Last year, MGM Resorts International and Marriott finalized a deal that saw an impressive collection of Las Vegas megaresorts join the Marriott Bonvoy family. Now, the gaming giant's namesake property, MGM Grand, is unveiling an extensive renovation set to uplift the resort by $300 million.

Scheduled for completion by December, the planned $300 million face-lift will give the main tower's 4,212 rooms and suites a new life with a modern take on "the flair of the disco era," according to a statement from MGM Resorts International.

Designed in partnership with architecture firm Gensler and MGM Resorts Design & Development, the updated rooms will have warm gray wall coverings, updated media consoles, updated outlets near beds, modern smart TVs, enhanced blackout drapery, more surface space, new refrigerators that are separate from the minibar, and updated spa-inspired bathrooms with new walk-in showers.

The remodel will also add 111 suites to the hotel's inventory, bringing the total number of suites up to 753, starting at 675 square feet in size and maxing out at over 2,500. The new and upgraded suites will have strong dark finishes with lighter accents like sheer roller shades to bring in light. Living areas will include new sections and artwork that transforms based on your vantage point. Overall, the suites will be more functional, with layouts that more clearly divide work from entertainment.

The new rooms and suites will be available to book starting March 1.

New dining and entertainment experiences

Though rooms and suites are the main focus of this project, other areas of the resort are also getting some exciting changes.

Starting Feb. 20, MGM Grand will be home to an experiential full-service restaurant called Netflix Bites, created in partnership with streaming service Netflix. Found on the casino floor, Netflix Bites will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serve a menu inspired by hit Netflix shows like "Stranger Things," "Bridgerton" and more.

A teaser of the menu includes:

  • "Eleven's Fried Feast" — crispy chicken and waffle sliders perfect for foodies who love a little dimension-hopping, served both "Hawkins" style and "Upside Down"
  • "Bridgerton Regency Tea" — a lavish three-tiered tea service with finger sandwiches, scones and pastries straight from the Ton, served with a menu designed by Lady Whistledown herself
  • "La Casa del Sangria" — a Spanish-style cocktail with gold-dusted mint leaves, served in a lockbox that'll have guests solving a puzzle, challenging for even the sharpest of the "Money Heist" crew
  • "Too Hot to Handle"-inspired bloody mary — a cocktail so spicy it comes with its own potholder in case guests can't handle the heat

MGM Grand will also be home to a new day club called Palm Tree Beach Club, set to open in May. Founded by musical artists Kygo and Myles Shear, the day club will open in partnership with Tao Group Hospitality, known for its collection of famous resorts around the world.

Once open, the Rockwell Group-designed club will span 60,000 feet and have a stage, a saltwater pool, bungalows, cabanas, daybeds and chaise lounges in a space designed to fit more than 3,000 people.
