Review from Lisa V.
Las Vegas, NV

Where to begin...
First faces I saw were Cleo the Valet/ Bellhop, along with the other valets that also had happy shiny smiling faces.
At the front desk I encountered Tracy. Tracy was so accommodating, helpful, friendly and sweet.
Her supervisor, Laura Barrett, was simply fantastic as well. I went all the way to my suite with a huge smile as part of the after effects of dealing with such great customer service.
I ordered room service and the presentation was lovely, the food was so tasty and the waiter was a real delight.
The bed is like sleeping on a cloud. The pillows and linens perfect.
I usually do a sock test...that means I walk around the perimeter of the room and then look at the bottom of my socks after about an hour. Guess what? No surprise here, my socks remained white which means they keep their carpet pristine.
I took a Jacuzzi bath and watched ' Ice Age' from the tv monitor which was within view of the tub.
Nicole at the front desk is so cheery and helpful and Myra the room service order taker had what seemed such sweet Southern hospitality.
I love this place, really wonderful and peaceful and I have a view to die for.
This place EXCEEDS the Cosmopolitan.
In all honesty, I could have been sleeping in a tent and would have been just as happy had I received the same customer service as I have from every single person I encountered during my stay- they are THAT wonderful :) -

You want a swank hotel? The beds are extra comfy. The bathrooms are EXTRA large and nice! Generous sized jacuzzi deep soaking tub, clear glass shower which is separate. HUGE his and hers sinks so you can do your makeup and someone else can get ready. Closet space was huge. The whole place was amazing. The kitchen was set up with dishwasher. full stove, oven, microwave, fridge and freezer. If you want a party room or a romantic night out OR if you have kids (this hotel is strictly non smoking), try staying here.
Its connected to the regular MGM but the actual Signature is hidden behind it with its own entrance gates and door service.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Minus one star because it took forever to get extra towels in the room when we called for it... we were a group of like 12 women and we NEEDED those towels. At least when the guy finally came up he had extra toiletries too! -

We just loved it here. Got a balcony with views of the strip, got kitchenette, got big bathroom with jetted tub, got nice linens, even the front desk was good. I liked the non-smoking, the non-gaming, gated property vibe. No riff raff.
My only complaint was the ridiculous wait for an elevator at checkout on a Sunday morning. -

I found it very advantageous that we were able to check in so early, although I'm sure it was only because of who my beau knew. We were also upgraded to a penthouse suite, which was amazing. I wish we could have utilized the kitchen but maybe next time. Very nice SubZero fridge. Nice big comfortable sturdy bed with very soft sheets. The master bathroom was large, the jacuzzi tub very easily fits 2 people. Beautiful view of LAS & the MGM from the balcony. Also, the lady answering phones for in-room dining was so sweet and helpful with her Southern accent.

I had some friends in town last week who were staying at The Signature. I had the chance to check out the hotel and rooms and have to say that it is a really nice place to stay.
It is valet parking only, but it is complimentary. You can walk to The Signature through MGM.
All the employees are super friendly and helpful.
The room is large with a king bed, a couch and chair, a table with chairs, and a small kitchenette. Not exactly sure who is going to be using the stove while they are on vacation in Vegas, but the mini-fridge and microwave can come in handy. The bathroom is very large with a huge tub, separate shower, a two sinks.
The appeal of this place is that it is quiet and away from the crowds and smoke of The Strip. The downside is that it is a bit of a walk to the casinos. If you want to party it up all night long, you may want to consider somewhere else. -

We stayed in a suite which included:
-King Bed
-Kitchenette
-Safe in closet
-Balcony
-Pull out sofa
-Shower, Jacuzzi Tub & seperate bathroom
The experience here was awesome. Room service was always helpful and efficient.
Checking in was my big complaint, there were only 2 staff members and it took them almost 30 mins, (we were the only group waiting in line) but they did offer us water so that was nice. There is a cafe downstairs in tower 2 which is convenient if you need a quick bite to eat. The pools are connected through a walkway, and we were able to find a spot on Sunday before we left. They also will hold your luggage for you assuming you want to hang out in Vegas for a little bit longer. When we needed a taxi, they called for us and were there in a flash! I suggest this hotel. It's modern, without being too crazy. It's pretty close to the strip so if you want to walk 0.5 miles you are right there, or you can cut through Planet Hollywood which you can see from your hotel.
Note: If you get room service they won't charge it to your room, so either use cash or credit card. -
Review from Alice T.

If you love the rowdiness of the Strip and plan on going there often, do NOT stay here. The Signature is great for people who love a calm and quiet atmosphere, or for families that can really make use of the kitchen (fully equipped with blender, stove, toaster, etc). But for our group that spent a lot of time on the Strip, this was hugely inconvenient. I read the reviews and knew it was going to be further, but I thought since when did a little walking hurt? No. Don't be naive like I was- the walk is LONG. It's about 15 minutes from tower 3 through MGM Grand's giant casino to the exit on the road.
Everything else about the hotel was okay. The bed was very comfortable, but the toiletries and towels were budget. Sadly, we didn't get a chance to use the giant tub. -

