It was our first visit to Vegas (not one I wish to repeat in a hurry). We chose the Luxor because of its reputation of being one of the best hotels, OH DEAR!!!! It is badly in need of a facelift. The room was big and we had a spa suite in the pyramid (the spa bath was great at the end of a grulling day). The room was dingy and the decor horrible, carpets need at the very least cleaning. The carpets in the corridors were all puckered and looked like they needed refitting. The staff were very hands off. There is no tea/coffee making facility in the room and ours had no fridge either (although my daughtes did). The sitting area in the room contained a small round table and 2 dining chairs and that was all. The buffet was good and staff in there very nice. After 7 nights I was glad to be going home. If you are going stay further into the strip, pay a bit more for the Bellagio, Ceasars, Venitian or Winn. These are all perfectly placed. Feel a bit ripped off to be honest a lot of money for an average hotel, its living on its past rep I'm afraid.

The Luxor is one of the most famous hotels so seemed appropriate to stay there and we got a great deal! Overall, this is a great hotel. Staff and concierge are very friendly and helpful and although the check in queue can get long, it seems to go down quite quickly.

Just a few notes, it is now their off season and so one of the pools and the pool snack bar is now closed. However, the larger pool is still open as well as the bar and there are plenty of food places inside. Please be careful with your stuff though; there are signs up saying if you leave a sun lounger unattended for an hour it will be assumed to be free. We left ours for 30 mins to grab something for lunch (as the pool snack bar was closed) and came back to find not only the towels removed but also our guide book, sun cream and water bottles thrown in the bin!! Wish they had put so much dedication to cleaning our room as there were a couple of days when we didn't get clean towels etc.

Rooms are quite dark, as lighting is low, I think it is the theme? They are spacious though and have everything you need. Although you are at one end of the strip, you can walk / get a tram to most places and get taxis back if you're tired. Overall we had a great experience here and think we got a lot for our money.

Our group choose the Luxor for our Oct 28-31 stay because of its affordability. We stayed on the 22nd floor in the pyramid in a spa suite that featured an in room Jacuzzi, two queen beds, separate sitting room and a huge bathroom. The accommodations were spacious and nearly half of the price of a comparable room elsewhere in Vegas. There are some trade offs that came with the cheap prices. The pyramid is need of a lot of upkeep. While the building and grounds are clean they are not as “polished” as other strip properties. Peeling paint and wall paper could be found in public areas of the hotel as well as some other visual detractors. Some of the signs posting floor numbers in the elevators areas appeared to have been ripped off the walls. Rust and calcium was evident around plumbing fixtures. The guest room furniture was far from new, the tables and the armoire had many dings, scratches and the venire was pealing. The carpeting was worn and was stained in more than a few places. The interior of the inclinators showed their age with many scratches, dents and cracks in the mirrored interior. I think that most people would be turned off by the condition of the facilities. The pool area is nice but can be become very cramped on a warm day. The staff was helpful. House keeping was very efficient. The breakfast buffet was great. Overall the Luxor is a good regular small town hotel but not in the same league as the other MGM/Mirage hotels.

Just returned from our 1st trip for Vegas - for my husband's 30th birthday. Booked our travel package (airfare & room at The Luxor) via Travelocity. We picked the Luxor mainly because the price was right, but also because my husband - a vintage t-shirt aficionado - has an old t-shirt from the Luxor. Were always curious about it based on that. (Yes, a weird reason to pick a hotel.)

Check-in process was smooth for a Saturday early-afternoon- no lines at all. We requested a non-smoking room with a king-size bed. Our room was on the 12th floor of the pyramid, but all the way down the hall from the inclinator (Luxor's "elevator") - a very far walk. (We're both young and able-bodied, but walking to and from the inclinator got annoying after a while.) Our view was of Mandalay Bay hotel and one of their parking lots.

The entire hotel had a very dark feel - not a lot of windows, natural light, etc. - very tomb-like, as would be appropriate for a pyramid. They had quite a bit of construction going on inside the casino/lobby area. Several fountains were non-functioning, and a good-sized area of the casino/lobby was blocked off for construction. Not noisy, just a bit obtrusive.

Our room was a nice size, and very clean. As others have posted, the rooms are a bit dated, but not horribly so. The bathroom was very nice - a big shower, granite counter top, yummy smelling toiletries. The bed was comfortable, and we had plenty of pillows. Not a lot of "wow" factor when we first walked in, but the marvel of being in Vegas for the first time made up for that.

Never did make it to the pool - too much to do this trip. Check-out process was just as smooth, and the staff double-checked to be sure we were awarded the dining and drink credits that were included with our package, without our having to remind them.

Since it was our first trip, we weren't sure of the layout of The Strip - distances to and from each hotel/casino, etc. In retrospect, The Luxor seemed very far from the "heart" of The Strip - a bit too removed from the hustle and bustle for our liking. Once we had left the hotel for the day to explore, it really didn't seem like an option to run back to the hotel to change, freshen up, etc.

We'll definitely be back to Vegas, but next time will stay at another hotel in a more central part of The Strip.
