My Husband and I recently stayed at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. We were surprised when we arrived how beautiful the hotel was, with the large statues of Egyptian Queens and Sphinxes, waterfalls, and shops. We had trouble in the beginning locating the registration area and were guided by a person in a Luxor uniform to a desk, where she said it was registration; it was not, it was to sign up for shows. We then followed the signs and found the registration desk. We had to wait in line, as we came on a Friday –which means crowds on the weekend in Vegas. While waiting in line a Luxor employee was offering free water bottles to anyone who needed it, which was refreshing after being in the heat. When we got to our room we where surprised at how nice it was. Beautiful marble entry way, with a tub and a shower, a makeup mirror and nice desk, a sitting area, a large king bed, and a beautiful entertainment center. The Egyptian theme was carried throughout the room, with pictures of Egypt and artifacts. The room was very clean and the sheets were starched clean. The bed was comfortable and the view was pretty good, we got to see parts of New York New York, Excalibur and Mandalay Bay. We liked the room, it was very nice and clean and we would definitely stay there again. I would recommend anyone to stay there.

My very first trip to Las Vegas was this past July 2006. We spent 4 very hot days in Vegas. I was married at the clerks office but the Luxor has a beautiful chapel if that's part of your plan. The Luxor is wonderful with excellent staff; the pools are awsome.

Please be careful of the time share promotions as I was given vouchers for a show that was sold out and the other date option didn't exist, however, the Luxor ticket representative was able to get us in on standby -- great seats for Carrot Top. I'd see it again in a heart beat.

When I go back there is a good chance we'll stay here again.

I just returned from a recent 5 day/4 night trip to Vegas with a bunch of friends in their 30's and 40's

I did a fair amount of research ahead of time, so I knew what to ask for. We wanted a lot of space, so we booked a 2 bedroom suite, which is basically a 1 bedroom suite with an attached regular room. Review of other Tripadvisor reviews suggested that I should ask for a room in the Tower, as these are more likely to be renovated. On making the reservation, I was told that the 2 Bedroom suites were only in newly renovated towers. On checking in, I was told that 2BR suites were in both the pyramid and tower buildings. We were also told that the WEST tower is recently renovated, and that the pyramid and East tower are not recently renovated. So, we asked for a WEST tower suite which we got. THe suite was wonderful. Everything was in excellent shape. The carpets and floors were very clean, and the beds were quite good. The mattresses were not super-luxury, but were comfortable and on the slightly firm side. I have a bad back, but woke up pain-free. The 2 bedroom suite is a total of 1500 square feet! THe main bedroom has a huge attached bathroom, and is connected to the dining room and kitchenette with wet bar. There is a refridgerator and sink, but no stove. Then their is the living room, with a couch (not a sleeper) and chairs. The living room has a connector door to the 2nd bedroom, which is basically an adjoining regular room with a king bed. The regular rooms also looked quite nice, with a spacious room and nice bathroom.

The 2 BR suite was about $530 on weeknights and near $600 on the weekend nights. THis was great value considering the space that we got. It also comes with 1 rollaway, and additional rollaways are $25 each. We were told that a 1BR suite would be $100 less than the corresponding regular room rates.

A luxor regular room is about $130 or less on a weeknight. We also spent 1 weeknight at the new Wynn Hotel. The regular room their was smaller than a luxor regular room, but obviously more luxurious. However, the Wynnn room was $330 on a weeknight compared to $130 at the luxor.

As far as the casino and the pool areas, these are somewhat dated. The crowd was a mixture of families and average folk. Pretty laid back crowd. The people were not trendy, but on the other hand, the place is not seedy at all either. The pool was a mixture of people, with a fair amount of kids. We actually did not spend much daytime at the luxor, but instead spent a lot of time at the Wynn, even on the nights when we did not stay there (see my review on the Wynn). But it was worth staying at the luxor for the value. IT is good value for a strip hotel. However, you can fing better deals at some of the off-strip hotels if being on the strip is not important to you.

We spent three nights in this beautiful hotel. This one and Mandalay Bay (next door) have to be the best looking ones on the strip. Luxor had the best photo shots (day and night), it seemed like the Luxor had the cleanest casinos and a very helpful staff.
I have to agree that the check in lines do scare you upon arrival, I timed our wait and it was right at 18mins (which wasn't too bad).
Our room was on the 6th floor in the pyramid. Note: If you choose to get a room in the pyramid you only have a shower, if you want a bathtub then you have to stay in the tower for ten bucks more per night. We decided to keep the pyramid room and got a excellent spot facing the pools and the Las Vegas sunset. It was really neat because the elevators go sideways and you get to your floor pretty fast.
The room was perfect! It had a king bed and a cute Egyptian swing. Dimmed lights, mocked Egyptian paintings on the wall and carvings in the furniture. The bathroom was clean and the shower was very big. The window took up the whole wall so you had an excellent view of whatever.
Some mornings we got up and ate breakfast at the Pyramid Cafe. WOW is all I can say. Your mouth will drop with the amount of food you get. We couldnt even eat it all. Anything we ordered afterwards we split. We ate at the Pharoh's Pheast buffet. It was cool. It's what you would expect at any buffet establishment. We got to enjoy one evening at the Luxor Steak House. It was a little on the high end but it had very tasteful food and a relaxing atmosphere.
I didn't gamble too much here. My only ugh was all the casino tables started at $10 or more. So if you are on a gambling budget or don't know what you are doing at the tables, unless luck is on your side you will loose you money very quick! (I did win $300 in a Wheel of Fortune slot machine.)
As soon as I got back I told all my friends about the Luxor. This is where I will be staying on future trips to LAs Vegas. Checkout my pictures and I hope this review helped
