welcome along @@cherryannbercasio
Bro that was not wind noise @13:37
Cafe is pronounced KA-fey....btw.
So you basically paid to stay in a giant replica of a tomb, got vertigo finding your way around, had to take out a small loan just to get some breakfast and then had your shorts stolen! And the ghosts were a no show...you do these things so we dont have to, Tim 😂😂
🤣😂 Brilliant 👍😂🤣👻
The breakfast price is the same at all strip hotels and is pretty standard for any large hotel located in any large US city center.
@@Paul-vf2wl Rip off
@@Slytherin88 Maybe but it's standard none the less. Enjoy your free cereal at Motel 6.
@@Paul-vf2wl Who's gonna turn down free cereal? 😂
A bed bug ‘expert’ on Radio 2 said as soon as you get into your hotel room, put your suitcases and bags into the bath then check for bedbugs. Only takes seconds for the buggers to get into your cases - they can’t climb into baths 😅
It’s a shame, they’ve basically let the hotel down. It used to be amazingly themed towards Egypt, now they’ve removed all that and it looks tired af
Seems like all the Vegas strip hotels have been let down.
@@BassGal92Lost Vegas.
owned by marriot now
it was haunted cuz of all the moans you would hear at night, tons of working girls were "allowed" to work there during its first few years
I’ll stick to the Venetian & Caesars & Bellagio thanks !!!!!!
Tim - no woman in the history of the world has ever said the words ‘there is too much room round this sink’. ❤️🙋♀️🇨🇦
Gotta love them his and hers sink set ups right ladies?
I went to the Luxor the year it opened and went again about 1o years ago. I cannot tell you how much it has gone downhill. That whole atrium used to be lit, so much more brightness and color. Now it feels like a real pyramid....a tomb.
Yes a bit of a Shane, with the money they make thought it would be good for an upgrade
@@WalkWithMeTim what does this have to do with me?
lol@@shayneauer6063
Just stayed. Yea. It's a tomb.
Vegas is a cespool for the suburbs to evacuate their Aholes into.
I stayed there a few years ago and a bunch of drunk dudes started throwing furniture over the balcony into the atrium from one of the top floors. I remember the sounds of the furniture slamming into the buildings below and the pieces shattering all over the floor and sliding on the tiles. Someone got hit in the head but survived. It scared me going in there the rest of the holiday.
I hope they were arrested and the person they hit made a full recovery! 😨
Omg crazy how they don't put up some kind of screen
@@maumita😮
@@maumitawhen ?
@@estelalopez3563 This happened in 1996
I imagine the elevators are probably the biggest issue for building management. I can't imagine they're easy to maintain, considering how rare incline elevators typically are.
Actually it's the exterior glass. Cleaning and maintaining it is a huge headache.
My family stayed here in I think summer 1996. I was a kid but loved it. There were a ton of things to learn about Egypt. There were people dressed on costumes working along the Nile tour... there was a really great video game arcade... down below there was a recreation of King Tut's tomb and a gift shop with stone scarabs and ancient Egyptian coins. Ive stayed again since then and its not the full experience it originally was.
It's because egypt was full black in the BC times. Alot shown can't be shown anymore it's big deep old history. Shuts down islam immediately in a minute. Big hidden geographical history. Involves OLMECS of n.mexico too. Involves carthage and original greece. Hindu people are effected by that history as well. Because kushite black women began the hindi India race.
Yes, yea l remember Luxor's Glory days! It smells of smoke in the carpets.
They have the King Tut museum exhibit now which is really cool. Then right next to it is the Titanic museum, which is far and away one of the coolest things I've ever seen and not expensive.
My days not complete without Tim's shower to people ratio 😂
lol
I agree unless it fits 4 or more it's a concern 😂
Tim's shower/people is like my 5-man tent that I use alone or with my SO... 5 very little intimate people!
I like to guess how many Tim is going to say can fit in, lol
Or the BED BUGS LOL
I love Tim’s British perspective on American hotels it’s really refreshing and feels like I’m there with him! Great video again Tim! Looking forward for more! ❤
thank you means a lot
Tim invites 4 people to join him in a shower and then at 20:30 he is addressing the camera with his fly down ……… 😂😂 good work Tim keep it up really enjoy the videos .
