Getting curious about Luxor

I stayed there in the summer of 06. It wasn%26#39;t bad, but it wasn%26#39;t great. It was very tired- rooms, casinos, restaurants, etc...

I didn%26#39;t give it much thought after that, and only noticed the casino shrink during my last two visits as they began to do some renovations.

I am starting to hear a lot more about it, and I was just on there website, noticing all the new restaurants.

It%26#39;s got me a lot more curious. It%26#39;s obvviously as much a signature property as anything can be. I mean, it%26#39;s not like you have to tell people WHICH pyramid you%26#39;re staying at!

What I haven%26#39;t heard anything about however is room renovations. Has anyone heard anything about when they may start updating the VERY TIRED rooms in the pyramid?

Another nice change would be to see them re-route foot traffic to and from the pool, so it doesn%26#39;t all go through the casino. A very old school system (through the casino to everywhere) that really backfires when dripping wet kids are running through.

Getting curious about Luxor

Yeah, I saw that. It%26#39;s actually what got me intrigued today. But the sticking point to me is still the rooms. I can%26#39;t imagine they are going to pour all this money into renovations and upgrades and leave the same tired rooms. I%26#39;m just wondering when the rooms will start to get some attention.

I called Luxor about 3 weeks ago and asked them and he said they haven%26#39;t been told yet.

I have a feeling it might be at the end of this year. I think they want to finish up with the casino, bars/lounges/nightclubs, and dining/buffet first.

They are getting close to having alot of these things done.

You pay pocket change for those rooms, and most are nice. if you don%26#39;t like your room, ask politely to be moved. The pool, restaurants, and other facilities are major-league, at Super-8 motel pricing.

Hey mgg!

Are you getting offers from them now? If I remember correctly, your table rating is a LOT higher than mine and they%26#39;re always offering to put me up in the newer Tower at no additional cost. The Luxor is the only Players Club property I know of where $50 a hand for awhile will get a host to your table.

Sorry I don%26#39;t have any additional info on Pyramid room renovations.

I stayed at the Luxor last November and while I booked a pyramid room I asked for a tower room when I checked in because I read some negative posts about the pyramid room. I was very happy with my tower room - no complaints at all. So my advise to be safe is book a tower room.

I%26#39;m getting some offers from them. I haven%26#39;t spent much time in the MGM-Mirage Universe lately, so I think they are feeling a bit unloved. I plan on spending some time there when I head out next week.

I too have heard the Tower Rooms are nicer. But I love the proximity of the pyramid rooms.

I am just looking forward to a renovation of the pyramid, because I think the rooms themself are so unique. And as the continue to revamp the property, I think the appeal of staying there is going to climb.

But right now, the old Egyptian theme in the rooms, the lack of in-room safes in the pyramid, and other such things are keeping the rooms a step below the rest of the property.

I am sure it%26#39;s only a matter of time. And I bet with the creative minds they have renovating rooms in Vegas now, that when they finally get to the pyramid rooms, they are really going to be wild.
