OK, so we have our holiday to SoCal booked for next July/August and will be staying at the Sheraton Park, Anaheim for our entire 3 weeks. However, we REALLY want to do Vegas (there's a helicopter tour over the strip at night advertised in the Virgin Holidays brochure which looks amazing - and is unbelievably priced!) so are considering booking a night at a hotel and driving over there EARLY one morning (6/7am?), staying that night and then leaving around 6/7pm the following day. We don't want to see everything (obviously we wouldn't be able to even if we did) Vegas has to offer... just want to visit a few of the bigger hotels, do some shopping and take in the atmosphere really. No shows or attractions.
We're looking at staying at the Luxor but have read several bad reviews on it and are wondering whether it'd be a good decision? Considering we're only staying one night, would anyone suggest we stay at another hotel to make the most of our time in Vegas? As I say, the rest of the holiday is already booked therefore we'll be losing a night at the Sheraton back in Anaheim so don't really want to stay at one of the more luxurious/expensive hotels. The prices at the Luxor seem very reasonable.
I reckon we'll have around 5 or so hours the first afternoon (heli tour in the evening) and then practically the entire day on the day we'll be leaving. Does what we want to do sound doable? How quick can you tour the hotels on the strip?
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!
