I'm here for a company sales meeting which was held at Mandalay Bay. When I found out they put me at the Luxor, I read the reviews on Yelp and called the corporate travel folks and used my considerable executive clout to get moved to MB. When that didn't work, I used my unending charm. When that didn't work, I cried like a little girl.
So, upon checking in to the Luxor, I braced for the worst and got...much better, thank you. The room is quite nice. Tub AND shower. The bed wasn't bad at all although a pillow upgrade would have been an improvement.
They had $10 blackjack tables even at night and in the bar near the entrance to the LAX nightclub, they have a $10 table in a nice sofa setting. I was in awe of paying $10 for a G&T and a buddy of mine paid $6 for a Red Bull chaser. Ouch. But you can watch the natural and man-made wonders waiting to enter the club. Surprisingly, even on a Wednesday night there was a line to get in.
The hotel covers a lot of ground. I wasn't thrilled with the walk from the room to the casino.
The reviews here lead you to believe that this place is a complete dump. I didn't find it that way at all. After walking through the Wynn and MB, it does feel a little rough around the edges but certainly workable for low-rollers like me.
