I dont know why people have so many bad things to say about the luxor hotel my wife and I stayed here every time we come to Vegas and have had no complaints or bad experiences ,rooms are very nice & comfortable beds ,great buffet,great steak house restaurant, good food court thats reasonably priced for most meals ,close to everything easy access to Mandalay Bay would definitely stay there again.
I agree! I totally disagree with this assessment of Luxor! My wife and I have been going there since it came online and we just booked a room for mid June!
We stay at the Luxor when we go to Vegas. I would add several to your pro list: great customer service-everywhere, spa, location to Allegiant Stadium and T Mobile
Me and my wife stayed at Luxor two years ago (we stayed for a day and the remaining 5 days at Flamingo) and we loved it there. We really liked the pool as well. We didn't get to do much here, but we'll probably check out Play (maybe with some of our friends that live in North Las Vegas) when we fly in 3 weeks from now. Check in was a breeze. The thing that helped us location wise was the stuff we wanted to do south strip we did on that day and then when we went to Flamingo for the following days, we were able to do everything else. The room did the trick. We saw it more as a place to sleep rather than a place to stay; we were hardly in the room. If I had a luxury room, then oh yes. I would want to get as much out of the room as possible. The price is right for the Luxor.
100% what you said about people who hate on Luxor not being the ones who’ve never stayed there. It’s not a super luxurious property, and it never was! It’s always been a kitschy fun hotel! I’ve stayed there quite a lot in Vegas and every time it’s been pretty good!
The little kid in me always loves to visit Luxor when I’m in Vegas. I just get a rush walking under that pyramid and up to the obelisk. Their buffet is pretty 2 out of 5 stars, but it does look cool! I’ve heard good things about Carrot Top’s show.
Nice video Jordan! I have never stayed at Luxor. The closest to there I have stayed was at the Four Seasons inside Mandalay Bay and I am not sure the Four Seasons is still there. I gambled at Luxor and I agree with your critique of the casino. The vibe was weird and uncomfortable which is a no no if you are a serious gambler. However, based on your review, I will have to give Luxor a try especially with those low prices early in the week. Thank you for all your effort in educating us about Las Vegas. Your productions are always top notch and entertaining to watch!
Booked a Pyramid Elite Suite last summer. Prior to checking in on the app my room was upgraded to a 3000 sq ft tower penthouse suite. I don’t know why or how, I visit 4-5 times a year, but don’t gamble much. I’m still only Sapphire. Anyways, $643 total for three nights in the penthouse was amazing
I stayed at the Luxor last summer and had a good experience. I was reluctant to do so as it was getting a lot of negative reviews. I was in the Towers as well (eastern side/airport view), but had a step down without the wet bar or small 'fridge. It was a decent room. Fairly clean but had a 'old' smell. The bathroom was in a bit of disrepair as well, but overall happy with it. Just walking around the Luxor is still fun... there's a lot to check out (especially if you are an Ancient Egyptian enthusiast). Another great video - thanks for all the news and reviews!
I learned if you stay at the Luxor Excalibur and Mandalay Bay you can take the monorail from mgm grand to the end of the strip. True not the greatest but definitely helps saving on feeling sore when walking
I stayed at the Luxor in December 2023 and I had a wonderful time. My room was large, clean, everything I needed. I enjoy the Luxor's theme and its amenities. I'm staying here again in two months when I play at the WSOP. There is nothing wrong about the Luxor. in fact, I recommend staying there :)
Hey Sir Jordan ! I stayed one night at Luxor in 2022 in the pyramid as I came in a day early before my stay at Bellagio. The room was decent but that crazy slanted elevator that moves sideways put me over the edge lol . On the whole it’s a good low tier property . I agree with you for the price point the value is there . I really love the outside Egyptian theming. Probably won’t stay again as I prefer Aria and Bellagio but for a night it’s doable . Great review 😎😎😎
I stayed in one of the 2 queen tower rooms back in 2019 and found the room very nice for being a comped room for 3 nights. I took my sister down to see a live recording of her favorite podcast for her birthday and that started the tradition of us doing a Vegas trip together each February to celebrate our birthdays and get away from the cold for a few days. I generally agree with you. I like the property but can't stand the casino. and the location isn't great but it is a location I would stay again because of the over all value.
Thank you for the video. Booked one night in May in the exact room type you stayed at. But also dabbling on the idea to stay at Paris Versailles room instead. Never stayed at both in the past.
Luxor is very good for what it is. They don't pretend to be upscale. They get a decent amount of family business because of their attractions but nothing, thank God, like Excalibur next door. I am a big fan of Public House as its one of the better Strip area sports bars and prices aren't egregious. For most other meals I would patronize the better IMHO restaurants @Mandalay, NYNY and ParkMGM
We stayed at Luxor in the pyramid and it was better than expected. We were booking 2 rooms so needed affordabilty. My biggest complaint was the pool area wasn't great and they closed most pools.
