Dame Edna is not meant to be a drag queen. She's an Aussie Icon It's a legendary Australian Comedian and Dame Edna (From Mooney Ponds, Melbourne) is one of his characters.

Gay or Straight even if I were comped a suite, a meal and the show that I would want to see that guy, he is annoying and awful.

Dame Edna would be funny however, much more so than carrot top (who should be the victim of a ginsu knife commercial).

Luxor has been advertising in gay publications for quite a while. Interesting that they are now using even more targeted marketing.

It also might be random luck. With the prevalence of the gay culture in media that might just happen to be what they're getting and figure the general guest probably wants to see. Carrot Top has been advertised at MGM previous times I've been staying there.

Then again, I don't put anything past Vegas marketing people to slice and dice their lists to target very specific markets.

Carrot Top Gay. Who knew?

Thanks flyertalk for the education!

I remember seeing Carrot Top on TV and being quite startled at how buff he was.

Luxor gets excellent reviews on tripadvisor.com. The only gay resort in Las Vegas, Blue Moon, gets very mixed reviews. For one thing, Blue Moon is in an apparently dicey location.

By the way, here's a wonderful exchange between Peter Marshall and Paul Lynde that I recently got from the Web:

Peter: Tony Randall gave an interview saying that every woman he has been intimate with has been ... what?

Paul: Bitterly disappointed.