If you don't plan on exploring the strip too much, I'd definitely recommend staying here for a short and quiet getaway.
The staff (concierge, housekeeping, valet) were very friendly and professional. We arrived a couple hours early, but we were allowed to check into our room. We also requested a later check out, which was granted as well. They were very accommodating and efficient, and didn't try to market additional amenities.
We stayed on the 22nd floor on Tower 3 with strip view. If you stay in this tower, the front desk and Tower 3 outside entrance close fairly early, but it's not really a big deal; you still have access to the Tower 2 front desk/entrance.
I liked everything about the room--roomy interior and exterior, comfortable bed, small kitchenette (with cooking/eating utensils), balcony, jacuzzi tub. It's very quiet; you barely hear your neighbors, and you don't wake up to secondhand smoke every morning.
Although the Signature is connected to the MGM, it's about a 10-15 minute walk (slow walking) before you get out to the strip or the monorail station. Doesn't sound like a huge deal, but it can get tiring especially with the dry air and heat.
Also, stock up on supplies like water and snacks asap. The deli and Starbucks close early and there aren't any 24-hour convenience stores in the Signature.
I would love to come back! :) -

I wouldn't stay at a hotel that is currently involved in a major lawsuit. Management employees are dumbshits and they don't respond well to complaints. I'd also like to add that rooms are not properly built, so beware...
I foresee MGM losing this battle..... -

The room accommodations and the value at signature is 4-5 stars, however, I lowered it 3 stars because the parking situation sucks. Parking at the Signature is valet only, which is fine, but they seemingly didn't have the resources/staff to support it.
To get into the signature you always need to pass security. This normally is okay, but at night there are tons of limos and taxi's picking people up and dropping people off. One night we waited 15-20 minutes just to get through security and drop off our car. Then on our way out, the staff almost made us miss our flight because it took them nearly 20 minutes to get our car. Personally, I wouldn't stay at the Signature again if I needed a car.
Now if I didn't need a car, I'd happily stay here again. We stayed on the 38th floor of Tower 2 and absolutely loved it. The room was very sizable and upscale. Staff was friendly and very informative.
Personally, I don't understand the comments about this hotel being too far from the strip. The signature isn't directly on the strip, but if you need to get to their quickly, don't walk through MGM. Just go outside, go down Harmon and it takes half the time as it would going through the hotels. -

Stayed here recently for a work meeting that was in Vegas.
It is always a lot of trips back and forth to my car so I was looking for a place that isn't a 5 mile walk from the room to the car (like at Aria!).
Glad I tried The Signature!
Even tho it is at the MGM, it has it's own gated entrance. When you check in with the guard at the gate he will direct you to which tower your room is in.
Each tower has it's own complimentary valet parking. There is no self-park.
I'm not normally a valet parking type of guy. But at this place it works nicely.
They are really quick to get your car for you.
I had the studio suite at a killer rate of $95 a night!?
The room was large with a small kitchenette area and a huge bathroom.
I wish I would have upgraded to the 1 bedroom suite with the balcony. I will definitely do that next time.
It is a short walk thru an inside corridor to the MGM.
It connects right near the food court and restaurant area of the MGM which is nice if you want to walk over to get something to eat or a fro'yo.
There is also a Starbucks and cafe restaurant at the Signature.
There is no minibar or even bottled water in the room which is a bummer, but at least there is a fridge so you can bring some water up to the room.
The $20-$25 resort fee is kinda steep too.. you have to add that into the price of the room!
All in all... I liked this place and would go back again, especially for business or when you are in the mood for a more mellow hotel in Vegas.
I liked it much better than the Four Seasons!! -

When I'm in Vegas, I'm ALLLL VIP. Which means I talk to the best of the best to get the best of the best. That saying I always contact the General Manager, Front Desk Manager and Karla (Concierge Associate) before my Vegas trips to arrange detailed room placements, restaurant reservations & any special arrangements.
And no honey I don't get A ROOM. I get THE 1500 sqft room on the 32nd floor facing the Strip in Tower 3. Exactly how I said it...is how front desk sets the room up !!
What I love about this hotel is the exclusiveness of it. From entering the hotel grounds via the guarded gate to the stupendous valet guys to the competent and helpful front desk & Concierge staff. Everyone greets me by my name when I see them !! There's little mistakes & errors to be made.
The decor of all three towers are beautiful & gorgeous !! Tower 3 in my opinion is the best looking one !! It's so fancy & elegant & FIERCEEE !! On top of that, it's actually the nearest one to the Strip. LITERALLY, the Strip is a block & a half down from Tower 3. All y'all are trippin when you say it's the farthest tower from the Strip & y'all are on crack complaining the far walk to the Strip. It's only a good 10 minute walk if you do choose to walk through all 3 towers to the Strip.
The rooms are so nice & visually pleasing to the eye !! Everything's cohesive & beautiful to look at !! I love those jacuzzis in the room !! The good thing bout the 2-bedroom soite is that there are 3 FULL bathrooms & 2 jacuzzis !! Getting ready is fast & efficient especially for the girls !! The balcony is probably one of the best things this hotel has to offer. Not a lot of hotels come standard with a balcony. Not even Encore or Palazzo !!
The kitchens are just amazeballs !! Everything you need you got it !! Forks, spoons, blenders, sugar packets, tea & coffee, refrigerators, microwaves, toaster, oven etc. The dining table in the one-bedroom was a bit small & awkwardly placed. Didn't care for it. The kitchen is a huge money saver for those who don't want to eat out all the time. You can cook breakfast or lunch before heading out for the long fun day !!
THE BEDS ARE HELLA COMFY !! Even the pull-out sofabed !! Trust me, I'm a Platinum Member of Marriott's & not even their beds & sofabeds are as comfortable as The Signature !! The couch I didn't care for. Was too drunk & hungover 80% of the time to even get myself on a couch.
I always book my 1500 sqft room through the hotel itself...not through those 3rd party bullshit companies. Plus, the Signature actually offer some of the best deals on the Internet via it's own site !! With that stated, housekeeping comes easy !! No hassle, no bullshit !!
Housekeeping always does a fantastic job of cleaning up the rooms after a night of drunken debauchery & shenanigans. We always tip them $10 per room !! You can never tip anyone enough to clean after your drunk ass !!
If you need ANYTHING, ask Concierge !! They'll promptly send a butler up to your room to deliver the goods in this small cute shopping bag !! Amazing !!
Bell boys are really effective & fast though I did have a little problem with them on my previous trip !! They never came !!!! Even housekeeping & Concierge had to help call but no one ever came up !! Talked to Jill (General Manager) about it and she comped us our resort fees !!
Each tower had its own pool but I've never really took a dip in them. My boardshorts are too scandalous for a family pool =P. You can always catch me at Encore or Marquee Beach clubs during pool season !!
I can't say enough good things about this 5 star hotel !! Service is top-notch !! Rooms are gorgeous !! Amenities are plentiful !! You can still have a getaway on your getaway here at the Signature !! -

