Pro # 1 -10 non smoking

Second hand smoke is a danger and a nuisance-let’s face it, cigarette smoke is heinous. Thank you for a great video!! Very helpful. This is definitely going to be a place for me!!

Glad you liked it Linda! We also appreciate the option of having a non smoking property. The Plaza is also going to have a non smoking area, but not completely non smoking like Park MGM.

I absolutely love the no-smoking policy. If I'm sitting at a slot machine that's paying off, I don't have to worry about moving due to the smell of smoke. There are no ashtrays filled with dirty ashes and butts. The air is really clean, and your fellow gamblers just look a lot healthier 😁.

Stayed at Park a couple of times with another scheduled this fall. Really enjoy the property and what it has to offer. No longer a smoker so I REALLY appreciate the Non smoking designation. Wife has issues with smoke so it's great to be able to not have to even think about it here.

My parents used to love the Monte Carlo. The layout with registration next to the room elevators and then leading directly to the casino was perfect for them, as they had mobility issues. I do like Park MGM, and always visit their casino multiple times during my trips because they are non-smoking. The tram to Aria and Bellagio is convenient: I usually stay at Bellagio because they have better rooms. I don’t stay at Park MGM because of the rooms. I expect quality hotel rooms to have a soaking tub and shower: the bathrooms and the hotel room in general are too small. People attending a concert on site or an event at T-Mobile Arena will like the rooms just fine. I wish MGM Resorts would give up and add free mini refrigerators to their rooms.

My family and I LOVE that it's non smoking. We spend all day consumed in smoke and it's nice to end the day with smoke free air. It gives our eyes and lungs a break, which in turn allow us to "keep going" longer.

Same! It was weird being at Park for 2 days and then going to a regular casino, it felt like everyone was smoking! LOL, Don't get me wrong, I'm a former smoker and believe in "to each his own", but it is nice to have a break.

Park MGM has grown on me the past couple of years. I’ve enjoyed their simple casino layout, connection through the tram to aria/bellagio, and location.

It does seem like the type of property certain personality types would fall in love with. Big without being to big, hits all the basic with style without being crazy. Great mix of cozy and style. Especially that style having the old Monte Carlo swagger that no other place has in Vegas. Then a prime location on top of everything else.

Love that it's a smoke free casino & hotel. If you want to smoke, go outside or go elsewhere.

Great run down of the pros and cons! Walking through the casino just a week ago, the vibe felt classy yet fun for all ages, without being crazy busy. My family and I love food, so we're always looking at Vegas through that lens. We stopped in specifically to get lunch at Eataly on our way out of Vegas. The stand inside Eataly with "fritti" (fried food) and "panini" (Italian grilled sandwiches) is the best! Everyone goes to the pizza stand and it's good, but the fritti/panini stand is the real star. If I were staying on property and wanted coffee, I would skip Starbucks and get coffee at Caffe Lavazza in Eataly. The coffee is far superior, there was no line whatsoever, and the desserts there are things of beauty. The House of Gaga was a nice little surprise and worth stopping in if you love fashion and want to look at some of her incredible pieces up close. A friend of mine is a DJ at On The Record nightclub . I haven't been there yet, but it looks like a fun experience with a mixed crowd and relaxed vibe. He plays the Soul Sonic Afterparty there on certain nights and Anderson Paak sometimes comes in and hangs out.

Non-smoking is definitely a plus and the Park MGM is close to so many other cool things on the stop! Worth a stop

I love staying at Park mgm. It's close to the airport, it's quiet cause it's not at the center of the strip and the Dolby theatre is literally downstairs from your room. Some cons would be no refrigerator or coffee maker in the rooms. But there's a target nearby to buy some groceries and there's also a Starbucks in the hotel

No smoking is a huge plus for us. Other places smell of pot in the elevators sometimes on the floor.

Yes, big pro for us too!

We were just there 2 days ago - didn't stay just visited the casino, love the non smoking, air is clean and don't have to worry that I am going to have to leave a machine because a smoker comes to set beside me. I am a reformed smoker so I know it both ways. VP pay scales were low but likely no different that any other strip casino at the quarter level. I like the fact that they have music playing and Friday from 1-3 pm the drink service was great. In the two hours that I was there I was offered a cocktail or beverage 5x's. The casino was busy but no so much that I couldn't play the machines that I wanted to. After your room review I hope to stay there my next trip.

I never liked the Monte Carlo, so I’m glad to see the renovations. The nonsmoking is a definite plus, I’ll consider it for my next trip.

You can hear your neighbors raising and lowering their shades fairly clearly. No big deal unless its 7:00 am, then its noticeable and a bit annoying. Pools are super chill btw, relaxing and not at all the party pool of MGM Grand or old MC. Its actually a nice place to spend a mid morning, early afternoon.

My younger brother and I stayed at the Monte Carlo several times. He has since passed from cancer two years ago, so I do have some cherished memories of our time there. I especially remember the good times my brother and I had eating at the Monte Carlo buffet. I see several comments calling the new Park MGM bland. I agree. I don't smoke, but I thought it was so 'Las Vegas' when I saw a cigarette machine in the slots area. Look up old pictures of the Monte Carlo. There are 100's of people at the pools and having a great time. There was a wave pool, a regular pool, hot tubs, and a lazy river. The pool area had a volleyball court, and I had a blast playing volleyball. I haven't stayed at the Park MGM but if I do, I think I will find it depressing because of what it used to be and also because I was a little younger back then and my younger brother was still with me. The old Monte Carlo was like entering a tropical island resort.

1:00 Parking is free for Pearl on up...........the credit card gives you Pearl but it can also be earned..........Self-parking is complimentary for Pearl, Gold, Platinum and NOIR MGM Rewards Members. Guests must insert their MGM Rewards card at the exit gate to receive the free parking benefit.

Love the non smoking policy! We just stayed there but we had the red tiles. Ahhh is the green room is for the 2 beds and red for king?

You are correct, at least that has been our experience on all of our stays. Thanks for watching and asking a question, we appreciate you!

Great video Seb and Kristine. I love Park MGM. I'm a smoker, but going outside doesn't bother me. I don't smoke on the tables anyway, just to be polite to the dealer and other players. Here are some other things I thought of: Pros: ABC Store across the street is a lifesaver, as well as a money saver. Primrose is a great breakfast spot. And in the early afternoon, if the bar is still open, you can nibble on their amazing deep fried vegetable plate. Basically tempura. As a MGM Rewards Gold Member, they hook you up with: $250 food/beverage credit, $225 Freeplay, no resort fees, and free parking/valet. Uber/Lyft pick-up and drop off is right off the main lobby. Cons: No 24 hour food restaurant/cafe. You have to take a 5 minute walk to ARIA Patisserie or Denny's across the street. No big deal. No desk in the room and lack of shelf space. That round table gets full quick if you have two people in the room. When a concert is going on the middle of the casino gets nuts before the concert. The entire casino is nuts after the concert. I was there for Lady Gaga Jazz and Bruno Mars/Silk Sonic. I hid just drank in my room after 10pm.

Why’d they take out the lazy river?! Great video.
