MGM Signature in Vegas!

So DH and I will be soon be booking our late honeymoon to Vegas in September. After looking around and doing tons of research I decided that the Signature looked amazing and really reasonable. I do have some questions, though. It looks like we have a lot of booking options. The cheapest I have found so far is to book the room through their website and get the tickets from the airline. But, the website also does air/hotel packages. Or I just discovered that you can rent a room through vrbo. I'm thinking the safest way to go is through their website, especially for the room. We'd like to play the honeymoon card when we get there and see if they can get us a good room with a view and booking with them will probably help us with that. Also, to those of you with experience in Vegas, how will weather and crowds be about the 2nd/3rd week of Sept? Any recs on things to do that don't involve casinos? Any good places to go for food? Enlighten me, please! TIA

    We stayed at the signature towers last october, the hotel and the weather was beautiful. I wouldnt worry too much about them being accomidating when booking through some place like travelocity we booked through them or expedia (cant remember which one) and got upgraded to a penthouse suite for no reason whatsoever. as far as things to do there is always tonnes of stuff besides gambling, I dont think I spent more than $20 a day on the machines and the rest of the time just walking around. We went to the wax museum, day trip to the grand canyon, went to some shows and if you like thrill rides the ones at the top of the stratosphere (sp?) seem to fit the bill, i didnt do them cause im a big chicken but fi loved them. only two problems with the signature towers, the first make sure that the cab driver or whatever takes you to the signature entrance its a bit of trek from the MGM lobby, and second make sure to get a monorail pass because its a bit of a hike past random shops befor you get to the strip which is fine everyonce and awhile but you get tired of passing the hordes of people trying to sell you stuff. Hope that helps

    Can't give you much advise on what to do there but FI and I just booked our honeymoon there as well and we're also going the 3rd week in Sept. We booked through a travel agent which doesn't cost any extra and we're staying at the Luxor. It's only costing us $1173. One thing we discovered though, which I've heard before, if you fly during the week it's cheaper so we're leaving the monday after the wedding and coming back the following monday because it was actually cheaper staying the extra day than returning on sunday. So $1173 for 8 days 7nights is pretty good I think.We were told we should see some cirque du soliel shows as well so we're considering "O" or maybe "Love" and also looking into some of the less expensive shows. We're also thinking of renting a car and doing the Hoover Dam/Grand Canyon thing. When we looked it up online it was about $60 for a day compared to the $150-$250 and up for one of the bus/helicoptor tours they offer. Plus then we can do it on our time and don't have to follow their schedule. We'll probably just spend a couple days walking the strip and checking everything out and checking out some of the clubs/bars at night. Sorry this is so long and GL with all of your honeymoon planning!
