The Luxor is obviously supposed to be dreary and gloomy since it is imitating a pyramid. But... it just doesn't work for a themed hotel/resort casino. It just feels off, especially with everything else The Strip has to offer. Even just walking through here is kind of dreadful so I just avoid the southern part of The Strip all together (sorry, Mandalay Bay!). I'd recommend staying at other hotels; the room rates may be cheaper here, but I think you can find some comparable prices at much better hotels on The Strip.
