| - Net: had no problems
Had a room in the pyramid, but on a low floor so there wasn't much slant to the walls. Room was clean, housekeeping was fine. They accommodated my special towel request. Rooms are a little beat-up, but who cares because you're only there to sleep. Note the rooms lack refrigerators, microwaves, even coffee makers. They do have irons and hair dryers. Also note the elevators are miles away from the lobby. The lobby seems small when the hotel is bustling and there's a big line for check-in or check-out.
Get an M-Life card so you get rewards credit (such as it is) for all your purchases at any MGM hotel. Note that having this card doesn't entitle you to use the shorter MLife check-line; that's only for those who reserved something in the casino (or maybe the high rollers.)
Oddity is that charging meals and purchases to your room is not the default and requires a little extra effort.
All restaurants in Vegas are pricey, deal with it. Within the Luxor, the Cafe is decent, the Rice is good, the Taco & Tequila is very good. The buffet is, well, a buffet.
Plus, the hotel is connected to the Mandalay Bay and the Excalibur, which expands your restaurant and shopping choices.
I was impressed that the clerk in one of the stores went out of her way to contact the other (same owner) stores in the hotel to get us another article of clothing in order to get the sale price. All the staff was courteous.
We went to the Titanic exhibit and found it more interesting than we had thought it would be.
Hotel has the usual stuff on tv to check your bill, express check-out, etc., but nobody tells you this and it's not written anywhere.
Also note there seem to be 2 free wi-fi's. The one you have to sign in to is fast, the other one is worthless.
Pool chaises fill up quickly after the 9am opening.
