Starbucks – Studio Walk

This Starbucks is conveniently located inside the MGM Signature’s Tower 1, where we stayed for four nights.
I’m not sure there’s too much I can say as this franchise does a pretty good job of maintaining general consistency in service and flavor. Every latte and chai I ordered here was standard and their service was courteous and prompt.

Gets really busy, but they get the orders out quick. It is the only Starbucks open in the casino area because the one by the rainforest café closes so early. Typical Starbucks menu nothing too fancy. Prices arent bad considering it is in a casino. Staff is nice. I come here for break at work.

Nice handy location in walking mall of shops. Much less wait time than in casino — Coffee is typical Starbucks and much needed after late Vegas nights !!!

Finally no line! Was able to pick up a post-​pool afternoon coffee today as there was no line. I usually get my coffee in Tower 1 Starbucks. The Baristas were friendly and efficient and my drink was great. I pay with my phone and feel bad that at this Starbucks they have to key in the number manually.
This location is right by the food court on the main walkway from the casino to the pool (closer to the pool side).

I believe this is one of the two Starbucks within the MGM. This location is located in the center of the resort within the casino and next to the breakfast restaurant.
This Starbucks and the other on located by the food court consistently had a line during the morning hours. I am talking 20 people deep. 20 people deep and they only had a few staff members so this meant a long wait for a coffee or whatever breakfast items you may be looking for. The reason why this line grew so large was because this was the only other breakfast option besides the sit down breakfast spot.

This is, by far, the slowest Starbucks in the whole entire nation. Why is there only one person working. The line wraps around the damn place. And apparently it is always the case. Terrible.
As far as the actual coffee, it was fine.

Another of the mutiple Starbucks locations located at MGM. This one is in the Studio Walk mall area and is a perfect spot to grab a cup o’ joe on while walking around to the pool area, exploring the massiveness of this casino/​resort, or on the the way to the monorail when heading out to the convention center.
Since most casinos won’t put a coffee machine in the rooms we are stuck heading down to the main floor or these areas to score a cup of much needed morning caffeine. It’s one of three locations in MGM alone! MGM is that big.
As I was here these past few days attending a convention along with thousands of others the lines at this one never seemed that long and they moved pretty quickly. Normal Starbucks menu and the baristas were good. Yet, it seems as if they are a bit pricier than normal. Must be that casino inflation!

Starbucks are great. But the barista (Omar) was a dick. I’ll stick to another Starbucks if he is behind the counter.

Over priced, no breakfast sandwiches… was good to have a Starbucks in the MGM

Prices were the same as at home. Never had to wait in a long line. Service was good.

I admit that I review a lot of Starbuck’s. I see Unilocal as my Diary. And since Starbuck’s is a part of my life, I enjoy sharing my experiences at their locations through Unilocal reviews.
Not every Starbuck’s is identical. I strongly feel that one of the reasons that Starbuck’s is so popular is because each location has its own characteristics. This Starbuck’s is the serene location off the Strip corridor. It is located in the boom docks of the MGM Grand all the way in the lobby of The Signature Towers. To give you an idea of how big the MGM Grand is, it is located in the vicinity of Harmon and Audrie Streets.
One of the reasons that it is so serene is that it is a relatively unknown Starbucks to people not staying at the Signature Towers. For newcomers finding this Starbucks is a similar activity to finding Secret Pizza. From the Strip entrance of the MGM Grand, the walk to this Starbucks is genuinely a hike. It requires walking across the labyrinth of the casino and Studio Walk. Where Studio Walk dead ends near the pool, there are two doors on the left. I believe they say Signature Towers in small letters. Beyond the two doors, there is an elongated hall that overlooks the Grand Garden Arena, and crosses over Audrie Street toward Harmon. This is the area where Starbuck’s is.
I have gone to this Starbuck’s whenever I was on the South Strip, and needed to get a break from the crowds. Even on the Strip, I like to spend some quiet time to myself doing things like reading or writing. In this mood, this is a fitting Starbuck’s. Unlike the majority of Starbuck’s on the Strip that are adjacent to a crowded corridor or casino, this location is absorbed into a court yard. There is sufficient shade and tables. The main sound is the birds chirping away. On the times that I spent here, birds outnumber party people.
On account of the fact that MGM Resorts operates this Starbuck’s, the prices are more inflated than the off-​Strip locations. I believe that a venti Frap exceeds $ 6. Bottle water exceeds $ 4.
I am a fan of this location. It has relatively nothing to do with a caffeinated beverage. It has a lot to do with being a serene place where I can escape the crowds and fast pace of life for a few minutes with a Starbuck’s beverage when I am on the Las Vegas Strip.

Starbucks is my friend when I need that pick me up only coffee can give. The only issue is that Starbucks are not all equal. Different menus and different coffee effects (this one is low in coffee in their drinks and require an extra shot purchase to give the effects of the starbucks in Indy that I frequent.

Non-​stop trivia weekend in Vegas necessitates lots of caffeine. Luckily we found this Starbucks near the suites where we were doing the quiz bowl rounds, rather than having to walk all the way back to the food court.

I love my starbucks! this place was about 40% more than your typical non tourist area.
The lady messed up my cinnamon dolce latte to a vanilla latte! She also messed up on a tall medium blend coffee with a shot of expresso. Come on! its pass 7am and I dont need this. Plus 6 people behind me didnt need this either.
my cinnamon dolce was water down. It didnt taste heavy like it should.
But overall I wont be back to MGM and that means I wont be back at this starbucks!

Tucked away in the MGM Signature hotel, this is a fast way to get your caffeine fix. The prices are a bit higher than what I’m used to… but hey its Vegas! No lines in the morning. If you can go here instead of the Starbucks near the MGM food court.

Expect long lines in the AM but it moves pretty quickly and the staff’s pretty nice here. A few tables for those who prefer to sip their coffees between bites of pastries or bagels. They offer $ 7 breakfast specials — a grande coffee, pastry and fruit or a tall latte with pastry. Lots of pastries to chose from — cinnamon roll, croissant, choc croissant, danish, muffins and bagels and bananas or apple. It’s located on the main casino floor which is a bummer as you have to traverse thru all that cigarette smoke to get to the coffee aroma instead.
