I did some little research and Luxor happens to be the only casino that fits my budget in terms of bankroll but also the concensus here is that it's one of the worst rooms.

I haven't played at Luxor, but just from the pictures on allvegaspoker it looks reasonable enough. It spreads a 1/2nl game with a $50 max buy-in, while most 1/2nl games have a $200 max buy-in (some are even higher). The small buy-in means the game is much less profitable for experienced players, so most if not all of the players will be very inexperienced. As such, it's a good place for you to start out and play a session or two to get your feet wet.

After that, I would suggest moving to one of the bigger/nicer rooms. I like the Venetian a lot, but there are also nice rooms at Caesar's, MGM, Wynn and Bellagio. Every room will have plenty of 1/2nl tables, so try em all.

Since you only have $1000, I would suggest buying in for only $100 at a time. As you gain experience and skill and grow your bankroll some, you will want to buy-in for a full stack to maximize your profit potential.

Be sure to read the strategy forums for how to beat the games; 1/2nl is full of terrible players and it's not hard to turn a profit.

Hope that helps.