I got a really good deal for a two night weekday stay from LivingSocial - so, so glad I booked this hotel!! It was amazing - valet parking, a beautiful lobby, spacious room (we had a junior suite), the entire hotel is non-smoking, our room was incredible. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us when we walked in, the bathroom was HUGE and had a jacuzzi tub, we had a mini kitchenette which was perfect for keeping our leftovers, all of the lights in the room and bathroom had dimmers which is nice to not be blinded if you get up in the middle of the night. Check out was so easy, and we never had to wait longer than five minutes for valet to get the car for us. Highly recommended, I would absolutely stay here again and again!!

This place was a little too "grown up" to me. All-suite hotel (read: no casino, no smoking, no self-parking lot). I'm not the type of girl who likes having other people park her car, take up her bags, etc. But our group wanted to get a reasonably priced suite with a balcony. So, The Signature it was.
Got the one bedroom balcony suite.
* Felt way roomier than Aria's one bedroom suite, for sure.
* Stocked kitchen (fridge, stove/oven, dishwasher, dishes, glasses, and cooking/ eating utensils.
* Two showers! Master bathroom has 3 sinks and 2 counters.
* Pull out sofa bed!
* Balcony did not have a great view and looks sad if you've ever been on balcony at the Cosmo. *shakes fist at Cosmo*
I definitely did not miss the hi-tech remote controls for the curtains and light fixtures at Aria (I'm in Vegas and my brain is not at the highest of functioning), but felt awkward not being at the hotel (ahem, "resort", if you want to be fancy) with my kids or for a conference. Definitely not a party hotel. It's a place to getaway from the Strip. If you're into that. Even though you were fancy and clean, you were a bit too stuffy for me, Signature...I'll probably be seeing you when I reach my 30s.
Sidenote: Delights Cafe in Tower 2 is the closest place for food...and thank god it's "cheap" for Vegas. You'll have to walk through the MGM Grand to get to a food court. -

We booked mum and dad a b'day trip to Vegas and stayed at this hotel last week. The hotel service has changed since we last visited but still good, however the accompanied shuttle service was HORRIBLE.
Hotel
Pro
The service is still good. They've put in a check in counter at the airport which was not there when we visited Vegas a couple of years ago.
Con
The complimentary water that used to be provided by the hotel was no longer available. It's really hot in Vegas at summer, it would be nice if they still provide such service.
Shuttle Service
This is a TERRIBLE choice. We will NEVER book with their accompanied shuttle service ever again. They are cooperating their shuttle service with Showtime. If you are to stay at Signature, DON'T go with their shuttle service.
We booked a round trip for my parents. On the way to the hotel was fine, but the shuttle never turn up to pick them up. They've called numerous times to the office, and waited for an hour and half. They ended up taking the taxi to the airport with no refund from the shuttle company. -

Sooooo Late with this review(again, I'm always late lol)
I stayed at the Signature last year for my 25th birthday. Me and my boys originally booked the MGM, but were moved to Signature for an upgrade. Wow, wow,wow!
Check in was quick, staff was extra friendly..and the rooms.. here we go
We got two rooms one JR and one bed room. They were next to each other so that was a plus. Of course since it was my birthday, I got the big room! In total we had 3 bathrooms, which was an ultimate plus seeing as my friends are a bunch a male divas lol. Kitchen was great. We bought liquor and thanks to the blender, we were able to make our own beverages. The balcony was great as it over looked Wet Republic(see my other review). The room was very spacious. I help my own pre game party there with 8 other people including my friends. We did have security come up once, music was too loud, but not a biggie.
I booked for MDW this year, I can't wait! -

Nice hotel, lovely suite with a bathtub infront of the window with an amazing view.
A bit too far from the strip for my liking. No casino which is ideal if you want a classier venue.
Have your own driving entrance which is nice.
Decor was nice but a bit dated in the rooms itself. I d say it was suitable for a more mature person.
Probably wouldnt stay here again as we can get better suites in a better location for the same amount of money spent. -