I like the Luxor because I’m a huge nerd for ancient Egypt, even though they’ve toned the theme down a lot in recent years. I like that it’s away from the center of the strip. It’s showing its age and could definitely use a refresh (I also haven’t been since 2019 and always in a pyramid suite), but next time I go that’s where I’ll stay (or probably Mandalay Bay tbh).
Thank you for taking the time to make a helpful and informative video. I was going to stay at the Luxor until I decided to go for broke, and book at the Cosmopolitan, for my trip in June. Again, Thank you for a great video. I’m looking forward to the buffet review.✌️
I agree with your review of Luxor. We've stayed there 3 times in the last year and have eaten at Diablos, Public House, Tender, and the Buffet. Buffet is not very good, Tender was very good. Not the best Steakhouse but definitely worth the money.
I've actually stayed at Luxor one time.....way back in 1999! Granted, then it was more newish, and had great connections to the airport. The tower was unique, and the elevator there was listed as a drawing point (due to the 45 degree incline). Yes, connected to both Mandalay Bay and Excalibur then, too...and, definitely not a dump by any means. 😊😊😊
While I have never stayed at Luxor, as I usually stay at The Delano next door, I have eaten at the steakhouse and Diablo's. The steakhouse is fine, but Diablo's has not been good either time I've been there. I usually like something more upscale but I would stay at Luxor.
"A bit of deferred maintenance..." is putting it mildly. I also stayed in one of the Tower rooms in October, 2023 and was shocked at the condition of the shower caulking and floor grout. It looked as if nothing had been done in regards to upkeep since the tower opened.... just as your video showed.
Last year, we stayed there in East Tower. I liked the facility. Plenty of places to go, and it was a calm and dark facility. You can walk to other properties or take the tram. I enjoyed it.
My wife and I are planning a trip to Vegas she’s never been. On a budget I thought about Luxor been years since I stayed there. Great video and awesome information.
Thanks for the videos on the Luxor! We have our first trip to Vegas in July coming up and your videos are super helpful. Your Luxor tour was awesome too ❤ thank you for the MGM rewards tip as well, I downloaded the app and got my 4 night stay totally comped and only pay resort fees for the whole trip
I am a sucker for the pyramid rooms. Not the best in town, but I find them reasonable. I can't remember if you've done one, but consider a room review of the Delano. I love that place.
Even though the pyramid rooms aren't as nice, there's something cool about staying in them! We did do a Delano video a little less than a year ago if you scroll down on the channel page. Thanks for watching!
I just got back last night from the Luxor staying for a convention. Big pros - clean, super great staff, fun theme, nice pool, comfy beds,. Big con - self parking (it sucks everywhere on the strip i think but oof), loud gold tower room in afternoons overlooking pool. Try booking the east tower to avoid that. Do NOT self park, bring your comfortable shoes, everything is far from everything else, make sure your room as a coffee maker if you don't like overpriced starbucks rot gut. Bring Conditioner of your hair ladies, my shower didn't have any. Suggest fly in and take uber/taxi, not self parking.
Love the new carpet. Its gives the casino some life and maybe I would stay linger and play. Brightens it up. The rooms do need a upgrade. Hope the Luxor is around forever its a great theme casino. Great video
I totally agree with your statement in your closing about the tram and walking between the three south properties. It did come in handy for me because I was staying at NYNY and used it for convenience. But , yes, if I was staying at Luxor, I agree with just using the walkways instead
Luxor is my favorite budget place to stay if Im paying out of pocket or for weekends. Close enough to T Mobile arena and far enough where it doesn't get affected by surge pricing too much by events at T Mobile (unlike NY NY and Park MGM). As much as I'm tempted to pay for a nice ultra luxury place like the Wynn/Encore, I rather drop 300-400 for whole weekend at Luxor than $500 for one night at the Wynn.
We just stayed here last weekend, 13 & 14th in the pyramid and wow what a difference in the rooms. We had a corner king suite and it was extremely outdated, no closet, just a small wardrobe and the plugs were nowhere near the bedside tables. There was one behind the middle of the bed that couldn’t be reached. The room was giant and pretty clean though, the giant tub in the room was nice but the faucets were ancient, a little corroded and the faucet to fill it was so loud you couldn’t hear each other talk sitting next to each other. Overall we had a good stay but would probably stay in a tower or someplace else if we wanted a nicer, more updated room.
You know what I find funny about those tubs, is that it’s just a tub. One would think they would have invested the money and bought whirlpools or something that has water jets.
@Show Me Vegas Great job! I gotta say, the wife and I have been in the Luxor many times and we had the EXACT same opinion of pretty much everything that you did. Especially the restaraunts. Diablo's was WAY better when it was out front of the then Monte Carlo. (Now Park MGM) It's now WAY overpriced and the food isn't nearly as good. $30 for three tacos? PLEASE! This also applies to the Diablo's at The Mirage/Hard Rock. (if it's still open). Also agree on Public House. We feel it's a hidden gem of a sportsbar! Anyway, great job! As fellow Missourians, we hope to run into you someday!
