| - Just stayed at the Luxor this past weekend. I was a little nervous after reading a lot of mixed reviews, but figured, it's just a room, so how bad can it be.
We ended up having a pretty great experience there. Checked-in later Friday night, it was 11pm, and no line to check in. We used the North entrance because that is the Tower Room Check-In. We had gotten a decent offer from the hotel, so we were staying in a tower room. We requested a smoking, king-bed room and after reminding the woman of that, we were upgraded to a suite-sweet! Our room was really nice. I know it was recently updated(past few years). 6th floor, nice size and set-up. Flat screen t.v. on wall, soaker tub with stand-up shower in bathroom, Bath & Body Works products in the bathroom that smelled yummy, and a wet bar in the room with a mini-fridge and a coffee set up. My biggest complaints:
crappy lighting in the rooms, scratchy sheets on the bed and the casino is being renovated-which on one hand is great because there's already lots of new restaurants and more modern bars/lounges, but there were several parts of the casino roped off that you had to walk around, so it's a little annoying, but I didn't really care.
We were in the West tower, so it's a little bit of a walk to get to the casino/restaurants, but everywhere is a long walk in those casinos because of their size, but this might not be great for some people I guess. One plus, the Spa and Pool entrance are right off the West tower, so that would be convenient!
The Valet guys at the North entrance were all really great and friendly and remembered my husband's name half way through the weekend-that was a nice touch!
So, all in all, we had a pretty nice experience here. It's on the strip, affordable, clean, connected to Mandalay Bay and is catering to a 20-30 something crowd now!
I'd stay here again if given another good deal!