Why were you looking at his fly😂😂 so now I'm gonna have to look
I hate heights 😢. I can’t believe there’s no glass or anything to stop people leaning over or dropping things 😮
Actually, those walls are not that tall. We were on one of the uppermost floors and I will never forget watching a VERY drunk woman weaving down the walkway in front of us. I can’t believe nobody has drunkenly fallen over 😮
I hear you there.
Im pretty sure there are falling ppl down now and then
Stayed in a Pyramid room a decade or so ago, had to hug the walls and almost crawl to get to my room 😂
Would also look up and see groups of people literally sitting on the edge drinking beers and laughing.. that was my one and only stay at the Luxor
My late husband and I stayed there somewhere around late 1990's or early 2000's. It was the filthiest room I ever saw. Plus, when I sat on the edge of the bed, a spring popped up through the mattress, cutting my thigh. I looked under the sheet and could tell it didn't just happen because there were a few other holes in the mattress. After complaining to the staff at the check in desk the guy looked me up and down (I am a plus size woman, probably 170 lbs. at the time) and said "Are you SURE it didn't just happen?". So insulting. They ended up giving us a suite. It was obviously under cleaned. There was trash left in dresser drawers, hair in the tub, dust around the bed and the TV remote was missing, rendering it useless. And there was a cart with dirty dishes piled up just outside our door that stayed there the entire 3 days we were there. I would never stay there again. Not just because of the dirtiness, but because of the insulting way I was treated.
lmao fatass broke the damn bed 😭😭
That is sooo not cool! My sympathies.
Thanks for sharing your experience, but that was like 25-30 years ago. I wonder how it has changed since then.
I stayed there one Sat night in 2015, The room had no fridge, no coffee making facilities and the worst mould I'd ever seen in a hotel shower . I rang room service and they told me if i wanted food or drink or including water I had to go downstairs to the main mall area and mingle with the masses. Room service sent a guy up to clean the shower but for what I paid I'd never stay there again.
These are the sorts of videos that help people choose where to stay in Vegas. I did this when I went in 2012 as I wanted to stay at the Bellagio until I saw the videos of the rooms and what I can only describe as old granny bedrooms. I ended up at the Aria which was very modern and had all the tech back then. Keep up the good work Tim.
Yeah, as you can imaging, a Casino has a theme and 70% of the rooms are more or less copy and paste (these are the more budget room), the high end rooms/complementry rooms (almost like apartment flats) is where they literally splash their budget, high rollers and famous people are held in high regard to us common folk.
Vegas or at least the Strip is for pensioners. Today's old people are wasting their family wealth gambling rather than leaving anything for their children. It's just embarrassing to most young people. Young people are only in Vegas for shows and a laugh.
Fun fact. All the furniture in your room came from the Bellagio from their recent renovation!
But to explain the state of the hotel, the luxor is one of those hotels that is a victim of the great "de-themeing" of Vegas where all the themed hotels lose their theme, get only the most basic renovations and they dont put money into them because they're "chintzy" and "tacky" (see also Excalibur, Circus Circus, etc). Its not bad not as fabulous as it once was, but I have a soft spot for campy hotels.
If you want a REALLY bad hotel, check out the Rio, Ellis Island, Or OYO. Those are GNARLY
really ? it does look out of place lol
Yup, it’s the old Bellagio furniture and I’m almost certain the sun loungers are from the Bellagio as they were all replaced half way through our stay in June this year. Bellagio new shiny loungers, Luxor old Bellagio loungers.
OYO was SO BAD. I stayed there last year for a single night because of a hotel reservation snafu at the Bellagio, and not only was its nasty, but I felt totally unsafe staying alone. The locks on my door weren’t fully secure and my room was right next to the stairs. Every time someone closed their room door, it would rattle mine and scare me.
@@thejokersmistress15OYO was the „Hooters“ before, Right? When they didn‘t renovate anything, it is really a Bad place to stay😅
It's actually shocking how it looks now and how run down it is. I was at the Luxor about 16 years ago and back then it was a hundred times better, nicer and more fitting looking.
Agreed! The hallways did indeed smell like ancient cigarette smoke, and the vertigo from navigating them made me pity the cleaning staff. Was a once in a lifetime experience since I henceforth vowed to stay only in traditional right-angled hotels. Anyway, thanks for the brilliant tour, Tim!
