the mgm grand was, for most of my life, the largest hotel in the world (it’s now second).  it used to have roller coasters and a wizard of oz theme that enchanted me as a child.  since then, those things have been removed in place of more rooms and more pools and probably more bars, from what it appears.

our room!  our bed had THE most comfortable bedding ever.

oddly enough, every hotel does have a wedding chapel.  this is where one of my co-workers is getting married in september.

outside at night.  vegas really is the city of lights.

at night, our hotel turned emerald green.  from the inside, this is what the glow looked like.
