This was a "staycation" for us; my son wanted to stay here. We arrived at check-in time, 3 pm and I was glad that there was room in Valet this visit. Check in line was long but it moved. Our room was in the pyramid on the 27th floor which required long elevator rides. Room service was just finishing the room and she was very nice. The room was spacious and clean with no strange odors. Nothing fancy but accomodating with what we needed. There were two negatives; no bathtub (just a large shower) and an old fashioned cooling system similar to a fan. It got a tad bit warm in the afternoon in the room with this unit blasting on high. The decor of the rooms is uniquely themed in keeping with a pyramid. The bed was comfortable including the pillows. Our full day there we left the room around 11:30 to find some lunch and 1.5 hours later upon returning our room had been cleaned which was impressive. We got a great price on the room which was offered in an e-mail through some notification program I signed up for. There wasn't a lot for us to do in the hotel since we had already seen Chris Angel but there were in-door walk ways to the Excaliber and Mandalay Bay which was great. We visited the pool once at about 3:30 pm and walked around and around not able to locate seating which was sad. There is nothing special about the pool or the pool area and was a bit shocked the life guards allowed some patrons to throw footballs back and forth in the area we settled in. Had to watch out for this torpedo and almost got hit with it several times. There was a 3rd pool that was less crowded but we were told it is a "paid" pool? My recommendation would be to open that 3rd pool to the hotel patrons and stop being so greedy. The water temperature of the pool was nice. On the walk back to the room I noticed a strange smell on me from the pool water which wasn't pleasant. I didn't notice the pool being dirty or smelling bad? Couldn't shower fast enough. Really, I'm not a big fan of public pools in the first place and probably spoiled by the fact we have our own at home. There did seem to be plenty of lifeguards. The restaurants in the casino are very expensive but there is a food court which is also more expensive than normal. I do recommend their buffet and I'll do a separate review on that. We would more than likely stay here again in the future.
