| - This hotel is kind of a mixed bag. The key attributes it has going for it are low room rates, decent rooms, and all of the desirable amenities included under a very low daily resort fee. The problem is that the staff are not very friendly or accommodating at this hotel, and there is not much cleaning up after the less than considerate guests who jump on those low room rates for a stay in Vegas. Sigh.
I would say I was pretty happy with the quality of my bed. The room itself had no circulation though, and the air conditioner worked so efficiently that after five minutes of turning it on, it felt like a tundra. There was no way to sleep through the night without shivering or waking up with a dry throat. There was no balance at all. The resort fee included free high speed internet which had a fairly good download speed. It also includes a free daily paper, but don't expect them to deliver it to your door. You have to go downstairs and ask for it, show ID, and maybe even be given a dirty look to get it. The fitness center was beautiful with a wonderful range of current machines allowing me to do a full cardio/strength training workout. Unfortunately the staff at the fitness center were not just unfriendly but rather rude (accusing me of not wearing shoes when I was for example and then having to show them my Brooks running shoes on my feet). Also, the narrow hours that the fitness center was open (they close at 8pm) made it difficult to use. The resort fee also includes phone calls, but they don't advertise that either; you just figure it out for yourself after a few days. Security was pretty tight at the hotel in a way that it is not at the nearby Paris for example. This went beyond looking out for the welfare of the guests to the point of being annoying.
If only they showed the same zeal in keeping their common spaces tidy. There is nothing more disgusting than walking into an elevator to your room and seeing it littered with spent cups and napkins. Gross. My recommendation, stay elsewhere. At this price point, the Luxor is a much better deal.