I stayed at Excalibur, NYNY & MGM Grand in my previous visits but I really like the Luxor better that others as in looks and things to do. I went to the Bodies & King Tut exhibits both were great and it worth visit for tourist, in addition to the Blue Man Group show that was very exciting. Thanks for the room and casino review Jordan. I might get a premium or suite at the Luxor on my next visit since I get free comp rooms at MGM properties. Also, did you do a room review of Casino Royale on the LV strip yet?
Thanks so much! This has been very helpful. I want to make a Vegas trip this year and I'm looking for on-strip, but relatively affordable and with a decent pool. It seems to fit the bill! Not much of a gambler myself and I've been to Vegas before so I appreciate the review. I like how close it is to the airport, so it's extreme south strip location is actually an asset, at least to me!
There are really only two things wrong with Luxor: the inclinators are always broken, and its hard to get to any other property aside from Excalibur. The issue is those are two HUGE negatives.
I like those rooms. I stayed in one back in Nov 2021 and they had the coffee maker, but no coffee 🙄. Edit: 14204 is the exact room I had. That makes it the second time I've seen a TH-cam video of Luxor where I stayed in the same room. I remember the shelf the fridge sat on had some water damage. Looks like they actually fixed it, lol.
Have lived in Las Vegas nearly 20 years. Prior to that, stayed in the Luxor a long time ago, so long in fact that the Mandalay Bay was just a dirt lot recently cleared of the old Hacienda resort. Yes, that long ago. Stayed in the pyramid rooms. At the time, it was considered an upper end property. I can't imagine coming to Las Vegas on vacation and the reason I stayed there then; was in the Air Force, here for Red Flag and they put some us of up there - amazingly. I think that was 1994.
My personal favorite Vegas places to stay in no order: Wynn, Encore, Strat, Luxor, MGM, Mandalay Bay, and even Excalibur. Things I enjoy are the casino slots, food, pool, bed, in room coffee machines, easy parking. 👌
I had a pyramid room. It was fine. It was clean and I needed a place to sleep. Then I got an upgrade to the towers (due to my room key not working). I was given a room in the east towers. I mean it was nice and all. Only complaint I would have is,. It is a long walk to the dang towers. I could get on the pyramid evaluators and into my room pronto. The towers. Naw. That's ok.
Luxor is never my first pick for a stay in Vegas, based strictly on the location. I usually prefer to be somewhere mid-strip so that I can be "in the action" (which is the same reason I don't usually recommend it to Vegas first-timers). I've stayed here a TON of times over the last several years and I've had a mixed bag of experiences. I've had excellent stays with no issues...and I've had bad stays with several issues. The property is in need of some TLC and seems to be getting it.
The thing that I hate the most now is if there is a concert or some other event at allegiant stadium, they sell parking spots and the actual guests may have a hard time finding a parking spot if they go anywhere.
I appreciate the value but it just doesn't feel like a resort to me. It seems more like a mall with a hotel. Very utilitarian design and cavernous. Once you get past Excalibur, that part of the Strip seems a lot less busy to me. I like being in the heart of the action near mid-Strip. Great review and I agree with you! Thanks for the review!
Awesome I will have to stay here sometime, hopefully it's after all the carpet renovations. I wonder if a new show will go in where AGT is at, also don't know why they're leaving unless it just wasn't that profitable.
Never stays in Luxor because bad reviewed, but since I see your video. It looks very and it has refrigerator. Wow, that’s nice. I wonder they remodel only this particular room or they did that to all the rooms?
Para mí no importa lo que digan de mí Luxor para mí es excelente yo adoro mi Luxor voy dos o tres veces al año y solo quiero Luxor me encanta la amabilidad de sus personas que trabajan en ese Hotel. Me encanta sus restaurantes. Y aparte de todo yo he ganado en el Luxor adoro el Luxor 100 % y yo lo recomiendo. Yo me hospedo en las Towers, no entiendo porque mucha gente habla mal de Luxor si para mí es una chulada lo repito una chulada y no lo cambio por nada vivo en California no vivo en Las Vegas
Luxor hotel itself is absolutely amazing ! However… on occasions multiple elevators will break down at the same time , causing a slight backup. One can sit on a pyramid floor for 10 mins before an elevator shows up. And the pyramid cafe is not good. Not even close to being good . Borderline inedible. I would tell you the best spot for breakfast in Vegas but I don’t want it to get any busier
About time they changed out the carpet there! It smelled of smoke, spilled alcohol and tears of disappointment. Pro: it's close to Allegiant Stadium so you can stay there to watch your Chiefs beat up on the Raiders 😂
There is nothing wrong with staying at Luxor for a lower budget vacation. I don’t care for their dining options, but you have easy access to nicer dining at Mandalay Bay and better fast food options at Excalibur. The Luxor buffet is horrible, avoid at all costs. I also don’t like the casino at Luxor, and wish they hadn’t removed so much of the Egyptian themed design. The real problem with Luxor is that there are better budget options on the Las Vegas Strip, including NY-NY, Park MGM and Planet Hollywood.
