Be honest. You know you want to check out the giant pyramid! Let the overgrown kid in you loose and go in, take a look. The people working the valet parking IMHO are some of the nicest valets I've used in Vegas. When you step inside remember you're in Vegas and it's OK to gawk and look around and especially look up. Yes, it's cool. Yes those are hotel rooms up there. And the elevators you take to get to those rooms are cool in their own right. But whatever you do, don't look down. The carpet like a lot of stuff in the Luxor could use a refresh. And no if you take the elevator up you can't get to the megabeam of light at the very tip of the pyramid. You can't even get close, go outside and just look up instead and save yourself the time.
I've never checked out the clubs as I'm not one of the cool kids anymore, but I just liked the overall feel of the Luxor. When I had an issue with my MGM Rewards card the staff took care of it fast. I also liked the feel of their casino better than Mandalay...I stayed longer and played more at the Luxor.
The hotel rooms need a refresh...they are barely a cut above being at a Days Inn or Motel 6, and the rooms I've been in needed some work. You might be better off looking elsewhere for a room unless you really want to say you stayed in a giant pyramid.
I definitely recommend checking out the Shoppes at Mandalay Place which connects the Luxor to Mandalay Bay. But that's another review (The sock store is AWESOME though) for another time.
One Tip: Thinking of seeing Criss Angel: Believe? Please look up the reviews for it before you do. Not all things by Cirque du Soleil are golden tickets.
3 Stars: Valet Parking is always top notch and helpful. 1 Star for service, 1 star because it's a giant freaking pyramid and it's just cool in it's own right.
