MGM Grand Las Vegas recently finished their remodeling project that cost more than $160 million. The entire MGM was made better, starting from their 4000+ rooms and suits and finishing with new 80 000 square feet night club, not to mention everything in between. So it might be about time to head out to Las Vegas for some serious entertainment, and specifically to MGM Grand which has declared itself as the Entertainment Authority.

Yes, you are right. Without even noticing it, I've fallen into my summer-mode.

He might have been right at that time – as he was using even cheaper hotels ( probably something like 50-80 Dirhams a face) we were in this time (75-125 Dirhams a face). But what we saw during our trip this time – you can find pretty great hotels for very little money. For 230 Dirhams for a room for two you could get a very nic... read more
