Luxor Hotel and Casino - Hotel Reviews from across the web
No title - expert review Welcome to the land of the Egyptians - Vegas style. This modern world wonder is topped with a xenon light beam that burns brighter than any other in the world and can be seen from anywhere in the valley at night; for that matter, it's even visible from space. The exterior is made with 13 acres of bl... fodors.com
No title - expert review Another hotel that thrills us to our very kitsch-worshipping souls. How happy you, who share our aesthetic taste - or lack thereof - will be when you behold the main hotel, a 30-story onyx-hued pyramid, complete with a really tall 315,000-watt light beam at the top. (Luxor says that's because the Eg... frommers.com
No title - expert review This property can stack nine Boeing 747s in its 350-foot-tall pyramid’s 29-million-square-foot atrium, which is encased in some 11 acres of glass. It is named after upper Egypt’s most exotic tourist destination and stays true to its theme. Kids love the trilogy of participatory adventures ... gayot.com

Not perfect, but the mood is one of a kind - user review After I made a series of Vegas visits last year (partly to see Celine Dion and Elton John in action), I once again stayed away for a while. In fact, I stayed away not only from Vegas, but just about everywhere except home. I dec... epinions.com
Love the Luxor - user review Call me crazy (okay not so fast) but a black glass pyramid with a giant blue and gold sphinx guarding the valet parking area, is one of the most tastefully done casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. Tasteful because it does not have ... epinions.com
Nice but ... - user review Check in (3 PM) The airport shuttle dropped us off at the front door and we lugged our luggage up the escalator to get to the main registration and found ourselves in a sea of about 100 people checking in. Although 12 or s... epinions.com
Try something different - user review I am able to go to Las Vegas about 4 times a year. This is one of my favorite places on the strip.Luxor is shaped like a giant black pyramid all the walls are slanting and all the rooms (in the pyramid) also have angled ... epinions.com
Luxor: worth the trip (the Great Hotel Write Off) - user review I have been to Vegas a few times and my stay at the Luxor was one of the best. I found a great deal on Luxor's main web site, http://www.luxor.com, for a 2 night stay at $70 a night. I have seen many different deals on the... epinions.com
Tired of the Ordinary, Enter the Extraordinary - user review Located towards one end of the strip between Mandalay Bay and Excalibur the Luxor is a sight to behold. This hotel is pure fantasy from the inside out. THEME From the moment I walked into the Luxor from the moment I ... epinions.com
Vegas for First Timers a Good Place to Start - user review My wife and I made our first trip to Las Vegas just before the commencement of my law school career (figuring travel time would be scarce for the next few years). We looked at some cheap deals for off strip and north strip pr... epinions.com
Enjoyed Luxor Stay - user review My wife and I stayed at the Luxor from Dec. 24 28 for four nights. This was our first time in Las Vegas and we booked through BelAir Direct with hotel and flight from Toronto for $1700 CAN for the two of us (direct flight). I... epinions.com
Men in BLUE? - user review NOTE:I was advised by a 'Travel' category representative to place this show review under the Casino the show was done in. This review is not about the Luxor as a Hotel/Casino, but rather about one of the... epinions.com
So Vegas: Conspicuous consumption - user review The Luxor can literally be seen from anywhere on the strip, and apparently as far as outer space! A huge light beacon sits on the top of a gigantic glass pyramid that makes up most of the Luxor complex; an MGM Mirage casino fini... epinions.com
Luxorious Luxor - user review The Luxor is a very beautiful hotel and casino, on par with many of the 4 hotels at 3 prices. Weekdays were only $59 but the weekend went up a considerable amount, $99 for Friday and $199 for Saturday night. I had been plannin... epinions.com
Stay at the Luxor before it is too late! - user review The Luxor was a great experience for me. I had stayed at the Monte Carlo and Stratosphere in the past and wanted to try a different casino this time around. I have friends living there and relatives and try to stay someplace di... epinions.com
Awe inspriring Pyramid with tomb like room at Luxor Las Vegas - user review Vacation Time We just got back from vacation in Las Vegas. We brought along a friend to watch our 2 children. We decided on the Luxor because we heard it was child friendly and somewhat upscale. We're not snobs but w... epinions.com
The Luxor Does Not Equal Luxurious - user review We stayed at the Luxor hotel for 5 nights in February, 2001. Based on an Egyptian theme it is really a unique hotel but it can't compare to many others in Las Vegas! As soon as you get near it you see a bright blue beam of lig... epinions.com
Pounded in the Pyramid Luxor? Suxor! - user review Why yet another Luxor review on Epinions Because if I can keep one person from making a reservation here its worth the time to write it! On our recent Vegas trip (Sep 04) we thought wed try the Luxor. Weve stayed at man... epinions.com
Rooms - user review A lot of stains on the rug. The room had handicapped facilities that we did not ask for nor need them. And since we weren't used to them, they felt a little uncomfortable. 12 dollars for a 30 second long distance call can happen only in Vegas Traveler's tip on local attractions.There's a lot to do. ... expedia.com
Looking for comfort? Look somewhere elase... - user review As impressive as it is on the outside, it is poor from within. Actually, it not an hotel but a casino where they give you a room to stay. There are huge lines everywhere be ready to spend an hour waiting for your turn for breakfast. The rooms are mildly comfortable not more than 3 stars elsewhere. B... expedia.com
Fabulous Room upgrade !! - user review Check in line was long but I received a fabulous room upgrade. The suite I received was super! Nice pool area, good casino, above average spa area. Breakfast buffet would benefit from carved meats station. Fantasy show is outstanding. Would like to see all casino workers a bit friendlier and more pe... expedia.com

