Park MGM Las Vegas

The basics

Although the Park MGM might not look like other flashy Vegas hotels, it still maintains the central elements of Sin City resorts: good food, showstopping entertainment, and a lively casino. Its intimate casino floor contains over 900 different games, from video poker to roulette, as well as popular table games including blackjack, roulette, craps, several variations of poker, and baccarat. Big-name acts like Lady Gaga and Cher perform at the Park Theater, and a range of cuisine, from Korean to French, is served at its restaurants including The NoMad Restaurant, which is inspired by the Library of NoMad New York. Plus, Eataly, an Italian marketplace, offers sit-down and casual dining, and coffee, wine, and gelato bars.

The Park

This outdoor dining and entertainment destination joins together New York-New York, The Park MGM, and the T-Mobile Arena. Its promenade features hundreds of trees and flowers, water features, and shade structures that light up at night, resembling giant glowing blooms. It’s open 24 hours, so you can easily take a stroll here before or after a show at the arena.
