About the Casino
Although originally built and operated by The Marnell family - the design and construction firm responsible for building some of the city's most revered and successful resorts including Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas - the M Resort was purchased in 2010 by Penn National Gaming. So far they've been keeping things status quo, which is good because the M Resort is a highly appealing package that is worth your attention if you're done with The Strip (as many people are).
The hotel is situated in the foothills of the mountains that ring the southern edge of the Las Vegas Valley, about 10 miles due south of Mandalay Bay. Folks who drive in from Los Angeles won't be able to miss it - it's the first building of any consequence along interstate 15 as you are arriving in the city. And you won't be able to miss The Strip in the distance. Perched on a rise, it offers some remarkable views of the entire region.
The design of the hotel takes full advantage of these views with liberal use of windows and terraces throughout the public areas that bring the outside in. That theme is continued with the overall décor, which uses a variety of natural material to create a constant parade of textures and contours, all much more pleasing to the eye than your typical flat wall and smooth ceiling. Rich woods, heavy stonework, blown glass, luxurious fabrics, crystal, water features, and more are highlighted giving the place a warmth that is missing from a lot of hotels. Note the mother of pearl accents - it's on the support columns and ceiling. Very nice touch.