Only stay here if you have been to Vegas a zillion times.
Don't stay here if you love the bustle of a smokey casino an elevator ride away.
Only stay here if you are a nonsmoker, as all 3 towers are smoke free including the bar.
Don't stay here if you plan on loudly partying in your room.
Only stay here if you love having 2 full bathrooms, a full kitchen with a full size fridge complete with ice maker. Woohoo for an in room ice maker.
Don't stay here if you hate using valets. It is the only option. But they are the nicest and most accommodating ever.
I had family in for a convention and had never heard of The Signature before, but will definitely keep them in mind for future visits. Largest balconies I have ever seen in Vegas was a great plus too.
But man oh man is it a looong walk to the MGM. But later in the evening after many drinks I thought I was seeing a mirage at the halfway point. Nope not a mirage, a frikken life saving porta-service bar for that needed nightcap. Whoever thought of that gets my MVP award of the weekend. Yep, over Eli even. -

If you are like me and prefer your Vegas with minimal smoke, then Signature is the place for you.
The staff is beyond friendly and the accommodations are stellar. Clean and minimalist decor in the lobby, the rooms are spacious, clean and modern. My room was Tower 3 and was a deluxe suite- studio. The bathroom featured an enormous jacuzzi tub. There was a kitchenette and I kept wishing my home was as nicely decorated.
There is something to be said for not inhaling second hand smoke 24/7. Beware: the Delish deli is pricey! Plain bagel and small bottle of Perrier, $9. Viva Las Vegas! -

Came here on my birthday weekend!!! Who else was one of the lucky ones to have celebrated their 21st in Vegas?! ;) Oh, and where you stay in Vegas matters! If you're going to be cheap when it comes to booking a hotel in Vegas, then you're better off partying in San Gabriel. I don't know why I said that, probably because most of my yelp friends are from the SGV area?
We booked the deluxe one- bedroom suite and got the third floor, which could have been better, but service and the room itself was outstandingly exceptional! Our suite had two baths (a full and a 1/2). FYI, a full bathroom includes everything plus a bathtub :) and a half bath is one that has the shower but not the bath tub. It also had a kitchen with its own sink and modern stove :) Of course, there was the spacious living room which leads to the balcony with the extensive city view, beautiful at night. Our bedroom was very comfortable and convenient; it even had a safe box to store the valuables. The bed was huge with a night stand on the right and the left side. Anyways, my point is, this suite and the service did not do us wrong!
Expect a LONG LONG LONG walk though. It takes 15 minutes just to walk from the lobby to MGM Grand. There's valet parking, but it's not convenient and we didn't enjoy waiting every single time we needed the car. -
Review from Darcy K.

I stayed here with my bf for my first Vegas trip!
Everything about the room we had was everything I hoped :D Seriously the best hotel I have stayed at, ever. It is secluded from the strip, but is still connected to the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. We arrived earlier than our check-in time, but the staff offered to hold our bags while we went to do more shopping. Everyone was really nice and accommodating! The rooms were cleaned and tidied daily, restocked bottled water, fresh towels, and robes.
The suite was spacious and decorated. The bathroom was very impressive too. My favorite part was the jacuzzi tub and tv on the vanity (: Fun relaxing times!
The bed was so comfortable and luxurious. My boyfriend enjoyed the tv THAT CAME OUT OF THE DESK. We enjoyed the comfy furniture and exclusiveness of this hotel! I almost didnt want to leave the room! There was even room service, which we did order a couple of times. The food was overpriced of course, and it took long of course, but we were enjoying our spoiled rotten asses too much to really care. The food tasted good but we probably wont order it again, just to eat at other restaurants we havent tried (:
On the day of check-out, I took off my diamond ring and forgot it!!!!! in the bathroom. I called the front desk and of course no one reported anything immediately. I called back later in the day and security said no one had turned anything in. I was really sad to learn that not all the Signature employees were not the classy, honest citizen image I had created in my delusional mind.
Obviously it was my fault for forgetting to put the ring back on after showering, but that was not cool. I was being transferred to housekeeping, which by the way, NO ONE EVER ANSWERS. No one offered to take down my name and number in case anything was found either. It really seemed like no one wanted to help me, so it was hard to tell who was lying.
This is a warning to all: Make sure you have everything before checking out because you may never see it again. Someone else might take it home or sell it at a pawn shop! -

What do you want out of your Vegas experience? That's what it comes down to when booking at The Signature. Do you want noisy, party hardy, loud, smoking neighbors and atmosphere? Go somewhere else. It's off the strip, so it's quiet, calm and everything the strip is not.
The rooms are very clean and quite large...stocked kitchenette, separate sitting area, giant bathroom. We booked through Luxury Suites International (LSI) so I knew we'd be on a low floor with no view and not all the resort amenties but they tell you that...and it's $79! If I wanted all the amenties, I'd pay the extra $100 and book through The Signature. You have to walk about 5-7 minutes to get to the strip but for me, no problem. I liked that trade for the quiet when I wanted to sleep. Never even heard a neighbor. The restaurant had a good, if pricey breakfast/lunch menu and we weren't disappointed by the food or service there. The front desk, concierge and valets were helpful, polite and speedy.
There are a lot of complaints about the walk to the strip and the location at the end of the strip. All I have to say about that is do some research, people. Look at a map, read the website. Those points are obvious.
If you want a clean, large, nicely appointed room that's inexpensive and you don't mind a short walk...try The Signature. If you want to be right on the strip or in the middle of it or if you'd like your entire trip to be a party...go somewhere else.Listed in: Favorite Vegas Spots

