LAS VEGAS " For the second consecutive year, AAA has awarded SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand and Jol Robuchon the highly coveted Five Diamond Award, an accolade that recognizes these establishments among the worlds most elite hotels and restaurants.
The AAA Five Diamond Award is a wonderful compliment for two of our newer offerings, said MGM Grand President & COO Gamal Aziz. For SKYLOFTS and Jol Robuchon to once again earn this distinction reflects MGM Grands ongoing commitment to delivering superior products and experiences to our guests.
For 2008, AAA evaluated nearly 60,000 hotels and dining establishments across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean throughout a 12-month period. Of those, only 100 resorts and 60 restaurants earned the esteemed AAA Five Diamond designation.

Named Chef of the Century along with scores of other accolades and honors, Chef Jol Robuchon presents unparalleled cuisine in a stunning setting. In a city which has become known as a world-class dining destination, Jol Robuchon stands out among the best as one of only four Five Diamond restaurant award winners.
Chef Jol Robuchon said, We are honored to receive this prestigious award for a second year. Each and every day we work to achieve the very best and this award lets us know we are accomplishing our goal.
Hotels and restaurants must meet a list of stringent criteria evaluated by AAA trained professionals to receive the AAA Five Diamond Award. AAA experts judge lodgings on the exterior of the facility, public areas, guest rooms, amenities and bathrooms. Restaurants are evaluated on criteria including food, service, dcor and ambience.
