| - We always have a good time whenever we hit the Luxor! Before, when it was still called 'Ra' it was crowded, it was fun, and there was always someone new to meet.
My girls and I unknowingly planned our trip to Las Vegas for Memorial Day weekend. I say unknowingly because I know better than to go to Las Vegas during a holiday weekend. Too many people (I just don't do big crowds), too many drunks, and clubs become too expensive. However, it wasn't my birthday and that weekend worked so we went.
We hit LAX the last night of our stay in Vegas (Sunday night). We got scammed by some dude selling club passes on the strip (in front of Caesar's, don't give him your money) so we knew it would a rough night of clubbing ahead of us. We decided to just go for it and headed to the Luxor. We weren't on a list, we didn't have passes, we were doing it 'the regular way' which I haven't done since I first started clubbing (about 10 years ago). We expected the cover to be insane, especially when we discovered that Ginuwine was performing (don't judge me, I still love Ginuwine). We were told that the cover was $20, but we could expect to pay more by the time we got to the door. Totally understandable, this is Vegas, the goal is to make money.
We got to the door in record time (less than an hour of waiting in line, score!), and we only paid $30 to get in. I look at this as a bargain because it was a holiday weekend, other clubs were charging much more and there was a performance that night.
The only real problem we had was that the club was so packed. It was really hard to finish my drink without spilling it on myself (thanks to the thousands of people milling back and forth bumping in to me). After Ginuwine performed a lot of people left so it was easier to dance. Easier, not easy. It was still super packed, no real dancing could be done and getting off the dance floor was very tricky.
Over all, we had a great time; the Luxor never disappoints me. It's always an adventure when we roll through the Luxor.
