I guess I'm in the minority of loving the Luxor. It's totally over the top but I always have fun there.
There's also the Boardwalk Holiday Inn right on the strip. I've stayed there quite a few times too.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
ND, I've never even been inside the Luxor. I'm so creeped out by the exterior, I've never wanted to go near it.
Every time we've flown into Vegas at night and seen that Big Giant Eye shooting a spotlight straight up? All I've been able to think is "Don't see the fnords! Don't see the fnords!"
It's just too damned Illuminati for me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The Excalibur and The Luxor are where I have won the most money on craps.

And I just got feedback from LV Hilton (I asked why so many hotel were turning us down).
She said it was the amount of lead time. As in, too much. Because it's a weekend and we require less than 100 rooms.
shrug.

I guess tourism in Vegas is a whole different animal from other places.
boggles that it wouldn't be worth a half hour of someone's time to write out prices...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But why give us the rooms on the cheap before they know if they can sell them for more?

I suppose it depends on their average % of capacity.

On a weekend in May, nearly 100%. Even Excalibar wants 109 for Thurs and Fri and 119 for Saturday night. And $30/person/room/night for the meeting space.

I suppose I shouldn't get too involved in the discussion regarding prices - if we pick Vegas I'll almost certainly stay at Luxor rather than the host hotel.
