Review of Casino at the MGM Grand Reviewed September 24, 2011 hard to win on slots. They have a great selection. But the place is massive! Hard to find the same machine twice. Too many non english speaking employees when you need help. Hard to get drinks and when you buy at the bar, prices are phenomenal. 2 drinks-$26.00 plus tip. We stay at MGM Grand and by far the best on the strip - so many table and slots and bars and great sports bet - My wife and I love it here - thanks for continuing to make it better each year!!!!!!!!!!. Mgm grand slots review. High Limit Slots at MGM Grand Located right behind the high limit table games section, the high limit slots room is large and is broken down into multiple sections. It doesn't seem like it ever gets too much traffic, but among the many slots you'll also find some video poker. Casino at the MGM Grand: Slots - See 1,328 traveler reviews, 240 candid photos, and great deals for Las Vegas, NV, at Tripadvisor.
