Review from Victoria L.
San Jose, CA

Um. Can I live here? Permanently?
Ever wondered what two levels of pure excellence looks like? Stay here.
I came here for a work event and was lucky enough to stay here. Walked into the not-so separate entrance to check in, which didn't really make any sense to me, but the staff mentioned that some of the guests that were staying there complained that they had to go to the "regular" check-in lobby, so they built a separate. Either way you still have to walk across to get to the loft rooms.
Once you're up to the Skylofts, you immediately see the difference between MGM and Skyloft. I guess you really do pay for what you get. Even the hallways were fancier!!
Walked in with one of the Butlers who then poured us a freshly juiced cup of cantaloup juice, while the other room had watermelon juice! I think we maximized the use of our butler service within the first hour of being there. They bring everything in a tray.
BATHROOM: The bathroom is HUMONGOUS. The closet was big enough to store both my friend and my luggage, and pillows, there was a little table in front of the infinity tub.
There's an infinity tub, but if you're small, it's not quite all the hype. It takes awhile for the tub to get filled, but once it did, it looked relaxing. You have the option to turn on colored lights that coincide with the bubbles from the jet to make the full effect. I hopped in the tub in hopes of relaxation, turned on the music, but for most of the time, I was fighting to stay down in the tub, but kept on floating up instead. After 10 minutes, I gave up.
The showers in the rooms were different. The master room had a steam shower and a bidet. The shower in the room I was staying at had multiple heads, I was pretty excited at first, but realized, it wasn't so great. I like a rainstorm when I take a shower, now a drizzle. There's not much waterpower. A little disappointment.
There were his and hers sinks in both bathrooms, however, the counter space was smaller than then MGM Suites. Both the MGM Suites & The Skylofts offered slippers and robes, but the one at the MGM Suites were better. Softer and fluffier.
ROOM: The beds and the blankets were extremely soft, add the pillows on the pillow menu and youre good to go. I think I could have stayed in bed all day if I didnt have events planned for the trip. The cleaning service was great, every time we stepped out and came back, the room was spotless. They even re-organized our messy makeup counter!
GYM: Yes, I'm that kind of gal, I'll still fit a workout in between a trip. Not anything special to the gym, it just has one treadmill and one elliptical. you need one of the guest services staff to let you in, but the view is great.
Every night they bring you a small tray of goodies.The remote control is great once you figure it out, but someone in the living room or any other room, can turn the lights off in your room and mess with you.
Perks: You''re invited to an "invite only" breakfast area where not even the high rollers are invited, but the high HIGH HIGH rollers of the casino are invited (most expensive beef noodle soup and chinese donut i've ever had...)
Overall, if you can, high recommended to stay here!! -

The view from the skyloft was amazing. I stayed there right after it was completed, I was one of the tech designers from Bang and Olufsen. The service and the view are something to see remember you are 29 stories up over the Las Vegas strip. I can only imagine how it would look on New Years eve with all the fireworks going off.
The maybach was a great touch also. can't wait to stay there again....... -

WOW! Luxurious and VIP Accomodation at it's finest!
Not to mention how much more luxurious it will get once the MGM is done renovating! You can pretend for the weekend that you are a VIP, a celebrity, a somebody! Hahahah. I am lucky and thankful that i get the privilege of being able to stay at the Skyloft every time i come to Vegas not because I am rich or a big timer but because my bf's sister is a VIP. 2 Stories of extravagence i tell ya!
Some highlights of staying in the Skyloft.
-the welcome juice!!!!!!!!!
-You get your own entrance to the elevators. You need your room key in order to go up so if you have friends over, you have come get them unless they have the key.
-Personal chauffeur for any of your needs. Rode a Maybach to Aria just to eat lunch. Yes even though Aria is walking distance from MGM. haha. Recently they got a Rolls Royce Ghost. There are also the limos. Need a ride back to your room from XS? Give them a call and they are on their way pronto.
-Get picked up from the airport or get dropped off to the airport in their RR-Ghost. Ride in style.
-complimentary Eat, snack, and drink at the Mansion. Only those who know knows this place.
-Want to play the latest games or DVDs? They will go out and buy it so you can play it in your room.
-Foosball and pool table. 10 seater dining table as well as a long marble wet bar. Full kitchen with microwave, sink, and fridge.
-Order food from anywhere and they can deliver. Even McDonalds. lol
-Those complimentary chocolates are freakin delicious!!!! Fully stocked full size refrigerator. We always ask for extra Veuve Cliquot to drink and to take home. Sodas, juice, mixers, and VOSS water EVERYWHERE!
-Surround sound systems all over the entire skyloft, multiple TVs EVERYWHERE, lightings, you can have a party in the loft and forgo clubbing if that's your thing.
-Their bathroom is amazing. Shower looks pretty complicated with all these knobs and water spouts but pretty cool! I love their Bvlgari toiletries. Smells so nice.
-You need something, anything, they got it for you. Personal butler.
-outdoor Jacuzzi with an awesome deck overlooking Las Vegas Blvd = Priceless -

