Hotel

Mr. & Mr. Nick will be checking into the Luxor's pyramid spa suite tonight! I will take lots of pictures and post comments here! We will be there for three nights, it should work out well since I am not a needy customer and plan to do my "heavy per se" playing elsewhere.

"Mr. & Mr." ?

Well, you boys have fun now!

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Excellent Seinfeld reference!

Ok so were here and the spa suite is ok. If it wernt for the medium sized tub that fits only 2 people I would be unhappy the room really shows it's age and the sitting area that makes it a suite probably used to be a closet the walk from the elevator is the usual long one. I hit 20 on big 6 playing $2 for fun won $40 then lost $75 on 6 deck bj at $15 a bet

My wife and I have enjoyed the Luxor's quirky decor (reminds us of when we were in Egypt about the same way that NY-NY reminds us of Manhattan). We also like to occasionally drop in for brunch at the Pyramid Cafe off the casino, even though we stay elsewhere.

We did stay at the Luxor once in 2008 because I thought it might be cool to stay in the pyramid. At check in, we were "upgraded" to one of the towers, and I accepted without thinking it through. It turned out that the tower room was a dump -- dirty with completely ragged linen on the bed. Bad room and we missed out on the pyramid experience to boot.

We have our next Vegas trip planned for the end of April (hitting Biloxi, New Orleans, and Tunica in March). The first part of the visit, we will stay at Rio, which we first tried this past January and liked. After a couple of nights in Palm Springs to de-compress, it's back to Vegas for two more nights, but the Rio wasn't available for some reason.

Guess I am a sucker, because I am going to give the Luxor another try for those two nights, and this time I will stick to a Pyramid room, just for the novelty.

I just stayed at the Luxor Tower for 3 nights last week. Very, very clean in a newly remodled room. A bit of a walk to get around. The front desk did share with me they ran out of money to remodel the original rooms in the pyamid. I would have moved down the strip if it was not comped.

Just stayed at the Luxor recently and overall had a good experience. The people there were friendly and I didn't have to wait in any extended lines. They have a good game selection and at some times of day offer craps and blackjack as low as $5. I got killed on the craps tables but made it back and more card counting in blackjack.

I stayed in one of the spa suites. The room was nice and my only real complaint was the spa itself. When I tried to turn it off the handle broke and the tub started to overflow. I had to call the desk to figure out how to drain the tub before it overflowed. They sent someone up fairly quickly but he was only successful in getting the water to stop. They then sent one more person and later a third to try and figure out the problem. It took at least two hours before the three of them were able to come to a conclusion and fix the problem. They didn't bother to clean up after they left and I had to call the desk again to clean up all the dirt they left. I was looking forward to relaxing for a few hours with my girlfriend after arriving, and this incident certainly put a damper on the mood.

I can only assume that this was an isolated incident and would still recommend this hotel as it was affordable while still giving the luxurious feeling you should get from a vegas casino.

It was years ago that I stayed at the Luxor, in the pyramid. I thought the novelty of the slanted window was fun, but it ends up giving you less usable space in the room. Makes a smallish room even smaller.

Back in the days when the Luxor was located in Egypt the space and cramped feelings were probably tolerable since the whole place was an adventure trip. Now that the Luxor is nothing more than just a hotel with the Egyptian relics that were too big and heavy to be carted off still there, the inclinator would be a brief novelty and a longer nuisance.

There have been alot of complaints about housekeeping from there. Still, the rooms are very cheap.
