I'm going to be landing around 1030pm on a Saturday in a month. I plan on checking in at the airport at MGM Grand. I believe they have a shuttle to take me to the hotel. Am I correct to think this is the best way for me to get to the hotel?

Wrong. MGM does NOT have a shuttle. Sorry.

100% correct. You'll get there in less than half the time as it would take waiting for a cab since MGM is one of the first stops for the shuttles.

First, bad quoting, second, WRONG there is a shuttle. There are tons of shuttle services outside the airport for 5 bucks a piece and they do in fact go to any strip/downtown casino you wish. That's what people mean by "The shuttle". There are probably half a dozen companies out there. They are located at the opposite side of baggage claim from the cabs.

I think the question is, does the MGM run it's own special shuttle to/from the airport?

I am unaware of any such special MGM shuttle service. If you're a high-roller you can get an MGM limo to come pick you up and stand there with the "SMITH" sign. Otherwise, I think it's public transportation.

So when Photoc says "yes there's a shuttle" he's pointing at the generic shuttle companies. When Cactus says "no" he's saying MGM runs no private shuttle.

Punk: What'd you find on the MGM website that suggests they have a private airport shuttle?

On the MGM Grand website, under Amenities and Airport Check in, I guess I just assumed when they say "Shuttle Service" that it was a "MGM Shuttle Service". The actual wording is...

Shuttle Service

Individual shuttle and porterage service is available and may be booked at time of room registration from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily.

I won't get in until 1030pm or so anyways, so I guess I'll just use one of the generic shuttle services.

AT that time, to the MGM, you should be there in 15 minutes or less. MGM is usually the first drop.

Bav's right, at least what I meant. Strip hotels have no shuttle bus service. MGM properties do have their own limos. Bell handles all Harrahs properties limos.

I'm driving a limo for the Rio all weekend.

I guess I should know as this is what I do to keep the roof over my head.
