| - The Experience:
My very first time staying in a pyramid! (and probably the only way I will ever stay in a pyriamid) Decided to give this place a shot when I received a discount offer for my birthday. We came here in January and were welcomed by a pretty long line to check in but lucky for us, it moved pretty quick. There is a Starbucks near by that you can grab a drink to do yourself a favor and get ready for the night while waiting in line. The desk clerk that helped me out was really nice and noticed that I was celebrating my birthday late. We had a nice conversation about that and the holidays. She was very helpful and even offered to upgrade my room, free of charge! That definitely was a nice gesture and gave this place a huge bonus. Made me feel very welcome and excited for my weekend stay at Luxor. As she provided me the keys for the room, she explained that it's a bit tricky at times to find your room being that there is two sides of the pyramid so make sure you are on the West or East Wing or else you might be stuck walking around lost. The desk clerk also provided me a coupon book that came with my room and the birthday deal. Unfortunately there was only one coupon I really used (Rice and Company), which wasn't a bad deal.
The Room: We were upgraded to the Player's Deluxe room. Walking in, it is very clean, spacious and has a nice comfy love seat to chill at if you wish. The bed is comfortable, the stand alone glass door shower was also spotless and pretty spacious. There is a tub next to it. Near the bed there is a wet bar and a small mini empty fridge to keep a few drinks cold during your stay. The tv was alright, flat screen and worked decent. Great room to stay at. Noise level from the outside though does seem to travel in (from the hallways). We had a few loud morning people on one of the days but nothing that lasted too long. It did wake me up though. The only downside about this room is their Wolfgang Puck Coffee. I thought it was gonna be a great perk to have but honestly, not sure if the coffee maker wasn't working or what because it was a huge nasty mess that went down the drain.
Casino: There is plenty of slots and tables. I was lucky enough that weekend to come back with more than I had taken. Some of the dealers are friendly while some are pretty snobby. There is a good amount of waitresses walking around and it doesn't take too long for you to get your drink. One thing that bothered me though about being downstairs in this casino were the people trying to get you to sign up for time shares and what not. If you are a couple, they will aim at you for sure! Just walk away from them and don't get sucked in with their free show offers. Once you hear the catch and you decline, they rudely turn you away.
Customer service: 10/10
Player's Deluxe room: 8/10
Decorations around the hotel: very neat and interesting! 10/10
Casino: 7/10
Over all: 8/10
Wouldn't mind coming back and staying here again, especially since the service and the rooms were great. Only thing is that it is at the beg/end of the strip (depending where you're coming from) towards Mandalay Bay and THE Hotel. It is a little further than I wish it would be but at least you get a few walking steps in your day which we all need after eating a buffet.
