MGM Grand completes $300 million room remodel

Las Vegas' MGM Grand Hotel & Casino has finished a $300 million renovation of its main tower, unveiling 3,969 redesigned rooms and suites. The remodel combines modern comfort with disco-era-inspired design and is now open for bookings.

The redesign, led by Gensler and MGM Resorts Design & Development, adds spa-style bathrooms, walk-in showers, illuminated closets, blackout drapery, wall-mounted smart TVs, and upgraded minibars with guest-use refrigerators. Rooms feature bold artwork, LED installations, and practical amenities like USB and USB-C charging stations.

The resort also added 111 new suites, bringing the total to 753. Ranging from 675 to 1,784 square feet, suites feature open layouts, upgraded bathrooms, and flexible spaces for work or relaxation.

Alongside the remodel, MGM Grand launched new experiences, including NETFLIX BITES, Palm Tree Beach Club by DJ Kygo’s crew, The FRIENDS Experience, and the FREQNCY residency by Jabbawockeez. Morimoto, the resort’s Japanese restaurant, will debut a refreshed design and menu later this month.

"MGM Grand has long stood out as one of the most iconic resorts on The Strip, and this remodel marks an ambitious step forward in the resort's evolution," said Mike Neubecker, President & COO of MGM Grand. "Inspired by our guests' feedback, we've designed rooms that deliver what both business and leisure travelers value most, providing a thoughtful balance of style, comfort, and functionality."

The announcement on Thursday came more than two weeks after MGM officials told investors and analysts during a late-October quarterly earnings call that the MGM Grand project was complete, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Bill Hornbuckle, president and CEO of MGM Resorts, called the newly renovated MGM Grand rooms “spectacular,” noting that the updates could attract more visitors and suggested this could allow the hotel to charge higher room rates.

MGM Grand, which opened in 1993 as the world’s largest hotel, has had several renovations. The Studio Tower (formerly the West Wing) was updated in 2022, and the main tower’s last major renovation in 2012 cost nearly $160 million.

MGM Resorts will begin renovating Aria hotel rooms in November 2026, with most work scheduled for summer 2027 to avoid peak convention periods. After Aria, The Cosmopolitan’s rooms will be updated.
