Hi. This is the first time I have posted on this thread.

I am going to the Luxor from the 15th to 22nd May for my son's wedding which is taking place there on the 20th.
The trip has been booked since August but due to setting up a new business I am only just getting organised for the trip.
However yesterday & today I have been looking at reviews on Expedia etc & the Luxor is getting really bad reviews with regards to cleanliness of rooms, bedding, surly staff etc.
Should I be worried?
I wouldn't think twice of complaining but I don't want my son & future daughter in law's stay & wedding to be spoilt.

Thanks
Donna

We stayed in a pyramid deluxe room 3 years ago and my OH and I thought it was really nice, we had 2 king beds in the room and the bathroom was fine. We don't remember having any problems with the cleanliness of the room.staff etc. That was our first time to Vegas and we feel it was quite a suitable hotel.

has anyone tried the $20 trick at caesars palace? will be staying there and really tempted to try it out!

yep last year and it worked brilliantly . Got a Augustus tower room from a Classic room booking. beware the Classic rooms though as they get very poor reviews so might be better idea to book a different tower then try to get into the Augustus Tower.

Augustus Tower is brilliant BTW .

Hi all

I will be taking the missus to vegas for her birthday at the begining of May.
Would really like to take her on a helicopter flight to the canyon.

Can anyone tell me if it's cheaper to book it while here in the uk or wait till we get to vegas.

Many Thanks

possibly but not guaranteed . if you want to fly from McCarren you are limited to a few companys ( see first page for links) . if you are prepared to fly from nearer the Canyon you can get cheaper flights .

finding operators is pretty easy , so i would not worry about booking when you get there.

We leave at 6.40am from Aberdeen to Heathrow, 10.55am to LAX then 4.40pm to LAS. If the flights are on time we will have been up 24 hours when we check in.

Staying at Paris, MGM Grand, IP, Encore and MGM Signature.
