I checked into Park MGM in a two queen with a Strip view and tried the 20 dollar trick at the front desk. They did not have any upgrades available, which I was fine with, but they did hand me a 50 dollar food comp, so I will take that.

Walking into the room, everything was clean, tidy, and smelled fresh. The thing that caught my eye was the decor, kind of an industrial steampunk look on the fixtures that I really liked. Here is the honest version of my stay.

What I liked

It is a smoke-free hotel, so the casino floor smells clean instead of getting smoked out, my favorite part
Stylish, fresh room with a cool industrial steampunk decor and a comfy bed I slept well on
One of the best food selections on the Strip, including Eataly with its artisan restaurants
Really good center-south location by T-Mobile Arena with a tram to the Bellagio

What to know

The bathroom is small, about on par with New York-New York, though the layout is much better
The casino is slot-machine heavy and not the biggest
My Strip view was partly blocked by the casino rooftop and a wall section that did not go any higher

The room

I was on the 18th floor with a Strip view and I could see the MGM Grand, the Coca-Cola and M&M's stores, Target, and even a bit of New York-New York. Part of the view is the casino rooftop, which I did not really mind, and one wall section blocked a full view, but overall not bad.

The bathroom is small, similar in size to New York-New York but with a much better, less cramped layout. Clean tiling, a standing shower, and it felt stylish. The bed was comfy and I had a good sleep here.

Pool, casino, and food

There are three pools, the south, the north, and an 18 plus east pool, and there is no shortage of chairs. It is one of my favorite small pool areas on the Strip. The casino is slot heavy and not huge, but it has table games with 15 dollar minimums and a sports book, and the big win is that it is smoke free.

Food is where Park MGM really shines. There is Eataly with around seven artisan spots, plus Best Friend, where I had a really spicy ramen I would recommend. You can also check out the free House of Gaga exhibit with clothing from Lady Gaga's collection.

David's tip

The smoke-free casino is the standout. If you hate getting smoked out at the slots, this is one of the few places on the Strip where the floor actually smells clean.