I was privy to have the opportunity to check out the Skylofts. My friend and her family were in town and stayed in one of these babies... and oh, may I say... F A N C Y ! ! !
DO:
-enjoy the views... it's extravagant! It's TWO floors!
-know that it's like a party in the lobby! Dim lighting & lounge-y beats...
-munch on the candied almonds & fancy chocolates. They look like plastic, but surprise... it's edible!
-be warned that the lighting remotes are a bit annoying. You'll see...
-take advantage of all the amenities! ...mos definitely worth it!
DON'T:
-hate that you have to shuffle through the MGM crowd to get to the lobby. There isn't a separate entrance to the Skylofts. :-(
-hate that there is no kitchen, microwave, or refrigerator (at least not in the 1-br.)
-forget that you can get limo service back to the airport!

A grade of service that would make the employees at the Park-Hyatt in Tokyo commit seppuku in shame. This experience is a hard left turn away from the typical Las Vegas experience, you will have no point of reference for a hotel of this grade unless you've been to the other ultra luxury spots around the world. The lofts are very large, in fact our single bed came close to the size of our own loft. Amenities are very modern, everything you want is there and everything but the liquor is free. I liked how they didn't charge for little stuff like water or wifi.
Interior design includes B&O sound systems, a modern dual chamber hot tub, steam room shower and plenty of space for everything. A full size 10 person dining table downstairs looks through floor-to-ceiling windows out onto the strip or at McCarran. Even the coffee machine is awesome, coming with an endless supply of excellent coffee including Jamaica Blue Mountain. Add to this the excellent restaurants downstairs, the limo service that picks you up in a Rolls Royce or a Maybach and a butler service that will literally go get anything you require makes for a perfect experience.
The spa and massage service isn't great for the money, so just be aware of that. Doesn't detract from the Skylofts though. -

Wow what a view! My friends and I were down here for a 21st birthday. Let's just say, their one-bedroom suite was wonderful! Our room featured a hot tub, full kitchen, and two televisions.
My only gripe had to be the roughly 1 mile (yes I measured) walk from the suite to the parking structure. Certainly a bummer when your friends have the vallet spot and you had to park in the structure and walk. -
Review from Dawn F.

We stay in Vegas about once a month.
One expects excellent service at a hotel of this caliber, but the Skylofts service is remarkable even when compared with like hotels.
Anything you want? Done. Your butler will pre-stock the fridge with Coke products, but ask if you want them switched to Pepsi. If there is anything missing from what you usually prefer, it will be added immediately.
If you want a movie that is not in the DVD library, without hesitation they will run out and purchase it and deliver it to your room.
I asked about ordering food from restaurants within the MGM. Within moments the butler delivered all menus from every restaurant. Anything can be ordered and will be delivered very quickly, usually within 30 minutes.
We ordered from Pearl=excellent chefs menu, Wolfgang Pucks=big fan of their tea, and normal in room dining=the banana split rocks!
I had an additional room at the MGM for my kids, the staff checked in for the other room and had the keys waiting for us.
I wanted tickets to Blueman. They bought them and had them delivered right away.
The bathtub is super cool invisible edge circulating fountain type thing. Nice. The shower is very nice with combo steam room/ multi-shower head deal going on. Nice.
Spa? Nice. Massage=mediocre, Facial=excellent, Mani/pedi=normal, Hairstyling with Eric= damned awesome, never ever had better.
Negatives? The only thing I had trouble with was getting the bedroom, which is in the loft part of the suite, down to a cool temperature for sleeping. I couldn't get it below 74, which is too warm for me. They did deliver fans and it helped. But despite my love of the hotel, it might prevent me from choosing it on our next visit to Vegas. -

