| - Love this place. Why? Because it's clean, easy to get in and out, and it's not overly crowded. I've stayed here several times throughout the years, and I still enjoy being here. Then again, who could resist staying inside a pyramid?! (Yes, the windows are slanted.)
The room was clean, not dusty, and everything was in order. Housekeeping was on top of it. There was no fridge or microwave in our room but we didn't spring for a suite, as we knew that we'd only sleep in here. Our room was close to everything, so it wasn't an issue. (Yes, the Pyramid Deluxe rooms may need a bit of an upgrade, but the pricing reflects that. And it is still on the Strip.) It's 420 square feet of space, with a table and two chairs for eating, vanity table with mirror, writing desk area, four-drawer chest, a closet with removable ironing board and iron, 40-inch flat screen TV, and a stuffed chair. Bathroom had a decent sized shower, single sink with a large counter, hair dryer, a few toiletries, and a water-efficient toilet.
Hotel lobby clerks = friendly.
Yes, it's on the South end of the Strip, but you want to know something? It's not so damned packed here! If you want to be comfortable and have some semblance of privacy, this is the hotel/casino for you. I'm not saying it's dead here, but it's a bit easier to get around than others.
Gambling. They have high roller rooms, and they have reasonable low limits on some of their tables, and they do have penny slots! (I'm not much of a gambler, so it's important to have options.)
Food court = good. Nathan's, McDonald's, LA Subs, Bonanno's Pizzeria and Starbucks. There are two Starbucks inside the Luxor, including the one in the food court. Smart idea, if they want to keep people gambling away into the wee hours.
Restaurants. We did enjoy TENDER steak & seafood restaurant, and took advantage of Backstage Deli (open 24 hours). Sorry but skipped the buffets here, as the reviews were so mixed.
Pool = a nice place to hang out. C'mon, how could you not appreciate being in a pool/hot tub by a giant black pyramid?! The spa/hot tub is small and limited to 8 people. We were impressed by the amount of islands in the pool. (Concrete islands, that you can stand/sit on or place something on.) Plenty of beach chairs, but it gets scarce when it's busy here. It appears that it's safe enough to leave your stuff here, but I'd suggest not leaving too much valuables out in the open anyway. And you will need a room key for access to the pool, so don't forget it.
Parking = we took advantage of valet, which was free, but you've gotta tip. Just make sure to keep track of the valet ticket, and use the scanner, coming or going. (The first night, the valet person took the scan portion of our ticket...so we made sure to keep track of it after that!) They do have self-parking, too.
As much as I've enjoyed staying here, there are some gripes...
First and foremost, the timeshare people who kept approaching us were annoying. Sorry, but we had no time nor interest in a timeshare presentation, no matter what they were offering as an incentive! We solved that issue by walking apart, and it's high pressure sales by the lobby/main entrance. You were WARNED.
Second, the directory in the room needs to be updated as some of the extensions were not working or misdirected, and they need to post HOURS for their amenities!
Third and lastly, I'm disappointed that the pool closes down at 7 p.m. We would have loved having a few evenings by the pool!
