MGM Grand Hotel and Casino

THE STRIP. The casino at the MGM Grand is more than grand – it is the largest casino-entertainment complex in the world. Encompassing four themed gaming areas (Hollywood, Emerald City, Monte Carlo, and Sports, each with distinctive decor), the casino spans 171,500 square feet, over 50,000 more than the next-largest Vegas casino. The games offered include, but are most definitely not limited to, 3700 slot and video poker machines, 76 blackjack and 15 craps tables, and 17 roulette wheels. When the Grand opened, it took 39 armored cars two days to bring in enough money to stock the casino! Also, the Grand is an ideal place for families visiting the area; the youth center, multiple showrooms, and 33-acre theme park give children plenty of opportunities for fun while parents enjoy the gaming facilities.
