3.5 stars.
The Husband and I stayed here for a few days while he was on business. There are good and bad things about the Luxor, and I think it's right in the middle of the hotel options on the Las Vegas strip.
Pros:
- The Titanic and Bodies Exhibits right in the lobby.
- A Starbucks by each of the elevators.
- A walking bridge to the Excalibur which leads to a walking bridge to the MGM Grand and Tropicana so you don't have to hit the strip to go to other hotels.
- Connected to the Mandalay Bay by tram or indoor shopping center.
- Cheap rates (most of the time).
- Free wifi.
- Close to the airport which cuts down on taxi/lyft/uber fares.
Cons:
- Other than the Pyramid and the Sphinx out front, no "theme" or cool Egyptian things inside of the hotel. Just a bunch of slot machines.
- Very minimal restaurant options. There is one or two restaurants and that's it. The closest places to eat are in the shops on the way to the Mandalay Bay or the Excalibur Food Court.
- The restaurants they do have aren't notable, good or famous in any way.
- Rooms are very basic. Our carpet in our room was damaged, the light in the closet wouldn't go off, and the shower had no pressure.
- Electrical outlets in the rooms are very limited.
I have stayed at the Luxor now twice and would come back here to stay again. Rooms are just fine and I LOVE the Titanic and the Bodies Exhibits. I also like how it's attached to a few other hotels so I don't always have to go out on the strip to walk around.
