Graham Bell checks into the Signature at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Check-in experience: Pleasant and helpful. Everything explained clearly by attentive staff. This place is so immense it left us feeling a little shellshocked.
The room: 22-615. On the 22nd floor of Tower one. There are three identical towers, each of 38 storeys. A large studio-type room with the bed as central focus. There is a lounge area with couch and armchair as well as a table-cum-desk with two chairs. The bench has a microwave but no cookware, plates, cutlery or anything that might tempt you to prepare food there. There was not even a jug to boil water in. There was a small, rudimentary, coffee maker, which we did not attempt to use. Thankfully there was an efficient fridge. A 40-inch flat-screen TV was easy to use and of good quality. The bathroom was also big with separate bath, shower box, twin basin vanity and a small TV on the bench. The toilet, accessed through the bathroom was also in a small separate room. The main room had a balcony beyond floor-to-ceiling sliders that provided a magnificent view of Las Vegas' southern end.
The bed: A king size bed with a selection of pillows. Comfortable but it squeaked every time either of us moved. The bed had a sheetmetal construction that defied my attempts to quieten it.
Food and drink: Not a lot of options onsite at the towers. There is a small general store on the ground floor of Tower One selling small snack items and alcoholic drinks, including beer, wine and spirits at reasonable prices.
