My husband and I haven't been to the luxor in about 8 years. Last time we were there, we had a nice room with a suite attached. It was clean and had nice furnishing, etc. I thought we would go there again...earlier in the week, we were at the Hilton Holiday Club, which BTW was very nice, and I thought that the Luxor would be an upgrade. Boy was I wrong!!! We checked in on a Saturday. Got to the Hotel early because we were just down the street. Told check in started at 12pm. Check in started at 11am, and then lines got so long that it was like a 45 minute wait....oh but that was just the beginning of our "fun". It was a beautiful day, and we wanted to check out the pool. We got into our room. It was absoultely gross!! You almost didn't want to walk barefoot in the room because you weren't sure what was still on the carpet. There was hardly any lighting. The walls looked dirty, the bathroom was in some serious need of repair (cracked toliet seat) and the bathroom floors look nasty. Oh and 2 towels, are you kidding? It was about 90 in our room. I called the front desk and she asked if our shades were closed (we were in the pyramid) I told her the shades were closed. They said they would send someone up to look at the air. If they did, you wouldn't know cause it never got any cooler in our room. Oh and no safe's in the room. You are in a casino....with money....valuables. The door man was like yeah they can bring you one but it's $20 a day. Are you for real???
Finally, we get down to the pool. What absoulte madness!! Not a chair to be had. So people were pulling chairs out from behind some little building. The lifeguard was yelling not to pull out anymore chairs (what cause she would have to put them back at the end of the day?) We pulled out chairs anyways, tons of people, no where to put a chair. The chairs were black with dirt. So much so that I went to the bathroom and got wetted paper towels to wipe them down. The black water that ran off was nasty. They said they weren't expecting this crowd. Excuse me...wouldn't you know based on reservations and the forecast is for sunny skies for 7 days?? helllllo...
In 8 years this place has gone down hill. They need to get new attitudes and a new custodial staff. I will never stay at the luxor again. It was expensive for what we got. Wish we had stayed at the Hilton for the rest of our vacation.