Hi Tim. Ive always thought this hotel was all glitz and glamour. Looks very modern down stairs, but shocked to see the rooms looking very dull and in need of a massive makeover. Those lifts condition really suprised me to be damaged like that to think of the clientele that can afford this place. Yes breakfast price was ridiculous so i be taking a week of pack lunches lol. That price seems. Expensive.
Alot of the strip hotels are very very tired now built 20+ years ago not alot changes.
The hotel food has always been pricey. The key is to plan ahead where to eat. See if you can book a package that offers food credits (certain credit cards have them) or lower your restaurant level. For instance, the food courts almost always have a McDonald’s. Get breakfast there. Or Dennys up the strip a few blocks. I usually do one or two really expensive meals per trip, then do fast food or casual restaurants for every other meal. It’s harder now, but you still can do Vegas on the cheap.
Quite an old hotel now, MGM Resorts has quite a few newer properties now. Won’t be long before they implode this and/or Excalibur IMHO
@@ruk2023-- Wash your mouth out, Ralph 🤭. Tim has more integrity than to do that.
Yeah seems really poor value overall honestly.
Interesting review. I can see why it is rated as one of the worst hotels in Vegas! The Luxor is probably haunted due to a variety of suicides and murders that have occurred there, the balconies are pretty much designed for the purpose! I've stayed in a few hotels in Vegas with Circus Circus being the worst and probably Bellagio or Venetian being the best (There are probably better but I've not stayed in all hotels in Vegas). I never eat in Hotel restaurants as all of them are far too overpriced. For breakfast I usually try to find a Denny's . Some of the hotel buffets can be good but again can be pricey.
Most haunting stories are fake
@@paulc3749ALL haunting stories are fake!
As a regular uk Luxor visitor (56 trips..) Happy to fill you in on a few fun facts...
In MGM properties neither fridges or coffee makers come as standard in regular rooms.
And the construction you can see is going to be a "Play Playground" 1st of its kind with interactive games and activities, over 21 in the evenings.
Floor 10 is the most haunted, a man committed suicide there.Floor 27 is also haunted by a young woman who jumped from the atrium.
I've stayed all over the strip, Luxor is still my favourite, been coming since 1990s. The Tower rooms are luxurious, highly recommend, the lifts are quick too. Ps it's inclinator😊
56 times? There is a whole world out there my friend!
@@jamiestewart48 yep, and I tried it out and always come back to Luxor, been doing the strip for over 30 years and stayed in at least 20 other places on n off strip.. it can't be beaten 😊 ps, have also travelled most of Asia and Europe, still call Luxor LV home 👍🏻
Why stay in a tower room? That defeats the whole purpose.
@@JohnBarney-yd2wq not at all, you get the fun of the pyramid with the luxury of the tower, perfect combo 👌🏻
@@spookypeg666 I like to experience the full experience when I stay at Luxor which is the Pyramid which means the room and walking out to look down and stuff. Not some new tower that has nothing to do with Luxor.
I stayed at the Luxor little less than a month ago and thought it was a dump - lifts took 10-15 minutes. Parts of the room wall were visibly chipped, the paint on the bathroom door was peeling, as was the ceiling in the shower. The lifts themselves seemed to be in disrepair, as you showed in your video. I complained to the manager and they took off the resort fees, but I wouldn't recommend staying there again. Actually going back to Vegas a few weeks after getting back from Britain but am going to Planet Hollywood. Great pity, I used to really like the Luxor. Granted not high end like Wynn, but still was a nice place. Alas no longer. Dunno if they have bed bugs, but it wouldn't surprise me.
All in all, not worth staying at Luxor given that it's a long walk from every place else. In any case, safe travels back to the UK.
Walking down those hallways is the strangest feeling! After seeing what the rooms and pools look like in the Luxor, I think I prefer the Excalibur. The spooky facts were very interesting too. This video has taught me some new things about the hotel. Great video!
I totally agree!
What I love about Tim’s channel is the variety… Today I’ve been to Lanzarote, Weymouth, Liverpool and Las Vegas ❤️
Great to hear! thank you
@@WalkWithMeTim Given that you now have global viewership, it's time to switch to showing the prices in dollars (you could also show the prices in Euros and pounds in the screen but not say it out aloud)
I think one of the biggest problems Luxor has is so much was built custom for it. There are no replacement parts for those elevators...inclinators, the HVAC in the rooms, etc. That makes the cost of maintenance and renovation exceedingly high in a time when everything uses off the shelf components.
