Awesome, MGM-owned casinos are the clear best for gambling (at least for table games anyway, don't know about slots) in Vegas if you're not a high roller. The MGM Grand sometimes has a blackjack game where the dealer stands on soft 17 for only a $10 table minimum- as far as I know, it's the only place on the strip you can get those rules for that low a limit- see if you can find it.
Really? My report is basically the exact opposite of this.
I'll say from the start that we were there the week of some big UFC title fight, so the place was packed, mostly with MMA fans, so maybe that affects the experience a bit.
But honestly, we kept leaving to seek out other places to gamble because the minimums there were too high. I didn't find the game you were speaking of. We only went to about four different casinos, but ALL of them had the lame-ass "blackjack pays 6 to 5" and "dealer hits on soft 17" rules in place. MGM had $15 minimums as far as I could tell (the place was packed though). When I felt like playing, I usually walked over to Excalibur which had both $10 minimums for blackjack and craps (cousin's game of choice).
Anyway, the rooms were nice enough, but I don't really have much to compare them to, and I have no idea what the actual cost was because someone else booked them and paid for them. I guess it was decent for a hotel, but the casino was way overcrowded, all of the bars were way overpriced, and the minimums were too high for our liking.
