| - I don't know why or how, but I like and dislike the Luxor.
I mean, it's modern enough, but old at the sametime. It has a lot of amenities, but the last time I stayed there, it was NOT a happenin' place on the strip. It's not as old school as the Sahara (with rooms that smelled like your great uncle lou's ash tray), or as new as the Bellagio or the Wynn. Or the Mandalay Bay, or NY NY, or.... What it does though is strike that equilibrium for people such as myself - those that make enough to not have to stuff 8 people in a room at the Sands, and instead pay a normal double occupancy rate in a hotel, but can't quite spring for the middle of the strip yet.
So what does this mean? You get nice sized rooms and suites for reasonable rates, but you're stuck on the bottom of the Strip (thankfully that tram on the east side isn't too far of a trek through the MGM).
I'd like to be able to go to Vegas at some point, stay at a nice place, like the Venetian or the Bellagio on a peek weekend, and just take a relaxing vacation, gamble a little bit, go catch a couple shows, do some major wardrobe upgrade shopping, and just hang by the pool. Until my Social/Economic situation improves (C'mon LAWSCHOOL!) I'm going to be stuck sleeping here. Which isn't bad, just a little inconvenient.
