    To each their own. Its just always been one of the cheapest options and the location sucks. Stayed their one night and wasn't impressed.

    No. But I like the location more. Its one of the cheaper options too. If I just want a room its my go-to since i rarely stay in my room.

    You guys keep saying it’s cheap? It’s like twice the cost of the Mirage?
    Making me feel pretty cheap.

    Must have been an event there. Strat is usually one of the cheapest places to stay.

    That’s exactly why I go for the cheapest I can get.
    I’m never in there. Seriously I sleep like 3-4 hours a day in Vegas and that might be in two shifts.

    Luxor is great value for the buck!

    You have to stay once in a pyramid corner suite. It's a funky two-room minisuite. The inclinators (the elevators are inclined and go up the sides of the pyramid) are trippy. (Look on MGM's website for a cheap rate for the pyramid corner suite.) The rooms in the tower (not in the pyramid) are very big and nice for the price.

    If you're a MyVegas player the BOGO for the buffet is a cheap and good option for breakfast. Or go about 11am when lunch is fresh and make it brunch. Also get the BOGO or the free pass for the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, which includes a free pass to their pools.

    Make sure you charge that to your room. It will help boost the offers you get from all the MGM resorts.

    Given the state of the Knicks, I bet Kingspeed is more famous than anyone on their summer league team.

    A few years ago I was waking through the casino rocking a Van Excel blazers jersey and JR Smith was looking at it while playing craps
