was a Hungarian immigrant to Clovis, California.

He died in prison in 1996, at the age of 74. was convicted of having made the bomb with a goal of extorting money from the casino after having lost $750,000 there. The total cost of the damage was estimated to be around $18 million. After an attempt to disarm the bomb, it exploded, causing extensive damage to the hotel but no injuries or deaths. The Harvey's Resort Hotel bombing took place on August 26–27, 1980, when several men masquerading as photocopier deliverers planted an elaborately booby trapped bomb containing 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of dynamite at Harvey's Resort Hotel (now 'Harveys') in Stateline, Nevada, United States. It’s also an MGM property as well.Īll just my personal opinions, and either of your original choices are perfectly fine in my opinion.Nevada State Fire Marshal Thomas J. Their pool is better, the casino is more lively, food choices are better. If you’re looking for slightly more upscale from Luxor, check out NYNY, you can get a room roughly the same price point in summertime. Right on the corner of one of busiest intersections on the strip. Still a Caesar’s property and in a better location with easier Monorail access, and the Linq Promenade right outside.

I’d say if you wanted a slightly more upscale property in each area shoot for Flamingo instead of Harrah’s. Harrah’s gaming floor is louder, especially at night with the exterior doors to the strip open.īoth hotels I’d consider lower budget these days. Harrah’s is center strip so you’re right in the middle of it all with easy access. Their location is closer to more attractions I care about, plus closer overall to the airport. Luxor’s pool area is better than Harrah’s IMO. Even with all the noise in the atrium below, you won’t hear anything. Luxor is like a damn vault if you get a Pyramid room. Not only will you hear your neighbors, you’ll hear the party band or the DJ who sets up on occasion in the pool deck area during the summer. Having stayed at both before becoming a resident of Las Vegas I’ll tell you this:
