Luxor Hotel and Casino

Rating: 3.5

We reserved a non-smoking pyramid room. Our flight arrived late in the evening, so we called the Luxor to tell them that we'd be arriving very late. They said that it wouldn't be a problem, we could check in any time. However, when we checked in, we'd been moved to a smoking tower room. They said we'd been "upgraded" and I can neither agree nor disagree with that. Our room was really nice, but I've never seen a pyramid room. We were very disappointed though that our smoking room definitely smelled like smoke. However, the biggest disappointment was the hard mattress - but I guess that can be a good thing for those of you who have to have a firm sleeping plank.

The best thing about the room was the bathroom. It was very nice, and very large. It even had a separate shower and bath. The whole room was tiled with granite tile (be careful, it can be slippery).

Stay at the Luxor if you're on this end of the strip. It's a good hotel, and the staff is all very nice.
