Absolutely, the most you want to pay for the Luxor is ~$89, unless you need a room when rooms are scarce. Mandalay for $99 is terrific. It's the south end of the strip, but you can take the tram from Mandalay--Luxor--Excalibur, then onward down the strip by foot or bus. (Forget the new train, it's too hard to get to, and too expensive.) I like the Luxor, but not over Mandalay for $99!
