"Largest in the world" claim[edit]

The article stated that "the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (...) was the largest hotel in the world at that time." In 1973, when the first MGM Grand was opened, that title was almost certainly held by the Rossiya Hotel in Moscow, which had been opened six years earlier, in 1967, and had 3,200 rooms, according to the corresponding Wikipedia article. I have corrected that information, but I admittedly lack any more substantiated reference - but then, so did the original claim in this article. It would be a good thing if anyone can add a proper reference (or further correct the information based on it). --UrsoBR (talk) 17:15, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