3.5 stars. The Signature is about a 10 minute walk away from MGM, and situated not exactly on the strip, but close to it. I don't really have any complaints about it. The place was clean, amenities were great (gym has fruit and water bottles), room service was great. The hotel room is apartment style -it comes with dishware, pullout couch, and a stove. My only complaints are the location (we had to cab a bit often) and the size of the room (a bit on the smaller size).
Recommended if you're with a small party, or boyfriend/girlfriend. Not really recommended for a big party.Listed in: Hotels in Las Vegas

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here except this trip was for my bachelorette party. My Maid of Honor booked a 2 bedroom penthouse suite for 8 of us girls. CON - not all one area. There are two bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms, 2 living room areas, a king bed, queen bed and two fold out sofas. In order to go over to the next bedroom, we had to go through the front doors (not adjoining rooms either). PRO - staff was nice, our suite had 3 bathrooms which is always a plus with girls because we need mirror and counter space. We're just a short walk away from MGM. The staff was also nice bringing us room service far into the morning after the clubs.
Good times, good times... -
Review from Esther Y.
1/22/2012 1 Check-in Here
We booked a 1 bedroom suite through Jetsetter, which is actually associated with Luxury Suites International, which owns several floors in the 3 towers of the Signature. Because it is owned separately, you cannot ask the front desk of Signature to do anything for you, like extend your checkout time, request supplies, etc. They'll give you the phone for LSI, which you then have to call during their business hours.
Master bathroom: (mentioned first b/c it was the most impressive)
The master bathroom was very spacious and well equipped (except no toothbrushes or toothpaste). Plenty of towels, there's like 6 sets of everything! Two sinks in the master bathroom, a glass shower, and a whirlpool tub with jets (watch your step, it's slippery when you get in!). There's a magnified and illuminated makeup mirror as well as a hairdryer. The shampoo, conditioner, gel, lotion, and bar soaps are all mango something or other. There's even a TV in the bathroom. The toilet has a separate door and it always smells a little stuffy in there...
Our first night the shower took like 15 minutes to start producing hot water. I was not very happy. =P We didn't have that problem again the other nights.
Master bedroom:
The master bedroom itself had a queen bed, a large desk with a TV that rises out of it when you turn it on, and 2 closets, one with a safe and ironing board/iron, and the other with just hangers. There's an iPod dock/alarm clock that says it doesn't work with iPhone but it does, albeit low quality sound.
Living room:
The living room has a sofa bed that folds out into a fully made queen bed. There's extra pillows and blankets in one of the closets to throw on top of the already made bed. There's another TV in the living room, as well as a balcony facing the strip. Windows are metal-plated with a gold color.
Second bathroom:
Smaller, has the glass shower, full sink and typical amenities expected of a hotel room.
Kitchen:
Electric glass stovetop
Oven
Pots/pans/plates/bowls/utensils/cups/wine glasses/pans for baking
Coffee maker and coffee/tea
Full sink and dishwasher
Detergent, sponge, dishwasher detergent
Fridge/freezer
2 complimentary bottles of water per day
Wifi is spotty depending what floor and tower you're. 3G and cellphone service on AT&T also. Hardly worked at all for us in Tower 1 on the 18th floor. We thought it had to do with the metal coating of the windows, but our friends in Tower 2 on the 25th floor, also on AT&T, had no problems with their cellphone or wifi service.
Tower 1 has a business center you can use to check in for your flight and print free boarding passes. One of the gyms is also located here. The pools are at Towers 2 & 3. Starbucks is in the walkway from Tower 1 to the connector to MGM Grand.
The walk to MGM is about 5 minutes if you use the people movers (horizontal escalators). Once you actually get to the MGM, you still have to go through the food court/restaurants and casino before you get to the strip. I'd say it was like a 15 minute walk total? It feels like a long time, but hey, you'll need all the exercise you can get after pigging out at all the buffets! ;)
I do like that the hallways are very short so even if you're the room at the end of the hallway, it's not that far of a walk.
Despite the inconvenience of getting to the Strip, I would stay here again, IF they improve their cellphone reception or at least wifi. -

Holy crap, the bathroom in our suite was bigger then my bedroom at home!
Best hotel room I've ever stayed in. EVER. :D
I booked a one bedroom balcony suite here on http://hotels.com for $103/night (awesome deal!) during a weekend visit in January. The suite was amazing. With about 950 sq ft it was big enough for four people and it never felt like we were in each others way because the suite has two bathrooms! One normal size bathroom (still pretty spacious) and a humongous bathroom with a shower, jacuzzi bathtub, two sinks, and a tv. My first time livin' it up in Vegas. Woot woot! =)
LOVE:
-It was really peaceful and quiet. I felt like I could get a good nights sleep because you couldn't hear any party goers outside or the noise on the strip.
-The kitchenette! Really convenient to store leftovers, and the free apple I get from the gym
-The main bed was super comfy and even the sofa bed!
-The balcony was spacious and it was great to let fresh air in
-Non smoking resort. Yay!
-The decor of the rooms and the whole hotel was really nice and modern
-Room service was quick when needed. Everything was super clean! Staff was really friendly and professional.
-Three TVs in the room. I watched TV while taking a shower for the first time. =P
-Check out was a breeze. Just needed to do it on my tv.
They do charge a $22.50 resort fee per day of course. My total for the whole trip was about $270. But this includes wifi (blazing fast!) and access to the fitness center (Loved! Cardio machines with personal tvs!). The fitness center is located in Tower 1 and 3. I stayed in Tower 2 and the walk between each tower is maybe a minute at the most.
Main access to the The Signature is on Harmon Ave. It's gated and you need to tell the attendant that you are checking in. Once you get your room key, you can just swipe it at the gate to get access. I don't think there is self-parking, if there is, it looks super far. Valet is free and they get your car for you super fast. Within a few minutes. I loved not having to lug my luggage around.
As for the walk to the MGM grand and to the Strip, it does take about 10 minutes or so. But you are inside the a covered walkway the whole time and they have people movers to assist you on most of it. I liked the walk. Helps burn off all the calories from the buffets! Definitely doable. Don't let the distance scare you.
I really enjoyed my weekend at The Signature and will definitely be returning. LOVED IT. =)Listed in: Heading to Sin City, baby!

