I've been making an annual trip to Vegas for about the past 20 years (I keep trying to figure out what it is that \"happens in Vegas\"...so far, no idea :-). I have been thru the Luxor previously, and had even briefly (uh-hum) seen the inside of one of their Pyramid Rooms until last week, when I actually stayed in one. I will say that the rooms are \"cool\", with their sloping windows, huge atrium (that you walked across to get to/from the \"inclinators\" which are now just called \"elevators\"). My room had a view over the pool area, a comfortable bed, an older style wall a/c unit that kept my room comfortable, and a shower but no bathtub. The shower was nice and big, but the bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel kept sliding off the soap dish onto the floor, so I ended up just leaving them on the floor!\n\nAll in all, I was satisfied with my room, even without a refridgerator in it! However, in the morning, I was awaked to the sound of hammering and sawing taking place, apparently a couple of floors above the room I was staying in (on the 13th floor). The construction noise persisted, so I called the front desk who were very accommodating and arranged for me to move to one of their tower rooms. The tower room was great, had an awesome view of the Excaliber Hotel next door (I felt like I was living in a fairytale)! I really liked how the Luxor is connected to Mandalay Bay to the South, and to Excaliber to the North, with moving walkways and various shops/restaurants/bars all along the way. I got plenty of cardio in, and got to sample some alcohol at Minus 5, and some Krispy Kreme doughnuts an the food court area of Excalibur. What shocked me the most was seeing the lines of people at McDonalds (in the Luxor & Excalibur)! Really people, you go to Vegas and line up to eat at McDonalds???\n\nAnyway, the Luxor is a cool hotel, true it's not the newest hotel on the strip, but they are renovating the rooms in the Pyramid, and my room in the West Tower was great. Only odd thing, the bathroom had a jacuzzi tub (which I was excited to try out), but I discovered that the hotel had disabled all of the jacuzzi tubs in the resort. Nobody would tell me why, I'm guessing the reason might be \"shocking\"!