Guess I'm one lucky gal, because I've stayed int he skylofts twice! The last visit was our wedding night. (aaawww!)
The skylofts will make you feel super important if you're not and well taken care of if you are.
The rooms are modern and techological to say the least.
My poor mother disrobed for a bath and couldn't figure out how to work the tub. She called the butler...he offered to come help....she screamed, "NO, Don't come in here!" Regardless, he was able to give her instructions over the phone. There's digital screen remote thingies for drapes, music, tv, and lights. It's more than a little complicated. You can dock your ipod into the wall and play music through the whole suite, if you can figure it out.
HANDS DOWN the best shower you will ever take. There are about 6 - 8 shower heads with 2 huge raining heads in the ceiling. Once again, you'll get blasted with hot and cold water from every direction until you figure out the way to work the whole system. But when you work it out and lather up in bvlgari and scrub down with your natural sea sponge and rinse off with the warm rain, you'll be in heaven.
The magic skyloft elves with leave little cookies, and treasures around your room, including beautiful orchids on your pristine fluffy white bed. We awoke to a beautiful platter of chocolate covered strawberries after our wedding.
The best part of the skylofts is the welcome juice. They bait you with this magical concoction right when you walk in the door. Gorgeous crystal stemware on a sterling platter handed to you with a white glove. Inside the vessel?? A bright opaque orange liquid dotted with vanilla bean speckles. I don't even drink juice but this stuff is awesome! SO what happens when you wake up in the morning you may ask?? Well, you have an inexplicable craving for the mysterious welcome juice. The butler will have it to you in minutes..at only $8 per glass plus 20% gratuity, it's a steal. I called and asked what it is made of, an secret blend of cantaloupe, orange and vanilla. I've tried ever since to recreate it but it's impossible.
I specifically remember sitting on the sill of the floor to ceiling 2 story windows on the 20 somethingth floor gazing at the bright lights and busy strip below, munching on smoked salted nuts from the minibar and thinking....I've arrived. -

This place was total Vegas heaven! From being picked up in the Maybach to drinking welcome juice with Belvedere. We were waited on like we were actually important. From walking off the plane to getting back on the plane we were waited on hand and foot by the nicest people ever.
I proposed to my girlfriend here and was the greatest day of our lifes. Could not have been any better unless of course we had won a bunch of money in the casinos. Staying anywhere else will be ruined forever and now I wish my house was as nice as the Sky Loft. -

Seriously? We had the pleasure of staying at the Skylofts a few months back and wow... I think I'm forever spoiled. With three giant rooms, three living rooms, two levels, three bathrooms, TVs galore, foosball, and a butler!
Really, what can I even say? It's mucho dinero to stay here, so unless you're a whale, business partner, or know someone who is... you'll probably never get to see these amazing facilities. -

I'll never forget my first visit here, it was years ago, as a corporate gift I received a three night stay here. It was top notch.
I travel a lot, and I've seen a lot of fine hotels around the world. This place ranks right up there with the best. It's not even the room so much as the service.
When visiting Vegas, I usually hire a driver for the week. The first and second time I stayed here, I called my personal concierge and requested a full time Maybach. The following visits, as I checked-in, they remembered my request and had the car ready to go, when I was picked up from the airport, they had the car stocked with my favorite liquor and they even remembered that I requested a particular color. (Black Maybachs constantly get flagged down by motoring tourists inquiring about directions, it gets annoying) -

I had the best time of the month at any Tweetup inside of the MGM sponsored event at the Skylofts. Entry happened in a secluded area downstairs, near where the taxi's are waiting to pick people up. Outside is the recognizable stretched Maybach limo that shuttles people from the hotel to Aria or where ever the guest would like to go. From there, you are directed to another secluded area to the left of the main hotel check in. Once inside, you'll find many individual tables with super knowledgeable staff that prepare your room and butlers for your arrival. They make sure to go over details like what time you would like food delivered to your room, what drinks you like and if you need any help setting up your clothes in the suite's closet.
The Tweetup was held in one of the corner suites on the 29th floor that faced the corner of Excalibur, Tropicana and the New York New York. It had several levels inside and outside on the terrace, complete with a hot tub.
Inside of the suite included a sunken living area with steps up to the kitchen and bar areas, an entry foyer linked to the kitchen and finally a media room with billiards. The entire suite included Bang & Olufsen video and audio technology.
Upstairs was complete with two bedrooms and a workout area in the master. The bathrooms upstairs inside of each bedroom were equipped with infinity edge bathtubs and steam showers, big enough for several people. Between the two bedrooms was a generously sized study that could accommodate the busiest of professionals.
If given the opportunity to visit the MGM Skylofts again, I would clear my schedule to make that happen. The butler service during the Tweetup was amazing, each person is equipped with secret service style headsets and can deployed at any given moment. The guest service they provided was fitting to that level of luxury. -

