Good trip... Better Mattress
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/21/08
When we arrived, since we had booked a produce suite at $415 per night, we were promptly greeted and brought over to the VIP check in room. I wasn't expecting this, so that was nice. Our first impression of the room was incredible, we stayed in room 22116. The pros were as follows, the in-room whirlpool bathtub and seperate shower were both amazing, and the mattress was the best thing I have ever slept on. The view was also great. We had come to mgm to see sugarland and let me tell you the concert was awesome. I have yet to hear a better sounding theater. Now, the cons. We ate at Alta Strada which was awful. Service was great, I hated the food. Call me a snob, but I was expecting authentic italian, we got this new-age no-pasta italian. Which may be beyond me, but I hated every bite. I wanted some Chicken Marsala, or some delicious ravioli. When I asked about the ravioli, the waitress said that its different than traditional ravioli, ours is made with spinach and cheese, but no pasta. Its more of a "naked pasta". Which pretty much left me saying, "So its not ravioli?!".
Anyway, lost my shirt at gambling, and otherwise everything was fine/good. I would probobly go again to see another show, and maybe try eating at craftsteak.
