Finally catching up with my reviews and I have landed back in Vegas again for New Years weekend. Tired of seeing my Vegas reviews? Yea, I know. I live in Orange County but I have been to Vegas like about 5-6 times in 2011 and at the time of writing this review have already booking my first Vegas trip of 2012. But I am getting a head of myself...
This is my very first stay at Luxor and I mainly picked this hotel for the price. I usually get a pretty good discount whenever I stay in Vegas because I come here so frequently, but I think I got an awesome deal considering our trip was Friday to Monday over New Years weekend.
When booking the hotel, I made it a point to stay in the East Tower mainly because the Tower was built after the main pyramid which means its newer. Checked in without any problems and when I got to the room, I noticed that it had the same basic layout and furniture as in the Tower Rooms at MGM Grand. The only thing that was missing from the room which I was kinda bummed about was they didn't have an in-room safe. The only means for locking up personal items is to secure the items at the front desk. Housekeeping was great, respected the Do Not Disturb sign when up, and still cleaned the room after heading out for the day fairly late. Visited a couple of the restaurants and lounges at the hotel and was pleasantly surprised.
I think Luxor is a pretty decent Hotel especially if you look at your room more like a place to crash than to be pamper. I think you can definitely get away with an inexpensive Vegas trip by staying here and you get a lot of value for your money. If you are looking for something really nice or are use to the 5 star rooms, then you might want to pass. Overall, I enjoyed my trip and the value to price ratio definitely places Luxor in the list of hotels to consider when doing Vegas on the cheap. 3 stars!
