The MGM Grand Hotel, Casino & Theme Park represented a project of unprecedented scale. Aside from the sheer size of the complex, the sprawling Las Vegas structure was adorned with trappings to attract every type of customer.

MGM Resorts International is creating environments where entertainment, beauty, safety and responsibility are the hallmarks of our business. We care for our communities through volunteerism and philanthropy. Grand Bay Driving Range is located at the southeast corner of the resort property along the north shore of the Grand Bay. The outdoor range features eight island greens, each varying in distance and difficulty, dotted along a large body of water.

The resort, which is the first-ever Harrah’s — making it something of a signature flagship property for the brand — is a solid value with reasonable rates. Its appreciation for entertainment is reflected in the more recent addition of the Plaza, an outdoor amphitheater that draws national headliners, often for free shows in the summer. It’s not quite Sammy’s, but at least everyone is facing the same direction.

If you are flying into McCarran International Airport, you can either rent a car, use a ridesharing service, or take public transportation to go to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. In normal traffic conditions, the drive will take you between 6 to 10m, and an Uber or Lyft will cost approximately $11 for a regular car, while an SUV starts at $19. To use public transportation, you can take the local bus, such as line 109, which will take you between 30 and 40m. A standard one-way ticket costs $2 and can be purchased directly on the bus. The stakes are high in Las Vegas, so don’t take any risks in the wrong casino.