@@ShowMeVegas good point, if paying with cash or credit cards. Happily my MGM Rewards comps gives me 4 nights free and reduced rates of $10 - $20 a night for any additional nights. 🤗
Rooms definitely needed to be refreshed and bring back the coffee pots and microwave! And I really would prefer to get a smoking room so I don't have to go all the way down to the casino floor just to smoke!
The last time I stayed at Luxor all of the trash cans in the elevator lobbies were overflowing the entire trip. There was graffiti scratched into every elevator interior. The hallways in the pyramid REEKED of weed. I won’t be staying in the pyramid again.
Fill the sink full of ice and you have a mini cooler. #themoreyouknow 😅 Blue man was the worse and only show we ever walked out of. Diablos was so much better when it was in front of the Monte Carlo. We too have been going to Vegas for a long time. 😆
Leaving today. Stayed at Luxor. Find that the staff overall was awful. Not public minded at all. Some were rude and very rude. With the enormous increases in everything, seems that employees should be a little more customer friendly.
I dont get the legit hate towards Luxor. Is it a lower end budget option, yea, but that still fills a need for lots of people. Public house and Tender are solid options, plus 5-8 other restaurants connected at MB/Delano, pretty decent pools. The only big negative is the location, sure you can uber places, but if you dont like to do that then you are basically south strip only
Living near vegas for a while now and its still neat to see tourist excited about the strip, would i stay on the strip? Maybe, at luxor definitely not buy cant beat value. The gf works on the strip next time might refer her to you for marketing stuff at hard rock
Meh. I think Luxor looked a lot nicer before MGM owned it. The flaws in the room along with those table minimums, I think I'd pass. Appreciate the review!
Luxor is definetly haunted what is strange is that it has had the most suicides there more then any hotel on the strip. Many people say walking to there pyramid room they feel really uncomfortable and eerie.
Nice price but rooms don’t even have coffee machines🤣 no hot tubs and pool isn’t even heated so closed in winter. Ok if you like paying $35 for buffets or go cheap with the hot dogs and pizza upstairs🤣 there’s a good Mexican restaurant but that’s it and it’s expensive 🤷♂️ bc the cafe is closed except for breakfast and lunch. if you want to pay $$$ to see the blue man group go for it🤣 beautiful view of the airport and sunsets but after exploring the shops and taking pictures in front of the Egyptian architecture there’s Nothing To Do🤷♂️. California’s big hotel chains will quit offering single use items in the future like shampoo and body wash soaps etc.
Luxor definitely gets such an undeserved bad rep. I often see it included in Top Five Worst Vegas Resorts lists and...............I really don't get it. I respect people's individual opinions but in my mind I'm like, "ARE we looking at the same resort here?" 🤷♀ Now don't get me wrong: I'm certainly NOT suggesting that it's among the ten best resorts on the Strip either. I'm certainly not. But the point is: Luxor isn't trying to be something it's not. It KNOWS it's between a three and a four-star resort and it definitely looks and feels the part. I think a considerable chunk of those who consider Luxor a Top Five Worst Vegas Resort just have inflated, unrealistic expectations for the resort going in: like they had literally stayed at Wynn/Encore, Fontainebleau, Cosmopolitan, Bellagio.............resorts like that immediately beforehand. And yeah: on the surface Luxor would certainly feel like a downgrade coming on the heels of those resorts among a few others............but, again, LUXOR ISN'T TRYING TO BE ANY OF THOSE RESORTS! And for a resort between three and four stars: it delivers pretty solidly in most areas. You have recently renovated rooms overall in both the Tower and Pyramid (I definitely prefer the Tower rooms personally but the renovated Pyramid rooms are also quite decent), you have a standard pool I'd consider on the better half of all Vegas Strip standard pools that's certainly not amazing but still quite enjoyable, you have a pretty stacked entertainment lineup, and then you have their new ace in the sleeve: PLAY Playground: which I can already tell is really breathing some new, youthful life into the resort commons that was greatly needed and is successfully pulling in some of the AREA15 crowd. 🙂 Luxor obviously has its flaws. I will admit that their casino floor is one of the ugliest on the entire Strip with all the dusty browns and so forth. I know they've been replacing the carpet and I will admit it does look better than it did, but I'd still consider it among the worse half of Vegas casino floors aesthetically and in terms of feng shui. Also: they're lacking in decent dining options. Diablo's Cantina is pretty cool and kind of affordable, Public House is serviceable and Tender Steakhouse is alright, but otherwise you're pretty much limited to fast food and an overpriced breakfast spot Pyramid Cafe paying double the price of what you typically pay for the same thing off-Strip with abysmal food quality that just isn't worth it. I also think they need one or two more lounges as the only two standouts as of right now there are Aurora (which I've always liked), and the new lounge inside PLAY Playground which IS a VERY welcome addition. But that's about it and I think they'd definitely benefit from one or two more alongside some more distinct dining concepts. But yeah: all in all I really like Luxor. I'm not going to be disingenuous and claim it's among the cream of the crop on the Strip because it certainly isn't............but I can also confidently say I'll take Luxor over almost any Eldorado-era Caesars resort right now with the possible exception of Planet Hollywood, MAYBE Paris..........as well as T.I. I acknowledge that may not sound like the most confidence-instilling endorsement of Luxor on the surface, but when you consider the fact that Luxor is essentially a three-and-a-half star resort..............and Caesars Palace is considered a four-star resort along with Cromwell, Planet Hollywood and the LINQ, and the only other resorts in MGM Resorts' portfolio directly comparable to Luxor are Excalibur and New York New York.............that's actually a pretty glowing endorsement in a bigger picture perspective comparing all the between three and four star resorts with each other. 🙂 If you were to ask me to tier-rank Luxor, I'd say it's somewhere between a B- and a C+. I definitely think it punches above its weight relative to other resorts in its class as I aforementioned, and that's why I have a considerable respect for Luxor. I'd definitely recommend it especially to budget-minded travelers as well as first-timers who want to have a great first impression of Vegas but are maybe a bit intimidated by going with a more over-the-top leviathan resort right off the bat. Kudos as always for your great reviews! 😇
I dont know why people have so many bad things to say about the luxor hotel my wife and I stayed here every time we come to Vegas and have had no complaints or bad experiences ,rooms are very nice & comfortable beds ,great buffet,great steak house restaurant, good food court thats reasonably priced for most meals ,close to everything easy access to Mandalay Bay would definitely stay there again.
