My fiance and I decided to escape the wedding planning stress and relax at MGM Grand. We wanted to go to Shrine, however my fiance forgot to pack dress shoes. Our biggest problem was the noise coming from Shrine. Also, you can hear EVERYTHING going on in the rooms around you! I could hear the room next to us everytime they turned on the shower, put the latch on the door, and their conversations! Our neighbors were not even yelling, they were talking normally! For a new hotel you would think that they would have planned for things like this. The snacks, however, were very dusty since I dont think anyone would pay $8.00 for a quarter ounce of gummy bears! Also, there are sensors on the snacks so if you pick them up for longer than 20 seconds, the snack automatically gets charged to your room. We ended up eating lunch at the Food Market which has something for everyone, had dinner at Alta Strada (amazing!), had cheesecake at Juniors, had a late night gelati at the Gelato Cafe, and had breakfast at Juniors the next morning. We checked out the shopping, which was nothing to brag about, but did like the variety of restaurants. We arrived in the early afternoon, checked in and unpacked. For the most part, we had an awesome time with just one problem.the noise from Shrine.
