The MGM Resorts International property is enormous, encompassing 6,916,958 total sq ft of ground floor area, with four 30-story towers soaring 280 feet.

The combined complex creates one of the largest hotels in the world. There are exciting things to do 24/7. The casino and exhibition floors are usually crowded as it is one of the more popular casinos in Las Vegas and draws a large crowd from the Strip. 

Accommodations aside, it's really about having fun gambling and the MGM Grand Casino is at the heart of the Las Vegas strip. Gamblers are conveniently located to other big name casinos. It's easy to spot the MGM Grand Casino Hotel - just look for the 45 ft, 100,000-lbs bronze lion statue.