I have stayed in about 15 hotels and this one is my favorite. I love the hotel. There is nothing like having a kitchenette, a fridge, and good customer service no matter who you are. im not no business man, or a wale but they treat you good. no self parking, we valet everyone. I was greeted soon as i arrived, made me feel like they were waiting for me. Every thing was nice in our room. flat screen TV properly placed. soft bed. Everything i need in a hotel in vegas. to rest my body after partying.

Second time staying here on our trip to Vegas and I was extremely disappointed to say the least. Did not get a compup for sliding cash, the room we had was noticably smaller than our last visit and we had two more people this time around. Starting off w/ the bad.. 10-15min walks ALL the time getting to the strip and coming back from the strip so that's 30 mins of your day wasted. I remember it being a pain the last time but it was even worse this time. You'll have to end up using the monorail a lot ($12 all day) because you start at the bottom of the strip. Also, they did not allow late checkouts.
Good.. half of us watched Ka so it was right there. Conceirge's were always friendly, helpful and pleasant to talk to. I'd say the best of any hotel I've ever been a guest at. Overall, experience is a 3.5. I'll def be staying at the Bellagio or somewhere in the middle of the strip the next time around. -

Checking into the Green Monster. Lines, Bling, Noise... Wait you are in "The Signature"... Oh yes, this is much more civilized. Quiet, no casinos, no smoking!
Room - excellent. Bathroom very roomy - Jacuzzi tub was incredible. Outfitted with a great kitchen, Bed very comfortable! Free Wifi... If I ever return to Vegas this is my new home. -
Review from Mona W.
After reading all the stellar reviews about The Signature, I couldn't helped to be slightly disappointed. Why is everyone raving so much about this hotel? The location is certainly not the best. Even though it is technically 'connected' the MGM Grand, the walk to the strip is at least 15 minutes. Navigating through all the casinos and stores wasn't easy. The alternative would be to take a more direct but boring route through the back streets in questionable neighborhood.
The room is really no better than the newer citycenter hotels such as Aria, Vdata or Cosmopolitan. It is comfy and roomy but lacked character. The only thing I really like about Signature is the huge jacuzzi. Yes, the tub here is much way bigger than those in any standard rooms in Vegas. I enjoyed it. The kitchenette, oversized living area and study are now nothing more than just standard fare.
I am not too fond of valet parking. Even though it is complimentary, the tips could quickly rack up your bill. On a busy morning you are likely to experience a short wait when retrieving your car too.
The Signature is not a bad choice if you really want a gaming free hotel in Vegas. It just won't be my favorite. -

Loved it!
The main draw/benefit for me was that it's entirely non-smoking. As a New Yorker I'm not accustom the amount of second-hand smoke you're exposed to in Vegas (nor am I used to the dry-air), and having this oasis of clean air on the strip was wonderful. It was so quiet, too! We went there for our anniversary so we weren't looking for a loud party atmosphere; just a nice, relaxing, clean room with a great view and the Signature delivered for us.
We stayed on the 27th floor of tower 3 (about as far away from MGM Grand you can get without staying in a penthouse), it took a solid 5 minutes to get to the food court near the casino and an additional 5 minutes to get out of the building. My S.O. and I walk at a brisk North Eastern pace so it may take longer for the more relaxed traveler. HOWEVER, you can easily exit to the street and take the more direct route to the strip. It actually took us less time to walk to Planet Hollywood via Harmon Ave than it took to get to New York New York through MGM. It was a lovely 60*F when we were there so we didn't mind being outside, but I can imagine the draw of the inside walk during the summer.
The room was very comfortable, the bed was the perfect combination of firm with a pillow top. The pillows were a bit squishy for my taste, but that certainly won't ruin a trip. The kitchenette, the table, and sitting area were all perfect for 2 people for 3.5 days. The channel selection on the TV was kind of limited, but there is a dvd player and iHome in the space so you can bring your own entertainment.
The bathroom was huge with a really nice jacuzzi tub, 2 sinks, big shower, dimmer switch for the romantically minded, and a separate WC. The TV in the bathroom was amusingly small, but that's hardly a problem. The water temperature was inconsistent- never really cold, just not quite hot enough.
The housekeeper was also adorable, she organized all of our toiletries on little towels when she came to clean the room. I don't know why I found that so endearing.
The resort fee seems to vary. We agreed to $20/day when we booked through expedia, but when we went to check out it was listed twice at $25/day. They fixed it right away so no biggie, but make sure you know what rate you agreed to when you book and double check the bill when you leave. The resort fee includes use of the private pools and WiFi. -

