With a name like Luxor you would think that this place would be more luxurious. It is actually about as 'no frills' as it gets on the Las Vegas strip. It is an okay place to stay if in need of just a basic room. It just isn't the place to stay if you want to have the full Vegas experience.
I stayed here when I recently visited Vegas, and my room was facing the Sphinx in the front. I could see part of the strip, but had a great view of the race track across the street. It was cool to see the rally races, but I was woken up by the racing almost every morning I was here. Apparently the windows aren't very sound proof and I was able to hear their engines and exhausts from across the street and 19 floors up. There is really nothing special about the rooms themselves, and they are on the smallish side. My room was slanted on the window side because of the shape of the building, which made it feel even smaller. The only cool thing about the room was the awesome pyramid shaped soaps in the bathroom.
The casino area of the Luxor is not very big. There are some restaurants and attractions, but nothing special. I hardly spent any time here when I left my room, and found myself visiting other casinos a lot. The other thing that I didn't like about the Luxor is that it is at the edge of the West side of the strip. I had to take a cab almost everywhere I wanted to go because of the location.
The Luxor is a decent place to stay if just in need of a room. There are not a lot of fun things to do here, so I would stay at another hotel if I wanted a more complete Las Vegas experience.
