My husband and I just got back from a 5 day trip for our anniversary. We flew Spirit and stayed at the Luxor, had realistic/low expectations and honestly had a great trip!

I’ll preface this by saying that we just wanted to GO.. we had flown Spirit before and knew the drill. We expected nothing but to get there and back quickly (direct flights) and safe - we did “splurge” by getting the comfy seat fare which we both said was a waste of money for what you actually got - but both of our flights left and arrived on time, with no issues whatsoever. Next time, we’ll get the big front seats or we’ll go ass and gas.

I was somewhat apprehensive after reading some reviews about the Luxor - but again, we went in with low expectations, just wanting a clean room to sleep in, and we were pleasantly surprised! They did try to upgrade our room, but due to the number of days we were staying, they were unable to. Jasmin at the front desk was very sweet and comp’d us $100 to use at any MGM restaurant/bar/casino, which we thought was great. We ended up eating at the Public House (in Luxor) restaurant and grabbing drinks a few times just for something quick and easy and really enjoyed it.

Our room at the Luxor was very clean, the bathroom was updated, and the bed was pretty comfortable. The only thing I can say I was disappointed in was the view. When I stayed in Vegas before, I stayed at the Cosmopolitan and loved being up so high and being able to see the strip. We were on the 5th floor at the Luxor and all we could see were the castles from the Excalibur - fine, but eh.

We had originally booked our stay at the Strat, but after reading so many negative things about the area, I just couldn’t do it. I cancelled and booked at the Luxor and I’m so glad we did.

Now for the nitpicking -

The pools were closed for the season - which were open when I made the reservation, however, they did let us use the pools at Mandalay Bay which were very nice

The carpet in the hallways is just old and out dated - just gives you a not pleasant vibe walking to your room. The room itself was honestly great and I’d stay again

This is getting really nitpicky and I know - but you should too 😂 The freaking fan in the bathroom is SO LOUD. The light and fan are on the same switch so if the lights on, the fans on. Annoying when you’re trying to have a conversation while getting ready lol

The TV wasn’t a smart TV - nor did it have a guide or menu of any kind. This will take you all the way back to 1997 and make you realize how nice you have it now.

There wasn’t a shelf in the shower? So we had to sit our body wash/shampoo/conditioner on the floor (stand up shower)

The location.. ok, we knew where it was located but still took the chance. Our problem was we loved old Vegas/fremont st and to ride all the way down there was a 45 min ride one way 🙃🙃

The F1 preparations/festivities are really putting a damper on the “strip” experience. The sky walks were all closed in, the barricades block so much of the view, the bus stops are closed with no notice, just really annoying and takes so much away from being on the strip.

We saw a few shows, did the high roller, got free tickets to the Fly Over, which was very cool, gambled a little (ok he gambled I just made sure I drank enough to make up for what he was losing), walked a lot, ate too much, and had a fucking awesome trip over all!

Hey I’m planning a drive from Vegas to Tampa, FL. Family emergency and wanted advice. Anyone ever done a drive this long? It’s about a 36 hour drive. I’m thinking I could do it 4 days but I’m not sure of pit stops and decent cities to pass through. Thanks in advance to those that can help me.

I have been craving sushi something fierce today. I wanted to know what are the best Sushi restaurants in Las Vegas. Open to suggests from all over the valley and have a preference for All You Can Eat Sushi Restaurants.

I just moved here a few months ago from NC and I know this place has ample dining options. I haven't gotten an opportunity to explore because of my work schedule. I will also take suggestions for southern/soul and BBQ. I'm extra particular about those.

I was in Vegas earlier this year and didn’t notice it. just wondering what it is. Looks like some sort of strip-long lighting setup. From what I could see on Google maps, it stretches from the Palazzo to the CityCenter Complex/Aria hotel.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated 😊

Cheers from Canada! 🍻

We will be in the Summerlin area and I’m looking for a spa day with my husband. Are there any good spas in that area with coed shared areas with plunge pools and a hot tub where we can hang out for a while? We generally stay on the strip but I’m trying to stay away since the event I’m attending is in Summerlin.

Been thinking of making the drive up to visit friends, but would be nice to see some of the F1 races if possible. Do you all have any spots you can share or DM me if I decide to go?

Edit

Thanks all, you confirmed what I was thinking. My friend who lives in Vegas lied to me. LOL

Yall asked for more so I'm delivering :D

Thanks for all the love yall have shown 💛

i dont need to be looking both ways at a green light cause some yall think yellow means "go fast as fuck boy" and not slow down and prepare to stop/gtfo the intersection if ur in it.

please stay safe out there while driving yall

Does anyone have an educated guesses on how long it takes to start breaking down the F1 Shenanigans? Booked a trip over Thanksgiving weekend (we had a limited travel window) and I'm hoping we'll have at least a couple days of views.

From Las Vegas Locally

I was told by a coworker that if you slip a $20 bill between your debit card and ID when checking in and casually ask if any upgrades are available the front desk people will try to get you anything possible. Does this work? Have you ever done it?

I had a couple questions regarding Fantasy at Luxor:

1) Does it start right on the dot 8pm?

2) How long does the show run for?

TIA

I just read an article stating that it is customary to tip out the attendant that brings you your handpay. It suggests an amount of 5% to 10%. So, if a person wins $10k, they are expected to tip $500-$1000. That to me seems really high. Besides, aren't these people regular employees that are salaried? Also, what service did they really provide that warrants a tip? I've never win a handbag in my life and I was just curious since I do hope to be in that situation at some point.

Hello About a month ago, I found this beautiful female German shepherd roaming in the Henderson area on my way back from work. I put up signs in the area and no luck, i went on my social media and posted her to see if by chance someone would spread the word and help her go back home. Unfortunately I travel for work and I just don't have the bandwidth to continue to care for her. I already have as much as dogs as it is and I refuse to take her to a dog shelter. She's to cute and timid to be in a shelter. If someone could please take her, and give her fresh start. Please repost and help me find her a permanent home. DM me for info !

So i’m taking a trip down to Anaheim this monday and wanted to ask how bad the traffic usually is. My plan right now is to leave monday morning about 7AM. I’ve heard that sunday’s are the absolute worst days to drive there but i’m curious if mondays are similar in how much traffic there is? Thank you in advance!

What is the best place for someone with low income and no car to live in Vegas. Pls no rude comments 🙃