I stayed there several times when it first open and it was beautiful. I recently stayed there and I couldn’t believe how run down and dated the room and even parts of the hotel. I did also noticed the hotel and room had a old smell and elevators suck but had a nice time with family. Thanks again for another cool and informative video.
got to say from virgin atlantic UC and now vegas hotel stuff, this channel is getting better and better, make the videos an hour long Tim, we want to see it all! From checking all the dirty parts of the hotel, different rooms, what room service is like etc etc - you are the best at these videos. Such a likeable presenter.
It’s always so odd to see such grand places have such run down areas. You couldn’t pay me to get into those lifts 😂😂😂
I get such a rush of nostalgia every time I stay at Luxor. Been going to Vegas since I was 13 years old in the mid 90's. And Luxor never disappoints every time I stay here.
💯 my fave hotel.
Back in 2002, my Dad took a trip to Vegas with my uncles and aunts, leaving my mom behind to handle the start of school with us kids. I vividly recall watching the camcorder footage of his adventure through the hotel and in fact we still have it!; my jaw dropped as I realized just how massive it was with all the footage he took it almost felt like i was there. From the bustling airport seen from his window to the planes soaring overhead, the scale was awe-inspiring. Looking back, I can't help but chuckle at my younger self's shock at this cool place, vegas seemed light years ahead with everything. Time has a funny way of altering our perceptions, hasn't it? It seems like those older hotels are now focused on maximizing profits, perhaps sensing the inevitable shift toward newer, more modern accommodations. It's as if they're bracing for the inevitable transition, doubling down on standards to stay relevant until the very end.
So fun that your fly was open, when you talked about your lost swinging shorts😂 love your videos BTW.. ❤
Probably just wanted to prove he wasnt wearing them 😂
Ah, not just me that noticed that then! 😳
@@BlueSpeedMouse79%qq%q
Thank you. I thought I was the only one that noticed
Even funnier that you wrote "swinging shorts".
Swinging a bit too much, thank you!
Oh goodness i was expecting so much more from that bedroom plus the lifts and the dim corridors because from the outside and approach to reception i thought wow looked good. I am quite a good walker but the length of those corridors would be so tiring .....Enjoying watching your trip.
Thanks for watching
Stayed here on our first trip to Vegas back in the 90`s and it was an amazing experience. Heartbreaking to see how they have de-themed it and let it deteriorate. 😪
Cancelled my booking because of this thank you mate!
I must admit, that room is so underwhelming when you consider what's on the other side of the door! I would not be happy with it with all the money it would cost to get there 😂
Sort of like a Super 8 without the coffee maker. But hell, most are there to see the sights and loose some money, or a lot of money.
@@iworkout6912 Very true! Mind you, having lost all my money in the casino, I would want a happier looking room to cry in 😂
He must have stayed on a Saturday, and he paid an early check-in fee, but checked in "rather late" which is just wasteful. I stayed twice this year (both mid-week) and my most expensive day was $57 + $36 resort fee for a total of $93 (and the cheapest was less than $70 total). Also, my first trip, after talking to the rewards desk, they were able to reduce my bill for a substantial portion because I had a moderate amount of playing time in the casino.
Good grief! That's mad!
The room is surprisingly tatty. What a soulless place...
I love it, but i am Danish, maybe thats why. We don't complain alot.
Being kept awake by a fly that won’t die! So a new Tim is always a treat. Lying on the sofa and getting chills looking over the edges! Thanks for sharing. I think this is the first hotel that’s made me genuinely want to visit for the hotel rather than the resort!
At 20:36 - during ‘short gate’ think you’re flying at half mast there Tim 😂
I hate those sort of flies! Had one in my room two weeks ago that kept me awake (it got in when my brother accidentally left the front door open). 😡
Thanks Tim for being so kind and showing us amazing locations I love to support you and Gaby in anyway I can keep up the great work
Wow Craig. You are to kind 💛 thanks so much
Lost your shorts, however…
…if you’re not careful, your horse is going to get out of the barn 😂
Your Vegas series has been so helpful. I'm going to Las Vegas in a few months for the first time ever for leisure (been a half dozen times for work, usually in a Hampton Inn or such, which is fine by me, but not my friends for vacation). Your reviews are so thorough and hit all the sort of things I want to know... like is there a fridge in the room and more importantly is it one you'd want to even bother with, or toiletries offered, or upkeep of furniture, etc. Thank you!
