Today’s MGM Grand Provides Ultimate Las Vegas Experience


LAS VEGAS – If you haven’t been to MGM Grand lately, you haven’t been here. On the eve of the resort’s 10th anniversary, with the culmination of a multi-year evolution in sight, MGM Grand provides the best of everything visitors come to Las Vegas to find. From A-list entertainment to award-winning restaurants, high-energy nightlife to relaxing rejuvenation. Maximum energy. Maximum indulgence. Maximum escape. Today’s MGM Grand provides a Maximum Vegas experience all under one roof. MGM Grand prides itself not on a theme, but on delivering an unforgettable Las Vegas experience.

MGM Grand President Gamal Aziz said, “The MGM Grand of today is nothing like the resort that opened in 1993. We have come a long way in 10 years. We’ve combined excitement with escapism and an exceptional level of service so when people stay at MGM Grand they feel special in a way they won’t feel anywhere else.”

The evolution began with the opening of NOBHILL in August 2001. Designed to recreate both the atmosphere and cuisine of San Francisco neighborhood restaurants, NOBHILL features the freshest products direct from the Bay Area. In 2002, NOBHILL was nominated for the James Beard Foundation Best New Restaurant award. The nomination marked only the second time a restaurant from Las Vegas was selected for consideration for the Best New Restaurant category.

MGM Grand introduced two additional restaurant offerings in 2002 - Pearl, Chinese modern with a contemporary presentation, and Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak, named “Best New Restaurant” in Las Vegas at the 2003 Epicurean Awards. The lobby bar, Zuri, a contemporary twist on a classic martini bar, was added in November 2002.

This year MGM Grand set the Las Vegas nightlife scene on fire with the February introduction of Tabú - a chic, cosmopolitan ultra lounge symbolizing everything beautiful, sophisticated and innovative. Designed by the incomparable architect Jeffrey Beers, Tabú’s design is a distinct combination of modern fashion and refined style.



With the relaxed lounge atmosphere of Zuri, the sophisticated environment of Tabú and the high-energy excitement of Studio 54, MGM Grand is the place for nightlife in Las Vegas.

Mr. Aziz said, “MGM Grand has experienced a complete makeover in the last two years. But the best is yet to come. Our guests have told us that they would like us to provide the ideal Las Vegas stay, and the MGM Grand of today doesn’t disappoint.”

The evolutionary energy continues in 2003 with the additions of Fiamma Trattoria and Michael Mina’s SEABLUE. Fiamma brings famed restaurateur Stephen Hanson to Las Vegas for his first venture outside of New York. A casual version of New York's 3-star Fiamma Osteria, Fiamma Trattoria brings SoHo to the Strip with updated versions of traditional Italian specialties. Fiamma Trattoria opened this August to rave reviews.

Most recently, Michael Mina introduced his newest concept, SEABLUE, to the Las Vegas restaurant scene. Designed by architect Adam Tihany with a focus on the clean elements of water and stone, SEABLUE is a Mediterranean-influenced fish market with moderate prices and phenomenal food.

Then in Summer 2004, MGM Grand will introduce to Las Vegas a show like no other production in the world. MGM Grand’s new Cirque Du Soleil production promises to set the world of creative theatre on its head. The creators are developing technology and perspectives never before seen, let alone dreamed possible.

Mr. Aziz said, “Our guests tell us they like having the best of everything in one place. So during the last 24 months, we’ve been working hard to enhance the overall guest experience at MGM Grand and deliver everything visitors desire from a Las Vegas vacation.”

Award-winning restaurants, innovative, world-class entertainment, and high-energy nightlife combined with superior service, luxurious accommodations, a grand pool complex and a celebrated spa provide one powerful package of energy, indulgence and escape. That’s a maximum Vegas experience. That’s MGM Grand.
