Can anyone give me their opinion on the Terrace Suites at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas please?

We are planning a wedding in June of '09 and I was thinking that we would have the wedding in the Terrace Suites at the MGM. Las Vegas offers "traveling ministers" (go figure) and I thought this would be an alternative to the wedding chapels and the cost of those. Although, I realize that the Terrace Suites are expensive too, I'd rather have a private ceremony with our guests, and a small reception on the terrace, then go out for dinner and who knows after.



Does anyone know of any other "terrace suites" overlooking the strip in Las Vegas. I've been looking online and there isn't much that is advertized.

I stayed at a Terrace Suite. It was big %26amp; like being in someone's apartment. It didn't have much of a view of the strip (B/C of where MGM is located...we just saw NY, NY). I would definitely want to see the room before I booked a wedding there. How many people are you thinking of having? Think about a 1 bedroom apartment. Would you hold a wedding in that?
The rooms are great and about the most expensive ones you can get on the strip. It's for dumb, wealthy tourists who don't care what they spend. You'll have a great view and all the amenities - and by the way, any "BELLHOP CAPTAIN" can marry guests above the 5th floor (just a joke). The terrace itself is too small to hold a wedding on and too noisy too - you get all the traffic noise from Tropicana Blvd. and the Strip.



I'll tell you why I will never go to MGM for a room:



1) The parking is a really long way from the room. It takes too long to get to your vehicle and you have difficulty finding a parking space when the hotel is really busy. Not taking a car or renting one? Good, you'd have difficulty finding it if you did.

2) There are LINES to register and to check out which are simply staggering. If you go on the weekend plan to spend an hour coming and going, just waiting for your turn in line.

3) There are even some LINES to get on the elevators - if you love standing in lines and being packed in with tourists who have not bathed in 24 hrs and all smell like alcohol, well then, you've picked the right place. MGM has 5,000 rooms and is the LARGEST HOTEL ON THE PLANET.

4) SERVICE IS SLOW everywhere you go in the hotel - there is simply no way to service all the customers when the hotel is busy.

5) I enjoy the atmosphere at MGM, but I get tired of it pretty quickly and I prefer smaller casinos which really appreciate your business and where they wait on you hand and foot. There are MANY VERY NICE HOTELS which offer great rooms for a FRACTION OF THE PRICE AT MGM. Check on line for all the bargains.



Edit: Looks like some employee at MGM is handing all of us a thumbs down. Figures. Still, I like the MGM but my tastes are leaning toward more intimate surroundings and better personalized service by a hotel staff. At MGM the men will enjoy the cocktail waitressed in push-up bras and short skirts - really some of the best in Vegas.



EDIT #II Why are you being so controling? Your questions aren't the sort that are generally asked in this forum of total strangers. Two of us have actually stayed at the MGM and we gave you our opinions already. If you are acting as a front for MGM and looking for free advertising that is inappropriate and not permitted by Y/A. If you are sincere you should contact the hotel directly, take a virtual tour, or seek out a good psychic.Can anyone give me their opinion on the Terrace Suites at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas please?
I can't offer any advice on this myself, but a very good resource for information like this is the Las Vegas forum on the Trip Advisor web site.