Your videos are absolutely fantastic and also provide such a tremendous public service. It's a shame that hospitality has undergone such disappointing changes, first in how services are delivered to customers, and second, in how many amenities that we once used to enjoy and expect have disappeared. Excellent content!
Absolutely loved this Tim, superb video. That view of the atrium from the top floor 😱
Great stuff Tim.enjoyed
Loved that. That hotel is huge! The atrium was amazing but the room was rather dated and there was a definite Overlook Hotel feel about those corridors 👻
Honestly, it makes my evening to see a new Walk With Me Tim video drop 😊
Interesting to get a look at this place. I remember going through there on a family vacation as a kid back in the mid 90s. We didn't stay overnight but I did get to spend some time in the arcade there which, as best I can recall, was very large and took up two floors. To a 10 year old THAT was really all I cared about! Thanks for the video :D
Excellent review, thank you!
Hi Tim that was an excellent video and I really enjoyed it so much. Wow what a huge and amazing hotel you stayed in. Thanks for making this video.
Wow Tim this Hotel was so surprising it had me laughing😂
You never fail to surprise!
I honesty expected a real dive of a place in a really dinghy area of Las Vegas.
But this Pyramid was a delight!
The Grand Entrance was an experience in itself & then The Titanic Exhibition well i was absolutely sold!
Ive always been interested in The Titanic since i was 14, it a shame it wasn't open i would of loved to see it.
The dead body museum sounded very fitting for the spooky season, a touch of the macarbre!
I loved all the levels & the balconys from the rooms where you could look out & see all the different restaurants & things to do & yes the people did look like little Ants from high up!
I was really excited about the Casino tho i understand you probably couldn't film in there with all that wild money flying about!
Your room was definitely showing its age the bed sounded uncomfortable & the room was very dated.
And needed a refurb.
In fact the whole hotel probably needs a proper refurb to get rid of the smell of old smoke.
I did actually take to that psychedelic Carpet on the video.
Its a shame its not all brand new.
But having said that it does have a cosiness about it especially the Pyramid Restaurant, personally for me thst had more charm than Costas that all look the same with cardboard food.
I hope the food experience in there was nice Tim.
Your Swimming Pants going missing was a mystery 🤔😂
But the pool area was lovely with the Egyptian Theme everywhere outside.
Really a truly amazing experience Tim.
I was so happy looking around only wish we could have all been there with you..
The only bit that felt spooky to me was the area at the top it looked deserted up there & the spooky story about the workers who might of died there!
But overall i really found this Hotel to be a special gem & certainly not a place ive ever imagined...
Hi Tim, we started watching you and Gaby for inspiration for our honeymoon but now I'm hooked, love the content and watch every day
wow thanks Kelly
Beautiful place.What a concept! Thanks for the profile on Luxor.💛
Thanks for the guided tour.
well done for having your flies undone for the entire section talking about your disappearing swimming shorts 🙂
Great vlog as always, I stayed there in 2001 and it looks the same! I remember the room smelt like old smoke but it could have been the air conditioner pumping out stale air ! I absolutely loved the sheer scale of the place, my jaw dropped when I first walked in.
The Egytian themed things still look great, it's a pity they didn't make the rooms in the same classic style then maybe they wouldn't look so 90's now. Can't wait for the next video, I remember Ceasar's Palace was really interesting inside with great shops!
"make the rooms in the same classic style then maybe they wouldn't look so 90's now" 🤔👍
Terrible place to stay in, but the shops and events are great. Just head (south) towards Mandalay Bay and the connecting shopping mall is fantastic. Since parking is free for locals, we all park at Luxor, walk in, go up past the food court and then right. Out of the hotel in 2 minutes. And then head down to the mall and eating areas towards Mandalay Bay.
Yes, that's right - the giant bridge you see connecting the two from the outside is an entire shopping center. that also connects to the more normal towers to the south. All of the places inside it are far better than inside the Luxor as well.
Sick videos mate. Always watching bro. Keep it up mate
Great video Tim! The complex looks great the rooms have seen better days!
