Mid 50’s couple planning our first trip to Vegas for our anniversary and trying to decide where to stay is a little overwhelming to say the least.

I currently have reservations at the Las Vegas Marriott, but starting to think it’s going to be quite the hike to get to the heart of the strip. I’ve started looking at switching our reservations and have looked into the MGM Grand, but I’m having a difficult time determining if it’s an old property that’s run down or if it’s a good option that clean and decent location (realizing it’s toward the south end of the strip).

Anyone that has stayed there recently that could provide feedback or other recommendations that are in similar price range would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if it’s not asking too much, anyone with any good show or entertainment suggestions for a couple would also be greatly appreciated.