So originally I got a special deal via travelzoo for $512.92 including resort fees and taxes in July for a 3-night stay at the Signature in October. Oh and did I mention, it was a penthouse suite? Well I ended up cancelling my reservation and booked another deal (I KNOW, I KNOW. BAD CHOICE) for the same nights but no PH...for about $530... the only difference is (besides no PH and the minor increase in price) was that it was a fashion outlets shopping package. I don't even remember exactly what was in the package except I do remember there was some neiman marcus gc if you spent this much $. Which is lame 'cause it's basically a coupon. And some other lame shenanigans... totally regret cancelling the PH and booking this deal 'cause I didn't even use the shopping package...
The Signature is located a little off the strip but honestly, it's not as far as you think it is. The walking distance to MGM itself, is about 20 minutes through the hotel... so that's the only downside if you hate walking far in Vegas. But it's a pretty exclusive, non-smoking hotel. No casino so if you wanna gamble, walk on over to MGM or take a cab to Harrah's or wherever you'd like. The hotel itself is nice and well maintained, but once checking into our room, it was no bueno... it reeked of chlorine as if they JUST cleaned the room. And the small sofa in front of the bed was WET/DAMP from god knows what. The view was shitty and the room was stuffy. I decided to complain about it and I was hoping maybe they'd have a PH suite available but no luck; we just switched rooms with a better view of the strip instead of the...desert.
Our new room was definitely better scented, not stuffy, had a better view... but our TV was on. And there was no way to turn it off. The remote for the TV didn't work. The button for the TV didn't work. I was like.. WOW. Is there something wrong with EVERY room?? I decided to call the front desk to have someone repair the TV instead of complaining and changing rooms, again. Since it's really not a big deal... but c'mon, we're PAYING to stay in a nice hotel, the least you could do, is accommodate us with what we need and a nice room to stay in. Not have us change rooms, or have us call the front desk for problems. But of course, $hit happens. And it is what it is. Got the TV fixed, tipped the guy 2 bucks and decided to finally enjoy the room to ourselves...
My experience wasn't HORRIBLE as some yelpers had gone through... but it has definitely made me think twice about staying here the next time I come to Vegas. Probably won't stay here again... It was my first time in Vegas since I turned 21, too! So I wanted it to start out AMAZING. But it's all gooood. Lesson learned. NEVER CANCEL YOUR PH SUITE BOOKING. But then again, problems could occur like double bookings, or your room isn't ready, etc etc. Gotta expect the worst but hope for the best =P
The good thing about my 3 night stay there was that overall, it wasn't bad. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was big. And the little balcony area was nice too.
2/5 stars for The Signature. Sorry, wished I could have liked it more.Listed in: I'll pass., $IN CITY, hotels I've stayed at

Stayed here for a bachelorette party in march. There were 8 of us girls and we each spent $100 to stay for two nights. it was like a pent house sweet. It had two rooms, they werent connected like you would think, but if you just closed the main door then it was fine. We had a nice kitchen in our room and then a half kitchen in the other room. two couches and two king beds. We also had a balcony which was great too. We ordered room service every night which came fast and it was tasty for a drunken night. One of the guys also took the car and drove us to a place we wanted to go outside of the strip, but when we left we ask him how much $ and he was like uhh idk so we just gave him whatever we could, but it was nice of him to do that. I would def stay here again if i had to.

Holy Moly. I have to say this place is amazing. And I have stayed at some swanky digs across this great land of ours, so I know what I'm taking about.
We stayed here on New Years Eve and the day after. We figured it would help our bodes not to be making the endeavor all the way back to sunny Phoenix the following day. We got there around 1pm and instantly got a room. We had a choice of getting a studio suite immediately on the 26th floor or waiting a little later for a balcony room to open up on a lower floor. We took the 26th floor room that was ready to go. We weren't going to be living in our room so we really didn't want or need a balcony. And we wanted to drop our bags and start boozing. It's New Year's Eve in Las Vegas for Pete's sake.
We had a room facing west, so it faced the Planet Hollywood Towers and Las Vegas Boulevard. Our view basically started at the Monte Carlo all the way up to the Stratosphere. Unbelievable. I could have stayed glued to the window looking outside all day. Like a puppy in the window. But I managed to wipe my nose smudge off the window and get ready to go downstairs. It's Vegas damn it!
Now I saw on the reviews a lot of people moaning about the walk from the towers to the MGM Grand. Ironically, we stayed in Tower 3, which is the furthest away from the casino floor. You have to walk through these corridors, through Tower 2, through Tower 1, then shops then casino. And a portion of the walkways are the people mover type. I clocked it and from Tower 3 to the casino, it took 11 minutes. I was also walking with ladies in high heels. So all the complainers who said it took 30 minutes were either walking a.) blindfolded b.) got lost because they are texting while walking or c.) crabwalking the route.
You can't go wrong with the MGM Grand casino. You could land a 747 jumbo jet in this place. It's huge. This place was swarming with people (so was all of greater Las Vegas) so it goes to show the recession is easing up around here.
The best part about the room is that we brought our own food. They have a mini refrigerator, stove top, microwave, and plenty of counter space. There is also plenty of places to eat. We had 6 people in the room and no one had to sit on the bed or sit on anyone's laps. Well not until the booze started to flow. Hee hee. Honestly, it was a great room. It was very nice not having to wait in line at a restaurant or overpay for casino food. We had plenty to eat and plenty to drink.
After breezing through multiple casinos on New Year's Eve, we stumbled out onto Las Vegas Boulevard. Before we left MGM Grand, they had casino employees take people's drinks that were in glasses and exchange them for plastic cups. Smart idea. All it takes is for one drunk (cause there are none in Las Vegas to be seen) to ruin it for everyone else. Las Vegas Metro PD had closed down Las Vegas Boulevard at 5pm to traffic and let pedestrians wander the streets. It was a cool feeling walking down the street without the concern of being hit by an Escalade or being arrested by the po-po. We stayed in the middle of the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard at midnight and watched the fireworks shoot off the buildings. It was freakin awesome.
All in all, I don't usually give 5 stars to any of my reviews. However, this one earned it. Everyone was very friendly and had genuine smiles. Not the fake Disneyland stuff either. We did pay an arm and a leg for our room for New Years, but this is the City of Entertainment. Also know that all vehicles are valet (no self parking, unless you want to park at the MGM Grand and walk with your lugguage; but you are on vacation you cheap ass: splurge a little). Also, they charge this "resort fee" which is beginning to get my pants in a bunch (yes you all who charge this). But most, if not all, charge this in Las Vegas, so it is what it is.
My suggestion- Request highest floor facing Las Vegas Boulevard (west facing). Don't spend more on a balcony- you probably won't even need it. And bring some food with you to enjoy in the room. -

