  • MGM invited me to try the new Park MGM, the remodeled and rebranded Monte Carlo in Las Vegas. 
Overall the rooms were a bit below what I’d expect from a remodeled hotel. The concept is solid but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. While the bed faces a window, your view is often limited to buildings that are part of City Center. Meanwhile, the room has a ton of empty space and no outlets near the table, making it hard for business travelers to work (outlets elsewhere are plentiful). One thing not updated? Walls and doors, which let through far too much hallway and next door sound. 
Still, as a lower end MGM property, connected directly to the Aria and right by the T-Mobile Arena, I might return to this hotel when I’m the one paying my bill. 
Related, the hotel initially put me in an accessible room (with no hand towels or toiletries). When I called, asking to switch, I was told emphatically that I was wrong and was not in an accessible room. Needless to say, a second call and a chat with a manager confirmed their system — not me — was wrong. Customer service like that could be a huge issue, if it bleeds to other parts of the hotel.

  • I sped through a residential area on my way back from working out. In shorts, a t-shirt, and sneakers, I stood outside in the brisk autumn weather at the closest lake I could find, and witnessed one of the most vibrant sunrises I've ever seen. Who knew Minnesota could produce colors my phone couldn't even process?
