LOL. Yeah, we only have seven months!
Actually, I did check out the Luxor site for hints on how much it would cost to eat everyday, so people could plan budgets. Unless people want to do one or two extravagant meals, people should be able to get by easily on $60 day (alcohol not included!). Could probably get away with as little as $40/day.
I also checked on the outlet mall I remembered and the bus that leaves from the MGM for a round trip to the mall. I couldn't recall the name of the mall, but then I acted on a hunch from playing Fallout New Vegas and searched for Primm and there it was! Anyone interested in the trip? It's $25 round-trip on the bus, 45 minutes to, 3 hours at the mall, 45 minutes back. BCBG Maxazria, TOD's, Coach, Ann Taylor, Betsey Johnson, DKNY, Kate Spade, Last Call Neiman Marcus, etc etc etc.
Of course there are clubs clubs clubs for people who want to go dancing. Seems like each hotel has 3-4 clubs, not including the members-only clubs.
Free stuff includes seeing the lion exhibit at the MGM and the volcano eruption at the Mirage and the fountain show at the Bellagio.
The Mirage has the dolphin garden with tickets for $17 per adult (and usually a white tiger in a glass enclosure in the entry, which I find a little disturbing, but I don't really agree with keeping most kinds of animals in capitivity so that's just me).
Cirque du Soleil tickets at the Bellagio run $100-$150 (youch!). Admission to the hotel's art gallery is $15.
And, of course, we haven't decided if we're doing anythin writing related.
And that's just scratching the surface. People also might just want to sit around chatting at the Luxor in the hot tubs or rent a pool cabana for about $250. Or over coffee and wine in the rooms. Whatever. We could break into small groups that do different things during the day and all get together for dinner each night? Then we old folks could go off to bed while the younguns go party, or maybe we party the kids under the table.
It's Vegas. Anything could happen.
