First the "goods". The location of this property is fantastic. Great view of the strip from the 33rd floor, and only a couple of block walk off the strip. Cindy, the host, was extremely responsive. All questions were answered within a couple of hours, many within minutes of messaging her through the VRBO app. Thank you!
The "Ok's" - The condo is a bit dated, nothing terrible, but could probably use a refresh. Flooring/carpet/baseboards/curtains. Not a huge deal for a vacation rental, but it is Vegas and relatively expensive, so a few upgrades would of a long way to making you feel like it's worth the cost (and a few upgrades would also go well with the stunning view of the strip from a top floor). Cindy has three unites. Two of them of have an adjoining door, one of them does not. The third unit is directly next to the other two a door down on the same side.I thought they all connected, but I mayhave misread, so it wasn't a big deal for our family. It actually worked out ok, since my parents, who are older were able to retreat to their own room to escape the toddlers for a bit! Just something to note regarding the adjoining of the condos in the event you decide to rent all three for a large party like we did.
The "could use some improvement" areas - The big one was the cleaning/cleanliness of the unit. I believe this falls squarely on the MGM signature property itself, not the host. I am sure that she pays a cleaning fee to the MGM, and they really need to pick up their game. There were dirty dishes, with food on them, in the dishwasher when we arrived. We found pen*# shaped confetti and gummies in two of the units, from what I can only assume was a bachelorette party that stayed in our units prior to us. There was some type of plumbing issue, where there was black dirt coming up out of the shower drains in one. It was dirty when we arrived, I washed it down, and then over the next could have days it was dirt again. I am sure that the MGM cleaning staff would have seen this when they cleaned it, but probably neglected to let the owner or maintenance know. A couple of the plugs behind the stove didn't work in one. Also, because this is a third part rental, the MGM signature will not provide anything. You need an extra garbage bag or to have garbage picked up? Nope, they won't do it. Luckily, Cindy the host, did tell us to leave the garbage near the elevator garbage can and it was picked up. Bring extra garbage bags or whatever else you may need.
