Bottom Line

Skylofts is the luxury section of MGM Grand, offering some of the most exclusive accommodations not just within the hotel but in Vegas. All of the rooms are one-, two-, and three-bedroom duplex lofts (they start at 1,400 square feet) with big living areas and sophisticated but understated urban decor; prices are usually upwards of $1,000 a night. High-end extras include airport transfers in a Rolls-Royce Ghost limousine; a calm, private reception area for Skylofts guests with a separate entrance; in-loft check-ins (no waiting in line!); and access to Skylounge on the 29th floor for cocktails and appetizers. But most facilities, such as the main fitness center and the spa, must be shared with MGM guests.

Skylofts at MGM Grand

Location

Close to the midpoint of the southern half of the Las Vegas Strip, across from New York, New York.

Skylofts at MGM Grand is located at about the midpoint of the southern half of the 3.5-mile-long stretch of hotel-casinos known as the Las Vegas Strip, across from New York, New York and just north of the Tropicana.

Many Las Vegas visitors want to explore all of the big properties along the Strip. Cabs are easy to find at virtually any time of day or night. A generally less expensive option is the Deuce, a double-decker bus that runs up and down the strip 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There's also a monorail system, which stops at Bally's, Caesars Palace, Harrah's, the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Hilton, and the Sahara station (the hotel itself closed), in addition to the MGM Grand. If you're traveling along the Strip with at least one other person, however, a cab is often the least expensive option.

Virtually every hotel on the Las Vegas Strip is a 10- to 15-minute cab ride from McCarran International Airport; the ride typically costs about $15.

Rooms

Huge duplex lofts start at 1,400 square feet.

The lofts are as lofty as advertised: All have duplex layouts with downstairs living rooms and plenty of space. The understated decor from designer Tony Chi is inspired by urban loft spaces in cities like New York and Hong Kong. Bathrooms are impressive, featuring fancy showers with rain and steam settings, Bulgari toiletries, mirror TVs, and big soaking tubs with massaging jets ("Dream" butlers are on hand to draw your bath and pour champagne).

  • Huge duplex layouts
  • Impressive bathrooms with jetted tubs and fancy "immersion" showers with rainfall showerheads
  • Flat-screen TVs and iPod docks
  • Jura Capresso Impressa espresso machines
  • Minibars, glasses, and full-size liquor bottles. Water and soft drinks are free.
  • Universal remotes for controlling lighting, temperature, and music
  • High-end bedding and a pillow menu with 15 pillows
  • Great closets with floor-to-ceiling shelving units
  • Big windows; some rooms have views of the Strip.
  • Two- and three-bedroom suites have billiard or foosball tables.
  • Some Two-Bedroom Suites have outdoor patios with plunge pools.
  • No kitchenettes, but some suites have butlers' pantries with microwaves.
