| - We loved our stay at Luxor!
I've stayed almost everywhere along the Strip, but have stayed at Luxor the most often (1st time was for 21st Bday & have stayed here half a dozen times since) It's great south Strip location and low rates make it hard not to!
We upgraded our room this time to a Pyramid Deluxe Suite on the 28th floor. We had two rooms- one with the king sized bed and oversized bath tub that looked over the Strip, and another room with a couch, refrigerator and another flat screen tv. The room was clean and modern with a TON of space- we loved it! The bathroom was a little outdated and crowded but was fine. The fan was broken but not that big of a problem. Maid service was QUICK- we'd leave for breakfast & come back and it was done. Never experienced that in any hotel throughout my travels ever.
The inclinators (elevators that don't go straight up & down- they go to the side) are in dire need of repair or just to be replaced. They were dirty, dented, scuffed, missing buttons, etc. There were some mornings I was so hungover that I didn't appreciate these inclinators going sideways but other than that no major problems.
There are a lot of food and drink options at Luxor! The buffet was ok- not as good as I remembered in years past. The guy making fresh eggs and omelets was the most popular but there was a very long line. Luxor should definitely make sure there are at least 2 people doing this on busy weekends. We enjoyed Public House- no wait on an NFL Sunday with tons of screens you can see from anywhere you sit. Also, we had a lot of fun sitting, drinking and gambling at Aurora and Centra bar. The staff were really cool to us! Tacos & Tequila is tasty, but expensive. We used a $50 voucher from our MLife MyVegas points at Rice & Company and had a very nice dinner. We actually struggled to use up the $50!
The location is awesome. A tram will take you between Excalibur & Mandalay, but if you prefer to walk there are great shops and bars along the way. Plus it's pretty close to the airport- just make sure you tell the cab driver "no tunnel!" or else they will try to screw you out of a higher fare.
What we didn't like at Luxor: the nonstop sales pitches that accost you at every entrance. We came and went so often they didn't realize they had already pitched us & we'd have to decline again. Just annoying.
Other than that we had a great experience and it was inexpensive for us. I would stay at Luxor again- in fact, just writing this makes me miss Vegas!