A great deal! - user review I stayed at this hotel for 4 days with a friend of mine, and we were very impressed. We got such a low rate that we weren't expecting much when we go there. But the room was in great shape, the tub and shower were huge, the beds were comfortable (especially after a long night of Vegas partying!), an... expedia.com
Will stay there again. - user review I thought this was a very nice place to stay. The people who worked there in all areas were extremely nice and helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean as was the service. Since I had read the previous reviews prior to my trip, I knew what to expect. Restaurants were nice but pricey. I did not ca... expedia.com
I expected more from this hotel - user review I was not impressed by this hotel at all. We specifically requested a special room for our anniversary but when we got there, the room was not available. The next day, we had to move to the other room. After waiting a 1/2 hour for a bell hop, we decided to haul our luggage ourselves. The hotel is ve... expedia.com
Really Not Impressed - user review If this is what a four star hotel is like, then I think the grading process needs to be improved. The hotel room I stayed in was in the pyramid. It was an okay room, the King size bed was comfortable but we only had three flat pillows and had to wait for almost two hours before they brought us the e... expedia.com
Really?!?! It’s Considered 4 Stars?!!? - user review I'm just surprised it's considered a 4 star hotel. Our hotel room and stay was average. The room was clean. I hated the fact the small windows were slanted due to the pyramid shape which didn't allow you to look down unless it's far away. I also didn't like the fact the inside of the hotel was conca... expedia.com
Great place to Stay at a very good price - user review It must be one of the best looking hotels at the Strip, prices were great, but I do have to mention the bad things about it. Plan ahead on spending a good 45 minutes for checking in, there is at least twenty people in line everytime we walked by, that means morning, mid day and night. hotel is so bi... expedia.com
Luxor Another five letter word for Lines - user review Let's tell it like it is: Luxor really does mean lines. Don't expect anything less than waiting at the reception desk, the buffet line, the taxi line, the bellhop line. The lines do move bit by bit, but seem insulting given how much rooms go for these days. The place has the feel of a packed cruise ... expedia.com
Terrible Service! - user review Line for check in was very long. Staff members were unable to give directions to room, restaurant, etc. Parking was ridiculously far away from check in. Location of room was very noisy. When we requested to change, staff members were rude and wanted us to bring our bags downstairs and stand in check... expedia.com
Not worth the price - user review Lines to check in were long, but not as long as the walk to your room. Once we found our room. the room was only have cleaned. It looked like someone had taken a nap in our beds. The Bathroom has this big gaudy magnifying mirror that was protruding literally by a thread from the wall. Called houseke... expedia.com
Can’t wait to go back! - user review Loved everything about this hotel except thin walls. If you are lucky enough and travel off season, you won't have any neighbors. If you do, you can hear them talking as if they are standing next to you. Otherwise, hotel has so many activities going on, such as movie theater, shows, restaurants, nig... expedia.com

Beds hard as a rock - user review The hotel is beautiful and the staff is very friendly which is very hard to come by in Las Vegas. However, at a time when hotels of this caliber are touting pillow topped beds, this hotel has cheap slabs for mattresses which makes for an extremely uncomfortable stay. In fact, we left one day early b... expedia.com
I have to go back!!! - user review The service was impeccable!!! Your needs are anticipated and accommodated. Love the pool area. Tables and slots keep you going. Easy access to the rest of Las Vegas. I have to go back!!! Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay.Rent a car if you want to see the rest of what Las Vegas has ... expedia.com

