| - The wife and I, decided to get the Spa Suite in the Pyramid of Luxor. I would probably consider Luxor to be a Mid-Class hotel and Casino. Not really the low end of Mid Class, but more of the middle to high end of the mid class hotels. It does have its ups and downs, when staying at the Luxor.
Let start off with the Parking Garage. We really couldn't find Valet, cause the arrows are not up to date on where everything should be. So we found our way to the garage, which, probably seen better days. Then again, Luxor is 15 years and still running, I would probably say, that its better then others that probably been there longer.
When we checked in, the person who checked us in, was very nice and talkative. She liked the fact that, us locals, are taking advantage of the discounts on vacationing in Vegas, just to get away from home. Despite the fact that we have no kids, you can't really pass the opportunity of cheap rooms. Especially the Spa Suite, which is bigger then an average room, that we usually would get at any other hotel in Vegas.
Our room was on the 29th floor. Just one floor shy of being on the very top floor. It was a very nice room size for a mid class hotel. We got the corner of the pyramid, with a king size bed, a spa tub which is close to a slanted windows. It also had a separate living room space, that had its own TV, table and couch. But of course, the down side of it, is a lot of wasted space. Its nice they had everything, but I think, they could of put more in the room, then the basic essentials. They did have a fridge, which was cool, but no mini bar. They did have a closet with an ironing board and blanket, but no extra pillows. The bathroom was nice and big, but again, wasted space, where they could probably put more into it, and not enough lighting in the bathroom. They have lamps by the bed, in the living room, but one overhead light, over the sink of the bathroom, that's not even bright enough to really see how you look in the morning. Not until you put your face, right against the mirror to see how look in the morning. Now, thinking about it, not really sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. The windows to the pyramid needs cleaning on the outside. Mainly opening your curtains and seeing dirt spots from rain streaks, doesn't really make your view of Vegas any prettier.
The first thing we did, was buy tickets to the Titanic exhibit. Of course, its our second time doing that, so I probably won't right another review, but the second time around, we were able to read everything and not fall behind and went at our own pace. We didn't get a tour guide this time around, but I think it was better. But I still love the Titanic the first time around, and always be one of the best attractions to go to, over and over again.
We also got Criss Angel Believe tickets, where I wrote a review about it, and stated that it was an OK show. Criss Angel is a good magician, but his Vegas show Believe, is a copy of his best work from all his show on TV, but in a live version. Wasn't really impressed, cause they took out the Cirque Du Soleil of it, but it was great seeing him live. Just wish he did more to it, and something new, then to recycle his work in a live show.
Room Service for morning breakfast, was kind of pricey, but very well presented. I got the steak and egg, and it smell and tasted great. My wife got the continental breakfast, and she was full, after the fact that we left Luxor that day. So, it was a decent choice for room service, just wish it wasn't pricey.
Over all, I would recommend this place for short stay, just to have a place to rest. If you could afford the Spa Suite, go for it, that Spa tub was awesome. Don't worry about mooning Vegas from your room, cause you probably won't be the first, nor the last. I'm sure no one else will see you if you do. The scenario is decent, where ever you go in Luxor. Just don't expect much when it comes down to amenities. Read my reviews on Titanic Artifact Exhibit and Criss Angel Believe, then you can probably judge, if you want to go see it or not.
