two things…
dude… i’m not going to be a dick… well yeah i am, id on’t give a shit… if you honestly just compared the luxor to the venetian then obviously you’re not a seasoned vegas tourist… the luxor is a fucking dump FYI… i mean sure the golden nugget and shit downtown is garbage, but on the strip, the luxor might be the worst at this rate? being that cirus is gone and i think the sahara is gone?? anyway… venetian is nicer so is every other hotel around lol… i haven’t gone to vegas and paid for my room ever, so i can’t comment on the price.
i guess a ‘vacation’ is different to all people… it’s surprising to me that a vacation to some is only thought of as resorts and made up places… sure cancun is great, until you go a few miles out of the ‘resort’ area… like the peoeple that go to argentina to live it up, but have to shuttle in steel walled busses from site to site because of the ‘real’ argentina…lol… comical.
there are tons of places to go and visit that aren’t a resort…many places i could recommend but since you’re ideas are all pretty much junk to me, i’m guessing my suggestions may appear to be the same (which i can assure you they are not).
go to vegas and have fun, rent a car and drive around…
If you’re in Vegas who the fuck cares what hotel you sleep at? If you wanna goto the Venetian walk there and save $700 on the trip to stay at a cheaper hotel.
Basically what I was getting at by the above post.
