MGM Grand Las Vegas
MGM Grand Las Vegas
With appearances in both Ocean’s Eleven and Swingers (Trent: So, what'd you think of that Dorothy girl? Mike: The whole Judy Garland thing kinda turned me on), the MGM’s legacy in Vegas bachelor lore is pretty rock solid. What’s there to do beyond Pitt-Clooney impressions at the bar? Well, the MGM Grand is a chameleon: it went from emerald city theme to golden age Hollywood theme to its current incarnation, which is, well, just BIG. The folks at MGM might not be able to boast the hottest club or pool but they’ve determined that there’s a caché in simply being the biggest-damn-thing-on-the-block with literally something for everybody - even if that something is recreating an episode of CSI. And they’re right: The MGM offers your party the classic, massive casino experience in a good location and at a reasonable price.
Get plastered and seek out the Sigma Derby Horse Racing game near the Grand Buffet entrance. It is ridiculous and stupid and unbelievably fun.
Price: $$
Clubs/bars on premises? Studio 54, Tabú Ultra Lounge, West Wing Bar, Rouge, Centrifuge
Best Feature: The Lazy River. Sure pool parties are a solid scene, but can you really beat floating on an inner-tube with a bucket of Coronas in the middle of the desert?
Pool scene?: A study in contrasts: There’s the Wet Republic Ultra Pool, featuring eight pools complete with bungalows, cabanas, and models clad in Ed Hardy bikinis or the Lazy River, a winding, inner-tube filled loop of drunkeness.
