    As long as the food is hot and there is plenty of selection, I won't complain. If I don't like something, I don't eat it. It's a better choice than a $20 breakfast bagel at Fontainbleau food court, not including drink.

    You are correct about the loss leaders being removed. They were replaced with players cards, player databases and tracking play. The real gamblers don't pay for the buffets or meals, just charge it to the room and it's all comp'd at the end of the stay. If you don't gamble, sure, be prepared to pay up for everything!

    With the high cost of a basic breakfast in a fast food joint or a restaurant on the strip, a buffet like this can make sense especially when it includes your beverages. For me breakfast doesn't have to be gourmet, and there you have plenty of choices. These days a breakfast sandwich and a coffee can be very pricey. If you choose wisely I think the Luxor buffet is fine.

    Couple of things to add. If you use the MyVegas 2-4-1 coupon, two people can eat for $17 bucks each. This coupon is now restricted at MGM, Luxor, and Excalibur and they will not allow you to use the coupon and charge the cost of the buffet to your room. Was the omelet station not open? The made-to-order omelets are very good. When you can get a good omelet, and good coffee for $17 each that is a deal. When you throw in the rest of the unlimited food (good or "not too bad") this is a heck of a deal.

    • @ShowMeVegas

    Back to year 2012, my friend and I stayed at the Excalibur for a few days, and they had a deal for both buffet hotels to eat for like $40 each within some window and we did lunch at Excalibur, then dinner at the Luxor… they were pretty much the same buffet, just different ambiance.

  • @ChrisM541

    Huge thanks for another excellent video.
    I honestly think this is very acceptable and I certainly wouldn't be disappointed eating there. It's all about the context the Luxor always seems to be compared against in TH-cam land. Then again (and ignoring any myVegas vouchers!) it's all about cost and for the money paid, this honestly isn't a bad deal.
    I have to admit though, they REALLY need to label those trays - they need to remember that tourists, especially those from other countries, would damn well expect this!
    I'm looking forward to a 2 week holiday just North of Atlanta, this August and we'll be including a 5 day stay in Vegas at the Luxor. Coming from Scotland, my usual holiday locations include Spain, Portugal, Italy and Turkey, amongst others. Most of the 'touristy' resorts in these countries pretty much all come from the same rubber stamp (except for Italy). Buffet-wise (excluding the very top/expensive hotels), the Luxor would be well placed.
    But, of course, going to Vegas isn't about the hotel you sleep in!
