MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, a mainstay for conventions on the Las Vegas Strip, offered a glimpse of its newly renovated suites during IMEX America last week.
The hotel’s $300 million room remodel of all 4,212 rooms and suites within its main tower will roll out in December, and includes 111 new suites, for a total of 753. This follows the remodel of all 700 rooms in MGM’s Studio Tower, completed in 2022.
Global architecture firm Gensler, in partnership with MGM Resorts Design & Development, has created a modern, sophisticated look for the king and queen guest rooms. Brown tones predominate, accented by walnut and grey stone finishes, modern artwork, and spa-inspired bathrooms. New features include blackout drapery, upgraded media consoles, and charging stations on both sides of the bed.
The new suites feature entertainment areas with sectional sofas and lenticular artwork that appears different as the viewer moves around the room. The bathrooms in the suites include elevated finishes such as quartz bathroom benches and illuminated mirrors.
Customer feedback played a significant role in the redesign, said Megan Archambeault, VP of Hotel Sales. “Through conversations and research, we consistently heard a desire for true hospitality suites, with spaces that provide a defined separation between living and sleeping areas. Two-bedroom suites also continue to be among the most requested accommodations, and this remodel allowed us to expand that inventory.”
The hotel’s hallways now feature new finishes and carpeting, and LED art pieces reminiscent of the disco era. In addition to the redesign, MGM Grand is introducing several new dining venues and attractions. Early 2026 will see the opening of Netflix Bites, featuring cuisine inspired by hit Netflix shows, and the Palm Tree Beach Club, a tropical-inspired day club, will open next summer.
Archambeault could not confirm if room rates would increase upon completion of the project, but said, “Any rate growth will be in line with the Las Vegas market conditions.”
