going to lexx vegas
None, nada, zip. Nothing in Viva Lexx Vegas was filmed in Nevada. Although in a composite shot they did drive past the Barbary Coast Hotel. You might want to ask Micro how that was, since she stayed there during the UScon Lexx Vegas.
I stayed at the MGM Grand, and I do not recommend it. It was nice enough in the rooms, but the hotel itself is too huge, with no good gathering areas, and everything spread from one end to the other. No matter where you go, ask for a room by the elevators, or you will spend a lot of time traipsing down very, very long hallways.
I was impressed by the Luxor though, which I think is what inspired the “King Tut Hotel” in the episode. (They have a King Tut Lounge there) Every thing seemed to be centrally located just an escalator ride away. You might get on the UScon yahoo list and ask Catrice about it. She stayed there the year before, and very much liked it. But what is not to like? A two story pharaoh statue is impressive. I think the Egyptian pharaoh style translates very well into the over the top Las Vegas style.
Oh, one thing I didn’t get to do which I really wanted to do was take in the magic/dinner show at Cesar’s Palace. We (me and the Brit kids) took tour of the area between the magic shows and were most impressed.
