Answer: This was our second time to stay at Luxor. Seven years ago, we stayed in the pyramid after a busy holiday season. We'd requested an early check-in after driving in from Los Angeles, and I thought that the smudges on the windows, the stale air and the light coating of grime could be attributed to the rush to get things ready earlier after what must've been a busy New Year's Eve crowd. However, arriving for a regular weekend in November that was not connected to a peak travel event, I'm not able to give them the benefit of the doubt this time. Luxor wouldn't have been our first choice, but because they had offered a fantastic rate and our activities were planned closer to that end of the strip, we felt we couldn't pass up the opportunity. We hadn't been through the doors in seven years, but the lobby looked pretty much the same. Not that a hotel has to constantly redecorate, but in a city like Las Vegas where constant change stimulates customer attention, you'd think that it would try to look fresher. The lack of freshness followed us to the higher levels of the pyramid. Looking over the railing while making the long trek from the elevator, the dimness and the sense of uncleanliness makes you think that you're actually in an ancient Egyptian tomb. There were four of us staying in three rooms on the same floor, so I know that I'm not basing our experience on one unfortunate room. As soon as we opened the door, the room smelled of stale smoke in a way that houses smell when every occupant has chain-smoked since 1972. Being part of the pyramid, the windows do not open, and there is no way to circulate fresh air. I awoke each night with the ominous feeling that I will one day be diagnosed with lung cancer from second-hand smoke inhalation, and this particular stay at Luxor will have been the cause of it all. The room's air was cold, but adjusting the knobs only made the room colder over the next few hours. It was 75 degrees outside, and we were wearing jackets inside. One of our group called for maintenance on his air-conditioning knobs, and another commented about some spots on the wall. I had noticed these, too, which makes me think that Luxor prefers the darker earth tones of their chosen patterned wallpaper and carpet so that you don't notice the filth. The furniture, as I remembered it, was the same only more scuffed and scarred than last time. The curtains were soiled where hands had grabbed the fabric to open and close them rather than use the poles. Surely Luxor can afford to replace soiled fabrics and circulate furniture that needs repairing. There was rust around the bathroom air vents, and there was nothing fresh about the bathrooms. I realize the rapid turnover of hotel guests in Las Vegas, but I would think with as much revenue as they generate that Luxor could hire more cleaning staff and block off sections for regular inspection and deeper cleaning. At the very least, the cleaning staff should be trained to look up occasionally so they might see the collection of cobwebs above the bed, which were the first things I saw each morning. Perhaps the goal of all Las Vegas hotels is to encourage you to get out of the room and spend money, and maybe the Luxor goal is to make your room so repulsive that you don't want to return until the last possible moment. However, you should feel like you can relax in your room without having to put on a Hazmat suit. I'm giving Luxor two stars because the friendly and courteous staff prevented the stay from being completely awful.

Answer:
What a wonderful and unique place. Obviously, as the name suggests, they concentrate on desserts. So we went for the s'mores platter. It came out with all the usual fixings and was topped off with an interesting natural setup. A cauldron thingy of actual fire for you toast the marshmellos. It was like we at a camp fire inside of a cool modenistic bar. It was such a welcomed change of pace from our usual night out. I really wanted to try something from the extensive cupcake menu but we never got around to it. Hooka hooka hooka!! This was my first hooka bar and it was awesome. Who mixes hooka and dessert?? This place does and they rock at it. We got the peach tobacco and loved every minute. So smooth and truly enjoyable. Give this place a try! Enjoy! -Ian M.
