Let's face it; there are dozens of great tips here on VT that will tell you how fabulous the Luxor is. And it really is a great hotel. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and the service is exceptional.
So I won't waste time telling you all that again. Nope, I'm going to tell you about the only two bad things I encountered during my stay.
Just so you know, I've spent more nights in Hotels than most Vegas hookers, so I have some experience with hotels. I found the Luxor to be very good, and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone looking for a good, relatively inexpensive hotel.
So without further adieu, here is the first drawback:
Drawback One - The Bathroom:
A great, big, luxurious bathroom. In the Tower portion of the hotel there is a spacious tub and a roomy shower stall. It's tiled from floor to ceiling but the walls are paper thin and allow any sounds to be easily heard from within the room.
'So what?' you say...
Well, if you're visiting Vegas on a romantic get away, the last thing you want your mate to hear is the noises of the Pharoah's Pheast leaving your body. The Luxor buffet is hard to resist, but the next morning won't be pretty.
A simple bathroom fan would have been a nice touch here. (and don't even think about a courtesy flush - not with the water-saving toilets!)
For the second drawback of the Luxor, please see the next tip...

OK, as I said in my other Luxor tip, the hotel is great and I highly recommend it... but here is the second of the two drawbacks I felt obligated to point out...
The Iron and Ironing Board:
I know many people don't care about the iron, but I consider it critical to any decent hotel to have an iron and an ironing board.
I was satisfied to see the Luxor had an easily accessible ironing board in one of the two spacious closets. (the closets have lights, too, by the way).
But my complaint with the iron is that it is an extremely cheap iron, and even more annoying, is that it is securly fastened to the ironing board with a short wire. This severely limits your ability to iron your clothes, because you can't move the iron very far. I know the Luxor pays close attention to ancient Egyptian decor, but this ancient custom of making the iron theft-proof goes just a little too far. Free the iron, Luxor! Free the iron!!
Oh, and the iron spewed water all over my dress shirt when I tried to press my shirt. Not cool.

| | | | Luxor Hotel & Casino: Grab a suite if you can... Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
Having read about peoples dreadful check in nightmares, I was concerned. Everything was fine, the reception is spacious, although a little dark, as is the whole of the pyramid. We were given the opportunity of a discounted upgrade to a suite. There were 3 of us, and it was lovely. Nice living room, and 2 seperate bedrooms either side, in East Tower. Quietest rooms I've ever stayed in, and immaculately clean. Shower was the most powerful I've ever used. I'd recommend it for the facilities, but it is right at one end of the strip and in high summer that can be a problem as it is too blooming hot to walk about.
Really good breakfast choices in food court upstairs in pyramid. Luxor Coffee Company do very nice pastries and good tea and coffee. View from our windows was of Excalibur, but could see mountains in the distance.