It’s unnecessarily hated on, for sure. Thanks for watching!
It’s in my top 3 least favorite places I’ve stayed in Vegas
I agree! I totally disagree with this assessment of Luxor! My wife and I have been going there since it came online and we just booked a room for mid June!
It's un bearable. You try it
@@mmirl9859 you gave no reason for your comment. fail.
We stay at the Luxor when we go to Vegas. I would add several to your pro list: great customer service-everywhere, spa, location to Allegiant Stadium and T Mobile
I was at the opening of Luxor in 1993 always have a soft spot for this Hotel. Casino bar hop down the strip then you don’t feel tired.
1993!!!
Me and my wife stayed at Luxor two years ago (we stayed for a day and the remaining 5 days at Flamingo) and we loved it there. We really liked the pool as well.

Luxor has a unique theme that some people might not be broadminded enough to appreciate. For me, it is beautifully majestic.
I stayed there last month and it was definitely a hit. I enjoyed my stay.
The little kid in me always loves to visit Luxor when I’m in Vegas. I just get a rush walking under that pyramid and up to the obelisk. Their buffet is pretty 2 out of 5 stars, but it does look cool! I’ve heard good things about Carrot Top’s show.
Carrot Top is surprisingly good, we’ve seen him twice!
Just seen him this week he was great better then I expected.

Great job I stay Luxor every year I go to Vegas because of price and is the closer to and from the airport
Great review thank you. I prefer staying in the pyramid though but I really liked the Tower suites and the wet bar 🍻
Thanks for watching!

I had the same room back in January. Went solo and was fine with it. Reminded me of mgms basic rooms except you get a fridge.

The inclinators are pretty rough and you always feel like they're about to break down!
I stayed in one of the 2 queen tower rooms back in 2019 and found the room very nice for being a comped room for 3 nights. I took my sister down to see a live recording of her favorite podcast for her birthday and that started the tradition of us doing a Vegas trip together each February to celebrate our birthdays and get away from the cold for a few days. I generally agree with you. I like the property but can't stand the casino. and the location isn't great but it is a location I would stay again because of the over all value.
That new carpet is wonderful!! Best carpet ive seen in vegas. Very artistic!
It’s pretty cool, the new carpet at NY NY gets my vote, though! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video. Booked one night in May in the exact room type you stayed at. But also dabbling on the idea to stay at Paris Versailles room instead. Never stayed at both in the past.
If you choose the Versailles tower just be aware it’s really just a remodeled Horseshoe room. It’s not at all like staying at Paris.
Luxor is very good for what it is. They don't pretend to be upscale. They get a decent amount of family business because of their attractions but nothing, thank God, like Excalibur next door.
I am a big fan of Public House as its one of the better Strip area sports bars and prices aren't egregious. For most other meals I would patronize the better IMHO restaurants @Mandalay, NYNY and ParkMGM
We stayed at Luxor in the pyramid and it was better than expected. We were booking 2 rooms so needed affordabilty. My biggest complaint was the pool area wasn't great and they closed most pools.
Great video - I love Luxor never stayed in tower so enjoyed the room tour. I actually like the casino and the chill vibe. New subscriber
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the sub!

Last year, we stayed there in East Tower. I liked the facility. Plenty of places to go, and it was a calm and dark facility. You can walk to other properties or take the tram. I enjoyed it.
My wife and I are planning a trip to Vegas she’s never been. On a budget I thought about Luxor been years since I stayed there. Great video and awesome information.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Luxor is a hidden gem in my opinion. Nothing super special, but the value is awesome in my opinion.
