As they say y'all... Vegas is literally the adult version of Disneyland and you can be anyone whom you want to be.
My parents had decided to move from the penthouses at The Wynn during their recent trip in June 18' and extended their trip to stay at The MGM (They didn't tell me initially it was The Mansion). I have to be honest, when they first told me they were checking out of the Wynn to go to the MGM, I was certain my mom and dad had more drinks than the Real Housewives on Wine Wednesday. Little did I know they weren't simply staying at The MGM.
HELL NO
They were staying at The Mansion and I had no clue in my years of existence on this planet, this place existed within The MGM. That's the whole point though. This place is like a freakin' speakeasy property within the MGM.
When I arrived in Vegas, I had actually surprised my parents and took an uber to the standard MGM entrance. As I got to the front lobby and asked for my parents, I then knew they weren't staying in any hotel room.
I was whisked away by security and escorted to the secret entrance within the hotel that is very secluded. NO marking, NO signage, NO key traits to let you know this place exists. As we walked passed the gold gates, I had to get re-verified and my parents then had to vouch for me at two different check points.
This place is things that you'd only see in movies like The Hangover. Over the top amenities, lush decor and furniture, and private gambling tables exclusive to those staying at The Mansion. These aren't penny slots or $25 tables. HELL NO, these folks including my dad, are here to play apparently. (I get anxiety watching my dad play btw so I just go to the bar and drink, a lot, and look for the Monopoly Slot Machines lol)
The Mansion is all situated within a dome and there is also a fine dining restaurant there. The gardens are beautiful and if I ever get married this is where it's happening. That's how gorgeous it is.
As for the rooms, OMFG. The villa assigned to you has everything you need for a lavish Vegas stay.
Aside from the multiple living and dining rooms, you also have an in-house barber/makeup room, private in-door balcony, private pool, massage room, full bar, walk-in closets, and your assigned butler. YUP. I'm used to my parents having an assigned host during family trips to Vegas but the butler was definitely the next level of extra.
The rooms had a bit of a Versace 90s feel and I was living for it. Think over-the-top curtains, marble for days, statues, and live flowers for days. Pretty certain this Villa was equivalent to the size of 30 standard hotel rooms- minimum.
As a guest of The Mansion, I have to say the staff was super friendly and very detailed oriented. They pay attention to every little thing and it was much appreciated. My mom had mentioned wanting to see the Michael Jackson- Cirque Du Soleil Show and they surprised us with tickets to the sold out show the day of. They literally can make seats magically appear for some of the most coveted shows in town.
The bathroom amenities were supplied by BVLGARI and were scented for the GODS.
There is a private drive-in entrance for The Mansion for guests so you can literally walk into your villa.
I have to say though the craziest part of this experience was my parents having an assigned limited edition, 1 of 25 in the world, Bentley Bentayga during their stay. Let's just say my ride to the airport was hilarious as my door was opened by the chauffer to let me out for the Southwest Terminals lol.
I'm definitely hopping on the coattails the next time my parents want to do a Vegas trip and state they're staying at The Mansion...
