Luxor Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas

My husband and I checked into the Luxor on Friday March 18. Check-in was very fast which was pretty cool considering it was a Friday. The elevator we had to use was very close by to the casino and to our room which we loved, we were on the third floor so we were very close to the atrium level where all the main attractions are:Titanic and Bodies and the walkway to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur is also on the 4th floor. Tacos and Tequila has the best mexican food! Our first night we ate at The Steakhouse inside the Excalibur...not so great, we were seated right away but it took FOREVER for our food to be served, drinks were ok but it was way too overpriced! After dinner we decided to walk the Strip... MGM, New York New York, Excalibur, Mandalay Bay and Tropicanas are all 5 mins away from the Luxor! Saturday we decided to catch Criss Angel's BeLIEve which was AMAZING!!!!! His illusions are unbelieveable and his assistants are hilarious! After the show we decided we wanted to visit some lounges and dance and drink the night away...Eyecandy @ Mandalay Bay was a lot of fun the Dj was awesome and the drinks were delicious! House of Blues @ Mandalay Bay was not fun at all very boring and not for young couples! Sunday we slept in and checked out around 10:50 check out was also very fast! We had so much fun, we are going back in May! Can't wait

Smoking is allowed in the Luxor casino and bars. This was my first visit to Las Vegas. I stayed at the Luxor for free because I was a guest. I figured every hotel on the strip would be top notch because of all the money flowing. The Luxor is bottom notch. While there may be great rooms in the Luxor, my hotel room was worse than a room at an average Motel 6 (no exaggeration). I don't think the money men behind this hotel cared about repeat business or respected the average person who would be staying. Based on my room the hotel couldn't have been much when it first opened. The furnishings were sparse, cheap, and tacky. Everything in the room and bathroom was dark and earth-tone in color. The only amenity was an ironing board and an iron with with some type of adhesive melted on the face. The only complimentary hygiene products in the bathroom were shampoo/conditioner blend, lotion, and soap. The room had very slow internet (internet is not an amenity). I did an online speed test, and it registered at 512Kb/second. The modem was located in the wardrobe, and you connected to it with a 20 foot CAT V cable that you also pulled out of the wardrobe. This gives you flexibility on where you can use your laptop but...come on. The TV was not flat screen. The cable was not digital, so you couldn't tell what station you were watching. The lighting was horrible. The main lights were circular, 6 inches in diameter, halogens. They are directional meaning they focus light down. You would expect these lights under your cupboards above your counter. The carpet and furniture was stained badly, the drapes wouldn't close all the way, the door let in a lot of sound from the hallway, the ventilation in the room was bad (the first night it smelled smokey in the bathroom), the AC was extremely old and had to be maxed to keep the room cool (it didn't pull air from outside). The buffet food was very good. The buffet decorum was bad as were the lines. The casino and bars were good (except for the smoking and a lot of the dealers lacked personality). Finally, the food court was good except for Starbucks. Starbucks seems to think it's ok to charge $3.00 for a small coffee (which wasn't hot).

We checked in on mar 8/11 for 4 nights. We were just horrified by the room conditions. The carpets were black and ripped. The walls,curtains were covered in water damage. The furniture was ripped and filty as well. The room smelt like mold and it looked like the room had not been cleaned in months is was grose. We went to front desk and they gave us another room just to get the same dirty pig hole. We booked online for our trip big mistake cause they had our money already. We had wanted our money back to go elsewhere and of course they refused to return our money. So to say the least we were stuck there. The staff was very unfriendly and not accomadating at all. We learned something from all of this and we wil in future book our flight and room seperate to never have to deal with that again. And if you want good food dont eat there we found the food was not good at all.

It was a nice hotel basically clean and people were very friendly alot of walking from room to elevator and there was Mold in on the bathroom ceiling. I would not stay at this hotel after seeing the other surrounding hotels.

