Thinking of visiting or staying at the MGM Grand hotel with your kids?
The MGM Grand has become a Las Vegas landmark with the sparkling green-lighted building and along with the giant golden lion that kids adore, propped at the entrance to this grand resort.
Known as "The City of Entertainment", this hotel offers entertainment for all ages including amazing mega-concerts in its Grand Garden Arena, headliners in its Hollywood Theatre, and a number of other musical, theatrical, and sporting events in its additional venues.
With more than 5,000 rooms on the premises, there‘s a room for every budget.
The Grand Spa is large yet relaxing and kids will love the pool area, one of the most elegant (yet fun!) in town, hosting 3 waterfalls, fountains, bridges and a relaxing river, great for floating your cares away. Tons of shops are available for browsing and buying and Dads will enjoy knowing that golf is just a short drive from the hotel.
MGM Grand's Lion Habitat houses numerous lions (a real treat for nature lovers and Animal Channel fans.) Admission is free and the habitat is open daily.
Are kids allowed in the MGM Grand hotel?Yes, children are indeed allowed in the MGM Grand, however, Nevada State Law prohibits minors (those under 21 years of age) to loiter in the casino. Specifically, children cannot hang around gaming areas--even if accompanied by a parent or guardian over 21 years old. They may, however, walk through the casino en route to another part of the hotel, but again, while accompanied by a parent or guardian over 21 years of age. Parents and/or guardians may not gamble with minors (children) sitting or standing next to them at any time. This includes quickly dropping a coin or two in a machine while walking with a child. Lastly, children may not touch the gaming devices including slot machines and table games.
Do kids stay free at the MGM?Yes, children 12 years and younger may stay free of charge at the Luxor.

What's the best thing to do for kids at the MGM Grand?Kids will go wild for the Lion Habitat at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. MGM film studios has had a long-standing tradition of featuring lions as mascots in their productions since the 1920s - with 'Leo' as current leading lion. Since then, MGM "honors the lion" by displaying these creatures as educational specimens for the general public. These lions are hardly caged animals; they reside on 8.5-acres just a few miles from the MGM Grand and receive the highest quality of care from cat specialist, Keith Evans.

Located on Las Vegas Boulevard at Showcase Mall - a massive collection of buildings housing M&M World, GameWorks, Hard Rock Cafe - the kids will be thrilled to know they are visiting the only Coca-Cola retail store on the west coast of the United States. There's everything from memorabilia to the iconic Coke polar bear - free to take a picture with. Most visitors rave about the Around the World tray: a 16-cup tray with samples of Coke flavors from around the globe - just $7! Watch out for the Beverly, an Italian Coke product. It's known to be a very acquired taste.
Also on the Las Vegas Boulevard, from Sahara to Russell Avenue, the Walk of Stars is a must-see attraction.
