"This was my first omakase experience and man did we do a good job picking a place! I found this place through the DineLA restaurants but wasn't able to attend last month due to covid and was able to reschedule our reservation for November. Every month they release a new menu and i believe it's 3 different types with different price points. We had picked the Hazuki but i think our waitress misheard us and we ended up doing the Uzuki one. We didn't realize it till we got to our last portion but no harm, as were able to try out the Miso Crab Salmon Caviar and the A5 Wagyu Beef. If i had to pick my favorite thing from the whole meal, it has to be the Miso Crab Salmon. It was sooooooo good, my husband ended up asking for one for himself after he saw me eating mine. The miso sauce was just so good and tangy and the crab filling with the salmon was just spot on. All of the sushi's were great and honestly only like 2 really needed like a little more sauce. I'm honestly not super good with the names, but the one with miso and the scallop sushi were definitely my favorite ones! The toro ikura caviar was so refreshing and flavorful. The A5 Wagyu was a little too chard for me on the outside but man it was like super buttery and juicy when you bit into it. Definitely super good! The Chawanmushi was so creamy and smooth, I'm not a huge steamed egg fan but it definitely had me looking it up online today trying to see if i could recreate it. For the desert i will say the matcha cheesecake was not it for me, it was missing something to it. I found that mixing it with the Coconut mango pudding made it taste better. But I'd opt for just the coconut pudding next time and that says a lot considering i don't like coconut hahah. The whole experience was very nice and the staff was very attentive and the wait was honestly perfect. I left feeling satisfied and not stuff. It was a great experience and would happily return to try the Hazuki Omakase. Definitely a 5/5. Solid ambiance, food and service!"

"**Check-in:** Our reservation was a bit unusual, as we had a complimentary night from the MyVegasSlots app for our first night and a separate reservation for the remaining two nights. We arrived around 8 PM on a Thursday, and the check-in process was quick. Because we had two reservations, we only needed to visit the reservations desk on the second day before 11 AM to have our room key reactivated, which was straightforward. **Room:** The room felt quite dated. While the beds were comfortable and served as a decent base for our weekend, there was nothing particularly special about the accommodation, aside from a nice mirror in the bathroom. The toilets were loud, and the shower pressure was only average. There was no microwave or fridge available for our use. Thankfully, our room was relatively close to an elevator, though it still took some time to get from our room to the elevator since the property is quite large, requiring a fair bit of walking. **Restaurants:** We found the dining options at the hotel unappealing, so we explored other MGM properties for meals. They have a variety of choices, but nothing tempted us. We did end up purchasing water and snacks from a shop near the elevators, where bottled water was $8 and tall cans were similarly priced. **Pool:** The pool area is likely the best aspect of the hotel. It features multiple pools, a lazy river, and towel service. Fortunately, it wasn’t overly crowded, making it easy to find a shaded spot to relax. **Casino:** This doesn't affect my overall rating, but we weren’t lucky at the tables or slots – such is the nature of gambling! However, there were plenty of slots and tables available, and it was not crowded, so finding a seat was easy. **Overall:** Is it a decent hotel? Yes. Would I choose to stay here again? It wouldn’t be my first option, but I wouldn’t mind staying here again either. Most of the attractions we wanted to visit were situated at the mid or far end of the Strip, so if your plans are mostly on this side, it could be a good location. If you value the pool experience during your trip, this one is among the best in Las Vegas. Plus, Hakkasan and Wet Republic are located on the property."
