+1 on skip the Luxor... but I'm also a cheap *ick and lo-ball on the room.

Might I suggest one block off the strip you get a much nicer room for the same price.

We got the concert/room package at the Palms (around $350), very swanky, new high-rise, flat screen, marble/granite bathroom, Bose clock radio, spectacular view of the strip.

I will also add Palace Station has nice rooms at the price of the resort fee of the high end joints... for that matter check out all the "Station" properties...

Then there is Fremont street... if you want to park the car fro a couple days and stumble around the chaos it is hard to beat.
