An alright experience for a cheaper place in the thick of the strip. The Luxor looks pretty slick from the outside, inside its pretty bare bones. The architecture is neat, but in comparison to other hotels they do a poor job with making it feel Egyptian inside.
On the plus, its in a pretty active area of the strip. Its conveniently connected to Mandalay Bay and close to a lot other nice hotels/casinos.
The rooms were pretty up-to-date. However, two downsides to the room:
(1) The air conditioning was pretty blah. Granted, it was 110 outside so maybe that had something to do with it. The problem is that the room never got as cool as I'd like.
(2) The other problem was that anytime you flushed the toilet the room would smell like fart for a few moments. Obviously there was a sewage problem. My philosophy on that is if my room must smell like fart, I'd like to be doing the farting and not the sewage pipes. Its just common courtesy.
So overall, for the money I was fine with the experience. To me, the Luxor was a conveniently located place to sleep at night. I'd stay here again if all I wanted was a place to rest at night. I'd look elsewhere if I wanted more.