Stayed here for 4 nights with 5 of my girls!! yayyyy for finishing law school and double yayyy for being able to share it with my girls!! This place makes me want to hire a butler--well sort of.
Got picked up at the airport, went to the hotel and took a nap while waiting for my girls to fly in. We ordered room service because we didnt want to go down the strip to eat the first night.
The spa service comes right to your door---wish i can bring that back to LA.
The design is definitely inviting. It makes me want to buy a loft in LA and renovate it with the same design. As I always say go big( well semi big)) or go home. -

For my 200th review, I want to re-live my stay at the Skylofts at MGM. I came here with my good friend and her family friend had gotten us a room here for free! This place makes me not want to stay anywhere else in Vegas. This pad is seriously baller.
Our room came with our own personal concierge who made all dinner reservations for us as well as made sure we got into the clubs we wanted to visit. The room also came with our own gold limo who would take us wherever we pleased!
Now onto the loft itself--the amenities included:
-Two Bedrooms
-Game room with a theater and a fooz ball table
-Steam room
-Jacuzzi
-TVs in EVERY imaginable place (including in the mirror)
-Large beautiful walk in closets
Try this place if you can. It definitely beats cramming 7 people into one room! -

we stayed 1 night for my husband's 40th. in a 1 bedroom Wow! If only I could always stay here.... this would be the life sans kids...
minus 1 star b/c there were some glitches with the limo and other stuff that was supposed to happen but didn't with the room.
the bathtub! infiniti tub was the best. how often do you get to overflow a tub! though the jets were pathetic
amazingly enough this place was WAY kid friendly!! our butler gave our 4 year old a puzzle with stuffed animal and our 1 year old a bathtub book on arrival! they had the cutest full crib (not the wimpy hotel crib) but this was serious crib! with cute bumper! (though they didn't have a baby robe and ducky like the London NYC...) but MUCH better crib and the puzzle, etc was great!
welcome juice - OJ./cantaloupe and vanilla
when you arrive on the floor you are greeted by skyloft's own special scent? spa-scent? it instantly relaxes you!
and the Butler, we had Michael was soo helpful telling us about all the amenities e.g. FREE movies - yeah. i watched like 2. woo hoo!
and he also helped arranged a cake for my hubby after we came back from dinner. so thoughtful! made me look good!
and the technology! way cool. though a little confusing at first.
for those of you with sensitive skin, you may want to ask for humidifier. my daughter and I got dry from all the ac.
the steam shower - was HUGE. you could fit like 15 people in there!
If you can stay here, do it.
I learned that you can eat breakfast at the Mansion as one of the perks of staying here. otherwise, you can't get to see the Mansion... someone's gotta get me into the Mansion!

Yes Yes Yes....i know, this room is super nice,....but my friend's boyfriend paid $1600 per night on a Wednesday and Thursday. I seriously can't imagine spending that amount of money for a room though, you know what i mean?? You could definitely find an extremely nice room at another hotel for about $300 per night on a weekday, right? My girlfriend just met this guy...maybe he's trying to impress her but i surely didn't approve of her encouraging him in getting this room. These rooms are good if you like gadgets, TV's, and staying in your room all day. To tell you the truth, I'd rather spend my money on good food, entertainment, and good alcohol. Nonetheless, I did have a good time here. The only complaint I have is that there is too much walking involved at this hotel. To get anywhere in this hotel takes at least 10-15 minutes....