It is a good value, for sure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the videos on the Luxor! We have our first trip to Vegas in July coming up and your videos are super helpful. Your Luxor tour was awesome too ❤ thank you for the MGM rewards tip as well, I downloaded the app and got my 4 night stay totally comped and only pay resort fees for the whole trip
I am a sucker for the pyramid rooms. Not the best in town, but I find them reasonable. I can't remember if you've done one, but consider a room review of the Delano. I love that place.
Even though the pyramid rooms aren't as nice, there's something cool about staying in them! We did do a Delano video a little less than a year ago if you scroll down on the channel page. Thanks for watching!
I just got back last night from the Luxor staying for a convention. Big pros - clean, super great staff, fun theme, nice pool, comfy beds,. Big con - self parking (it sucks everywhere on the strip i think but oof), loud gold tower room in afternoons overlooking pool. Try booking the east tower to avoid that. Do NOT self park, bring your comfortable shoes, everything is far from everything else, make sure your room as a coffee maker if you don't like overpriced starbucks rot gut. Bring Conditioner of your hair ladies, my shower didn't have any. Suggest fly in and take uber/taxi, not self parking.
Love the new carpet. Its gives the casino some life and maybe I would stay linger and play. Brightens it up. The rooms do need a upgrade. Hope the Luxor is around forever its a great theme casino. Great video
It definitely helps the look (and smell) of the casino. Thanks for watching!
I totally agree with your statement in your closing about the tram and walking between the three south properties. It did come in handy for me because I was staying at NYNY and used it for convenience. But , yes, if I was staying at Luxor, I agree with just using the walkways instead
18:53 You can take a free Tram from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur - shortcut to the Strip
The Luxor Tower rooms are low key such a steal for the price! They are some of nicest basic rooms on The Strip!
Luxor is my favorite budget place to stay if Im paying out of pocket or for weekends. Close enough to T Mobile arena and far enough where it doesn't get affected by surge pricing too much by events at T Mobile (unlike NY NY and Park MGM). As much as I'm tempted to pay for a nice ultra luxury place like the Wynn/Encore, I rather drop 300-400 for whole weekend at Luxor than $500 for one night at the Wynn.
We just stayed here last weekend, 13 & 14th in the pyramid and wow what a difference in the rooms. We had a corner king suite and it was extremely outdated, no closet, just a small wardrobe and the plugs were nowhere near the bedside tables. There was one behind the middle of the bed that couldn’t be reached. The room was giant and pretty clean though, the giant tub in the room was nice but the faucets were ancient, a little corroded and the faucet to fill it was so loud you couldn’t hear each other talk sitting next to each other. Overall we had a good stay but would probably stay in a tower or someplace else if we wanted a nicer, more updated room.
You know what I find funny about those tubs, is that it’s just a tub. One would think they would have invested the money and bought whirlpools or something that has water jets.
I stayed in the towers last year, great rooms,big bathrooms..im going in May and staying in the pyramid this time
@Show Me Vegas Great job! I gotta say, the wife and I have been in the Luxor many times and we had the EXACT same opinion of pretty much everything that you did. Especially the restaraunts. Diablo's was WAY better when it was out front of the then Monte Carlo. (Now Park MGM) It's now WAY overpriced and the food isn't nearly as good. $30 for three tacos? PLEASE! This also applies to the Diablo's at The Mirage/Hard Rock. (if it's still open). Also agree on Public House. We feel it's a hidden gem of a sportsbar! Anyway, great job! As fellow Missourians, we hope to run into you someday!
Prices were always the issue with Diablo's your memory is flawed.
@@Paul-ew5st Prices were always high (strip prices), but now they are just stupid.
I stayed at Excalibur, NYNY & MGM Grand in my previous visits but I really like the Luxor better that others as in looks and things to do. I went to the Bodies & King Tut exhibits both were great and it worth visit for tourist, in addition to the Blue Man Group show that was very exciting.
Thanks for the room and casino review Jordan. I might get a premium or suite at the Luxor on my next visit since I get free comp rooms at MGM properties.
Also, did you do a room review of Casino Royale on the LV strip yet?
No, we’ve never had the inclination to stay there. And since it’s probably going away soon we likely never will. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much! This has been very helpful. I want to make a Vegas trip this year and I'm looking for on-strip, but relatively affordable and with a decent pool. It seems to fit the bill! Not much of a gambler myself and I've been to Vegas before so I appreciate the review. I like how close it is to the airport, so it's extreme south strip location is actually an asset, at least to me!
There are really only two things wrong with Luxor: the inclinators are always broken, and its hard to get to any other property aside from Excalibur. The issue is those are two HUGE negatives.
If you turn the other direction, you have mandalay bay and its shops and restaurants connected to luxor too
@@matthewmaggio6278 true, but those three properties feel like an island. Its a pain in the ass to get to nyny or park mgm, or anywhere else
This is right on time, I was on the fence with Luxor
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
I like those rooms. I stayed in one back in Nov 2021 and they had the coffee maker, but no coffee 🙄. Edit: 14204 is the exact room I had. That makes it the second time I've seen a TH-cam video of Luxor where I stayed in the same room. I remember the shelf the fridge sat on had some water damage. Looks like they actually fixed it, lol.
