MGM Resorts Visitors See Delayed Check-Ins Due to Las Vegas Computer Glitch

Guests at several Las Vegas MGM Resorts International hotel casinos found themselves waiting for hours to check into rooms on Tuesday afternoon.

Due to a computer glitch, the delays were seen at New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Excalibur Hotel & Casino, and the Luxor Hotel & Casino, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.

Self-service options were no help. Computer-based self-registration systems at the Las Vegas Strip properties were on the blink at the same time.

Waits of Up to Three Hours

Visitors trying to register at the front desk at New York-New York were waiting for as long as about three hours to get their room key and hand over their ID and credit card.

Texas resident Tim Grant had made it only about halfway to the registration desk as he stood in line for hours.

I started down there,” Grant pointed to yards away from where he was standing when interviewed by a KLAS reporter.

But Grant was pleased the hotel staff gave those in line bottles of water and vouchers. He appreciated the customer service at New York New York.

“Nobody wants to wait in line but everyone is doing what they can,” Grant said.

“Someone said it’ll take four hours,” he said. “If there is nothing IT can do to help, I get that, but they need to be walking around explaining what’s going on.”

Relatives Went to Pool

Conaway’s relatives had no interest in standing in line with him and instead decided to go for a swim on a hot day.

“I’ll enjoy the line while they are at the pool,” Conway said.

At the Luxor, there was about an hour’s wait to check in.

They had some kind of computer issue,” an unnamed guest revealed to KLAS.

As the evening continued into nightfall, the lines went back to normal at the hotels.

The company didn’t explain what caused the longer lines, according to Las Vegas TV station KTNV.
