We found our room to be on par with the Best Westerns in actual fact some were better at alot less cost. The air conditioning was very noisy but had to have on as windows didnt open at all. If we had realised that the smaller chain hotels were as close to the strip would have stayed there. Airport is so close you could see from the window. Fruit mahines in vegas are a let down. You dont play them they play you i.e. there is no nudge no save no nothing you just push the button and they play it for you!!! No coins falling out of machine on a win either. All Vouchers now. Vegas is a money pit. It is geared at every opportunity to you spending money. Glad we experienced it but more glad we only stayed a couple of nights

We stayed in the Luxor Hotel, the pyramid shape hotel with the huge beam coming out the top of it! At least you can always see where it is! Our room had a great jacuzzi and sitting room area, huge room! Managed to almost fill the room with bubbles and foam one night lol...The Inclinators are very weird....sideways lifts...took me a while to get use to them. Las Vegas is ok, though if you arent into gambling like me it get a bit tedious! We did a few shows...bbe careful.some places are little more than pick up bars with hookers. The high light was the heliopter trip to the grand canyon...i hate heights so flying over the edge was stomach churning! . It was an experience but not my kind of place. All the hotels look fantastic from outside, magical and you can spend the whole time without actually going outdoors as they are all linked by walk ways and esalators!

the hotel experience was awful. The employees at this hotel are thiefs. do yourself a favor and dont stay here. I spoke to security so they could pull tapes of my wallet being stolen and they say the camers at this hotel couldnt pull up an image because the cameras werent looking at the image of the front desk when i was checking in. the front desk clerk stole my wallet. the security cameras suck at this hotel. anything can happen and they wouldnt have any proof because there cameras dont work.

I was attending a conference at the Mandalay Bay Hotel next to the Luxor and stayed in the Luxor from October 25th through October 30th. I booked the hotel a few weeks prior and received a rate of $50 a night (plus a $10.99 resort fee per night, plus $14.99 internet access per day).

I had read reviews of the Luxor online and wasn't sure what to expect, but it wasn't as bad as others reported. We checked in around 11 AM and a room was available. The line for checking in was quite long, as folks were checking in for the convention that week. But it went efficiently.

The room was on the 4th floor, and was somewhat near the elevators. We had a King room in the Pyramid, number 4085. It faced the towers and had a lovely view of a concrete wall (which is to say, it faced nothing). If we were to flatten our faces to the window, we could see some palm trees and the desert mountains in the distance, but that was it. The carpet had been updated recently and was contemporary in design, though the bedspread was quite dated and was still the old and tired Egyptian-themed design. The bathroom had been recently re-done.

There was no wireless internet in the room, and there was no desk. There was a table and two chairs near the window that I had to drag across the room so that I cold reach the internet cable to plug my laptop in.

The bed was an older spring mattress and I could feel some of the springs poking me in my back as I lay in the bed. The insulation wasn't very soundproof as we could hear the squeaking of the inclinators (they don't call them elevators, because they angle upward following the contour of the pyramid), as well as other guests in their rooms or in the hallway outside.

There was some gum stuck to the bathroom floor that blended in with the faux slate tile, which is maybe why housekeeping didn't see it to clean it.

We didn't get housekeeping one day, so we had to call to get a couple of towels exchanged, and to have the trash taken out. On our last day, housekeeping didn't come until 6:30 PM.

I recommend a restaurant called Tacos and Tequila (or T&T as they call it) for great authentic Mexican food. Baja Tacos (3 of them) are $16, nachos with fajita steak was $14 (without chicken or fajita steak was $12), the Tamale plate was $11, queso was $2, chips and awesome salsa was complimentary.

Another restaurant called Company Kitchen was good, though pricey. The pulled pork sandwich was $18, their salads range in price from $7 to $9. I HIGHLY recommend their fried mashed potato sticks ($9) and the filet mignon stuffed with blue cheese ($32). Their hamburgers were around $16 to $20 (depending on what you wanted on it). A side of asparagus was $9, a side of mashed potatoes was $7, scallops were $13, bacon-wrapped shrimp was $11.

There are three Starbuck's in the Luxor and the one on the atrium level (I think that's level 3) was never busy and we were always able to walk right up and order even between the hours of 8 and 10 (when the two downstairs Starbucks were busy). Their prices are what you would find elsewhere, $3 for a grande American coffee. Fifty-five cents for a shot of flavoring.

Their fitness center is pretty dang nice, with Precor-brand tredmills, eliptical runners, and bikes. There were at least 10 treadmills, and 5 eliptical runners as well as 6 or 7 stationary bikes (both upright and recumbent bikes). There were free weights, and some universal equipment available. There was very little floor space to put down a yoga mat and stretch, but they also had large yoga balls as well. You get free water from a little fridge while you're there, and the use of the gym is included with the $10.99 resort fee.

The hotel price was right for the level of service that I received, but I wouldn't have been happy had the price been any higher.
