| - We stayed here for the 4 nights leading up to Christmas. Luxor had rooms for less than $50/night when we were booking so we chose to stay here despite reviews. Maybe it's just Vegas (or this hotel) , but I'm used to staying at hotels with free airport shuttles so I wasn't a fan of the fact that they didn't have one. Anyway, I read that it was outdated but didn't think anything of it. But as soon as I walked in, I noticed a very distinct old building/thrift shop/senior complex odor. Older places on the strip, such as Excalibur, Circus Circus, and The Flamingo also had that really annoying smell. I got used to it, but walking into the newer hotels like The Cosmopolitan was like rubbing salt in the wound because the scented air blowing through the vents was heavenly and I didn't want to leave!
The interior does look dated, but it honestly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Believe me, I've seen some ridiculously old hotels and this wasn't too bad. But I will say that someone needs to take care of the walls by the elevator bank on in the main pyramid. They were so obviously peeling off (like literally ready to part ways with the wall) that there's no way the staff didn't notice.
I also would not advise anyone to eat at any of the places here. I had been looking forward to trying Tacos and Tequila, which happened to be closed for the ENTIRE time we were there. We stopped at the McDonald's when we first checked in and I can honestly say it was one of the worst I've ever had. How do you mess up fast food? My grilled chicken sandwich honestly tasted wet and raw and I thought they don't even make it themselves?! The buffet was $35 for an all day pass, but I saw the reviews and didn't even bother...
There was free "wired" internet access in the rooms, meaning that you literally had to plug in an ethernet cord like it was '01. It was fine for my laptop but my sis had no access on her iPad. I have no complaints about the service, as the rooms were clean and the hotel staff was friendly enough and came promptly whenever we called. However, I seriously doubt I'd ever come here again unless it was to see Fantasy. The location is at the beginning of the strip, so we had to hop on the bus just to get to where all of the real action is. It's also cold at this time and I don't like trekking anywhere, so next time I will definitely stay in a more expensive, centrally-located hotel with better restaurants and nightlife (LAX..eek! )
