| - It was pretty good at the Luxor!
I was a little worried. The worst thing for me was the elevator. Our elevator was 4a/4b and I could not handle the no-window-moving-on-a-diagonal. The whole elevator situation was a PITA. We ended up on a service elevator at one point, we tried taking another elevator that went to random even floors...all that I would have needed to not be nauseous on every elevator ride at the Luxor would have been a window. It would make the experience so much more enjoyable, being able to see which direction you were moving, having a nice aerial view of the inside of the pyramid.
What was good?
Our room was pretty nice (although I must mention I think I reserved a king, not two queens. I never mentioned it to them so I can't fault them for not changing it, but I think when I booked online I chose 1 king).
The shower was huge (but no tub) in the Pyramid Deluxe room.
TV didn't have a lot of channels but who watches tv there?
The main bar, across from registration (Aurora) had great cocktails for pretty reasonable prices ($10 range).
The cab service from the front door was great and the concierge (is that what you call the guy who gets the cab for you?) was happy and friendly all weekend.
I won about $10 in slots at Luxor.
The casino wasn't super crowded and when I was ousted by a
smoker of my own volition, it was easy to find another comparable group of slots.
I loved being able to catwalk from casino to casino.
What was bad?
The towels were a little small. I would have like to have seen bath sheets instead of towels.
The elevators, maybe if there were stair access points, that would be better. I don't mind taking the stairs (even 12 flights), especially as an alternative to the nauseating elevators.
The gift shop sold stuff that seemed really ghetto and trinket-y. I was going to buy this water bottle until I tried to screw the cap on, it didn't make a tight seal and there was a caribeaner that wouldn't close once it was open. Kinda garbage-y.
OH THOSE ANNOYING PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE THEY WORK FOR THE HOTEL BUT TRY TO SELL YOU GARBAGE SHOWS AND MEALS? That was probably the 2nd worst thing about Luxor but it wasn't exclusive to Luxor.
Luxor seemed like a pretty cool, child-free place. That's what I was looking for and that's what I got. If I go to Vegas again, I would probably stay somewhere else because of the elevator and because I would want to see more of the Strip. But Luxor was okay!
