The room was complimentary due to my gaming activity within the MGM Rewards program, however, I was still on the hook for the $39 resort fee + tax. I recently had a chance to stay in one of Park MGM’s baseline King Rooms for the first time since the resort’s rebranding and look forward to sharing my experience along with plenty of pictures! Park MGM has always intrigued me as a mid-tier hotel option that’s nicer than the likes of Excalibur and Luxor, but not quite at the level of resorts like Bellagio, Aria, and Vdara. Notably, Park MGM is currently the only smoke-free casino in Las Vegas, which either adds to its appeal… or dissuades you from staying there, depending on your perspective.
In addition to renovating and refreshing guestrooms and common areas, Park MGM added an exciting lineup of dining options that include Bavette’s Steakhouse, Best Friend, and Eataly, which has the feel of an Italian street market. Formerly Monte Carlo, Park MGM metamorphosized into its current form as part of a $550 million rebranding project that wrapped up in 2019.
