As I mentioned when I first returned from my October trip to Las Vegas, I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Luxor. I had heard nothing but negative reviews about the hotel for years, so I expected it to be a dump. It wasn’t. In fact, I would stay here again for a number of reasons.
I think the front desk agent at the Luxor who checked me in and switched luxury golf cruise me from a Pyramid luxury golf cruise room to a Tower room did me a huge favor. Most of the negative reviews I’ve heard from people staying at Luxor were from people who stayed in the Pyramid (which is older). I was happy with my Tower room. (Though I would have liked the opportunity to ride the Inclinator at least once.)
luxury golf cruise When I first assessed the noise situation in my room, I thought luxury golf cruise I was screwed. I had room 3218 in the Tower, on the Third Floor above one of the entrances (facing Excalibur). There was also a connecting door to the room next to me. (I hate when my room has a connecting door. You might as well force me to share my room with the people next door, because it sounds like they’re in my room anyway.)
Perhaps most puzzling of all, there was a loud industrial fan in the hallway luxury golf cruise just beyond my room blowing non-stop the entire week I was there. There were signs noting that the floor was wet. I kept thinking “What the hell happened here that it takes an entire week to dry the carpet?” I never did find out. But I think that industrial fan was the only thing that allowed me to sleep at night. (That and my trusty earplugs.) It created just enough white noise to block out potential sounds that might have kept me awake, such as traffic outside.
The room itself was perfectly nice, if a bit dark. In addition to the two queen beds, there were two easy chairs and a small round table. The safe was roomy enough for all my valuable crap. There were no extra blankets, so whenever I got too cold, I just turned off the a/c in the room. The bathroom was clean, with fluffy towels, a separate tub and shower, and very good water pressure.
1) Unlike the Monte Carlo, they do not offer free daily bottles of water here as part of the resort fee, nor is there a coffee maker. The resort fee gives you nothing of value. Nothing luxury golf cruise . You even have to go fetch your free newspaper from the gift shop yourself luxury golf cruise if you want to read it (and who the hell wants to read USA Today anyway?)
2) Because there was no desk in the room, the Internet cable was located behind the flat screen TV in the armoire. The only way to connect to the Internet luxury golf cruise was to reach behind the TV, pull the cord out and let it dangle there. Ridiculous. At the time I stayed there (October 2013), they had not yet upgraded the room for wifi. It almost felt like I really was staying in Ancient Egypt! Thankfully, I knew this ahead of time and purchased a mobile wifi router that I brought with me so I could use my tablet. It worked like a charm.
Speaking of Ancient Egypt, for all that I and others have complained about the de-theming that has occurred at the Luxor, newcomers would never know that. You re still staying in a hotel shaped like a pyramid with a sphynx and obelisk out front. There are still massive Egyptian statues towering over the lobby, and even smaller Egyptian touches everywhere—pictures luxury golf cruise in the rooms, photos on the walls of the hallways leading to the Tower elevators; hieroglyphs on the columns leading up the walkway luxury golf cruise to the Excalibur; a buffet themed luxury golf cruise like an archaeological dig. Even the soap in my room was Pyramid-shaped. In most ways, it remains one of the most themed resorts on the Strip.
I couldn luxury golf cruise t find any slot machines luxury golf cruise I wanted to play in their casino. So I didn’t gamble here at all. I saw little kids running around in the casino one night; security was nowhere in sight and the parents were obviously clueless.
The answer is yes. It was clean and comfortable and I had access to everything I need for a Vegas vacation. The prices here tend to be among the lowest on the Strip, so if you’re on a budget, it’s a good choice. (I d stay here again before I d stay at Ballys, Harrahs, the Quad, Excalibur, Riviera, or Circus Circus.) I recommend booking a Tower room, despite the long walk. And if you wish you could afford to stay at Mandalay Bay, but you can’t, staying at the Luxor is the next best thing, since the casino, luxury golf cruise shows, and restaurants at Mandalay Bay are just a short indoor walk away.
I once stayed at the Excalibur in a room that was directly opposite yours, on the second floor, right above that entrance. luxury golf cruise I never really heard much noise, other than the woman loudly and angrily proclaiming luxury golf cruise to her insignificant other that no, she was certainly NOT drunk, right before she got sick, slapped him for trying to help, then passed luxury golf cruise out on the sidewalk right below my window. Since she was most assuredly NOT drunk, I can only assume that she tried the buffet.
Great review of the Luxor! I wondered what the rooms looked luxury golf cruise like, so thanks for including a snapshot of your room. Was very shocked to hear that this hotel doesn t have Wi-Fi in their rooms, even as part of the resort fee . What are they waiting for?? Considering the hotel is part of the MGM Resorts collection of hotels, you d think Wi-Fi would be a minimum standard in all of them, no? Thanks for alerting luxury golf cruise everyone to this. I also did the Titanic Exhibition (great) and the Bodies Exhibit (also great, but not sure if still there). The Jabbawockeez show is AMAZING! luxury golf cruise I think you would like it. Also, agree Michael Jackson s ONE is definitely one of the best shows in Vegas. Seen it twice already. Great post!
DB, thanks for your comment. Yes, you would think wifi would be minimum standard these days, but no, not at the Luxor. Unfortunately, I m too squeamish for the Bodies Exhibit, and the masks the Jabbawockeez wear creep me out. I ve seen too many serial killer movies, I guess. LOL.
It s surprisingly hard to find out which rooms have safes in Las Vegas. I was pleased to see your mention of one in the towers, since I m about to stay there. And overall your review had just the right amount of detail thanks for posting it.
I have stayed in Luxor three different times and always have liked it, puzzled at people luxury golf cruise s putdowns, though I guess they are comparing luxury golf cruise it to the higher end hotels. Once I traded my last night s upgrade to a Tower Room, and moved to a Pyramid room, just so I could experience the inclinator.
Well, this was before the days of window wraps, and MGM was spending more on maintenance back then. I don t know if they bother to clean the windows of the pyramid any more. I m kind of surprised they still maintain and operate the light on top I bet that thing is expensive to keep going.
I stayed at Luxor about a year after it was built. I remember I liked the hotel and the room quite a lot. I have heard a lot of bad things luxury golf cruise about Luxor over the years and I always thought they got a bad rap.