This is my favorite place to stay in Vegas, apart from the lake front "1500" suite at The Bellagio or Villa #1 at The Mirage. I have stayed at least 5 times at this point. The service is impeccable, the styling by Tony Chi will inspire you, and the rooms are flat out amazing! The good news is that the price isn't that outrageous for Las Vegas. You could certainly spend a lot more for less at other properties. I know I have.
To start, the hotel will pick you up and drop you off at the airport as a complimentary service. They use a fleet of Maybachs, so if you have never been in one, here is your chance. It is very luxurious, but the ride will be short since the Skylofts are on the top floor of the MGM Grand, which is right next door to the airport. If a Maybach isn't available, they send a limo, but I have never had that happen.
Once you arrive at the hotel, an agent will meet you at the car to escort you directly to your room for check-in. This is a nice touch as I loathe waiting in a hotel lobby for check-in with a ton of people. They walk you through the MGM Grand lobby into the VIP, where there is a private hidden bank of elevators that go directly to the top floor of the hotel without stopping. This is nice because the MGM Grand elevators (there are 6 in each bank) are always FILLED with people and stop at nearly every floor. When you need the elevator, you just walk past the crowds, through a set of double doors, and into a private elevator to the top. Stay at the MGM Grand one time and you will understand why this is so valuable for a pleasant overall experience.
When you get the the Skyloft lobby on the top floor, the design will immediately embrace you. This hotel looks NOTHING like the MGM Grand below. It is an entirely different property, and it shows. There isn't a theme so much as a lot of natural elements like earth, fire, water, etc. You feel different once you enter, and it holds throughout the entire experience. The designer created everything down to the uniforms worn by the staff. As you walk by staff members, they stop what they are doing, stand up, and greet you.
When you get to your room, a butler is waiting, complete with white gloves, a tray, and a complimentary cocktail or freshly squeezed glass of juice. The check-in is quick and requires a few signatures. Then, the butler will show you around your apt. and the amenities (if you are there for the first time). It takes a minute to figure everything out because there is a lot of stuff. I have always stayed in a 2-bedroom unit, but they also have 3-bedroom and 1-bedroom spaces. The butler will offer to press your clothes or provide any other services you may need.
The 2-bedroom is approximately 3,000 sqare feet on two levels. Downstairs, you have a dining area for 8, a living room next to the dining room, a pool table room (sometimes a foos ball table), a movie theater with surround sound and a powder bath, a second living room, a breakfast nook with coffee machine (the kind that makes an assortment of drinks using packets) and a sexy entry foyer with a stairway to the upstairs. The entire place is luxury and you will feel special just being there.
The upstairs has large art installation common space between the two bedrooms. One room has two queen beds and a huge, spa-style bathroom, and the master has one king bed with the even better spa-style bathroom.
The entire place is completely teched out. There are Lutron lighting controlers with buttons in the entry that say "day, night, mood, etc". One click and the entire apartment is set. There are also Crestron controllers in every room and Bang and Olufsen butterfly stereos in the bedrooms and movie theater. There are iPod docks in nearly every room as well, and the shades are motorized. The list goes on and on...
The master bathroom has a huge steam shower with about 9 heads including a rain shower head, a negative-edge soaking tub with led lights and jacuzzi jets, a powder room with bidet, televisions inside of the bathroom mirrors, a dressing area with full length mirrors and lovely storage cabinetry, a scale, a separate bathroom music controller, a large flat screen over the tub, and fantastic robes, towels, and spa products. The guest bathroom has everything I just listed minus the steam shower feature. It also has a table with 4 chairs in the dressing area.
The entire place is setup to party. The best part, you can go crazy in here with the music on full blast and nobody can hear you. Likewise, you can't hear anybody else. It is like a Vegas dream come true if you hate hearing the doors of your neighbors open and close during your entire stay.
I am running out of space, but there is a lot more to share. There is a service entrance to the apt. where the staff can enter your unit and deliver things like the best room service EVER without bothering you. I could write for an hour about the food options. 5 stars!!!!!Listed in: The Best of Las Vegas (Luxury)

Two years ago, as a college student checking in for our group's 2nd night (yes we were poor students who switched rooms to get more comps)
Host: "Sorry we have no more deluxe rooms"
Me: "WTF $#@ (in my head)"
Host: "We'll just give you a free upgrade"
Me: "Thanks (thinking: ~50 more sq ft")
Host: "Please follow me to the VIP room"
Concierge: "Hello, please follow me through these doors to the elevator"
-1-2-3...29th floor?
-blue lighted elevator hallway, front desk before the corridors
Me: "thinking: wtf is going on"
Concierge: Opens double door: "Welcome to the skyloft"
Me: "!@#$%^&*"
Friends: "where are you, tell us the room number"
Me: "I can't, I need to come get you guys through some other elevator"
Friends: "STFU, what's the the F@#$ing room number"
Me: "hahahahha"
- 2 stories
- floor to wall windows,
- pool table
- massive living room
- private tv room
- dining room with views
- 7-8 plasmas?
- 2 bed rooms
- HUGE rainfall shower rooms
- plasmas in the bathroom
- THE most comfortable beds on earth
The views were amazing, the "loft" was at least 2-3 times the size of my townhouse back at school, details are tough to remember that far back as we were in a state of constant %!$@#
So, I would say pretty good deal for the price of our original deluxe room.

