MGM Grand - West Wing King Room or Grand Tower Room?

Hi

We%26#39;ve finally narrowed it down to be MGM Grand for our 2 day stay in July - however we can%26#39;t decide on which room to go for...

In the photos I%26#39;ve seen it seems as though there%26#39;s no windows in the West Wing King Rooms, and in the room description there%26#39;s no mentioning of any windows... It can%26#39;t be a windowless room, can it????

Which floors are the rooms located on? We would like to go as high as possible :-)

Thanks

I (and it would seem a majority of others) would opt for a Grand Tower room. West Wing is considered an upgrade but a lot of people can%26#39;t work out why this is the case..... :-)

Stick to the other parts of the hotel as far as I am concerned.

The West Wing is the oldest part of the hotel, although the rooms are remodelled, the rooms are smaller than the rest of the hotel, and few would offer much of a view, as it%26#39;s the shortest part of the whole building.

Most of the West Wing rooms have a small window above the bed, but not a window you actually gaze out of.

I have a simple rule about West Wing room advice: If the poster uses the word WE in his question I strongly advise against this room. IMO this room should never be used by more than 1 person. That%26#39;s how small it is. But most importantly the bathroom is a joke. Most couples want a sink and vanity in the bath, and most importantly many are uncomfortable without a bathroom door.

Also, if you should decide that you do want this room because you think ';it%26#39;s only 2 nights, we can stay in anything for 2 nights'; DO NOT pay a higher rate for it. Just book a regular room and request a free upgrade to the West Wing when you check in. I promise you they will gladly give you this room at no charge as they can never sell them all.

Oh my - I%26#39;m so glad I asked here in the forums. I was not at all aware about the ';no-bathroom-door';-issue :-D That for sure made the decision easy... But the arguments regarding room size in general and the small above-bed-window are a good points.

Thank you SO much!

There is a door (it%26#39;s almost like a shower door though) to the toilet, but the bathroom itself is not really a separate room, I like it it%26#39;s very modern, but yes it%26#39;s a bit small for a couple.

Go with the Grand Tower room. If you want you can try the $20.00 trick at check -in and see if you can get upgraded to a Bungalow Suite. Bypass the West wing altogether..the room isn%26#39;t too hot to say the least.

We got ';upgraded'; to a West Wing room on our last trip. I actually really liked it. We weren%26#39;t in the room much, so the smallness wasn%26#39;t an issue.

The best part of the WW is that you can get out of the MGM without having to trek halfway through the casino. There%26#39;s a great little side door. Also, there%26#39;s a Starbucks essentially right at the exit from the WW elevators.

I liked the modern decor. There was a bathroom door, it was a huge glass thing.

Grand Tower Room i loved it.

Thanks for all your input - it%26#39;s a great help.

Btw - is there a room size difference between rooms with 1 king bed compared to a room with 2 queens?

Same square footage. They can%26#39;t move walls to accommodate beds, lol
