- From the beginning to Grand Garden Arena.
- Yes, all those smells are definitely on purpose. If I remember right, the MGM smells like either money or leather, something like that. Otherwise, I suppose all the casinos would smell like cigarettes and spilled beer. Last time we went to Ft. Lauderdale, I remember a hotel that used the same pina colada smell as the Tropicana.

A trademark feature of any Las Vegas casino is the distinctive scent that immediately assaults your nose as you enter the property. While some visitors find fragrances used on the casino to be offensive, some patrons adore the distinct aroma of their favorite gaming floor.
A psychological tactic, resorts carefully select aromas to support their brand image, mask unpleasant odors, and keep you parked in front of a slot machine longer. In Fact, an early 90’s study by Dr. Alan Hirsch looked at differences in “coin in” or money gambled in a section of a casino using no scent one weekend and then introducing scent the next. The scented area showed a 45.1% increase in money gambled over the previous weekend. Hirsch also had a separate area of the casino floor where no fragrances were used either weekend and coin in was essentially flat. The bottom line is that fragrances make customers more likely to stick around and play for a longer period of time.
Most Vegas regulars have a favorite Las Vegas casino aroma that keeps them coming back. We crave the moment the smell hits our nostrils after being away for months or even years. It can be a nostalgic sensation, immediately reminding you of past trips, big wins, and good times.
We stayed at the MGM Grand last year (first time in Vegas!) and there was something about the way the lobby and hotel smelled that I can't get out of my mind. I know I'm probably just associating the whole Vegas experience with that smell, but I need more of that scent. I lost the lotion and shampoo I took from the hotel. It is a one of a kind smell. MGM is my favorite casino, as soon as I walk in any door I smell that scent and feel like I'm home.
We got to wondering – Is it possible to purchase your favorite casino’s fragrance for use at home? After all, what better way to get over the post-Vegas blues than giving your home the distinctive tropical scent of properties such as Mandalay Bay or Mirage?
