    My curiosity was about Allen. He's worked at Luxor since 1993. From what it appears, he's been working in the buffet as a host the entire time. That's his choice, but that doesn't say much about the promotion potential for working at Luxor.

    Honestly we can't base the promotion potential of Luxor based on one individual. He loves his job and his employer.

    Hey @businessdoubt Thank you for the kind compliment. I truly appreciate it. That’s a common response or comment I get on some of my videos. “It doesn’t look busy.” I promise that the Las Vegas Strip is extremely busy. Resorts World is packed. Bellagio is packed. At night Las Vegas is busy! I purposely choose the quietest time to go there. I usually go down to the strip around 10a. The longer a person is on vacation in Las Vegas their sleep clock is shifted. If you normally get up at 6a, your new wake time in Las Vegas is 6 hours later…or noon. So me going down to the strip at 10a…I’ve got the whole place to myself. Lol I love it that way! Yee haw! Thanks again!

    I think it was actually because of the time that I got there. It was 1130a on, I think, a Tuesday. I started at the Fontainebleau parking lot and the Fontainebleau was empty too. I later that same day after Circus Circus went to Resorts World and it too was dead. I think it’s the time I went and low traffic for the mid-strip properties. When the new Riviera opens, between Fontainebleau and Encore, it will be complete and there will be more traffic. But they still will need to do something to remodel Circus Circus.

    I think the one you know is on Flamingo Rd and I15. Been there many times. That's actually a very long walk from Allegiant Stadium. This one, on Russell Rd, is meant to be like a fixed building to feed the events (Raiders, UNLV, etc) at Allegiant Stadium...not to mention all the traffic on Russell Rd. Also, right across the street is one of the busiest tailgating areas of the stadium. I don’t think there are enough In-N-Outs in Las Vegas. Yummy!

The western wear store is no longer open and around. The land has increased in value 10 times that amount. How in the world did a Pinball place get that kind of money to buy the land and build.
