I just read with great interest this couples treatment. Last Dec. my husband and myself were staying at the New York New York and my parents were staying at the Wynn. I had mentioned to my parents that my husband and I would love to see a show with Chris Angel. A few days into our vacation the parents surprised us with a letter from the Wynn saying that we were on the V.I.P. list and had a booked reservation on the corporate guest list. This particular evening my husband and I met up with my father and proceeded to the entrance of the nightclub where upon we were refused entrance because my husband was wearing running shoes (his diabetes and swollen feet were the reason for not being admitted) Excuse me but we were all dressed up and ready to go, after being rebuffed and ignored at the entrance to the Lax we tried talking to a general manager of the Luxor Hotel who agreed with us and said he would have a word with the door man, never in a million years did I think shoes would be a problem with any club after having spent 25 years working at the top of line clubs in Toronto.

Shame on the Luxor, shame on the behavior, and especially the fact that nobody gives a seems to care, that these clubs think they are exclusive, exclusive my arse, they are there to cater to anyone who feels that shelling out over a grand
will get them in to a nightclub that isn't any better, offers nothing that I haven't seen, and it should be known that not only does this shine a negative light on Vegas, but the hotel Luxor, the nightclub, and the simple fact that we would have been happy to have the invite to a so called exclusive birthday party and some jumped up two bit all important doorman felt that running shoes were not acceptable attire, GIVE ME A BREAK.

Not only as vistors several times Las Vegas this experience not only left us unable to understand but has now left a bitter taste in our mouth and it is with much sadness that returning to Vegas would not be worth this kind of mistreatment and outward bias based on age and medical problems.

Shame on the Luxor, shame on the city of Vegas, and shame on the performer Criss Angel, after having spent almost 5000.00 to visit the fair city of Vegas it was like a kick in the teeth.
But I guess tourists really don't matter to the city anymore, and if you are a celebrity then you are golden.

Seems like it is time to consider Atlantic City!!!!
