Luxor seemed alright.\n\nStuck between Excalibur, the hotel I stayed at, and Mandalay Bay, the hotel hosting the conference I was at, Luxor was a good location for me to pass through on my way to someplace else. The same way most people think of my home state, New Jersey.\n\nLuxor is gorgeous outside. The giant pyramid, outlined in lights and sending a beam into the sky at night, with a obelisk and a sphinx standing guard. Inside, it's impressive as well, certainly more so than Excalibur, where I stayed, but I was sad to see the Egyptian theme fall to the background behind the omnipresent glitz and sheen of Vegas.\n\nNice, for what it is, but I prefer the thematic consistency of NY-NY and Paris.\n\nFor whatever reason, I also found Luxor to be the most oppressive, cigarette smoke-wise. I hated how smoking was allowed in all the casinos in Vegas anyway, but most seemed to have better ventilation or less smoking. I still wish there were designated no-smoking gambling areas.\n\nTo be fair, I was starting to get sick the night the smoke bothered me the most, but still, even after that point I didn't find the other casinos as bad as Luxor.\n\nI saw Bodies... The Exposition at Luxor and found it much more interesting and... enjoyable? (odd adjective to choose here) than I expected. Humans have a surprisingly small spleen.\n\nAte at Tender Steak and Seafood, and I'll review that elsewhere.\n\nI dunno. Not too much to say about Luxor, really. I loved that it shared a tram with Mandalay Bay and Excalibur. I wish all the casinos were on a tram. Those places are too far apart.
