After a good night's sleep and our first lie-in since Canada, we headed out into Las Vegas to search for a replacement for the memory card I had lost back in California. Unfortunately, a combination of a lack of any breakfast in the hotel, baking heat, busy streets and people constantly trying to sell us show tickets contrived to put us in a bad mood which was only aggravated by our failing to find the shop we'd been directed to. Having had to trek back to the hotel, back to the car and drive...

Having spent the night in dusty Lone Pine (complete with tumbleweeds), we got up early to have a quick look at the Picture Rock loop before we set off for Death Valley. This area was only 5 minutes out of town into the Alabama Hills but took in some pretty spectacular scenery which they apparently used to film lots of the old Westerns. It did look like something straight out of the movies and was especially dramatic since it was overlooked by (apparently) the highest point in the lower 48 sta...

Las Vegas again! 24 hour party city - no stars at night (only the celebrities) as light pollution rules the night sky. Our first night in Vegas was spent downtown, off the Strip. We stayed at cheap accomodation called The Plaza. As we were driving to Flagstaff the next day, we were not bothered about staying on the strip - although on our return, we had booked into The Luxor - a posh hotel (pyramid shaped) in the heart of the strip. I was not a great fan of our hotel on the first night. It wa...

We stayed at the Luxor hotel which was located on the southern end of the Las Vegas strip. It was one of the city's first fully-themed megaresorts. The Luxor is among the most recognizable hotels on the strip because of its striking design. Designed by renowned hotel architect Veldon Simpson, the main portion of the hotel is a 350-foot-high (106 meters), 30-story pyramid of black glass (in comparison, the Great Pyramid of Giza tops out at 450 ft, or 138 m). The hotel is marked by a large obel...

We were on our way to Vegas and almost 45 miles away from it we saw few hotels that looked like Vegas hotels and had a small casino. But that was just the trailer before we reached Las Vegas. As we were nearing Las Vegas we saw lot of traffic and that's why we took an exit before Luxor hotel where we had a booking so we stopped at Mandalay bay hotel and there we took some time to find the parking. After a while we found a valet parking after that we got the excess for the car and took few cl...

So as we all know from Geet's entry, that we are in Vegas. A place popular for the saying "Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". Well, I heard this a million times, but never really felt that Vegas could be as exciting as commented by others. Coming to the point, I was wrong, Vegas can be a killer place for fun, and can provide you with all kinds of enjoyment you want. This last night in Vegas just changed my belief about the place, and turned out to be the best nights of the whole trip,...

Plans: Get from Airport to the Hotel via Shuttle. Get comfy in the room. Have dinner at the Burger Bar between Luxor and Mandalay. Get ready for the magic show. Walk up the strip to Monte Carlo Reality: Arrival at the Airport! We arrived at Las Vegas way earlier than was planned. The ticket said we would be there around 1:50pm, instead we arrived around 1:15. How that's possible I'm not really sure. The pilot this go around said we were given and ok to leave 10 mins early from ATL, and during...

