Hollywood's golden age may have passed, but the glamour and sophistication live on at MGM Grand. This self-proclaimed "City of Entertainment" has recently undergone significant renovations in an effort to recapture the elegance of Hollywood's heyday. Choose from more than 5,000 rooms and suites, 5 pools, five performing venues and Studio 54 - a recreation of the famed New York nightclub made famous in the '70s. Fans of chef Emeril Lagasse will be happy to dine at his New Orleans Fish House, and those itching to play have 3,500-plus gaming machines to choose from. The action is endless at MGM with a 30,000-square-foot spa and a state-of-the-art fitness center. There's also the Lion Habitat where visitors can observe as many as six adult lions from the safety of a see-through tunnel. And what Hollywood haven would be complete without shopping? If you'd rather have something to show for your money rather than empty pockets, head to one of the many specialty shops selling everything from fine cigars and jewelry to your standard souvenirs.
