A: My only other trip to Las Vegas was two summers ago and I stayed at the Wynn/Encore, so with that in mind... I think this review fits in with most of the rest and I felt very 'meh' about Luxor. We paid about $80 a night for a Monday-Thursday stay which is pretty awesome considering that you usually can't find a room for under $100 on the strip. But you definitely get what you pay for... Very, very standard (and in need of renovation) rooms- which again, is more than okay with me because you're only in the room for a few hours between bars/casino's and the pool. The food choices are okay, the More buffet wasn't bad for the price. The real standout was the Pyramid Cafe, you must try the waffles or pancakes (Red Velvet pancakes?! If you have time, check out the Titanic and Bodies exhibits, both are very cool. The guys at the bell desk are extremely helpful too, they'll store your bags before or after check-in with no charge. One extra side note for the "pro's"- the guest services rep who checked us in, let us have our room 3 hours early with no charge which we really did appreciate. Everything else about this place just lost me... I understand the pyramid thing is pretty cool and gimmicky but after a while it gets annoying. The floor plan of the place is very odd, the elevators are stuck deep on the corners of the place and you find yourself constantly going up and down stairs and escalators to anywhere or do anything. One thing that made me really dislike this place though, were the "vultures" constantly on the floor trying to get my girlfriend and I to come talk to them about their newest condo ownership opportunity and give them money so they can comp us something later... This happened more times than I can count. I guess overall, even though we stayed there we never really felt welcome. It's possible my previous visit set too high of a standard for a Vegas hotel... During our next trips out to Vegas we'll be willing to spend a little more on a hotel for newer rooms and hopefully a better floor plan with no crazy salespeople.

Q: negative

A: Over hyped. With the groupon, happy hour doesn't apply, but even with the groupon there is no way to be full without spending an exorbitant amount of money for tiny portions. The sea urchin noodles were slathered in oil, the pork belly was good just by virtue of it being so fatty, and they need sauces or dips to make anything else taste good. If you're into the tiny tasters of 'exotic' food combinations and have the money to spend sampling it all, it might be fun, but if you want a real meal there are plenty of other choices around the area.

A: Cheap boba located inside the Chinatown plaza.... * Small joint with a few tables. Pretty good selection of drinks to choose from. I was pretty surprised to order the small size and it looked like a large for only a few bucks! If your order is less than 5 bucks, pay with cash so you don't get charged the extra 50 cents with the plastic. * Taro milk tea with boba- my usual standard so I know how I like my taro. This one is more on the sweet side and kinda thick. Good overall if is was just a lil less sweet. * Mango slush with boba- this was really good. They use real fruit so points in my book for boba places that do this. Refreshing. * They also have some food here but I didn't try it.

A:
I ordered my pizza but instead of telling me that all their drivers had gone home they transferred my order to a place that doesn't deliver to my area. I literally live 4 intersections away. I waited the time for the pizza, the other branch made the pizza, and both of us lost service. Great job douche canoes.
