Hotels near Monorail - MGM Grand Station in Las Vegas

The rooms are spacious, and the hotel itself is massive. The biggest plus is its proximity to the Las Vegas Strip, with plenty of dining options right downstairs so you don't have to walk far. However, the downsides are also obvious: it's an older property, the room lighting isn't very bright, and it's easy to get lost within the hotel.

Located in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip, about $20 from the airport. The hotel lobby is right inside the entrance, which is very convenient. I used the 'sandwich trick' to get an upgraded room with a view (Eiffel Tower, pool, fountain view), but the windows were so incredibly dirty that you couldn't really appreciate the scenery up close – what a waste! The room itself was very large, but there were far too few power outlets, nowhere near enough for travelers to charge their devices. There was only one chair and a small table (less than half-sized). If you had a second person, they either had to stand or sit on the bed. When I asked the front desk if they could send another chair to the room, they said, 'We don't offer that service.' Checking in around 1 PM, I avoided the peak rush and got a room right away, which was great. Check-out was at 11 AM, and the lobby was packed. Luckily, there was a fast check-out box by the elevators where you could just drop your room key and sleeve. Otherwise, I imagine it would have taken an hour to check out. In mid-July, it was 45 degrees Celsius during the day in Las Vegas, but the room stayed comfortable even without the air conditioning on at night. The bed was large and very clean. The bathroom was spacious with a separate wet and dry area. The fridge was surprisingly empty, so I could put my own drinks in it. There's an ice machine on every floor. Walking less than 10 minutes in either direction from the hotel, you'll find a large supermarket. Right next door to the hotel is a big shopping mall with lots of dining options, most of which are open until midnight. If you keep walking for another 15 minutes, there's a large In-N-Out Burger. Walking about 5 minutes in the other direction, there's an outdoor food market with many different eateries. The Bellagio Fountains are directly opposite the hotel's main entrance. The hotel pool was very crowded during the day, and many of the pool loungers required payment. The pool water was quite cold, so I just took some photos and left. You have the option to decline housekeeping and simply ask staff for fresh towels. Overall, the value for money is still quite good. It's worth staying at least once.

I was exhibiting at the adjacent convention center, and this is the closest hotel in all of LV. The hotel has a direct walkway to the exhibition hall (only about a 10-meter walk outside), so you don't have to go out onto the street. Of course, you could go the long way around, but you'd just get more sun. I stayed on the 13th floor; outside the window was a residential area, with desert hills in the distance. You could see the big Sphere from the elevator lobby. The hotel's ground floor has a casino, and the lack of breakfast is a major drawback. The room had a sofa but no desk, which was inconvenient for extended computer use. The window couldn't be opened. The overall decor felt dated, not as modern and new as high-end hotels in China. Additionally, there's a parking lot about 50 meters in front of the hotel, unmanned, costing $10 a day for self-payment. My Chinese phone couldn't access the payment system, so I had to keep going back and forth to the front desk for help. There's a monorail station nearby (I didn't check prices or routes), and across the street is a gas station. It's only one street away from the LV Strip, and about a 30-minute walk to the Wynn Hotel (where we rented our car from Hertz). Across from the exhibition hall, there are dining options like McDonald's, Denny's, Taco Bell, Vietnamese restaurants, Korean BBQ, and Indian food. Overall, it's decent and very convenient for exhibiting.

The room extremely clean and spacious. I was happy the shower had superb water pressure. Hotel staff were all cheerful and helpful. The hotel is walking distance to Fremont Experience Canopy which is such a fun street to check out! Don’t forget to admire the charming victorian architecture of the hotel and casino and look for the antiques and slab of the Berlin Wall!

Thru Trip.com, we decided to book this hotel for the cheaper price as we only need to stay a short while - arriving late at night and leaving early in the morning. It's a bit confusing the info : This is a property, not a hotel? It says must inform the hotel if late arrival so we did but there was no reply or acknowledgement to know if there's a special procedure to check in ; for eg, they have to give you a special code or arrangement for late check in. The next letter to us was weird!!? It says check in instructions as follows but nothing, it's blank...... See photos of their replies. So we were concerned - our situation, pls see photo. But there's no reply in the Message Chat. These left us very worried and anxious. In the end, we had to keep calling this no and that no given by Trip.com, knowing that we will be kept waiting in line. Even when arrived at the airport, we kept calling. Seems one of the phone no is wrong? Trip.com, pls check with the hotel or person in charge. As for the room amenities, they are quite bare - no fridge, no kettle, no drinking water (you have to drink from the tap) in the room. Bath water was not hot when we bathed.

I think it depends on the timing, but the check-in line (about 7 groups) moved incredibly slowly, and I was tired after standing for about 30 minutes. There were several Starbucks and food shops within the hotel, so I didn't need to go out. The bed and shower in the room were clean. However, the lack of a refrigerator in the room was inconvenient, but I was satisfied with the room's size, price, and cleanliness.

I stayed on a newly renovated floor, and while everything met 4-star standards and the stay was comfortable, I definitely won't be coming back. Reason one: it's incredibly inconvenient to go downtown for food, and the hotel's own food street offers poor value for money. Reason two, and the main reason: the deposit is $100 per night, and it wasn't refunded promptly after check-out. It's been three days now, and I still haven't received it back. When I've stayed at other hotels, the deposit was always refunded instantly after check-out. With inconvenient dining and transportation, a $100 deposit, and uncertainty about its return, I'd advise anyone considering staying here to think twice!

The location of this hotel downtown was awesome, close to everything. Room was spacious and clean. Booked a poolside room, took 30 sec to get to my room from reception area, very convenient. Staff always greeted me and asked if I needed anything. They do room cleaning starting on the 3rd day but let you know you can have your room cleaned anytime by contacting front desk before 12 noon. Pool area was nice, pool was refreshing, other people have complained about the night club noise but I didn’t hear any of that, but they do include 2 sets of ear plugs in the room. Great staff, great stay.

My husband and I came to Hilton Lake Las Vegas to spend our 7th wedding anniversary. Check in went very smoothly. Shortly after our check in we received a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. It was a very welcoming surprise which we genuinely appreciated. We had booked a couples massage at their spa and were very pleased with their services. It was quite relaxing and exactly what we needed! Our room was very clean and quiet. We ordered in room service for breakfast and the food was very much to our liking! We’ve stayed at this resort several times prior and have always been pleased with our stay there. We will definitely be back!

The staff was very helpful and friendly during my stay. I had to extend my stay and they were so accommodating which allowed me to attend to family needs. They had many food options and the gift shop came in handy for last minute needs.
