This is my first time writing a hotel review, but I felt duty bound to do so after using this site as a resource for organizing my holiday.
I must confess that I was a little anxious about staying at the Luxor after reading some of the reviews, but I am pleased to say that my stay at the hotel was absolutely fine.
I arrived at the Luxor at around 9pm on a Saturday night. Check-in took no longer than 5 minutes. The check-in staff were very friendly.
I stayed in a Tower Deluxe room on the 4th floor of the West Tower. The room was very clean and extremely spacious, especially the bathroom with a separate bath and shower. The only bad point is that there were two queen beds in the room, instead of the one king bed I had requested. This was not a great concern for me, but I can understand how that could annoy others.
The location of the hotel is often cited as a bad point in the reviews I've read; I really cannot understand this. Although it is at the southern end of the strip, it can hardly be described as being in a bad location. I found that I either took a taxi (if going to the Wynn or anywhere further north) or a leisurely walk to my destination (if going up to anywhere as far as the Bellagio). There is certainly no hindrance to being based at the Luxor.
I did not use the pool or spa facilities at the hotel and did not dine there often. I had one meal in the food court, which was fine, and one meal at Tender, which was absolutely fantastic - highly recommended.
The casino was fairly standard. Personally, I found the ambiance to be a little subdued and much preferred the casinos at the Bellagio and the Mirage, but this is just a matter of individual preference.
The one thing to watch out for are the Timeshare sales reps. They congregate around the lobby and engage you in friendly coversation before revealing their true intent. In my opinion, they seem to act as official hotel staff, which is irritating.
The hotel service was good for me. I always came back to a tidy room. The only other interaction I had was with the check-in and check-out staff. Check-out was just as fast as check-in and the staff were equally friendly. I did not have to pay the resort fee upon check-out. I'm not entirely sure why this was the case. I booked my holiday with Expedia and can only assume that the fee was included in that price.
So to summise, I believe the Luxor to be a very nice hotel offering excellent value for money. I can think of no reason whatsoever to book this hotel again for my next outing to Las Vegas and I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends and family.
Have fun in Vegas!
