A Week in Vegas: Your Itinerary

16 Dec 2024
Vegas is a city that offers visitors a rainbow of different experiences in a comparatively very small space. Here in Sin City, you can see artists like Cher or Adele live in concert, dine on world-renowned cuisine, enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking, go to a museum, shop till you drop, tan by the pool, take a chance at the blackjack tables or have a continental breakfast in bed with a view of the city all in one town! If you’re visiting Vegas for the first time, all of this might be a bit overwhelming, so we’ve put together a mock itinerary for you to follow so you get the best of everything in one week.

Where to Stay

If you want the most inclusive and comfortable experience in Vegas, there's really only one choice: The MGM resort spa and Hotel.

There are numerous room options, from a place that is simply somewhere comfortable for you to lay your head between dinners, shows, and day trips to a palace or a suite that would be comfortable for a king or president in town for the week.
Some of the options include:

- Studio King, for max two guests. These rooms are decked out on warm tones, bringing the gorgeous natural rock features outside of Vegas in for you. Relax in incredible comfort in a studio room that evokes the glamour of bygone eras across 350 square feet and one king bed.

- Grand King, for max three guests. This grandly proportioned 445 square foot room is very Vegas, bringing the excitement of the city into your room while still managing to keep the space chic and calming. This award winning room is sleek from the luxurious bed to the modern furnishings.

- Stay Well Executive King Suite, for max 4 guests. You’ll get some spa access with this suite, as well as a king bed and other sleeping space for an additional 2 guests and Cleveland Clinic sleep programs. Plus furnishings, gorgeous views and space to work or play.

- Skyline Terrace Suite, max 2 guests. If you’re in town for a  long stay, this is an excellent choice. Spread out over 1300 square feet of space and enjoy your private outdoor patio, wet bar and whirlpool spa tub. Vaulted ceilings and incredible views complete the package.

The hotel also offers Sky Lofts in the one, two and three bedroom variety which are excellent choices if your party is a larger one. The MGM Grand loves fluffy four legged visitors too, so dog friendly rooms are available for those traveling with man’s best friend.

If you’re visiting during the holidays, check the MGM Grand website for dark dates, as there will be a few days when certain shows will close for Christmas.
International cuisine

Dining

The collection of world cuisines available to choose from in Vegas is staggering. Since chefs of an incredible calibre come here from all over the planet, especially to the MGM itself, you can be sure that your dining will never be dull.

The MGM Grand Buffet is the best buffet in town, hands down! You can dine from Monday to Sunday between 8 am and 3pm and the selection of American and international dishes will cater to the whims of every food lover.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is a far more specialized experience. The finest fine dining and French cuisine await you here in unique concept restaurants where each meal is prepared as you watch. Though the dining is fine, the atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly and the dishes are award winning.

Grand Wok Noodle Bar. If traditional Asian cuisine is more your thing, the this is the spot to book. Enjoy classic Asian dishes from pot stickers to tofu and black pepper beef with noodles in this relaxed restaurant.

Nellie's Southern Kitchen looks very different than the name implies, Yes, you’ll get a range of deliciously decadent Southern dishes here (think comfort food like pulled pork, chicken and dumplings or Southern meatloaf) but you’ll get them in an impeccably designed surprisingly formal setting, The interiors are chic but comfortable, so prepare to be delegated by both them and the meals.

Relaxation

Set aside some “you” time for taking it easy and recharging each day. The MGM Grand has a host of restful, exciting or restorative options depending on what you’re looking for.

Visit the pool complex for 6.5 acres of water activities. From regular swimming pools (with separate pools for kids and adults for those who prefer them) to whirlpools, cascading waterfalls and even a Lazy River there's something for everyone. Book a cabana and got a poolside massage or watched your favourite team on the flat screen TVs.

Book a treatment (or three) at the spa and salon. Visit the fitness center to keep up with your workouts, sweat out some toxins in the sauna or check into one of the thirty treatment rooms for wraps, facials, hair and makeup that leave you looking and feeling fresh and relaxed.

Your Vegas Trip Awaits

Now that your schedule is packed with excitement and relaxation, the only thing left to do is actually book your trip! A stay at the MGM Grand exemplifies the best that Vegas has to offer for a range of tastes and budgets. We can't wait to see you there.
