MGM Signature 35th Floor Jacuzzi Penthouse XL Balcony Strip View No Resort Fee | Condo in Las Vegas

Stay in a Jacuzzi Penthouse reserved by writers and fighters. Its enormous Strip-side balcony gives the 35th-floor suite at The Signature at MGM Grand panoramic views of Vegas' nightlife.
Suite #35609 is in Tower 1 of The Signature at MGM Grand, closest tower to MGM's 6.5 acre pool complex, Lazy River, bars, clubs, shows, casino and MGM Grand Garden Arena. It's a secondary residence for me. As such, it's routinely checked and maintained. It meets my high standards and it will meet yours -- or I will make sure it does.
THE SPACE:
+ NO Resort Fee, a daily savings of more than $40 compared to direct bookings through MGM and other Vegas resorts.
+ 550-square-foot penthouse equipped with King Bed, Queen Bed pullout couch, large-screen HD TV, large wooden desk, closet, drawers, digital safe, bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and separate shower, dual sinks, fog-free mirrors, hair dryer, soaps, body wash, shampoo, lotion, towels, etc.

+ Easy check-in process similar to hotel resorts. With ID and credit/debit card, you receive your key cards at front desk of Tower 1 or 2. Proceed to Tower 1's 37th-floor.
+ At check-in, MGM will put a hold on your credit card for an amount between $100 to $300 (depending on length of stay). This is for incidental purchases (e.g., room service, pay-per-view TV movies, spa, etc). Any unused credit is returned to your credit card after you check out.
+ The MGM Signature is a smoke-free property with the exception of smoking sections near each lobby and the MGM Grand casino. Smoking or vaping in any suite will result in a $300 charge to the credit/debit card on file.
+ The suite is thoroughly cleaned before each reservation, but there is no daily housekeeping provided. If you want the third-party housekeeping company to clean the suite an additional time during your stay and/or bring extra towels/linens to the suite, there will be an additional fee.

+ T-Mobile Arena abuts New York-New York, which connects to the MGM Grand via pedestrian bridge. It's a 10- to 15-minute walk from the MGM pedestrian bridge.
+ Allegiant Stadium is less than 2 miles from MGM Signature, e.g., a 10-minute Uber/Lyft (est. $13) when using the taxi lot at the roundabout outside Tower 1.
Guest access
The entire penthouse is yours to enjoy.
Other things to note:
I have four VRBO units at MGM Signature (three penthouses and one 1BR/2BA condo). Each is tricked out and upgraded to offer a superior experience to run-of-the-mill suites managed by MGM or private ones managed by third-party companies.
