Luxor, TI or...?

Hey everyone,





I am planning on doing a family trip to Las Vegas with my two daughters (18 and 23) this October. Looking for a resort with excellent spa, nightlife and preferably with a theme. Not particularly interested in Excalibur or Caesar%26#39;s, what is the best for rooms, value, entertainment, spa, etc.?







Thanks,



Michael



Luxor, TI or...?


I%26#39;ve heard that the Spa at TI isn%26#39;t that great. Haven%26#39;t heard anything on the Luxor%26#39;s. Luxor does have a lot of nightlife now, from the new bars (Flight and Liquidity) and their new nightclub LAX. Staying at Luxor gives you easy access to NYNY (which I heard they just opened a new club there called RokVegas) and MGM Grand has Studio 54.





TI is more centrally located though and both hotels are in the process of re-doing their rooms. (I think TI is finished with theirs....Luxor%26#39;s are still undergoing renovation from what I hear).

I can understand not wanting to go to Excalibur, but what is wrong with Caesars? As fas as theme hotels go Caesars is my favorite. The location, shopping and nightlife are really good in this area of the strip. The rooms are a good size as well.





You have Luxor in your title, I was not happy with my stay at this location. Fine to visit the casino, but the rooms are not nice. Plus the location is OK at best.





Sticking with a theme, Paris is not too expensive.








I say TI over Luxor. If your interested in Spa services, try Mandalay Bay or maybe the Wynn. Luxor is not getting good reviews as of lately. You could also look into the MGM.




Hey there,





Recently went to Europe and Mediterranean with my girls so was more interested in egyptian/asian/castle type themes for them. Great pool scene is not important for us. Any ideas?




Luxor is great value on the strip, but I don%26#39;t know about the spa. The Tower rooms are newly renovated and nicer than the Pyramid rooms. The LAX Club is great. You do know that the legal age there is 21, not 18? It costs $30.00 cover and then $9 - $15 a drink.





I have been to spa at Planet Hollywood and it%26#39;s very nice. I got a facial and massage and was very happy with the service. The resort itself is new and very nice. The location is perfect.




Thanks for your response,





Yes I%26#39;m aware of drinking age thanks :)



The girls are most interested in shopping nearby, a good social scene and an interesting atmosphere for them to hang out in. Sounds like the Luxor will be great for us, the rooms sound basic from what we read but we don%26#39;t plan on spending time in the room no matter where we go so as long as the bed is relatively comfortable that%26#39;s fine. Thanks again everyone!




Luxor or Mandalay Bay would be my choices. If you stay at Luxor, try to get a room in the tower. I think your daughters will like the Shoppes at Mandalay Bay (between Luxor and MB). MB also has new rooms and the best pool in Vegas. It%26#39;s pricier than Luxor (and October can be one of the more expensive times to go), but still a good value.