Yay new video! I've stayed in the Luxor. The booking was messed up and we got upgraded to a suite. It was like a whole separate living room extra. And yeah the hotel is massive. Lots of walking. I remember the underground cafe breakfast was amazing. First time I had ribs at breakfast lol. Good old Vegas
lol best way to do it
I first stayed at the Luxor in the year 2000 which was a present from my parents as I finished an around the world trip. I was pleasantly surprised then by it as I expected it to be extremely tacky, but the Egyptian theming back then they did very well. I think you should start either a pillows for hotels company or a coffee machine company!
Excellent video 😎🧃👌
Great to see the Luxor, was waiting to see a video from you to see what the inside was like
Ah I was hoping to bump into you after I saw your live, We were on floor 10 ! No ghosts though. We’ve just stayed here for 10 nights and complained about the wait for the lifts and got half our resorts fees and taxes refunded. We got an incredible price booking early which included BA flights, so it was reasonably priced… thanks for a great video Tim 😊
Having a tough Sunday, but seeing a new Tim video is coming soon has made me feel a ‘lil bit better. 😊
Hope all is OK
Best wishes Pandalind, I hope the day improves for you.
Really ? 😂😂
My guess it's not so tough then
Wishing you kindness and health
Great video, glad you are not shying away from highlighting the less glamorous parts of the hotel. Honest reviews is what we are wanting. The hotel does look in need of some serious TLC…not sure whether it will be on my list of places to stay. 😊
I love your videos. I hope you make more in Las Vegas.
Booked 3 night 20 years ago and checked out after one day. Absolute dump. Always remember the receptionist, when I offered to pay for the 3 nights at check in, she said let pay for today and see how we go. Thank god she did. Moved to the Mandalay bay the following morning. Not sure which is more tragic the buffet or the pool. Tim has been before so he has no excuse 😂
lol it was not to bad in 2006 or tbh I stayed in the towers
To be fair they have upgraded it alot in the past 20 years
What was your beef with the pool?
when i was there it was a building site, but even when fully open its not very imaginative, just a couple of holes in the concrete deck. there are far nicer pool complex's in vegas in my opinion. a bit of landscaping wouldnt go a miss.
Great video as always Tim, was surprised how "reasonable" that room was - was expecting it to be near double that. The sheer scale and commercialisation of it all reminds me why Vegas is one of these places I'd never go to but its always great to see places that you'll never go!
Great video Tim as always enjoy videos lots 😊
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing this walk through. We had stayed there three different times over the years. First time was about a year or so after it opened. Back then they had people who walked around the main areas dressed up as King Tut and Queen Nefertiti who guided you towards the attractions. In the room, the Egyptian theme decorated the cabinets and the shampoo bottles were shaped like obelisks. It's too bad they let that design go was it was really attractive.The rooms also were very bright and cheerful with light colored woods that gave the sense of living in the desert. Luxor is sure showing its age and I hope they redesign the property to make feel new again.
Wow that was interesting Tim. We stayed in the Luxor in 2003, it looks so different not and is showing it's age. We had a room overlooking McCarran airport which was a real treat for me but the prices are so shocking now, don't think I could aford it. Love your vlogs though xx
The ghost not only stole your shorts, but he pulled your fly down also.
I like architectural splendour and this hotel has it in droves. Very impressive atrium and the views from those upper floors !!!
it's great that you can show us this and not break the bank as the price was way below the last hotel Beverley Hills
Faulty lifts ( inclinators ? ! )and musty smell that's every other hotel it seems these days. Plus swimming pool closed bit of neglect going on ?
Great video as always!
Over twenty years ago I stayed there with my mom, she was born in a small town in Bavaria and it was her first trip to the US. I have a picture of her with Dolly Parton hair sitting in the hot tub in front of the pyramid where we had a room. It was snowing that day, thank you for reminding me of that trip, it was such an overwhelming experience.
Looking over the balcony into the atrium, brings on terrible vertigo with me, but a very interesting building. My brother wasn't kidding me when he said hotels in Vegas are huge!
Its crazy to think compared with your other Vegas videos of HUGE hotels, how many tourists are expected at the same time to fill up these places.
I just discovered your channel and I am really enjoying it. Nice to see what I am not missing and at times what I am missing. After watching your video about the Wynn Hotel and then seeing the Luxor one, WOW what a difference. The Wynn is beautiful the Luxor not so much.