That's bizarre!
Have lived in Las Vegas nearly 20 years. Prior to that, stayed in the Luxor a long time ago, so long in fact that the Mandalay Bay was just a dirt lot recently cleared of the old Hacienda resort. Yes, that long ago. Stayed in the pyramid rooms. At the time, it was considered an upper end property. I can't imagine coming to Las Vegas on vacation and the reason I stayed there then; was in the Air Force, here for Red Flag and they put some us of up there - amazingly. I think that was 1994.
My personal favorite Vegas places to stay in no order: Wynn, Encore, Strat, Luxor, MGM, Mandalay Bay, and even Excalibur. Things I enjoy are the casino slots, food, pool, bed, in room coffee machines, easy parking. 👌
That's quite a wide range of hotels! Thanks for watching!
Great hotel
I will be staying there in August
I had a pyramid room. It was fine. It was clean and I needed a place to sleep. Then I got an upgrade to the towers (due to my room key not working). I was given a room in the east towers. I mean it was nice and all. Only complaint I would have is,. It is a long walk to the dang towers. I could get on the pyramid evaluators and into my room pronto. The towers. Naw. That's ok.
Location was perfect for the Super Bowl! I had great time, except my 49ers lost a ❤breaker. Recommended for Allegiant Stadium events.
Luxor is never my first pick for a stay in Vegas, based strictly on the location. I usually prefer to be somewhere mid-strip so that I can be "in the action" (which is the same reason I don't usually recommend it to Vegas first-timers).
I've stayed here a TON of times over the last several years and I've had a mixed bag of experiences. I've had excellent stays with no issues...and I've had bad stays with several issues.
The property is in need of some TLC and seems to be getting it.
The thing that I hate the most now is if there is a concert or some other event at allegiant stadium, they sell parking spots and the actual guests may have a hard time finding a parking spot if they go anywhere.
I always stay at Luxor I love it! great video!!
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate the value but it just doesn't feel like a resort to me. It seems more like a mall with a hotel. Very utilitarian design and cavernous. Once you get past Excalibur, that part of the Strip seems a lot less busy to me. I like being in the heart of the action near mid-Strip. Great review and I agree with you! Thanks for the review!
Very cool this is the way a review is supposed to be.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
Awesome I will have to stay here sometime, hopefully it's after all the carpet renovations. I wonder if a new show will go in where AGT is at, also don't know why they're leaving unless it just wasn't that profitable.
Not sure if there's anything planned for that theater yet or not!
Never stays in Luxor because bad reviewed, but since I see your video. It looks very and it has refrigerator. Wow, that’s nice. I wonder they remodel only this particular room or they did that to all the rooms?
Para mí no importa lo que digan de mí Luxor para mí es excelente yo adoro mi Luxor voy dos o tres veces al año y solo quiero Luxor me encanta la amabilidad de sus personas que trabajan en ese Hotel. Me encanta sus restaurantes. Y aparte de todo yo he ganado en el Luxor adoro el Luxor 100 % y yo lo recomiendo. Yo me hospedo en las Towers, no entiendo porque mucha gente habla mal de Luxor si para mí es una chulada lo repito una chulada y no lo cambio por nada vivo en California no vivo en Las Vegas
Luxor hotel itself is absolutely amazing !
However… on occasions multiple elevators will break down at the same time , causing a slight backup. One can sit on a pyramid floor for 10 mins before an elevator shows up.
And the pyramid cafe is not good. Not even close to being good . Borderline inedible.
I would tell you the best spot for breakfast in Vegas but I don’t want it to get any busier
The Luxor hotel is one of my favorite hotels in las Vegas
So glad they're changing out that old, ugly carpet before my stay in a few months. Big plus!
Hopefully it still smells new by then!
About time they changed out the carpet there! It smelled of smoke, spilled alcohol and tears of disappointment.
Pro: it's close to Allegiant Stadium so you can stay there to watch your Chiefs beat up on the Raiders 😂
Great description of the carpet smell, I knew it smelled familiar but I couldn't quite place that last "ingredient"!
There is nothing wrong with staying at Luxor for a lower budget vacation. I don’t care for their dining options, but you have easy access to nicer dining at Mandalay Bay and better fast food options at Excalibur. The Luxor buffet is horrible, avoid at all costs. I also don’t like the casino at Luxor, and wish they hadn’t removed so much of the Egyptian themed design.
The real problem with Luxor is that there are better budget options on the Las Vegas Strip, including NY-NY, Park MGM and Planet Hollywood.
All three of those, however, are considerably more expensive. They’re more mid-range than budget. Thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeVegas good point, if paying with cash or credit cards. Happily my MGM Rewards comps gives me 4 nights free and reduced rates of $10 - $20 a night for any additional nights. 🤗
Rooms definitely needed to be refreshed and bring back the coffee pots and microwave! And I really would prefer to get a smoking room so I don't have to go all the way down to the casino floor just to smoke!
