Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
The Egyptian pyramid one, blah-di-blah di blah....
I'll try and tell you something you don't already know.
Got conflicting advice about whether to go for a pyramid or tower room. Everyone you speak to will have their own unique opinion. Provided they tell you how they got the opinion, you should be intelligent enough to make up you own mind if they're worth listening to.
We stayed in the West Tower as we were told the rooms were refurbished only two years ago. Was expecting something quite cheap & tacky, but we were more than satisfied. Room was reasonably classy with full on view of the pyramid - mountain ranges peeked through a gap between the main buildings. Two huge double beds (so technically a room for 4, if you're into that sort of thing) and a bathroom you could have played badminton in.
Pool was a little disappointing - 3ft deep with floaty things, and my complimentary visit to the Spa was the shortest ever when I found out that instead of sharing a steam room with some topless revue girls, it was men-only and most were naked.
Also, the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is not the bargain most people make out. This is a classic tourist "rose-tinted glasses" case, and it cost us $25 (for two) for a very average quality breakfast (for food and most definitely service) - we were paying $35 to $40 in some of LA's top hotels and restaurants a couple of days earlier. Places that would make this spread look more at home in a motorway service station.
Was expecting this place to be pretty tacky, but it was surprisingly classy. For a major theme hotel on the strip, I doubt you will get a better deal than the Luxor. Obviously one of the reasons is that aside from the Mandalay Bay it is furthest south, but plentiful taxis (about $10 to the Bellagio) and the Monorail take care of that problem.
That said, if I came back, I would probably stay mid-strip in say the Paris or Venetian, and if we couldn't afford them, The Flamingo, just to be nearer the action.
If you're young and just want to party then look no further than The Hard Rock, or The Palms. Both a taxi ride from The Strip, but let's face it, even The Strip can be a taxi ride away from The Strip. Leave a Comment

The Luxor is the hotel I stayed in most of the time with my son in 1998, and it stands out in many ways, though I haven't stayed there again, yet.
The location was great for someone with a 14 year old boy, who was totally impressed with the large and luxurious room, with a view of neighboring Excaliber.
Want to stay here again, maybe on the trip I promised my son for his 21st birthday (in April!)
We stayed in one of the Tower rooms, which aren't as popular as the Pyramid rooms, mostly because the ones in the pyramid part are accessed by a unique "inclinator" elevator, that goes up slant-wise.
However the Tower rooms are newer, larger and have a big, beautiful bathroom with a bathtub as well as a shower. Beds very, very comfortable.
The Luxor was a great place to stay with a teen, as it had a very nice arcade (at least at the time it did) with easy access to kid-friendly (at the time) places like Excaliber, NYNY (my son loved the magic shop and Coney Island arcade) and MGM.
The pool was nice, but there were no waterslides or anything fancy.
When we moved to lower echelon Gold Coast for the weekend, my son said, "I want our Luxor back."
I think our room price for the weekdays we stayed was about $79 a night. As all hotels, great variation in price depending on time of week, year, how book, etc. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: On the South End of the Strip.

It's a giant pyramid with the world's brightest light shining out of the top. OK, there are rooms in the tower, too, but the pyramid is pretty cool. The rooms are actually fairly ordinary, but the rest of the hotel and casino is anything but! We found this to be one of the nicer looking casinos on the Strip and there is so much to see and do around the hotel you *could* spend your whole trip inside (but don't!).
The Luxor has a great pool area with 5 swimming pools, most with a whirlpool or two adjoining. Our room, on the west side of the pyramid, looked out over the pool (nice) and a parking structure (not so nice), and beyond to the mountains (very nice, especially at sunset). The Oasis Spa is a paradise and well worth some of your hard-earned (or won) money.
This picture is of the Attractions Level, where you'll find a few shops, the I-MAX theater, a huge video arcade, a food court, and -- due to be completed later in 2003 -- a wedding chapel. Leave a Comment

The Luxor is an Egyptian themed hotel on the south end of the Strip. Its pretty easy to recognize with its pyramid structure and mammoth pharoah sculpture on the exterior.
The Luxor is the location for seeing the highly recommended Blue Man Group. As Vegas Strip hotels go, prices are on the more affordable end and rooms seemed pretty nice. I didn't end up staying here, but I looked into it and it seemed like a cool place to lodge for a couple of nights.
The lower level of the Luxor is its non-gambling entertainment center. Being a non-gambler, I enjoyed this area. There are several virtual rides, an IMAX theatre and a walk through exhibit of King Tut's Tomb which has some interesting artifacts (I'll explain more aboiut that one in a separate tip). On this lower level, you'll also find the Chapel at Luxor, should you have the urge to get married after experiencing the motion sickness of those rides or the opulence of King Tut.
Luxor has about a dozen restaurants, as every large Las Vegas Strip hotel is required to do, ranging from fairly pricey to inexpensive. The Pharoah's Pheast Buffet is another eating option.
The decor, in scale as well as design, the entertainment area and the elevators which are on an incline due to the strucure of the building Leave a Comment
