Luxor Hotel & Casino

I just stayed at the luxor Las Vegas in mar 2003 I must say I was very impressed It is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at and a stay at the luxor would not be complete without seeing the blu man group

First off I must say I've been to Vegas alot of times and I have to say the Luxor is on my top list to stay at. Alittle far from the strip but the walking will pay off. I would suggest a room in one of the towers just for the fact that the pyramid will have you walking all the way around the hotel just to get to your room. Hotel is great the rooms are great and the service is great. Did I mention but GREAt buffet. Best buffet in town. For the money and the quality I would reccomend this to anyone.

Luxor is a lot of fun to stay at. There are small interesting details in the rooms as well as the hallways & casinos. I noticed even our lamp had little Egyptian faces on it! If you stay at the Luxor, you get a free ticket to see the King Tut museum, which is quite interesting. Plus, Blue Man's theater is located inside, convenient since that was the show that I chose to see!

Pros: detailed, variety, fun!

Cons: expensive, no fridges in room, long lines

We love The Luxor. The rooms are nice and the staff is wonderful. Try the spa---it's a great spot for some relaxation from the heat and the strip. Check on thier website--they are always offering special deals with coupons that you will actually use in the hotel. The buffet is a great deal too--and actually has some pretty good food. And you can't beat the pool---it's actually big enough to handle the huge crowds in the hot weather--you won't feel as crowded as you do at several of the other hotels. Overall, it's a very good deal!

In spite of having a condo in Las Vegas we still prefer to stay at the Luxor. It's fun. It's beautiful. It's a great value and in spite of all the new hotels that have gone up the past few years the Luxor has held it's own and remains a destination hotel. The rooms are very nice and the pool is one of the nicest is all of Vegas. It has great restaurants and the buffet is a terrific value with very good food. John Pinet would approve. Don't miss the Blue Man Group. Close to the New York, Mandilay Bay, the MGM, the Tropicana (with the Comedy Stop - a must for every visit to LV) and the Excaliber. It's my favorite.

Pros: good value, well kept, unique

Cons: end of the strip

For a trully wonderful gastronomic delight, treat yourself to the Luxor's Steakhouse. Elegance, atmosphere and 5-star quality food that is worthy of the price. Friendly staff rounds out the experience. NY strip and stuffed lobster were to die for! Wonderful place to dine on that aninversary evening!

Pros: great food, atmosphere, friendly staff

Cons: expensive

We have just come back from our third stay at the Luxor. What can I say? It's in Vegas!! This hotel is not like the rest. The atmosphere is dark and mysterious, not bright and loud like the others in this town. The Luxor is my home when I am there. The Blue Man Group is an Awesome Show. The spa, pools, gaming tables, dance club, 7 restuarants, IMAX theater, game room and much more is enough to keep you busy for a couple days. If you've never been to Vegas, GO. If you stay anywhere else, you have to at least visit pyramid. The elevators go up and down on a 31 degree incline, and you have to show your room key to ride them.

Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Entertainment

Cons: none

I stayed at the Luxor last year and loved it..it was beautiful and had no need to request service. This year, the check in/out lines were horrific. We had to make repeated calls to maintenance to no avail-no response. I will seek to stay at other hotels on the strip the next time around. I was prepared to make the Luxor my home in Las Vegas-but as usual, some success can spawn a let down in Customer Service.

Pros: gorgeous hotel, reasonable rates

Cons: Front desk, housekeeping/maint

Best value on the strip. Love this place. Clean and beautiful rooms (reserve room in the tower, they are bigger than the ones in not pyramid). Pools are small though. Also it is kind of far from the center of the strip. But overall this place is very good. Plus my favorite club "RA" is located here.

Pros: Value

Cons: Location, Small pools

Posted 07/09/03

Stayed 2 nights (May 19-20). The casino is not IN YOUR FACE right at the front door like most hotels. Room was beautiful, lots to do. So much art and wonderful decor. Staff were great! I'd stay there again in an eyeblink (but would NOT do the virtual rides again!!). Bellagio most beautiful decor, Mandalay Bay most beautiful architecture but Luxor BEST ALL ROUND!

Pros: Building, decor, staff

Cons: Not much view, Not needed

If you're staying at the Luxor for a convention, try to get one of their jacuzzi-tub rooms in the West Towers. West Tower rooms are the closest rooms to the ballroom. You just take the elevator down and go pass the spa to the ballroom. If you are in the West Tower try to get a room facing the mountains to the West, or try for a room facing to the North and the Excaliber Hotel. If you can get a room in the East Tower, try to get one facing the Strip to the East, or one facing the MGM Grand to the North. The McDonalds in the food court serves good food. The Swenson's has great ice cream and smoothies. Get a day pass to the spa and health club, it's worth the money.

Pros: Tower Jacuzzi Rooms, Health Club Passes, Food Court

I've stayed at several top resorts in Vegas, and I haven't encountered a better staff than the people at Luxor...they're extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. As for the Spa...resist the temptation to spend buckets of money at so-called "classier" spas at the Venetian and Bellagio...the Oasis Spa was wonderful and their staff was amazing! My girls and I were totally pampered and treated like queens...we went back 2 days in a row to receive treatments at the Oasis - I can't say enough good things about it!

