| - I've stayed at a lot of places on the Strip & was surprised how sub-par the Luxor is. It's priced in the medium/high range, but offers a low/medium tier experience, not to mention it's at the far end of the strip.
- The AC is so-so. Make sure to close the blinds on your window otherwise your room will warm up quickly & take a long time to cool off.
- Because the elevators ("inclinators") are slanted to the shape of the hotel, it's more like riding a subway car than a traditional elevator.
- Also, the elevators can make a lot more walking than you expect. Like a lot of hotels, certain elevators only go to certain floors. However, unlike a hotel where all the elevators are clustered in a centralized location, Luxor has an elevator bank in each of its four corners. Your particular elevator will only be in one of then. This means you may need to walk to the complete opposite end of the hotel to get to your elevator & once on your floor double back to complete opposite end again.
- The design of the hotel is such that the hallways of the hotel are open to the atrium. If you're on an upper floor, it can be fairly un-nerving if you don't like heights.
- There's no wireless Internet. However, they automatically charge you a "resort fee" which includes a wired one in your room.
- Check-in lines are long, but you can check-out through TV.
My advice is to stay at the Flamingo. The rooms are equivalent to slightly better, it's typically a fair bit cheaper, and better located.
