    It's a great place to visit looks so cool but I honestly don't know how they are going to sustain near capacity bookings and revenue with these ridiculous kind of prices. I heard they are having a hard time filling up the rooms you can't tell from the prices they are charging.
    I went with my wife in August it is truly a beautiful place and I love the street food section inside the casino sampling street foods from different parts of the world. It's definitely the biggest interior of any casino that I've ever seen its massive. It was a nightmare with Uber and lift trying to find my location when we were trying to get out of there because apparently there's a front and a back entrance that looks the same nice 2 story mall attached.

    Stay off the strip. Try Northwest Vegas at the Marriot Summerlin. Much classier and probably cheaper.

    I’ve stayed at Park. Eataly is great. Very good value.

    The pool sucks, no poker room.

    The sportsbook was a counter top when I was there 2 years ago. Has something changed?

    Park MGM I meant the place that has chicken wings and burgers and stuff aling with the sports book upon the entrance to the right... I never entered but it looked cool.

    A lot of hotels the last year, since occupancy has dropped, have closed down sections of rooms/floors to create their own compression. They don't want to drop rates low because then they can't afford to serve the guests. Quick example, 500 room hotel closes 3 floors. Now a 250 rooms hotel. Instead of a bunch of rooms filled at low rates, they get lower amount of reservations with high rates instead

    Been there several times and it's nothing special; small sports book (no horses), poor video poker and typical Strip BJ. It's obviously built with the high income crowd in mind because there's plenty of space between machines and plenty of overpriced eateries.

    Certainly cant tell people paying for higher rates by the clientele/naked eye. Every time I go, I think cannot possibly see a more grotesque existence of humanity, I see much much worse each and every time and it never ceases to amaze me.

    The Crockford rooms are only $300 more a night than the Hilton portion.

    It’s pretty much just like being in a restaurant with a couple betting windows. There’s much better options if youre looking for a sportsbook to hang and watch games. However, it is probably one of the better books on that part of the strip.

    Can you please elaborate in why you think Park's MGM sportsbook is nice? It's one of the smallest rooms there are right behind NY NY. But I do agree, I love the hotel.

    Yeah I guess thats the sentiment here...I though (from outer glance never went in) looked really cool like a bar/pub/book all into one, but I guess not all that from what Im reading here. My bad.
    BTW, anyone remember Tropicanas sportsbook in the 90s? It was smaller than my teenage room LMFAO.

    Trop still has very small book

    You should see the one at Ellis Island! One cashier, one TV on the wall that I think is a 20 inch TV non HD. Window closes at 9pm. I put a $500 bet in there on the Raiders last week at the writer looked like he’s never seen that much money in his life. Holding the Hundos in the air to see if they were real and then using the pen to check them.

    I love Circa. Best book in town and they have Barry’s which is my current favorite steakhouse. Legacy Club is cool

    Problem for me with Circa is no poker room (I hate the Golden Nugget poker room so that’s not an option) and I really don’t want to be downtown for 5 nights.
