Park MGM is a 2,993-room resort at 3770 Las Vegas Boulevard South, owned by Vici Properties and operated by MGM Resorts International. It opened in this form on May 9, 2018, after a $550 million reinvention of the former Monte Carlo Resort and Casino, which had operated on the same site since 1996.
The draw is location and atmosphere: Park MGM anchors the north end of The Park, the outdoor promenade that leads directly to T-Mobile Arena, and the resort trades the mega-casino floor of its neighbors for a smaller, boutique-feeling gaming space that’s also the Las Vegas Strip’s only fully smoke-free casino, plus upscale dining from Bavette’s and Eataly and Dolby Live, one of the Strip’s marquee residency venues.

Rooms, Pool and Casino
Standard Park MGM rooms occupy the 32-story tower, while the top floors house The Reserve at Park MGM (rebranded from NoMad Las Vegas in December 2025), a boutique hotel-within-a-hotel with its own entrance, elevators and check-in for guests wanting a quieter, higher-end stay.
The pool deck has three distinct pools rather than one big spread: the lively North Pool with surrounding cabanas and a poolside DJ, the more intimate adults-only East Pool with a VIP section, and the square-shaped South Pool, plus two bars and cabana rentals. The casino floor is intentionally scaled down compared to sister properties and is the only fully smoke-free casino on the Strip, covering the gaming floor, rooms, restaurants and pools alike.
Shows, Attractions and Dining
Dolby Live, the 5,200-seat venue that opened as Park Theater in December 2016, has hosted long-running residencies from Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Cher and Aerosmith; 2026 bookings include Sammy Hagar’s returning residency and new runs from Zayn Malik and Mary J. Blige. See ThrillZing’s Las Vegas residency tips for planning a show around your stay.
Dining anchors include Bavette’s Steakhouse, an Eataly Las Vegas food hall, and Primrose, reflecting Park MGM’s shift toward a culinary-forward identity distinct from its MGM siblings.
Location and Who Should Stay Here
Park MGM sits directly on The Park, the landscaped walkway that connects to T-Mobile Arena, making it one of the easiest Strip hotels for arena concerts and events. It’s a short walk or rideshare to the Sphere and roughly a 10-15 minute drive to Allegiant Stadium.
It suits couples and concertgoers prioritizing walkable arena access, smoke-free air and a boutique atmosphere over a sprawling mega-casino, plus travelers who want the option to upgrade into The Reserve’s quieter luxury tier without changing resorts.