I loved Tacos & Tequila (T&T) and felt it was some of the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had. The atmosphere/theme of the place was one of the main reasons my girlfriend and I chose The Luxor, even though they have been modernizing it and taking away some of the Egyptian stuff to make it more palatable to the mainstream. Our usual cleaning lady Lupe was fantastic and went above and beyond to make our stay clean and comfortable. The price for a room was very reasonable. If you eat at some place called "The Backstage Deli" or something like that, you won't be disappointed. The Sonoran hot dog is an entire meal itself and there are so many toppings that it sort of trumps the hot dog itself. Great desserts there as well. Also, there are Starbucks everywhere you turn in the building. The pool is nice but it only gets to be like 3 1/2 ft. deep. I wouldn't recommend The Pyramid Cafe unless you are going for the onion rings. My favorite game there was Rapid Roulette, a sort of half-computerized, simpler version of roulette, but the dealer was a real ****. Otherwise, the service was great all throughout the hotel. But the bottom line is this - though I'd love to sample all the other hotels, I'd hate to not stay at The Luxor if I were to visit Vegas again.

well i am 14 and i went this past year to stay at the luxor with my best friend and my parents for fun! ;p we had the best time its safe and i think it was easy to navigate around since the pyramid floor is just a big square! it does get a little confusing i loved the titanic artifact musem not many food places up stairs but they were all good had like 5 nathans hot dogs! the rooms were a bit outdated but if your like my family who doesnt stay in their room the whole time then its ok the room was clean the beds were great at first someone told us about bed bugs but there were none! very clean and fun hotel ! as 14 year olds my best friend and i went around the luxor the whole time! its safe for teens we went to starbucks and to see criss angel its amazing there we are going back in march! the only thing i didnt like is the scary elevaters!! they rattle feel like your gonna just drop but i dont care :P

I didnt love or hate anything about this place- it was average. Long walks to get to room was the only thing I didnt love and the fact the bathroom wasnt as clean as I would of liked. Had an issue with first room and they moved us right away-the service was ok but had an incident in the casino. I was plahing blackjack at a machine and suddenly the screen went all goofy and all my money was gone- I complained and she pretty much called me a liar saying I set the bet limit to $18 a time.....they gave me my money back when I argued that I didnt touch anything and the screen went all goofy like a freezing computer- but she looked at me like I was trying to steal $18 from the casino- really? rude over $18?blah

We have stayed at numerous hotels on the strip in Vegas. This was, without a doubt, one of the more disappointing stays we have ever had. They moved us three out of four days into other rooms for everything from leaking toilets to leaking rooms. Each room was tired, worn-out and dated. Even the 'deluxe suite' on the top floor of the tower building had two 20" standard TV's from the 1980's. What was most surprising and annoying was that the bellmen routinely used the guest elevators to transport the luggage back and forth. Sometimes making the guests wait for the next elevator. I have never seen any hotel do that. I even questioned a bellman why and he explained that they only have one elevator dedicated to the moving of luggage so they decided to use the guest elevators instead. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, however there is only so much they can do when they only have so much to work with.

There were many problems with our room. To start we had to have the sheets changed because there were signs of bed bugs on one of the beds. Next the television had scratches inside the set and the reception was very blury. Now I know people dont go to Vegas to watch tv but at night or early in the morning I enjoy watching tv as I get ready. The internet set up was a joke. The cable to connect to my laptop was placed on top of the tv and reaching only as far as the edge to one of the beds making it very hard to actually check anything comfortably. At night the room was very warm so we had to turn on the air conditioning but did not realize that we were going to be sleeping with something that sounded like an airplane was landing in our room. The unit was so noisy that we were unable to get a goods night sleep. I had considered calling down to the front desk but it was very late and I didnt want to change rooms. When I finally fell asleep for a time longer than an hour an alarm suddenly went off. Someone apparently set the alarm clock in our room and it wasnt us. Unable to figure out how to turn it off I just kept hitting the snooze button every 10 min. Then came the time to shower. Our shower doors leaked out making the bathroom floor very wet and slippery and the hot water took about 5 min to acutally get warm. By the time check out came I was too excited to get back into the death trap that is the Luxor elevator, the shaking and the fact that I lost my balance every time I rode it even when I was sober, and leave the hotel never to come back unless I hear of drastic changes. I expected a more fancy and luxurious hotel and was only disappointed with what I saw and experienced. Their buffet is bad too!We ate at the buffet at about 5:30 and we surprised to see that it was empty and now I know why. The food was cold and not fresh. Many items were mislabeled and were horrible tasting. There was NO ONE to complain to and I looked. By the time I finally gave up and decided it would be safe to try some dessert I realized I should have skipped that too. Things continued to be mislabeled and wrongly prepared. Deserts that are meant to be served warm or hot were cold and disgusting. I will NEVER return here to eat again.

The shows were good, we saw Fantasy and Kris Angel. The room sucked... the beds and the pillows were really uncomfortable, and we didn't have a trash can in our room. The elevator was quite a ways a way from our room. It just wasn't as nice as I expected, and I didn't expect much.