This place is amazing. And I'm sure a family of 20+ can live here because friends of 20+ chipped in and stayed here for a night ;p
Friends of friends invited us here for a birthday hotel party that included strippers, drinks, and a butler. YES, I SAID, BUTLER! It was extravagant to say the least. Especially because it was Pacquiao/Cotto fight weekend and Cotto was in the sky lofts next to us. We were tempted to bother his sleep but, alas, he lost anyways AND we had strippers to deal with. -

Wow! I've seen some luxurious places in Las Vegas, but as far as I can tell, Skylofts at MGM Grand has them all beat!
Skylofts aren't just some rooms in Las Vegas. They aren't just some place you stay. No. Skylofts are an experience of luxury and high-life that complete your Las Vegas adventure.
Attending a preview/Twitter party hosted by MGM Grand, I had the fortunate opportunity of viewing one of these opulent lofts on the 29th floor of the MGM Grand. The decor is modern and clean, and the particular loft I was viewing had a two-level deck with a jacuzzi on the second level.
The loft itself was also two levels, with a kitchen/living area and a media room on the first level. The entire loft is equipped with Bang & Olufsen technology because luxury should be experienced by all of your senses.
Skylofts come in one, two and three bedrooms. Our particular loft for this exclusive preview was a two bedroom, with both rooms located on the second level. Each bedroom was complemented with an outstanding bathroom which featured infinity bathtubs and steam shower stalls built for two (or possibly more).
The master bedroom included a mini gym with enough equipment for a vigorous workout. A large study separated the two bedrooms for those types who actually work on vacation. But, I guess one would have to get some work done while on vacation in order to pay for such decadence. However, this is decadence definitely worth paying for.
If you can afford it, staying at the Skylofts is a must-do. It's the kind of place you dream of and never want to leave. -

Skyloft in MGM... apart from the regular rooms in MGM.... it is very modern and chic. We've stayed in the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom suites before. The rooms has plenty of space and the service is very attentive. The rooms are huge could fit 3-4 people at least in a 1 bedroom and more than 10 in 2 bedroom if you really wanted to.
Cons: you would want to stay in the room 24/7.. which leaves not enough time for gambling! -

It's like a whole other world when you stay at SkyLofts. From the private entry, to the personal attention you receive from each staff member, it's all surreal. You don't have to be a celebrity to be treated like one.
Being picked up by your own personal driver, and escorted to your Maybach 62 is only the beginning. Your butlers are ready to make your stay memorable from start to finish. Exclusive access to VIP seating at shows and sold out restaurants, the list goes on and on. Will be back again. -

The absolute pinnacle of Las Vegas living. My friend, a Vegas expert (13 trips in 2 years) had been salivating over this place since he fell in love with Vegas. For our annual Vegas trip, we decide to go grande or go casa this time around. With the bad economy, and our friend's AMEX Platinum card, we got a pretty decent deal on this place. This place is worth every $ we spent. I don't think I can function away from this place when I go to Vegas anymore. PIMP pad. I also suffered from butler withdrawals when I got back home.
I stayed at the 2-bedroom lofts. Here's a quick rundown of our room.
9 tv's in the loft, endless supply of Voss water and soft drinks, 2 infinity tubs (a tub within a tub, so that you can run the water non-stop), Bvgari bath products, bathrooms larger than your typical Vegas hotel room, a steam room, 3 living rooms, a fooseball table (or pool table), and multiple remotes that control music, climate, drapes, tvs.
You also get special access to an express elevator that only stops, at the Skylofts floor, and special entrance to the MGM Grand, and Butler service is out of this world.
You can also order from any of the restaurants in the MGM Grand, and have free gym access by the pool.
ETA: I can't believe I forgot to talk about the Maybach. $450k ride, more free voss water, and chairs that recline all the way back...and just wreaks of leather.
Will need to try to look at staying this place again.
PERFECTION. -

If you can afford this place.... try this place once in your life....
It comes with the following:
VIP service everywhere you go within the MGM properties
You own personal butler
Private driver takes you around anywhere in your own May-Back
It's nutts but insane pricey... about $1800 and up per night =) -

Like the other reviewer, Leon, I too got to partake in this fantabulous suite at the MGM because of some high rollin' friends. The infinity whirlpool with color wheel lights and flat screen TV was too much.
I just wanna know why there's such a big closet in the bedroom? My god, if I could move in and fill the closet I would!
We had a the "magic berry dish" that would magically refill itself with fresh berries each time we looked. Actually... it was a butler that would come into the room each time we left to refill it.... but it was like magic!
I loved the remote control window coverings. I loved the tile, the sculptures, the Bulvgari soap in the bathroom. I loved the iPod dock in the living room. I loved the espresso machine.
My friend thought it was a little strange that the living room furniture was the same as the Skyloft reception/ lobby area. But, I wasn't bothered by it. :)
When you first arrive at the reception on the 23rd floor(?), there's a really great centerpiece made of cross sections of twigs. It's a fun blend or modern furnishings and lighting with organic subjects. -