Very nice stay
Appart from that, check-in was pretty long (20 minutes at least). Not only for us but also for all the other people waiting. The staff was nice. We had a room in the East tower, with a view on the swimming pool (well, a fraction of it) instead of the Strip, but that was OK with us. The room was really nice and clean. It was of a very good size. The bathroom had both a shower and a bath, which is unusual but useful when there's two of you!
The sad thing is that they had no fridge in the room, which I quite like to store cold drings or fruit.
Check-out was absolutely straightforward using their on-screen feature. You see your bill, and you just agree to it by pressing a key on your remote control! I had personnaly never seen that before.
In summary, this is a very nice hotel, even though it's not the best in terms of location in Vegas (South end of the Strip).
Surprisingly good
With 4,400 rooms and 100,000 square feet of casino, Luxor is your typical Vegas maze of elevators, slot machines, tables and restaurants. You'll need Pharoah's help to find your way around the Luxor's neverending casino maze. Restaurants and the buffet were pretty average, except for Isis and the Nile Deli, which were pretty doggone good. The location at the south end of the strip isn't my favorite (who wants to stare at McCarran Airport all day) but it's easily accessible by monorail or enclosed walk to Excalibur and Mandalay Bay, and a few more steps from the PeopleMovers to center strip from Monte Carlo and MGM Grand.
For the price, Luxor is definitely one of the best deals in Sin City.
Not impressed
After being told by so many people that we might get an upgrade if we told them we are getting married, we gave it a go on check in. We were told "sure for an extra $50US a night you can have the jacuzzi room"
I don't think so! What a rip off.
We then checked into our tower room which was very average. I have stayed in better rooms for half the price.
The only good thing was the very deep bath and the rooms were always cleaned very well.
The first night after reuniting with my family from England who I had not seen for ages, the 12 of us went to dinner at the pyramid cafe. All I can say is I have never in 30 years come across such rude staff. It was most inconvenient to them that they had to put a table for 12 together for us.
Apart from it being expensive, do not go there unless you enjoy being served by grumpy staff.
We spent a week in Vegas and my advice is if you want service, stay at the Excalibur or Circus Circus. I haven't seen the rooms but just from dining in both these places, we found that the staff are far more down to earth and friendly, unlike the snobby staff in posher hotels.
My sister in law ordered strawberries to be sent to our room on our wedding day. When I got home, she told me that the staff on the phone were soooooooo rude she almost hung up on them. Plus they delivered them at the wrong time.
So much for "pampering the guests" like they say they will. We did not get so much as a "congratulations on your marriage"
Anyone getting married in Vegas, I recommend the Regale restaurant at the Excalibur for your reception.

Disappointed
Upon arriving at the hotel, I had to wait over 20 minutes in line for check-in. On a side-note, the check-in lines are organized similar to supermarket checkout - one line per station. A more efficient (and fair) way to organize this would be similar to airline check-in - one line for all stations.
I was placed in a pyrarmid room on the fourth floor. (Side-note: trying to locate the proper elevetors/inclanators in this hotle is very difficult and confusing.) The lighting in the room was poor, the air conditioning was lousy, the shower pressure was non-existant and the bed was hard.
Check-out time meant another wait in a long line as I required a printed record. However, if you don't require a printed record (or can wait for one to arrive weeks later through the mail) you can use the express checkout drop boxes.
The only pleasant part of my trip were the hotel attractions (still top-notch) and a delicious soft-serve ice cream at the Buffet.
Great stay , but was glad to leave
Luxor accomdated our broken leg......
The hotel switched us to a great handicapped accessible room with a huge shower that you could bring a wheelchair into or sit on a bench while showering. The hotel also provide us with a wheelchair rental company name that delivered and picked up the chair at the hotel.
Great service. Every hotel and resturant on the strip was very accomodating.
Unbelievable!!!
Best Coffee on the Strip
We spent three days here in a Pyramid Room on the 17th Floor then went off the Grand Canyon, spent a further three nights in a Jacuzzi Suite at the Luxor. The suite was well worth the extra $50 we had two big TV's, a fridge, a lovely sitting room and a great jacuzzi that I spent hours in. Check-in was very fast, the buffet was ok and we had great fun in the amusements. The coffee is the best on the Strip!! The casino floor is massive and easy to get disorientated in but has a great selection of games and great slot club. The maids who cleaned the rooms were the best anywhere: they helped us with everything and gave us extra towels when asked and soaps ect. The spa was very good - clean, big with good treatments and friendly patrons and staff. There are really only two faults I can find with the Luxor. Its location is great because it's at the end of the strip so you get there from the airport very quickly and convenient to get the factory outlets and straight on to the I15, but for taking a stroll it's a little bit too far down the strip. The cocktail service when you are playing is not as quick as other strip casino, took us an age to get drunk. We stayed there Xmas '99, last year we stayed at the Aladdin which was actually better though the coffee not as good as the Luxor. This year however we will be spending our first night there for convenience then driving out to Palm Springs and back to stay at New York New York and Belagio. please feel free to emil me any questions simon@vegasuncovered.com
