Roulette, Blackjack, and other table games are set up in the center of the space with the slot machines mostly on the perimeter. The casino is clearly set up for table games. I found the seating bulky and awkward: Casino chairs seem to be made for giants: they are huge, heavy, and hard to get in and out of. Walk outside to the Bellagio Patisserie, and you're going to pay $6 for a 16 oz coffee. There are very few cocktail staff serving taking drink orders and drinks are for sale. As far as the casino itself, if you're looking for free cocktails or soda while you're playing, forget it. It is gambling! But, when you don't see anyone hitting a big jackpot, and see people around you putting in $20 after $ 20, the slot floor definitely looks tightly set. My husband actually walked away $90 richer (between the two of us we broke even).

Last week I had a better experience hitting bonus rounds and coming home with less of a dent in my pocket. On my more recent visit, I had a more entertaining experience because, unlike my March visit, I wasn't seeing every dollar vanish with no reward. Unlike Live! in Anne Arundel where I've hit $1,000 jackpots more than once on the penny slots, I didn't experience anything close to that here and saw no one hit any jackpot over $200. I've been to the casino twice now (mid week March and weekend in May) and both times I came away feeling like the slots were set up like they are in Las Vegas: pretty tight with rare small, medium or large jackpots. I occasionally enjoy playing the slots, so having a new casino less than an hour from my house was something I wanted to check out after all the December hoopla subsided. You can't go wrong with any selection you make! If you want an adult night out, good food, entertainment and a little gambling, stop by. I recommend a Jasmine, cold, sweet and refreshing.

The winnings were up, the winnings were down, even, and back up! What a great time! Dinner at Ginger was excellent! After a bumpy start with seating and menus and wait staff, we finally styled in with our server, Maria, and what a server! She was excellent not only with her suggestions, but the descriptions of the meals were a meal in themselves! We started with wine and cocktails.

After collecting my winnings, we joined forces to slay the Blackjack Dragon and slay we did. Not only are there enough tables for everyone, the slot machines are everywhere! I spent my time at the slots and my husband at the tables. MGM does not disappoint with its east coast hotel and casino, it's Las Vegas, only better! All the splendor of big city gambling, right on the Harbor.
