Luxor Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV - Reviews and Hotel Information

Check In, on Sunday afternoon, was a MESS! I waited in a zig-zag line for WELL over an hour! When I got to the desk, eventhough I was told (over the phone when planning my trip) a cashiers check was acceptable payment, it was NOT! They sent me (lugging my HEAVY suitcases across the casino) to the cashiers cage, to get cash for payment (I diddn't PLAN to use a credit card for payment, I wish I had). I supposedly, upgraded my SMALL spa suite, to a LARGE spa suite & was disappointed. I expected a couch, coffee table, BIG TV & a view - to lounge around after a full day of site-seeing. Instead, I got a small table, with 2 wobbly chairs around it (very uncomfortable), a 27 inch TV (that was SMALL, when viewing from the bed) & a view of "THE Hotel's" air conditioners. The suite (if you can call it that) was VERY spartan indeed (I wonder how their Small spa suite was furnished) - CLEAN (good housekeeping daily), but NOT worth the $200 per night I spent. I loved the hot tub (VERY relaxing), but diddn't spend very much time in my room at all, during my trip.

The worst part of my stay, was having to zig-zag my way through the casino, avoid the ongoing construction project (that completely closed off the center of the casino) several times a day, just to get to & from my room. After getting lost MANY times (inside the casino), having to ask directions from employees (who would point & say that-a-way) & retracing my steps often, due to BAD signage (that diddn't take construction into account) I finally got to know my way around, by the END of my 4 night stay.

The Inclinators were a hassle also! I was on the 10th floor & was not expecting a motion ride on every trip. People told me they were no big deal, believe me, THEY WERE! Having to hug the right wall at the start of the ride, then the left wall as the ride stopped, in order to keep from falling over, almost made me ill. The motion rides (excluding the inclinators) were LAME & outdated. The shops had all the same stuff (if you had seen one of them, you saw them all). The Carrot Top show was WAY too expensive, but always sold out, go figure...

Even with these few problems I still had a good stay. The location (being at the far side of the strip) was GREAT!! Everything (except Mandalay Bay) was to the North & 5 hotels within easy walking distance. The valet parking was very useful & the staff very friendly (other than the lady who wouldn't accept my cashiers check). The Best part, was that the Poker Room was within sight of my inclinator. I'd finish every night with their midnight poker tourney (gobbling many free drinks) & wobble my way to my room without a problem.

I chose the Luxor because I am very interested by the Egyptian theme, BUT I hear that they are getting RID of that, in the VERY near future! Glad I got to see it (at least what was left of it, half way gone) before they completely get rid of the theme.
