(I've never stayed at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay. Is it nice?)


I used to like the Luxor when it first opened, but it went waaaay downhill fast. Still, zapppop had never experienced the cool rooms with the slanty window wall. That would have been fun.

(Though he freaked when I took him to the very top of the pyramid and had him look straight down. We had to do all sorts of insider tricks to get up there without being guests, so it was too bad he hated it in the end.)

How did we miss each other?!?! Damn!! I wish we would have bumped into you guys!!

You know, the Mandalay Bay is very nice! The rooms were very spacious & cozy. However, I don't remember much more (Vegas will do that to you ). Oh! They did have a groovy wave pool!

Ooh! I've heard about the slanty walls in the rooms at the Luxor! My Mom loves it there and has shown me pictures of the rooms. Is it a little freaky? It looks way cool! I also remember my brother telling me that there was a little Nile River replica inside the Luxor complete with non-rideable boats. I only remember this because my brother got trashed and hopped inside a boat for a ride. Staring down from the top of the pyramid sounds both scary & cool- I didn't know you could do that!

Doesn't Criss Angel perform at Luxor? I've never seen a magic show in Vegas, but damn he's pretty smokin'. I'd go see him!