For the price, The Signature is definitely one of the better non-casino hotels off the strip.
When making a reservation, try to book a room in Tower 1. It's closer to the strip, has the gym, the lounge, and the Starbucks.
Check in was fast, and our luggage was sent up to the room immediately.
In room dining was affordable, the food came in nice portions and tasted great.
For the price I give everything 4.5/5 stars. We really loved the fully stocked kitchenette and large whirlpool tub. After a quick trip to the grocery store (though the bellman told us we could have groceries delivered to the hotel and room and service would send them up to our room) I was able to make steak and eggs, hash, grilled cheese sandwiches, and anything else we needed during out trip, which helped save on eating out.
After a long night of clubbing in high heels, the whirlpool tub was the perfect cure to our aching feet. The tub looked clean when we first got there, but we had room service clean it while we were gone for good measure. While we were gone they also did our dishes, folded all our clothes left out, and left us extra towels and pillows.
We drove anywhere we needed to be, so valet wasn't as ideal as a parking lot would have been in terms of timing since we were in a rush the first morning (you cant call for your car to be ready before you're downstairs). However, the bellman helping us check out helped speed things up a bit by taking our ticket down with out luggage while we got ready to check out.
I'd say this place is perfect for those who aren't planning to walk up and down the strip or gamble too much. If you want to spend more time downtown and don't plan on driving, you'll be better of booking a room downtown. -

We stayed at The Signature for five nights while NASCAR was in town. I cannot fault the hotel for a darn thing. The staff was very attentive and everything we asked for was given to us with a wonderful smile. Special shout out to the valet staff that work extremely hard to park & retrieve the cars! We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, yet it was within walking distance of the MGM Grand (with a moving walkway too!) We will return!

I really enjoyed when I stayed here for a Friday/Saturday night in a Jr. Suite with my sister and her friend. Something about driving up to a gated place and giving them your name to get in felt super legit. Parking is valet and free, just give tip. Check-in was quick and the front desk person was nice. The room is beautiful, a good size and clean. The bathroom is pretty big and the tub with the jets is amazing. One negative thing was there may have been something wrong with our thermostat because it was so warm in the room sometimes. Since I booked through Luxury Suites International, I had to go to them for maintenance issues and not The Signature itself.
Since I went the weekend before Thanksgiving it was pretty quiet and less than $300 for the stay (good deal in comparison to other hotels with the same amenities). I can't wait to come here again when it's warmer so I can check out the huge pool area. -

We just returned from staying here for the Christmas holiday. Loved it! There is honestly nothing negative I can say about this place. We had a one-bedroom suite. Beautiful. Very spacious. Tons of closet and drawer space all throughout the suite. The bedroom is a good size. The main bathroom is beautiful and very large. It has a huge jacuzzi tub, large separate shower, separate toilet area. Flat screen TV. The bedroom has a large hidden flat screen TV inside the desk in front of the bed. You press power on the remote and the TV rises up from inside the desk. Pretty cool. There is a full, gourmet kitchen. Every utensil you will need, is there. Blender, small coffee maker, pots, pans, serving dishes, silverware, drink pitchers, juice glasses, wine glasses...EVERYTHING! Housekeeping washes all of your dishes everyday. Which is really nice.
In the main area is a 4 seater, glass dining table and a breakfast bar with two barstools. There is a full second bathroom with a large shower. Then in the main seating area there is a large couch that lets out into a bed and a chaise lounge chair. There is also a good sized balcony.
When you arrive to The Signature you must first report to a guard outside the gate. He will look up your name and find out which of the 3 towers you have been assigned to stay. Then he will let you through the very large security gates. We stayed in Tower 3 which is the furthest tower from MGM. There is a long walking corridor that connects all 3 towers and eventually leads into the main casino of MGM. I didn't mind the walk but several people in my group complained and wished we had stayed in Tower 1, which is the closest tower to MGM. Each tower has their own lobby and registration and are beautifully decorated.
The service was on point. Everyone from valet, front desk to housekeeping, was incredibly nice and helpful.
Reminder: They hold out $100 per day on your card for 'incidentals'.
