My friend and I in our forties and daughters who turned twenty-one while we were in Las Vegas, stayed at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas from the 17th of July to the 22nd. We had a room in the East Tower, which was large, clean and cool. I called down for more towels, and they were brought up within the half hour. We found everything to be better that we thought after reading the reviews. There is alot of contruction going on in the Luxor, as they are changing their Egyptian theme...there is also alot of construction going on in the rest of Las Vegas. We did not spend alot of time in our room, or the hotel, as we were there to see the sights, but we found everything to be fine. Check in was speedy, and we did the express check out. I probably would stay somewhere more central next time, but there are no complaints.

This was my first time at the Luxor. I go to Las Vegas a couple of times every year, and the past two times were at Excalibur. Everyone's told me that the Luxor is supposed to be a big step up from the Excalibur, but after this trip, I think I should've gone with what was already familiar to me.

The room I stayed in was a Tower Deluxe room in the West Towers. On Luxor's website they claim to be "newly renovated and visually stunning," that was far from it. The bed was stiff as a board and the chairs needed to be cleaned or reupholstered. The table next to the window is small and flimsy. The room stunk of cigarette smoke even though I asked for a non-smoking room. I've had rooms better at the Imperial Palace than this room. The only thing good I can say about it was that the bathroom was big and that I liked the separate shower and tub.

The bars and lounges mostly look nice there. I went to Liquidity which has a really pretty waterfall in the middle of the bar.

Getting around the hotel can be confusing. There's not many signs telling you where to go. I had trouble figuring out how to get to the upstairs food court area and walkway to Mandalay Bay. It's probably due to all the construction around there. Also, walking from these Tower rooms to the casino is quite a hassle.

I chose this over staying at Excalibur for this weekend because it was only about $20 more and I thought I'd have a better room. I'd gladly take one of the newly renovated rooms at the Excalibur (which do look accurate in the pictures on their site), than stay back here.

We travelled to Las Vegas for our honeymoon on 16/3/08 with 4 nights in the Luxor, 5 in San Francisco and a final night back in Vegas at the Bellagio as a final night treat. American Spring Break was in full swing at this time, but didn't seem like it, as not a noticeable amount of young people in groups.

We arrived at the Luxor, as as per previopus reviews, the check in queue was very long, but moved quickly. To be fair, every hotel we went in to in Vegas had the same length of queue - it's just a busy place! We actually were checked in quicker at the Luxor than the Bellagio, although we had to carry our own bags at Luxor, to be expected tho.

It was my first time in Vegas, my wife's second - and we had chosen the Luxor because it was one of the more high profile names in the star rating group we were lookign at. We both found it a real disappointment. We stayed in the pyramid, and didn't see the tower rooms, which do sound alot nicer. The whole hotel and casino, rooms included, are very tired and run down, everything looks like it needs re-decorated and is very dated. Rooms were clean, but sheets and towles must have been washed 1000 times - just really diappointing.

The worst thing was every other hotel we went to looked as if it had just been built. A taxi driver told us the Luxor is due to be demolished, so they are not spending anything on it any longer. The Excalibur next door is the same price but just a lot newer. It really took the sparkle out of Vegas - felt more like Blackpool in parts of the hotel.

They also have a really annoying tannoy system which echoes all round the inside of the pyramind, starts about 6 am and goes on unitl at least 3am - and it can be heard from all the pyramid rooms quite clearly.

I pick any of the other hotels in the price bracket - Stratosphere is vert reasonable, cheaper than Luxor and nicer inside - Luxor you are really paying for the iconic image and the location (it's the last hotel at the end of the strip, but walkable in comfy shoes to anything else). Go for a cheaper hotel, get taxis everywhere (12 dollars for the length of the strip), as the Deuce bus which goes up and down the strip is cheap and regular, but takes at least an hour and a half to go the length of the strip, as it stops every 20 yards. We were barely in our hotel, it was just somewhere to lay our heads, but had it been nicer we may have stayed more. DO NOT EAT HERE, IT IS UNBELIEVABLY EXPENSIVE AND PORTIONS ARE POOR. Go over to MGM, just over the street, much better.

It's Vegas, you expect the tackiness, and that is what we loved, but you expect a level of luxury too. The hotel was the only bad thing about the whole trip, but as it's probably the first thing you'll see when you arrive, it starts you off on a bit of a downer. Treat yourself to the Bellagio or Wynn if money allows, if not, anywhere but Luxor will give you the total Vegas WOW holiday.

Of all the hotels on the strip, this seemed to be the easiest to navigate through. A lot of the other hotels: MGM, NYNY, Venetian, Paris, took so long to walk around and it was easy to get lost if you’re prone to it like I am. Luxor was less congested and more open with high ceilings. It is easily connected to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur.
The pool area is nice. I would highly recommend springing for the daily charge for the better lounge chairs for enhanced comfort and some shade.
The casino was decent although the (free) cocktail servers on the casino floor were the least personable and (seemingly) the least interested in serving (even though I was tipped really well). The 24 hour café had exceptionally good food (and really good coffee). The buffet restaurant had a really cool feel to it. The food was all really good and fresh. And it was nice because it overlooked the casino.
The rooms were pretty basic. Beds were nothing exceptional but the décor was cool and the standard rooms were very good sized. Bathrooms are nice.
The check in lines at between 3pm and 6pm are always extraordinarily long on the weekends and even Sunday night, but it actually moves pretty fast.
There is construction going on at the property, but it was never a disturbance.
The bellhops and valets are really friendly and quick.
