For most people traveling is an escape from their daily mundane lives, so they welcome the idea of a smaller space for a short amount of time in order to experience a different city and have fun. For others its a Haute getaway sometimes spurred by the need to simply relax. Being confined to a space that is not paralleled to their normal standard of living simply isn’t an option. Enter the SkyLofts at MGM Grand, a loft so well thought out it leaves no room for questions and has anticipated the needs of its guests. I had the pleasure of touring this Haute Property last night during the Tweet Your Way To SkyLofts event. SkyLofts are available in 1, 2, and 3 bedroom configurations. I toured the 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath loft which encompasses over 3,000 SQ FT of living space. To include a kitchen, an office, a master suite with a walk in closet and private workout room, a guest suite that sleeps 2 , a living room, a non formal and a formal dining room, various lounging areas, a balcony and the fabulous outdoor dip pool with unparalleled views of the strip. The lofts are outfitted almost exclusively with Bang & Olufsen products including phones, speakers, and televisions with the exception of various iPod docks. Sprawling across two floors the loft is available at nightly rates starting at $5,000 based on season and demand.