By far the best rooms in Las Vegas.
Best features:
2 stories, floor to ceiling windows, topnotch butler service, top of the line coffee machine, waterfall spa, and remote control
Price Comparable with:
Wynn parlor suite (but don't waste your money on that)
Gets a tad hot in the summer due to the 2 story high glass window, turned the AC to max didn't help much. Other than that, no complains.
Regrets:
Not getting a ride in their Maybach they offered as their airport shuttle -

I was attending a business conference and we had a cocktail party in one of the largest skylofts, the two bedroom with the private patio/balcony with your own private jacuzzi. All I can say is Wow, they are beautiful. The chef's employed for the skylofts are amazing, the food was gorgeous, flavorful, different and really just first class. The wines they poured were high end. More importantly getting to tour this unit was a great experience. The views are exquisite, top-notch and decorated very modern. If you need to stay in Las Vegas for a bit of time, this would be the spot to stay. Two bedrooms located upstairs both offered amazing walk-in closets a gym with tv's built into the mirrors in front of the workout equipment.
Downstairs was a living room, dining room and large theater type room offering a big screen, stereo and pool table. There is also a small kitchen without a stove, but frig, and microwave.
If you can handle the $5000 to $8000 dollar price tag, go for it, you won't be disappointed. -

Without a doubt the most amazing experience you can ever achieve in Las Vegas. I had stumbled across the Skylofts website when I was checking room rates at the MGM Grand, and decided to look into it. Booked a one-bedroom loft through American Express for this past Monday, and was quoted a rate of $470 (roughly 10% less than the price on the website). Within a day, the pre-arrival coordinator had contacted me and introduced me to the property, as well as ask if there were any arrangements that needed to be made. I gave her my flight details, and my trip was set.
A driver was waiting for me at McCarran Airport with a sign in my name, and he escorted me directly to his Maybach waiting outside. The drive to the hotel was so luxurious, and having never been inside a $500,000 car before, I was having fun checking out all the buttons and features. We arrived the MGM Grand's valet area, where a concierge was waiting for me, and walked me through the VIP area directly to the elevators. She took me to the top floor of the property, introducing me to various employees along the way, and brought me to my loft, where my butler was waiting outside.
Once we entered, my jaw hit the ground. I had been upgraded to a 2-bedroom loft, and after doing the quick check-in procedure, my butler gave me a tour. He showed me how to work the various remotes that automate the room, the mind blowing coffee/espresso maker, and the amazing steam shower. I was informed that I could give my concierge a call and a bath would be ready for me upon my arrival back to the suite. Or I could call and have the "Dream Butler" bring up a selection of pillows to find ones that would be the ideal fit for my sleep.
I spent my time enjoying the in-room pool table, free movies, and free wireless internet. I ordered room service for lunch, and the food arrived promptly. A different butler entered and set the table for me, at which point another waiter brought in my food, and came back about 30 minutes later to see if I needed anything cleared. Upon returning to the room, I saw that a lovely dessert had been left for me, and fresh fruit had been left on the table (quite delicious, too).
Booking through American Express gave me a free continental breakfast the next morning (it was quite delicious, as well), and a $100 spa credit, which I used for a facial. I went to go ask the concierge (there are at least 2 concierges on duty, on the floor, at all times) where the spa was, and she insisted on walking me down to the spa herself, as well as checking me in.
The Skylofts are not only an amazing stay for the beautiful room (I counted 7 plasma televisions in my 2-bedroom suite, and another 2 televisions embedded in the bathroom mirrors), but the service one receives makes it worth every penny. Each and every request was handled quickly and appropriately, and while I opted to dine in the hotel and called it an early night, I have no doubt that the concierge could have gotten me a dinner reservation anywhere, or show tickets or club access had I decided to go that route.
I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice break from the typical Vegas scene. While I'm sure these suites can get pricey on peak travel days, they really are worth every penny, and if you can find a bargain, I highly recommend it. Everyone at the Skylofts was so kind and helpful, though not in a pretentious way. Employees were genuinely interested in communicating, and I had some fun joking around with my butler and ended up knowing some friends in common with the waiter who brought me my breakfast. Without a doubt, the Skylofts, for both the amenities and service, is the best experience to be had in Vegas. -

