Context: the writer is talking about going to a cinema that has just opened
near her house.

> 朝早く行くと、貸し切り状態なんていう時もあるのでテンションが上がります！ ただ…朝早く観に行く時は確実に徹夜明けなんですけどね（笑）最高の **贅沢**
> です♡

Why is going to the cinema early in the morning after staying up all night a
luxury? Does 贅沢 have a different nuance here? Thank you for your help!

question
translation words nuances
What is the meaning of 贅沢 in this sentence?
The translation of 贅沢 as _luxury_ is not wide off the mark, but it's not
accurate either. Sad to say, that's what you get from a Japanese-English
dictionary.

If you look it up in a Japanese dictionary, say, the default dictionary
provided by Mac OSX (スーパー大辞林), you get different meanings. The first one of
them is "必要以上の金や物を使うこと（さま）", things like using money or good that is more than
necessary. I think this meaning would fit to the context mentioned above. The
second meaning given by the dictionary indeed corresponds to the English
_luxury_ , "金・労力などを多くかけていること（さま）". You may need to consider the context to
determine which sense is used.

answer
This 贅沢 means a luxury experience, and it seems to refer to watching the movie
in the large theater alone as if she had rent the whole room.

As you suspect, the order of the sentences is a bit unnatural, and 贅沢です could
have come right after the first sentence.
