It’s not a casino, but it’s connected to one… that counts right? Signature is a series of three elegant towers rising above the landscape adjacent to the MGM Grand and only a hop, skip, and jump or two from the Strip. These are gated resorts with a range of suites in each. Towers 1 and 3 have fitness centers and all three have heated outdoor pools, so if you like to swim but hate working out 2 is the place for you. Otherwise most accommodations are identical including individual valet at each individual tower. All three structures are connected via indoor walkways to each other and to the MGM Grand, and guests at each enjoy all of the perks of one staying within the MGM Grand. The bonus is these towers offer nicer rooms, better service, and a better view from the upper floors of either the Strip or the surrounding mountains. The downside is only that there is going to be a bit more walking involved when you feel like gambling or checking out the scenery of the Strip.
The service and the view is outstanding, however it is a 4.5 star hotel, not a 5 star hotel – they are priced 5 star however due perhaps to the general feel of the place and the view. It’s not the Bellagio though. Signature attracts a more affluent crowd, and often families. This is also great for those who like the Strip in small doses and want an easy and nearby retreat from the chaos. Also, the views are quite breathtaking from the upper floors so that should not be overlooked. In general Signature is not as well known as most Strip or near the Strip resorts and the clientele varies. Booking ahead is highly recommended, and you may have better luck here than Strip casinos but they may fill up during busy holidays and weekends.

Note: Signature does not have a Casino. The following amenities, entertainment, gaming options, etc are available at MGM Grand and guests of Signature have full access to all MGM Grand has to offer
Gambling
It is the largest casino floor in Las Vegas at 171,500 square feet. Don’t get too impressed however because it is not even in the top ten largest in the world. The largest casino floor is the Venetian in China at around half a million square feet. Still, the MGM Grand is enormous and it features all of the popular casino games from Blackjack to Roulette and everything else you’ll find in any Vegas casino. It also has tons of slot machines in every corner of the casino floor, a large poker room, and considering its size a relatively small Race and Sports Book at only 104 seats, 94 televisions and 44 big screens.
Restaurants
You have tons of options for where to eat including Joel Robuchon, L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Seablue, Tom Colicchio’s Craft Steakhouse, Pearl, Diego, Fiamma Trattoria, Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House, Nobhill Tavern, Rainforest Café, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, Grand Wok and Sushi Bar, Shibuya, Studio Café, Stage Deli, Grand Buffet, witchcraft, and the Cabana Grille which is open in the summer months. They also have a large food court with several options.
Drinks
There are bars throughout the casino floor and drinks are free for gamblers, tipping of course is customary. Tabu ultra lounge doubles as a nightspot and during the day a bar/ restaurant. MGM Grand is not a top choice for party goers outside of Tabu and Studio 54.
