Oh, Luxor......where do I begin? \n\nI'll start with the good things. Of which there are few. \n\nPros:\nCheck in was relatively fast considering we got in friday night around 9pm. \n\nHad a tower room, 10240, and was pleasantly surprised! There was a brand new, large flat screen TV which I was not expecting. The Ethernet cable was very long and stretched all the way to the bed, which was a must since we brought our laptop. Shower was great, as was the deep bathtub. We had two queen beds, one for sleeping and one for piling all of our souvenirs on lol. The bed was COMFY!! It was hard coming back to my cheap, firm bed. \n\nEven tho we were in a tower room, the walk to the Excalibur walkway was only about ten minutes or so, not too bad. \n\nAnd that is where the pro's end. \n\nCons:\n\nI knew to expect a Resort Fee, but it was still ridiculous to pay $17 per person, per night for access to the fitness room (which we never used), local paper (which we never got) and internet. The pool was closed so that was pointless. So we basically paid almost forty dollars a day to use the internet. Blah.\n\nOur television didn't work when we first checked in. Now, I understand when you go to vegas, the last thing you plan on doing is watching TV. But my boyfriend and I like to wind down our day by laying in bed and watching television, so this was dissapointing. We called and while we were out, they brought a new remote control to our room, thinking this was the problem. Well, whoever brought it didn't check to make sure it worked, and it didn't. Turned out there was a problem with the TV and a technician had to come fix it the next day. Boo.\n\nOn our third night, we heard SCREAMING coming from the hallway. We listened at the door and could tell something bad was happening. I called security and they asked if it sounded like people having fun. Um, no, this is Vegas and I wouldn't call if I heard people having a good time! Ten minutes later, a woman was still screaming bloody murder, and I could here people scuffling and being thrown against the wall. I called yet again and they said someone would be up. Another ten minutes later, security finally arrived. A woman had been beaten buy her husband and there was blood all over the floor. Why it took TWENTY MINUTES to get security up there is beyond me, and very disappointing. \n\nOn our last full day, we had to online check in for our flight and print our boarding passes. We called the front desk and they directed us to concierge. Well, when we got down there, we were told ALL of the printers were down and wouldn't be fixed till the next day! WHAT?!?! First of all, the front desk and concierge are not far from each other, so how did the front desk not know the printers weren't working? Second, I'm sure tons of people needed to have their boarding passes printed, why should it take a whole day to have someone get this fixed? AND THEN when we tried using the self serve stations, those didn't work either! We had to wait hours before we could use them and by then, we checked in so late my boyfriend and I were in a position where we might not be able to sit next to each other on the flight home (we flew southwest).\n\nAnd lastly, THE TIME SHARE PEOPLE!!!!!! ACK!!!! We initally did pretty well avoiding them at all costs, as they were easy to spot. However, my boyfriend made the mistake of making eye contact and we were sucked in by their tractor beam. After hearing their pitch I started pulling my boyfriend away, and one of the guys kept asking me \"Why don't you want to do it, miss? Why not? Why don't you want to?\", in a very bully-like manner that made me uncomfortable. I get why these people are here, but they should have a code of conduct to follow, and clearly they're allowed to do or say whatever they want to. \n\nFinal summation? It was an okay experience over all, HOWEVER I will never be staying at the Luxor again and would not recommend it to anyone going to Vegas.
