AAA awarded MGM Grand more 2007 AAA Diamonds under one roof than any other hotel in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico.

MGM Grand’s AAA Diamond accolades include being the world’s largest hotel to also have four diamonds.

With 5,044 guest rooms and suites, MGM Grand is also the world’s largest hotel to hold the AAA Four Diamond designation, according to hotel officials.

“To be recognized as the U.S. property with the most AAA Diamond designations is a testament to the resort’s quality of service and amenities and our commitment to delivering an unforgettable Las Vegas experience,” said MGM Grand President & COO Gamal Aziz.

MGM Grand has been transformed in recent years. The evolution of MGM Grand began in 2001 with the opening of Michael Mina’s NOBHILL. In 2002, MGM Grand continued high quality culinary offerings with the introduction of Pearl, a contemporary Chinese dining place, and Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak,

Restaurant introductions continued in 2003 with the opening of Stephen Hanson’s Fiamma Trattoria and Michael Mina’s SEABLUE. Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill and Emeril Lagasse’s New Orleans Fish House were also redesigned.

In 2005, MGM Grand unveiled SKYLOFTS – a private sanctuary of 51 two-story accommodations with expansive views of the Las Vegas skyline.

In 2005, MGM Grand also premiered Cirque du Soleil’s KÁ, a theatrical production that combines acrobatic performances, martial arts, puppetry, multimedia and pyrotechnics to illustrate the nature of duality.
Michael Geeser, AAA Nevada spokesperson, said:

“MGM Grand is truly setting new marks in Las Vegas for style and service. The Strip property is absolutely raising the bar in its attention to detail while providing its customers with a fabulous experience.”
