yacht
Many people have heard Saddam had a taste for luxuries but not many have seen his toys. Today, we have a chance to tour one of his babies, a 270 foot yacht which he sent to the King of Jordan before he went to war with the US. Contrary to reports, the ship doesn't have bullet proof windows, surface to air missiles and other James bonds' toys. However, it's so luxury that its bathrooms' fixtures are gold-plated, the deck is big enough to dock a helicopter, a full-sized bedroom suitable for a dictator.
Are there any mistakes?
Thanks.

Thanks, Clive. One question, Does "other James Bond toys" imply the bullet proof windows, surface to air missiles are also James Bond toys?
Clive, I just looked up in the dictionary and it says both luxury and luxurious are adjectives but I don't understand when to use which. Could you help?
