Almost 40 million people visit Vegas every year and they stay in one of the 150,000 Las Vegas hotel rooms available. Yet, even with so many options, many return guests prefer to stay in one of the two top hotels, the MGM Grand and the Luxor. In fact, the popularity of the two has caused more than one person to argue the merits of his or her annual favorite, and with very similar and luxurious amenities, it is tough to choose.

The MGM Hotel Las Vegas has so many activities to keep visitors entertained, even when not gambling. Their pool complex boasts five pools featuring bridges, waterfalls, fountains, and the Wet Republic for the 21 and over crowd. A nightclub for the daylight hours, this saltwater pool is a very popular attraction, featuring VIP bungalows, party cabanas and oversize chaise lounges. This hotel extraordinaire is also home to Cirque du Soliel, CSI Experience, a 60-­‐90 minutes hands-­‐on crime-­‐solving event, and two chic nightclubs, Tabu Ultra Lounge and Studio 54.

On the other hand, Luxor Hotel Las Vegas has seven themed nightclubs including LAX Nightclub, The Cathouse, Aurora, Liquidity, Flight, The High Bar and Playbar. Additional entertainment at this popular vacation spot includes Criss Angel Believe, hosted by the #1 magician in the world, Menopause the Musical, and stand-­‐up by comedian Carrot Top. Guests and locals alike can beat the summer heat at one of the four pools offered by the Luxor complete with cabanas, VIP seating, daybeds, a buffet, and a retail store.

Both the MGM and Luxor hotels provide a variety of activities for their valued guests. Whether gambling, lounging poolside, solving crimes or dancing the night away, both are sure to please every member of the family and guarantee vacation nirvana.
