The girl at check in was really sweet. In fact everyone was nice. This hotel is pretty posh. It's not dingy and smoky. If you stay here parking is not free, I'd still stay all the same. I don't know why ppl would be scared to stay here, the shooter is dead plus nobody hits the same place twice for terroristic attacks. getting to and from Luxor is a breeze. Moving to ballys from mandalay was hard. I really enjoyed staying here.
