Uhm....yea. I'm emphatically torn with my verdict on this hotel. I can't state that I'm much of a gambler as I tend to check in to this place simply for its aesthetics, accessibility and affordability. All 3 of which are rapidly failing to meet my expectations these days.
Unlike the rest of the hotel/casino chain, Luxor isn't located immediately within the clusterphuk of Strip traffic. It's not nearly as far down as Stratosphere or Circus Circus and parking...as I see it is easy peezy; this is star worthy.
Tackling what others have stated first however, I haven't the vaguest clue how anyone traveling to this hotel let alone any of the plethora of others could possibly have parking issues when ALL of the hotels (at least the ones located on Las Vegas Blvd specifically) offer valét parking FREE of charge.
Where does the complexity lie in pulling your car up similar to that of Jiffy Lube, stepping out, tossing your keys and grabbing a number??? I don't get it. I really don't.
What I can definitely attest to is this place going downhill faster than a spiraling turd. In the past, you used to be able to book a room using a prepaid card if not a gift card simply to secure the reservation thereon to arrive and pay in cash or using a different method.
As it appears, now it's all a bit of a PYRAMID SCAM (....see what I did there?).
Even if you book a room using the website directly or a seemingly FREE third party site, your card is debited upfront simply to "reserve" the room. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ME as prices tend to fluctuate.
How do you know if/when you've received the best deal??? If I'm left no choice but to book the room at an already astronomical rate and take notice that prices have dropped $40-50, it goes w/o stating that I'm going to be pissed that I can't cancel my reservation and rebook to obtain the lower rate!!!
To add sand to the hour glass, apparently, due to a fatality of some sort transpiring years ago, the jets within the hot tubs of this place's upper level high end suites are no longer even operable!!! Wtf, I ask, is the purpose of inoperable spa jets???
Seriously-----
If I want to soak my azz in an overpriced bucket of water I'll stay at home, take a bath and have someone grab my wallet to make it rain... That's a heck of a better option than pissing money away on this place that visibly does NOT value its patrons by correcting obvious mistakes and avoidable discrepancies. The outdated decor is just the straw that broke the camel's back (another desert reference.....)
Lord..... Don't even get me on the resort fee. Smfh. I just can't right now..... I'm much too weary. I realize it's a pretty standard fee for places like this but still.... Where is that added $25 fee being attributed?
Heaven help us here. This, as stated by Lynn T (previous reviewer) is not a cheap hotel by any means. $100+/night isn't exactly the price of a roach motel. What this place is...., is cheap in comparison.
As Kent M. touched on, so eloquently within his previous review, "checking out" is even more of a joke. The website never works for you to do so and all in all, you never really know if you're paying for an extra day or not until receiving your balance alert. I tend to just leave the keycard on the vanity and pray for the best.
In Summary:
Luxor - GET YOUR SH!T TOGETHER! There are too many options on The Strip let alone Vega$ as an entirety for you to have missed the ball on as many occasions as you're clearly comfortable doing. In the interim, I'm compelled to take my monies elsewhere.
Humble Suggestion:
Try changing your name to "TravelLodge".....WAIT, that name's taken, isn't it?
