Inspired to write a recent review given in my opinion there is a lot of misconception and negativity about Luxor. We stayed over Memorial Day weekend for (4) nights and overall enjoyed our stay. Our room was a Tower 1BR suite (not elite suite which is even bigger) and had a king bed, small dining table, sink, mini fridge, espresso maker, armchair, coffee table and couch. It did NOT have a pull out sofa bed (if planning more than 2) or a microwave, and did not have a standard coffeemaker (just the espresso maker). The room was plenty spacious and the bathroom and closet were both quite big with a separate tub and a separate walk in shower, and double vanity, and ironing board.
The room was clean and fine for us. I would recommend staying in a TOWER vs a PYRAMID room as everyone seems to agree the tower is more updated and newer. We stayed in the silver west side, which is closer to Excalibur and NYNY, but further from the pool and Mandalay Bay, the opposite is true for gold east side. Either way the walk is really not that far (less than 7 minutes) and there is a tram which goes to Mandalay or Excalibur, but again the walk is easy to either. We had no issues with air conditioning which some had said they did with pyramid rooms. The room and our floor was quiet the whole time, could have been since we were on the 19th floor so even street noise was not bad- would recommend asking for higher up if this is a concern. Taxis are available 24/7, it is $21ish to airport, 17$ and up for going to Bellagio or elsewhere on strip. It is easy to walk to NYNY, MGM, and even PH or Paris, or you can go to the MGM monorail station.
Foodwise we have no complaints- it is Vegas Strip so nothing will be “cheap” but the portions are quite large, i.e. we had the Pharaoh Breakfast for $25 was plenty of food for 2 people. You could even do a $23 Cuban sandwich for a quick lunch for 2 people. Expect everything to fall into the $20-25 range for burgers chicken tenders and a bit more for fajitas tacos etc. We didn’t drink much, expect Bud Light to be $10-11, imports more and well cocktails 10+, more for premium. Starbucks is everywhere, and so are little convenience stores and grab and go shops.
The pool we enjoyed. On a Thursday before Memorial day it was not too crowded and plenty of chairs (in the sun which were free, in the shade were you had to reserve and pay). Plenty of free towels as well.
Now to the nitty gritty- is the Luxor as new, modern, or bright as Bellagio, Aria, or Cosmopolitan? No. It is not for you if you expect the newest and greatest. Parts of the casino are quite dark and the signage is a bit dated- feels like more like a 90’s casino in parts than a modern one. But for the price we found it well worth it.

Ive always wanted to stay here, even though its one of the lower end places on the strip. Here are the pros/cons.
Checking in was easy and the lady who assisted us went above and beyond! She was so helpful and friendly.
We stayed in one of the towers and our room was surprisingly nice. Spacious room, big bathtub, separate shower. Terrible view, could only see the other tower, but no big deal. Clean other than a long black hair wrapped around the shampoo pump. Yuck. Another gripe is that the housekeepers didnt come clean or even drop off fresh towels.
The pool complex was closed except for one pool. Which was a bummer. But worth the walk (or tram ride) to go to the pool at Mandalay.
Walking throguh the casino you get scammed by the beauty products people and the time share people and that is super annoying.
Oh! And the elevators were sketchy! We were on the 11th floor and the button for that floor in at least half the elevators didnt work, so we would have to get on another to get to our floor.
We did the "all inclusive" thing, not sure it was worth it. Having resort fees/parking included was a bonus. Got show tickets, chose Blue Man Group, it was okay, but would never pay to go see that. Food included was limited to certain restaurants (some of which weren't open the days we were there) and limited menus. My honest opinion would be to not do it and go eat what and where you want. Might be a good deal for some. But my expectations were much higher.
All in all staying at Luxor wasnt a bad experience, but the all inclusive thing could have been better.

$35.38 in resort fees for two nights including taxes… honestly, hard to complain. That’s still cheaper than the $45 per night just in resort fees, plus $20 a night for parking. At $177.42 total, everything included, I thought it was a pretty decent deal for Las Vegas.
The room was super clean, everything was easily accessible (Vegas being Vegas), and I really liked the easy check-in process and the ability to access both the parking lot and room with my cellphone. That honestly should be the standard in every hotel by 2026.
Of course, they’ll make some money back elsewhere — breakfast was very basic, overpriced, and honestly not very good. The hotel also smelled like cigarettes at times, which reminded me why I don’t always enjoy staying in Vegas for long periods.
Some people call the place outdated, but for my budget, I thought it was perfect. Affordable, conveniently located just a stone’s throw from the other resorts, the Strip, and the airport. Just keep in mind that prices can jump dramatically on weekends and holidays. Also, the pool area is being renovated, so closed for now.

Stayed in a premium tower room for a few nights. Big, clean and nice looking room. Bathrooms really nice and good water pressure. Comfy and quite soft bed. Only downside is the sheet had rip in it. Friendly staff and helpful, when you could find them. Food court food is grossly overpriced and not fresh but that’s not directly against the casino. Tram to mandalay and Excalibur. Close to mgm and New York. Far south strip and a bit quieter than in the center strip. More my style.

My wife and I, and a few friends recently took a trip to Vegas where we stayed at the Luxor Hotel. Firstly, The building design has always intrigued me and the atmosphere definitely has an Egyptian feel to it. Overall, the rooms are decent. I do think they could remodel them to fit the Egyptian theme, but it is what it is. I will say, staff (room service) was very prompt in the morning! They accommodated everything we asked for very promptly! The downside about the stay is how the rooms are setup. Which can only be b/c of the design of the hotel itself. It felt like we had to walk 1.5 miles just to get to the elevators! The fact that MOST rooms don't have a microwave or fridge was a little frustrating.
My only other gripe was how far the hotel is off the strip. Which isn't necessarily a BAD thing, but the tram services should definitely run the whole course of strip w/o cost...but....it's Las Vegas...so there's trade-offs!
Nonetheless, I would stay again, just make sure you bring good shoes lol.
