| - I stayed here based on a convention, so I had no choice in the matter. After reading the reviews I was apprehensive, but my overall experience was solid. I found no AMAZING aspects to my stay, but I also did not having anything happen that soured me.
The Egyptian theme is cool, there are lots of thematic things to walk around and see. I also found the staff to be friendly. My biggest gripe would be that the place is dated, not horrible, but also not new like a lot of the Vegas hotels. This place is still popular, the check-in line is usually busy, but it moves quick.
I stayed in the East tower which was fine, but getting to the elevators for the first time is a bit of a maze. I did like the gym facilities, the equipment was nice/new, and they had plenty of options. You might as well use it, they charge a 'resort fee' which covers the not really free wifi and the gym. The wifi was adequate, not lighting fast, but acceptable.
I did get a chance to use the pool, which has a fun set up, with a pyramid in the middle which has a waterfall into each pool. This main area has various pools attached, 4 in total I think. If you don't like the pyramid pool area, they have another pool which is quieter and more refined. The pool areas are ideal for families, not the out of control Vegas pool party which some hotels have.
3 stars feels about right.
