“Overall, I had a very good stay at the Luxor. The hotel and casino staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout my visit. Justin Prince, one of the managers, was the MVP of my stay. My original room had a view of a giant wall, but Justin was able to move me to a much nicer room overlooking the pool, which made a huge difference. Alice at the front desk was also excellent and quickly resolved an issue with missing food and beverage credits at…”
“Always enjoy a stay in the Luxor, especially the newer Towers portion of the casino. The Pyramid portion of the casino is great and all, but some of the best value and great rooms are found in the Tower. Much nicer and newer rooms than the Pyramid portion of the hotel. The rooms are also much quieter as well. Overall though another great stay; friendly staff, a clean and great room, and plenty of food options and fun to be found in Luxor and the immedia…”
“Day1: So far so bad. You check yourself in, you create your own room key, you're your own bell hop. King room is two queens. Horrible start to our anniversary. ,, they call 2 queen beds an upgrade from a King bed. Nobody shows you where to go, may as well be following signs at an airport., trying to find info on walls. When you ask someone near check in they tell you all the info is in the text, no positive interaction, no smile. Hair in every corner …”
“The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the shower heated up quickly. Having an iron in the room was nice too! Unfortunately, when it rained, we had leaks in three different areas, and the room felt muggy. No microwave was a big disappointment, especially since there was nowhere to heat up our own food. Check-in and check-out were easy, but our room wasn't ready even though we arrived after check-in time. Overall, some good things, but definite…”
“### ⭐⭐ 2/5 — Absolutely Not Worth the Money Our stay at the Luxor was extremely disappointing and honestly unacceptable for a major Las Vegas resort. The room was missing **basic amenities you would expect at almost any decent hotel**. There was **no refrigerator and no microwave**, which is especially ridiculous for a room at this price point. To make matters worse, the **telephone in the room didn’t work**, and **several electrical outlets were comple…”
