| - What can I say? I guess I expected more.
Nothing like a Memorial Day weekend to experience Las Vegas in all of its glory. Wall to wall people, having a good time, throwing drinks back and losing money. Our stay started with a quick checkin. I booked the tower as I read it was the most recently renovated and newer rooms (as opposed to the pyramid). The elevators where off the beaten path and half of the buttons didnt work on our floor. The room was less than spectacular. The hardware showed age and there was some tarnish present. The TV was horrid, but who really comes to Vegas to watch TV? If anything the room served its purpose....To keep you out of it. The bed was comfortable, no issues there. And everything worked. The Luxors price point is one of the lowest on the strip, if anything it makes for decent and affordable accommodations. On non-holiday weekends its insane how low it cost.
As far as the casino and entertainment goes, I cant speak much for it, because we spent time elsewhere. The Luxor had to have been the least populated joint of all the strip hotels that weekend.
The only saving grace was that it was a quick (and oh so air conditioned) walk to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur (the latter of which suffers from a similar aura of blandness).
It was cheap, and for a good reason. Id look elsewhere if you'd like the full package (gaming, dining, entertainment) in one resort. However, if you dont mind a short walk it makes for a very affordable place to crash at nigh.
