I've stayed at the Luxor in Las Vegas before – many years ago – when I was
given a room in their big black pyramid. It’s a strange experience, with a
slanted picture window where I’d bumped my head a couple of times when I got
too close. The pyramid also has “inclinators” instead of elevators, because the
ride is at an angle. Strange to experience.
This last time, in March, I got a room in their tower
that’s attached to the pyramid. Instead of heading for an inclinator, guests at
the towers have a fairly long walk to the left of the registration area
pictured above. It’s not too bad and I could handle the walk easily.
Along the way, there’s a large area with life-sized animal
carvings that I visited a couple of times during my stay there. Nice animals:
My room was very “lux,” as they are fond of saying at the
Luxor, very lux indeed:
I had a good look at the Las Vegas Strip parking lot, and
the stalled SkyVue ferris wheel construction across the way. Not too exciting,
but what the heck, the room was free.
Finally, the bathroom amenities. It was the usual
shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and bar of soap. I didn’t care for the bar
soap’s scent, so I tried their pyramid soap. Like everything pyramidal at the
Luxor, this one was unusual. You try taking a bath with a pyramid soap with its
five points.
I will say one thing, though, those points sure do help
when you’re trying to get certain difficult-to-reach places cleaned.
