MGM Grand-West wing or standard room?

Hi,

Has anyone stayed here? Can they offer some advice as to which wing to stay in? The difference is $40 between the two.

Also: I noticed from some of the reviews that when people book rooms in Vegas, they often request a certain wing or part of the hotel. Does one do this on check-in, or should one do this upon booking the reservation?

Thanks so much,

S1 :)

MGM Grand-West wing or standard room?

Are the West Wing rooms $40 cheaper or more expensive?

When I was at MGM in October, they were in the process of renovating their ';Emerald Tower,'; which had housed the lowest-priced rooms. I%26#39;m been told that the Emerald Tower was part of an earlier hotel that stood on the property MGM bought.

This must be their new ';West Wing.'; Looking at the website I would guess that the rooms are smaller than Grand Tower rooms, but they look pretty nice nevertheless. Being freshly renovated is a big plus.
