I was visiting the states for the first time and Vegas. Was excited to be staying at the Luxor, unfortunately on arrival I was less than impressed. The foyer is huge and impressive but travelling from AUSTRALIA the smell of smoke was just overpowering.
I had a pyramid queen room, very very dated, noisy aircon unit that was struggling to keep up so my room stunk of smoke.
No complimentary water
No fridge
On the plus side the the bed was comfy enough and the staff are friendly but I figure that s just the States and the service driven environment.
The mono rail/ tram skips from mandalay/Luxor and excalibur but unless your a gambler it s fairly useless. If it linked with the main mono rail that might be useful.
For me I spent as much time out of the hotel as I possibly could as the smoke started affecting my lungs.
I understand Vegas is the place you go to do whatever you like but I ll be looking to stay elsewhere on my next trip.
