Re: The Mansion at MGM Grand

I stayed overnight, in 1999, at the MGM Grand Mansion.  Oh, what a fortunate person was I.  Luxury unlimited.  Beautiful decor. My bathroom was ginormous with the biggest shower I'd ever seen, well, enough room for at least 8 people. Fresh flowers, (rosebuds), everywhere, even in the 'smallest room in the house', plus telephone and pen/notepaper, just incase!!!!!  Music room, with grand piano and bar.  So much to take in on such a short visit, but I can remember every detail. Even the 'drapes' and the 'sheers', (curtains and nets to us in England).  Press a button and the sheers glide open and shut.  Orchids, growing in pots, on my desk......yes, I even had my own office area.......my bed was scrumptious and the linen was a dream.  Silk, most likely.....bathrobe and shower shoes on my bed, plus a box of hand-made chocolate cigars, in an edible hand-made chocolate box - yes, really.  I still have two cigars left in my frige, they're eight years old now - oh, and there were delicacies from the Patisserie....hand-made, small, shaped biscuit/cakes, which I ate there and then. The staff were on-hand at all times, and I even had my own lift pass.....A brief, but unforgettable stay at THE very best hotel in the world. I took many photos, knowing, I suppose, that I'd never 'pass that way again'......Being under a huge glass roof, as the Spanish garden area was, gave an impression of being secure and totally safe.  The whole experience was, for me, a bit overwhelming, but, I can still remember it and smile when I do...........Fantastic.