Awesome vlog as usual .Love that you covered everything so specifically.The United States does have beautiful things and things that are burned out and kind of ghetto .Would love for you to see my favorite hangout out ..Carmel.The hotels are incredible along with scenery and atmosphere 💕
Your devoted fan from America
American bacon always looks so delicious. Speaking of The Shining, maybe you could save up some pennies and go and check out The Stanley Hotel in Colorado (I think) which was the inspiration for The Overlook…and is apparently the most haunted hotel in America. That would be fascinating.
yes I have been looking at that ;-)
🚪 🪓 “Heeeerrreeeeee’s JOHNNY!”
20:03 Tim's fly is down. lol
Another great review definitely would not stay there if i ever go to Vegas thanks for letting us know Tim 👌👍😎
Wow. I remember staying here in the 90s when it was in it's prime. One thing I really recall was every time I went to look out the window at the view I'd bang my forehead into the window (not expecting the slanted glass)! I also remember my brother staying right next door at the Excalibur. Turns out 'right next door' in Vegas means quite the hike! 🏃♂
This place is incredible: very 'futuristic' looking, and they even have the "Titanic" exhibition that contains actual recovered artifacts from the doomed liner.
You get a ticket with the name of an actual passenger. At the end you get to find out if you drowned. I did.
Great vid! I’ve never been to Vegas but when I do go I had Luxor top of the list to stay but not sure which hotel is the best
Love these videos. I am not a fan of Vegas but many are so great review!
I was there a couple years ago and didn’t wanna stay there for obvious reasons, it’s notorious for a lot of things but my husband doesn’t really believe in ghosts and I stayed awake all night 😂😂
You just saved me from a horrible hotel stay. I cancelled my booking at the Luxor and opted for another location. Thank you !!!!
Omg noooo you didn’t! I have not watched the video yet. But we absolutely loved the experience at Luxor. Like to stay again.
This actually convinced me to stay here. It's really unique. I guess to each their own.
@@max_rove Yes to each his own
i stayed here about 15 years ago in a pyramid room. it was amazing! good video
Thanks from me on the other side of the world ...great reviews , love reviews from people who pay their own way .
DUDE, zip your fly up, could almost see Cleopatra's Needle
ha ha hah
Been a while since I stayed there. Hoping for some good corned-beef-hash-at-the-breakfast-buffet action, Tim
Lol
I always get the hash at the cafe it's excellent
This is pure nostalgia for me. I stayed there as a kid in the early 90s (pretty sure it has just been built). We were on an amazing 3 week family holiday travelling all over the west coast. Best holiday of my life.
I was in Vegas last month but we ran out of time and didn't get to see the Luxor. Thank you for the virtual visit.
Tim, don't put your suitcase on the bed at any point if they had bed bugs. They will climb into your suitcase and then you bring them home 😮
You beat me to it!
Brought home the other crawly things from Malta. Cockroaches
Fascinating look at an American resort hotel. It was a lot cheaper than the Beverly Hill hotel but still expensive compared to the uk and a bit grotty in part. Still, it's an interesting adventure and some great views! - nice one Tim! 👍
Keep up the good work TIM
I loved this video!
The Luxor has a pretty bad reputation these days - I don’t think it would be one I would choose! Didn’t look great…
Smelly takes me right out. I’m old. Allergies are bad so like I said smell would get me right out.
Hey Tim, the Luxor looks huge but the rooms look very dated. Oh btw you left your zip open on your shorts mate 😂 it’s while your explaining you forgot your swim shorts
I know it was the trauma of losing them lol
Excellent video, we just got back on Monday, stayed at Best Western paid half your price and next to Venetian, also both lifts broke down, strange?, room has a kitchenette free coffee / tea !! We stayed at Luxor over 10 years ago all was good including fridge a drinks, most Hotels have removed that to make lots of money in the Café, our Hotel is tired but is getting big revamp next year 2024. Take care George 👍
Great video
not even remotely worth what you paid.
agree
Doesn't look like it's worth staying there, a bit depressing really.
Lol! Few years ago, I booked a suite for a ludicrously small fee at the Luxor. We looked out on the Sphinx’s rear end every morning! Nice hotel and wonderful room. We just left the drapes closed.
Im getting more and more jealous with these travel blog literally 😍impressive never ever heard of a pyramid hotel or seen literally amazinggg ❤could literally get lost its huge ❤guess thats why not on top notch as to much to provide for🥺🥺 great blog once again .❤xx
