The private, gated entrance and lobby set the tone at the sophisticated, quiet, non-gaming, nonsmoking Luxury Suites International at The Signature. Located on the grounds of the classic retro-Hollywood-styled MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (connected via covered, moving walkway), you’ll have easy access to one of the largest gaming floors in all of Vegas. When you finally do venture out, prepare for sensory overload – the flashy neon Strip is just a ten-minute stroll (maybe a bit longer in your “fancy night out” shoes). By the time you’re finally up the next day, the sun will likely already be in full force, so throw on a swimsuit, grab your biggest, darkest sunglasses (for effect) and find a spot poolside, after a possible detour to the Starbucks in Tower 1. Lounge the rest of the day away at the adults-only pool, waving the server over for another look at the menu when your current drink runs dry. If you’re looking for a change of scenery, float around the famed lazy river at the MGM Grand, or hit either of the two fitness centers. Checking your watch would be pointless – it’s Vegas after all. But when the sun starts fading, head to The Lounge in Tower 1 to game-plan the rest of the night over daily drink specials.

Pull up to the elegant tower suites and toss your keys to the valet as you head for the elevator. (You could get used to this.) Pull the curtains aside or step out on your private balcony for expansive views of the Strip and surrounding mountains. Impressive marble bathrooms with jetted tubs and June Jacobs citrus shampoo make a spectacular personal retreat. The one- and two-bedroom suites dazzle with full gourmet kitchens for the aspiring Inas, Giadas and Nigellas. But even if you’re planning to leave the cooking to a combination of 24/7 room service and the experts behind the award-winning local dining scene, the Sub Zero refrigerator is a nice touch.

The 24/7 concierge is your secret weapon when it comes to planning dinner reservations and day trips sure to solidify your hero-travel-planner status. It’s not just a booking desk – it’s a fountain of local insider information on everything from championship golf courses, to some of the world’s most jaw-dropping boutique shopping, to once-in-a-lifetime helicopter tours over the Grand Canyon. Save yourself hours scouring the Internet for schedules and prices and maps, and go straight to the experts who would be thrilled to help you make the most your stay.