Pros: great value, awesome staff, fun casino

Cons: location

It's very easy to get lost in Luxor, it has a maze of corridors that connect the pyramid to the additional towers and to the Excalibur next door. The Pyramid room was really big with an awesome view of the mountains. There are no bathtubs in the Pyramid and the "inclinators" only go up one side so we had to walk far to our room. It's the most confusing casino out of all the others we went into explore. The food in the buffet and the cafe was sub-par for the price. The best food we had was from room service. The spa was great and lots of free drinks and snacks. I don't reccommend the hair salon. I found most of the service of desk/bell clerks average or below. The dealers were mostly friendly and fun to play with. The dry cleaning service lost one of my husbands shirts.

Pros: great rooms, great gambling, good roomservice

Cons: long walk to room, easy to get lost, bad midprice food

The Luxor is absolutely magnificent! At night its your first sign that your entering the city! When you go inside for a good gander and look up your totally dumbstruck by the fact that the floors overlap each other in a pyramid esque manner. Whoever architect this place did one keck of a job. The buffet is pretty tasty aswell. Left me moving my belt down a notch so my gut can wallow over. The casino is also equipped with a great blackjack machine that i won a dollar and 50 cents off of!

Pros: Luxor Light, Asthmosphere, Won a dollar 50

Luxor was fantastic - had a food court for the cheap at heart. Room rates were great in November! Blue Man Group was in the hotel - so accessible! Near the MGM, Mandalay Bay and Excalibur and NYNY - beautiful pools and lots of shopping. Casino was great and slots paid out frequently. You'll love it!

Pros: soundproof rooms, theater in hotel, great casino

Cons: end of strip, long walks to rooms, no coffee in rooms

We were a little disorientated when we arrived (Sat.), many people. We overlooked check-in and kept walking in and out with our luggage. We stayed in the pyramid. I thought the room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. At the end of the night we hated the fact that the hotel was so far out on the strip. The casino was big, very nice, friendly dealers. If it wasn't for wanting to stay and experience different hotels, we would definitely stay there again. (A little slow with check-in/out though.)

Pros: large casino, nice rooms

Cons: location, slow check-in/out

If you want the feel of the Egptian Nile, you are on your way at the Luxor Hotel. I spent a glorous two nights and it was well worth the drive! Much to see in do in just one place not to mention the entire Las Vegas Strip.

Pros: great designs, great food, great rooms

Cons: n/a

See everything this hotel has to offer and there's
no need to travel over to the real Egypt. Had a
blast there!! The food was excellent at the Pharoh's
Feast Buffet. You might think it's pricey, but it's
well worth it. You can't even imagine how big
the buffet is...it's mind boggling. There's so much
to do inside the hotel that we didn't leave the premises for two days!! Don't miss out on the
museum upstairs inside the pyramid!! And the
inclinators are a hoot...that's an elevator that doesn't exactly travel vertically!!!!

Pros: Great rooms, Excellent food

Cons: Can get lost easily

An architectural wonder, the Luxor's cavernous lobby is awesome. At night, the exterior lights and spotlight projecting straight up are impressive -- but the glass pyramid loses some of it's mystique during the day. The inclinators, IMAX, large casino and other high tech wonders make the Luxor a fun destination for families with adolescent children and money to burn--but the atmosphere isn't as rich or elegant as Bellagio or Venetian.

Pros: architecture

Cons: expensive

Was one of the best hotels that Ive stayed at and the Kids loved it. If you stay during the week it is very affordable. It has four pools, none of which are very deep. We had a great and relaxing time in the pool witht he water fall.

I stayed here at the Luxor in March the staff was so nice. The room was beautifully decorated. My every whim was catered too.

Cons: valet took forever

Posted 06/07/02

This place gets a bad rap, but for no good reason. There are always good discounts available, the diagonal elevators are the coolest and it's always cool to say you've stayed in the world's largest pyramid.

My wife and I vacationed in Las Vegas in December of 2001 and we stayed in the Luxor. We had a great time and the hotel was "simply marvelous". When we return to Vegas in June we will be staying in the Luxor again. Out of a possible 4 stars my wife and I give the Luxor Hotel & casino ****** stars. The Mack family

My very first time at Luxor happened to be wonderful. I would definitely return. I had a great room rate and was expecting a very basic room. My room was a suite. I had a fantastic view of the strip and a Jacuzzi. On casino floor they had an Imax Theater. Overall the service was excellent. I was particular impressed with the check in facility at the airport. I saved a lot of time and money since I stayed away from the gambling tables, plus the people at the front desk were friendly and efficient.

Posted 05/22/02

I didn't know what to expect here since the rooms were very inexpensive, especially compared to the "nicer" hotels on the Strip. Boy, were my expectations blown away. Nice rooms, comfortable beds, great bathroom (at least in the Tower Rooms). The Cafe downstairs served great food and the casino wasn't as huge and confusing as other places. The slots were fairly loose and it was easy to get onto a BlackJack table. I highly recommend the Luxor!

Pros: good-size casino, good food, great rooms

Cons: parking was a bit far

Posted 05/21/02

The Luxor's huge laser beam emitting pyramid is one of the first things you'll see from the plane -- very impressive. But be content to gawk from afar. It's not that great of a place to stay. I've been there twice and both times the beds were incredibly uncomfortable. I've stayed on firmer mattresses at Motel 6. Also, the lines were very long in the check in area. It seems like they could have done a lot to speed things up (neither time was on a holiday weekend, btw). If you do stay there, resist the temptation to get a room in the pyramid. The layout is confusing and it takes forever to get to your room. The drawback of the towers is for some part of the appeal. It's close to the pool and can be loud if you're on one of the lower floors.