One of the Best! - user review This hotel was very clean and the staff was very professional. I had booked a standard room in the pyramid, but during check in I was informed that all the pyramids rooms were taken. So my room was upgrade to a tower room, which was large than the standard pyramid room. The bathroom was very nice, w... expedia.com
Will not be going back - user review This was my second trip to Vegas. I stayed at the Luxor the first time and did not consider any other hotel for my return trip. Boy! What a mistake! The line just to check in was over an hour long, absolutely crazy!!! Finally get checked in and to our room and it was just ok, nothing exciting. Went ... expedia.com
By No Means a 4 Star - user review Upon arriving at the Luxor, I was not greeted and no one offered to open the door or help with my bags. The main entrance opens onto a casino floor and tacky Egyptian decor. I waited in line for over 45 minutes to check in, only to find that my room was a 20 minute walk from the front desk. Once in ... expedia.com
Away from the confusion and congestion of upper Strip - user review We really enjoyed the Egyptian theme and all of the shops. As another reviewer stated, we did not know of the upstairs food court until the next day. The Starbucks are way over priced! Even the airport had cheaper prices. Our room had no heat the first night. When we called the desk, someone was sen... expedia.com
Not Impressed with hotel - user review We requested to stay in the pyramid, when we arrived it was not available, very disappointed. We were also disappointed in the overall service of the staff, not very informed. The prices at the cafe' restraunt were highly overpriced, even the ... expedia.com
Will not go back - user review We waited in line for an hour and a half at the reception desk for check in. The line to store luggage was over 15 people deep too...after a day of sitting in airports and on planes, the last thing we wanted was to stand in a huge line. If we had known the line was out the door to check in, we would... expedia.com
Luxor staff have no idea what the word service means - user review At our arrival, we were presented with a very long line at check in. This turned out to be the norm as we saw the same thing every day. We had booked a jr suite and noticed the woman checking us in noting 5 or so available rooms. She assigned us a room on the 5th floor. 10 feet outside the room is a... fodors.com
Quite a walk - user review Had a nice stay at Luxor nice room in one of the towers, pleasant staff who were more efficient than cordial perhaps. Staying at Luxor means you will have to do a fair amount of walking there is a tram, but nevertheless. I wouldnt mind staying at Luxor again, but I believe that I will choose a hotel... fodors.com
Cheap rooms, cheap experience - user review Had the opportunity to stay at the Luxor this past weekend, in a regular room in the pyramid. Room was clean but devoid of any style or ambiance. Right next to the room was some sort of service room, which the staff was entering and exiting constantly very early in the morning. Not a problem if you ... fodors.com
JUST AWFUL - pick another place - user review Just returned from a conference. Spent one night at The Luxor in a pyramid room. I would not stay there again even if the room were free. The first room (16th floor, pool view) had minimal water pressure to the point that the toilet would not flush adequately. Fortunately I found this out before I u... fodors.com
Beautiful Honeymoon!!!! - user review Me and my husband stayed here on our honeymoon and also went back for our 1st Anniversary and we are now in the process of booking the Luxor for our 2nd Anniversary. On our honeymoon room service knocked on the door about 10pm, thye were dropping off a pyramid shaped basket FULL of goodies. It looke... fodors.com
Looks like a tomb but not as quiet - user review My wife and I stayed at the Luxor for two nights in October 2005 we stayed in one of the standard pyramid rooms, because although we knew that the tower rooms were nicer we felt that it would be more fun to stay in the pyramid proper. The room itself was fine, although I would have liked a tub and n... fodors.com
Nice property, but stay in the Towers - user review Our latest visit was our third at the Luxor. The first two times we requested tower rooms, which were lovely. This latest visit was booked thru business connections, and our accomodations were in the pyramid wing. The rooms were roomy, clean & adequate, but showed wear. Bedspreads were faded, furnit... fodors.com
Great rooms, comfortable beds, really nice bathrooms - user review The Luxor is a great place to stay in Vegas. It is an exceptional value. The rooms are great and inviting and the beds are very comfortable much better than you expect from a hotel. The bathrooms are also very nice, with large showers and marble counters. I've stayed twice and had excellent service ... fodors.com
Nice stay - user review This was my second time staying at the Luxor. The first time I stayed in a tower room which was nice and good sized. This time we opted to stay in the Pyramid and even though we were offered the chance to upgrade to the Tower for a small fee. Check in this time was quick, less than five minutes. The... fodors.com
It was our first visit to Vegas and we can´t wait to go back. - user review We arrived at the hotel late after a 9 hour flight delay but even though it was 3am we were warmly welcomed and were able to grab a bite to eat before bed.

Great Las Vegas Experience - user review We went to Las Vegas last year July 2004, we loved going again this year. The Luxor is a great place to stay. We arrived and the only problems we had were we wanted a king bed and received 2 queen beds. Also, the first room we had the air conditioner didn't work, but we called and they accomodated u... fodors.com
No title - user review Aside from the room issue mentioned in number 14, there was always a lengthy wait at the front desk and they were slow and reluctant to resolve the issues regarding the terrible room.

No title - user review Compared to other 4 stars hotels in Las Vegas, this one was poor in terms of nice restaurants and bars; it has a very cheap feeling.

No title - user review I like the atmosphere here in the pyramid rooms.
