The MGM Grand Las Vegas hotel and casino first opened in 1993 with over 6,800 rooms, making it the largest hotel in the world at the time. It was built on the site of the former Marina Hotel and Casino and featured an extensive "Wizard of Oz" theme throughout its public areas for many years. The MGM Grand offers luxury accommodations, a large casino floor, convention space, entertainment venues, restaurants, and other amenities across its large complex. It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International and remains one of the largest and most prominent hotels on the Las Vegas Strip.
