The Luxor is not so bad and it's not so good either. To start the inclinators (elevators) are rickety and shabby. The rooms look cool upon first seeing them but upon closer inspection may not be that great. Ours for example had several defects. The bathroom door was damaged by moisture near the floor and there was a big dent in the wall near the entrance. The armoire showed signs of wear and even deterioration from moisture. The shower walls have no place to put your shampoo etc - just a soap holder which the soap always slipped off of. The towels never smell fresh - they either smell over dried or bleached. The halls always had stuff outside of messy people's rooms like bottles and glasses and food trays. There was even broken glass. The hotel cleaning people did not clean up the mess fast at all. Some of the stuff was out in the hall for two to three days! Ugh! Worst of all perhaps was the fact that our room was never really cool - probably due to the side of the hotel we were on and how the sun hits it - but still they did not provide good enough AC to remedy the problem.
The casino area is not that great looking. The lobby is real cool and so is the entrance through the big sphinx. The monorail service is convenient but really slow and it does not always stop at The Luxor. It goes to Excalibur and Mandalay.
Parking is a problem on some nights but they open an overflow lot. The hallway from the lot to the hotel is not air conditioned and it does not have the moving walkways that many Las Vegas hotels have.
I would give The Luxor two stars if it were not for the cool "Temptations" gay pool party they have on Sundays. Great ambience and cool music. If you get there before two the entrance is free but after two it costs $20 :( We got in free!!!!
