Mandatory valet and if you don't like that you can park at MGM and walk over. WHich leads me to your question- Yes it does take a long time to walk to the Strip. You basically have two chopices- walk along Harmon which is a mess because of the construction or walk from the towers via the tunnel/walkway and then through MGM. Find an aerial map and see how far that actually is. We had friends who stayed at Signature for 6 months and when ever we went to visit it was always a pain in the butt.

We've never hired a car in Vegas and usually walk beteen the casinos, how can you drive when the alcohol is free? Last year we walked from Bellagio to the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, which wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but it did mean I could eat and drink what I wanted and only put one pound on. I've just booked my flights for this November, and you might be able to offer some more advice closer to the time as we're having a few nights in LA/Anaheim first. Thanks for the info Jim From LA.

Either that or we park at Paris and walk over. The free park behind the Miracle Mile is ridiculous but it was the only place to put a lot I assume. Or do they think it would stimulate the need to buy. As Tim says we come to Vegas to gamble not be forced to drag our wives through a shopping area to get to a casino. By the time you get to the casino the husband is mad because he had to walk and the wife is mad because she couldn't shop. We have stayed at the Grand Desert on Harmon and hesitate to walk from Korval to the strip. It looks too grungy for me. dan The only time we valet park in Vegas is for the Planet Ho.

I even spent some time at the pool (and I NEVER do that in Vegas since the penny slots call my name.) I am wanting to book another stay there VERY soon. As for walking to the strip, I think it is not the best. When at The Signature they make you feel like you are not even in Vegas. I had my car, and there is a private entrance on Harmon. So, I didn't walk, and I am glad. First, I wouldn't walk on Harmon there. The area surrounding The Signature is a little beat up. So, that leaves the MGM pathway. I never used it, but from looking at the distance from my room to the MGM I would say it is 10-15 minutes. But, I would believe it is enjoyable. I wouldn't know... I am kinda lazy. Think of it this way, would you walk from Hooters to the strip? Then you have your answer. During that same trip I HATED walking through the P Ho Mircle Mile to get the casino more then the trip from The Signature to the Strip. Stupid Shoes! Lou,

If so how long does it take to walk from your room to the Strip? I know it took me 10 minutes from a 14th floor room at Bellagio, out the south exit via the covered moving walkway, to the crossing outside P Ho. I guess it would take a lot longer from Signature to the Strip. Also which is the best way to walk - via MGM Grand or along Harmon?
