MGM Resorts Bets Big: $300M Revamp to Redefine Luxury at the MGM Grand

MGM Resorts International is investing $300 million in a comprehensive room and suite remodel at the iconic MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, aiming to redefine luxury and enhance the overall guest experience. The ambitious project, set to be completed by December 2025, will transform all 4,212 rooms and suites within the main tower, adding 111 new suites to the property's collection.

The revamp, designed by global architecture firm Gensler in partnership with MGM Resorts Design & Development, draws inspiration from the glamour of the disco era, seamlessly combined with modern elements to create an atmosphere that is both playful and elegant. Bold artwork and dynamic patterns will take guests on a journey through time, celebrating the resort's rich history and legacy of excitement and entertainment, while embracing its forward-looking vision.



The remodeled guest rooms are thoughtfully designed to meet the evolving needs of contemporary travelers by blending functionality, comfort, and style. Bathrooms will be upgraded with spacious walk-in showers, sleek glass enclosures, and bright porcelain finishes, creating a serene, spa-like ambiance. Integrated closets with mirrored, illuminated interiors will maximize storage and streamline the room's layout for effortless organization. Enhanced blackout drapery will eliminate light for a restful sleep, complemented by brighter materials for a more spacious feel. Wall-mounted TVs will free up valuable surface space, and minibar units will now include separate guest-use refrigerators for added convenience.

King Rooms will feature rich walnut wood finishes, warm gray textured wall coverings, and vibrant carpet designs, while Queen Rooms will showcase lighter gray stone finishes, vertical sconce accents, and tailored headboards, providing a spacious and sophisticated retreat. Upgraded media consoles across all rooms will feature a striking starburst wood pattern, enhancing the overall aesthetic. For added guest convenience, charging stations with USB, USB-C, and traditional outlets will be conveniently located on both sides of the bed, while Smart TVs will elevate the in-room entertainment experience.



New Selection of Suites
With this remodel, MGM Grand will add 111 suites to its main tower for a total of 753, ranging in size from 675 to 2,572 square feet. These newly designed suites will feature a refined blend of dark ebony and walnut wood finishes, accentuated by lighter tones and sheer roller shades that create a brighter, more inviting atmosphere. The livable entertainment areas will include comfortable sectionals and lenticular artwork that transforms based on the viewer's perspective. Bathrooms in the suites will also be fully remodeled, offering double mirrors and new showers. Suite upgrades include reconfigured layouts with enhanced privacy, multi-functional spaces for work and entertainment, and elevated finishes like quartz bathroom benches and illuminated mirrors.

Artwork
Original artwork will play an important role in the design, with each room and corridor featuring unique pieces that reflect the past, present, and future of MGM Grand. Throughout the corridors, guests will be greeted by artwork that tells a story of exploration and self-discovery, including LED art pieces reminiscent of the vibrant disco era. The floral and dreamy patterns of the carpet, along with light wood wall coverings, will create a warm welcome to the newly remodeled rooms.

New Resort Experiences
In addition to the hotel's newly designed rooms and suites, MGM Grand is introducing several new dining venues and attractions, enriching the fully integrated resort experience and furthering its legacy as a premier entertainment destination. Developments include the early 2025 opening of Netflix Bites, featuring cuisine inspired by hit Netflix shows; and the summer opening of Palm Tree Beach Club, a tropical-inspired day club from DJ Kygo's Palm Tree Crew.

The $300 million revamp of the MGM Grand is a strategic investment by MGM Resorts International, aiming to solidify the property's competitive position in the Las Vegas luxury market. By offering updated accommodations, an improved guest experience, new dining and entertainment options, and a commitment to sustainability, the MGM Grand is poised to attract luxury travelers seeking contemporary, high-end experiences in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
