Park MGM is one of the better resort experiences on the Strip — intimate, well-designed, and a genuine alternative to the mega-resort chaos. The happy hour scene? Still catching up. Eataly is spectacular for Italian food, wine, and gelato but the happy hour menu is entry-level. Crack Shack is a chicken chain. BetMGM is a sportsbook with a burger and beer deal. It’s fine. The good news — Park MGM sits at the crossroads of New York-New York, ARIA, and MGM Grand. Walk in any direction and the happy hour options get significantly better.
