This Las Vegas Hotel's $300 Million Renovation Will Upgrade All of Its 4,212 Rooms — and Add New Suites and Restaurants

Inspired by the flair of the disco era, MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is undertaking a massive year-long renovation that will touch all of the hotel’s 4,212 rooms and suites within its main tower. The $300 million remodel is expected to be fully completed in December 2025 with the first of the newly renovated rooms available for reservation on March 1.

Calling the project “a significant milestone in the property’s evolution,” MGM Grand President Mike Neubecker said the room enhancements will be playful, elegant, and meant to meet the needs of both leisure and business travelers with all the modern amenities of home and relaxing spa-like bathrooms. The “disco flair” will be found in the stainless finishes, lighting elements, like cascading chandeliers in the suites, and contemporary wall mirrors.

The MGM transformation comes at a time when resort companies are reinvesting in-room products. Circa Resort & Casino added 106 rooms and Paris Las Vegas spent $100 million and added balcony rooms. Last year also saw the closings of two iconic Sin City resorts: The Tropicana was demolished and The Mirage Hotel & Casino is being dismantled and is slated to be replaced with a guitar-shaped Hard Rock Resort.

Designed by architecture firm Gensler, MGM Grand guests can expect bathrooms with spacious walk-in showers and porcelain finishes, blackout drapes for those who want to sleep in after a long night out on the town, multiple charging stations, and wall-mounted Smart TVs.

King Rooms will feature walnut wood finishes and warm gray textured wall coverings and carpets, while rooms like the spacious City View Penthouse Suite and Skyline Terrace decked out in multiple shades of gray with stone finishes provide a calming, home-like feel.

The MGM Grand remodel will also add 111 new suites to its main tower — ranging in size from 675 square feet to 2,572 square feet. Renderings show the suites will sport brand-new bathrooms with double mirror vanities and larger showers. In the main area, dark ebony and walnut wood finishes with lighter shades to balance out the living space.

MGM Grand plans to add several new restaurants later in the year and transition its highly successful dayclub Wet Republic into the Palm Tree Beach Club. The partnership with the Tao Group will see the pool complex transformed into a tropical oasis with a capacity of 3,000 party-goers.