We stayed here for one night mid week since the prices were somewhat lower, and we figured it would be fun to splurge as we'd just gotten married and were postponing our honeymoon for a while, opting instead for a long weekend in Vegas.
Holy Luxury! This place was completely astounding, from being picked up in a Maybach, the lobby, to the luxurious suites. Firstoff, this amazing sandalwood/cedar scent was piped into the lobby which was just calming and cooling after being out in the hot sun. When we got to our suite, we were met with a plate of chocolate covered strawberries that were juicy and succulent, and this delicious welcome drink that was some sort of vanilla bean, orange juice, cantaloupe juice concoction that was fresh and cold and amazing. I've tried to replicate this baby at home to no avail.
Our loft was two floors, a steam/shower room, a bathroom with 2 televisions, an infinity pool, Bulvgari bath accouterments, a huge soft bed, a pillow menu, floor to ceiling windows, original art, a large screen tv, man I could go on forever before even mentioning that we had a private butler. Pretty much anything we wanted, he would find.
We were presented with menus from all of the restaurants in the MGM all of which would provide us room service and was then timed so that our meals would arrive at the same time even though we ordered from two different restaurants.
We also had a bath menu, where we could select various oils and salts to be placed in the bath, more chocolates, more juice.
Man, the entire experience was incredibly decadent and amazing. I would absolutely go back because it was, bar none, the best treatment I have ever received in a large hotel (I'm generally more of a b&b girl) and everything was all about genuine quality, quite the difference from the tacky sheen that covered the majority of Vegas (which is not to say I didn't love the tackiness as well. I mean, c'mon, you're in Vegas what the hell do you expect? Shakespeare on the Park?) -

Ok the Sky Loft is the only way to indulge yourself in Las Vegas. Combination great customer service and luxury. Don't know where to begin
Stayed here about 5-6 times. It will cost u a pretty penny. Starts out at $1050 on a weekday. Come with a group of about 6-10 n its a great price
. Plasma tv everywhere. Pool table. 4 living rooms two spa tubes. Shower fits 5. Rain shower head. Makes u feel like ur in the rain
Best coffee machine ever. All the movies u want. Even the ones not on DVD yet
Beautiful beautiful Beautiful........... Only thing my last visit. While being dropped off at the airport by the maybach we curb side checked our bags. Bags never made it home.
Either the baggage guy stole them or someone on our flight. It was the last flight. We got to the baggage claim right away and saw the first bags coming out. The may bach brought attention but it should
Sucks
*TIP* no curb side check in. Wait til ur bag is drop into luggage wheel before leaving. Take all valuable item on carry on -

Stayed here for four nights. That's a long time to be in Vegas but not when you're at Skylofts.
Loved the Maybach airport service, Bvlgari au the blanc (white tea) scented rooms and lobby, remote-controlled everything, attentive service and incredible amenities.
Didn't love that it's at the top of the MGM Grand, which doesn't have much going for it other than Joel Robuchon and Cirque du Soleil's Ka. Also, while the in-room breakfast service is fine, the food on the non-breakfast menu is terrible. Order from Nob Hill or Shibuya (the butler sets up a beautiful presentation in the dining room) or dine out. The concierge can get you reservations anywhere.
Make sure you request a view of the Strip, as I've heard that some of the suites overlook the airport and Hooters.
Definitely worth trying at least once if you can get over the MGM address. -

One of the most luxurious experiences I've had the pleasure to enjoy from start to finish. No need to leave your suite when you come to Vegas.

Where do I start? A high-rolling friend got comped and I was lucky enough to stay at the 2 bedroom loft Memorial Day weekend. I'll rattle off some of the amazing amenities that come to mind.
*One pool table
*Two floors
*Three plasma TVs (per bedroom), one inside the bathroom mirror.
*Huge shower with water coming from ceiling and also jetting horizontally out of the wall. Bathtub that allows for water to overflow.
*Slippers right next to the most comfy bed you could imagine.
*Enough closet space for Imelda Marcos.
*Unlimited movies (recent releases & adult) on demand.
*Floor to ceiling windows, with a spectacular 29th story view of the strip.
*Remote control everything, including individual drapes and climate.
*I-pod accessories
*Three sitting areas on ground floor including dining room and media room.
*Bar stocked with Grey Goose, Patron, Godiva Liquor, and much, much more, including fancy shmancy still water when you're in recovery mode. Finish a bottle of anything and you get a new one.
*A tray of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, also replenished by the butlers. Gourmet nuts and candies.
*Coffee bar featuring Jamaica Blue Mountain beans.
*Employees stand up and greet you whenever you walk through the lobby area (just roll with it).
All of this and more comes with the loft. As you could imagine, it was sometimes difficult to leave. If you want to splurge in Vegas, this is definitely the way to go. Skylofts will leave a lasting impression. -

This was hands down the best Penthouse I have ever stayed in. I stayed in the 2 Bedroom suit. Came with a Limo or Maybach if available and a 24 hour butler service that will find or get whatever you want. Expensive! Well worth it!
