| - I don't get why people rave about this place. It was adequate, but it wasn't "upscale" as my friends described it. There were kids everywhere (ugh) and the room was clearly dated (huge gouges on the wall that they didn't even bother to fix but merely glossed over). I had a great view of the strip, but all-in-all, I would compare this hotel room to any of the MGM properties, which is substandard (especially if you have stayed in nicer places). I do love some of the restaurants here (Red Square being my favorite), and the pool area is cool, but insanely crowded. I liked the spa a lot (a pleasant surprise). I probably wouldn't stay here again unless they sent me a really, really good offer (and I had a free night, as it was . . . paid for two with the third free). I think the new lounges in Luxor are starting to make this property look and feel a little dated to me. Not that I want to stay at any MGM property, really, but I don't mind playing at them at all (i.e. drinking). Oh yeah, and I won 90 bucks on a Village People penny slot machine. One more thing: there were lines of people to get to the elevators. It was insane. I don't think the MGM hotel plan (cram as many rooms as you can into weird hallways and elevator banks) is all that good. That said, I was lucky my room was so close to the elevator.
