Grand Canal.
