content: Once again, it is what it is. It's Motel 6, it's not the MGM Grand right across the street. As of today (3/2/14) the room cost spiked...almost double...but it's doing that across the boards on the Strip as the result of conventions coming to town. My total stay here was 9 days. It's a glass half empty, glass half full thing. They provided what I needed. The $2.99 extra per day for WiFi is a little weird, but that's just how they do it. The room was not bad at all. The one thing I haven't seen before is fake wood / bamboo floors instead of carpet. If I were AT the MGM Grand I wouldn't walk around in the room barefoot...I've seen too many of those 20/20 black light \""investigative reports.\"" But let's say you spill some water on these wood floors. Clean, clear agua. Wipe it up with a clean paper towel and it will be black. The floor LOOKS clean, but trust me. Wear slippers. Unless you're the kind of person who's not bothered by what I've just written, then go for it. Guests at the Motel range from average everyday folks too escaped inmates but this is the Vegas strip. A group of Manson family members (and I'm just guessing, but they would pass the frat hazing) bought some \""refreshments\"" at the 24 hour liquor store next door and then proceeded to get comfy under a tree with their refreshments and two pit bulls...two BIG pit bulls...that they SOMETIMES kept on their leashes. They weren't Motel guests, they were just Manson Family members (OK, \""alleged\"" Manson Family members) passing through. Was that the Motel's fault? Of course not. But it's the Vegas strip. It's not all Rod Stewart and Elton John \""residencies\"" here...walk around outside after dark (and sometimes during broad daylight) at your own risk. There is a Coco's Bakery & Restaurant next door that was a Godsend (walking distance, great \""comfort food\"" at around ten bucks a meal). Motel staff was CONSISTENTLY helpful. I'm not the most demanding guy in the world and I try to be polite to everyone but they responded promptly and professionally to any request I made...the staff is DEFINITELY a selling point of this specific Motel 6 location. There is a Rebel Gas Station & Convenience Store right across the street, great for drinks and munchies, and a McDonald's inside the MGM Grand, so you can drive to your heart's content or find anything you need within walking distance. The Motel 6 also has a small coin-operated laundry. I really liked this place. I'll be back.
