Was there 30 years ago, lived there for a couple of years 20 years ago, went back LAST year. NOPE! Nothing there for me, and it’s gone to hell. The Luxor (Pyramid) is an absolute dump. I remember when the only dump on the strip was the Circus Circus, and you KNEW it was, because it was the “Family hotel”. Now, they’re all kinda crappy.
There are casinos where you have to PAY for parking! That was NEVER the case 20-30 years ago. They want you to PARK there, as you might come into the casino and place a bet.
My favorite place to stay was the Golden Nugget. Around 1996 we stayed at the (new then) MGM Grand. The Luxor was close by. I disliked the glitz of the MGM and Luxor; preferred the “homey” places downtown.
Currently living in Vegas. Locals don’t go near the strip. Too many other options...that have free parking. lol Red Rock, Durango Station, Silverton, South Point, and a few others. Used to go to The Orleans because I won there quite a bit but it has turned into a dump. And if you just want to gamble and drink you can do so almost anywhere.
