Once upon a time, the Luxor was pretty nice. Back in like 2001. Sadly, it is showing its age and even worse, the current owners seem to be picking away at the Egyptian theme and mixing in more "hip" things, like the LAX nightclub. It doesn't work. Grafting more modern things onto the Egyptian architecture looks totally cheesy and desperate. As for the room, the AC was rattling and wheezing like an old smoker on a binge. We also had a broken hairdryer but it was promptly replaced. Our room was fine, otherwise. The pool was great, we bought the day pass into the private area, which was worth it--as the big pool was filled with drunken douchebags and their guid-ettes. All the cool little shops in the Bazaar are closed--there used to be some nice ones. Now there are just some tatty little souvenir kiosks. Next time, I will stay elsewhere.
PS 1998 called and wants its wired internet back. Why are we charged a "resort fee" that includes WIRED internet? Who uses that anymore?