The last time I stayed at Luxor all of the trash cans in the elevator lobbies were overflowing the entire trip. There was graffiti scratched into every elevator interior. The hallways in the pyramid REEKED of weed. I won’t be staying in the pyramid again.
Fill the sink full of ice and you have a mini cooler. #themoreyouknow 😅
Blue man was the worse and only show we ever walked out of. Diablos was so much better when it was in front of the Monte Carlo. We too have been going to Vegas for a long time. 😆
The sink cooler is an old trick that we will never trust the cleanliness of the sink enough to try…
Thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeVegas don't use the ice for drinks. Just keep your cans cold.
Leaving today. Stayed at Luxor. Find that the staff overall was awful. Not public minded at all. Some were rude and very rude. With the enormous increases in everything, seems that employees should be a little more customer friendly.
That white shirt reminds me of Charmin 😂. Same print.
What is the My Vegas reward? I’ve heard a few others mention it as well. We’re going back in August and would like to use it if we can.
MyVEGAS is a game. You can find it in the App Store. There are multiple variations of it that all earn points that can be redeemed for rewards.
I can navigate through Luxor way easier than the mgm grand, Caesar’s or the grand canal shoppes
Yep. That's part of the appeal. Thanks for watching!
Well Done!!!
Appreciate it!
I dont get the legit hate towards Luxor. Is it a lower end budget option, yea, but that still fills a need for lots of people.
Public house and Tender are solid options, plus 5-8 other restaurants connected at MB/Delano, pretty decent pools.
The only big negative is the location, sure you can uber places, but if you dont like to do that then you are basically south strip only
I have found the west tower to be the worst. Its like they pay more attention to the east tower then the west.
I loved the Luxor!
What was the exact name of this tower room so i can find it when booking?
@@shawnp8076 it’s a Tower Elite King
@ShowMeVegas thanks for quick response 👍
Does the pyramid rooms come with the mini fridge?
Unfortunately, no. Thanks for watching!
Thanks 😊
Living near vegas for a while now and its still neat to see tourist excited about the strip, would i stay on the strip? Maybe, at luxor definitely not buy cant beat value. The gf works on the strip next time might refer her to you for marketing stuff at hard rock
Meh. I think Luxor looked a lot nicer before MGM owned it. The flaws in the room along with those table minimums, I think I'd pass. Appreciate the review!
thanks for another great review! Just curious, how long does it take for a vegas carpet to become smelly again? lol
Good question! Probably about a week! 😂
No USB charging ports by the bed is asinine. It doesn't cost a fortune to have them installed.
Luxor is definetly haunted what is strange is that it has had the most suicides there more then any hotel on the strip. Many people say walking to there pyramid room they feel really uncomfortable and eerie.
That's why I fuck with it.
Anybody know how much it is to rent a cabana at the pool?
They have a website for cabana bookings. pools.mgmresorts.com
Depends on day, area, and size. Pricing is on the website.
We have stayed once, it was dated but ok.... just never had luck there.
A worker lost his life , as it was being built. I was at the Excalibur. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
More than one construction worker. The records are a bit murky but it was at least 3 and maybe as many as 7.
@@ShowMeVegas that really sucks
Nice price but rooms don’t even have coffee machines🤣 no hot tubs and pool isn’t even heated so closed in winter. Ok if you like paying $35 for buffets or go cheap with the hot dogs and pizza upstairs🤣 there’s a good Mexican restaurant but that’s it and it’s expensive 🤷♂️ bc the cafe is closed except for breakfast and lunch. if you want to pay $$$ to see the blue man group go for it🤣 beautiful view of the airport and sunsets but after exploring the shops and taking pictures in front of the Egyptian architecture there’s Nothing To Do🤷♂️. California’s big hotel chains will quit offering single use items in the future like shampoo and body wash soaps etc.
This room, uh, DID have a coffee maker. It's discussed in the video...
I heard the pyramid is haunted 😬
That’s what they say!
Luxor definitely gets such an undeserved bad rep. I often see it included in Top Five Worst Vegas Resorts lists and...............I really don't get it. I respect people's individual opinions but in my mind I'm like, "ARE we looking at the same resort here?" 🤷♀
Now don't get me wrong: I'm certainly NOT suggesting that it's among the ten best resorts on the Strip either. I'm certainly not. But the point is: Luxor isn't trying to be something it's not. It KNOWS it's between a three and a four-star resort and it definitely looks and feels the part. I think a considerable chunk of those who consider Luxor a Top Five Worst Vegas Resort just have inflated, unrealistic expectations for the resort going in: like they had literally stayed at Wynn/Encore, Fontainebleau, Cosmopolitan, Bellagio.............resorts like that immediately beforehand. And yeah: on the surface Luxor would certainly feel like a downgrade coming on the heels of those resorts among a few others............but, again, LUXOR ISN'T TRYING TO BE ANY OF THOSE RESORTS!
And for a resort between three and four stars: it delivers pretty solidly in most areas. You have recently renovated rooms overall in both the Tower and Pyramid (I definitely prefer the Tower rooms personally but the renovated Pyramid rooms are also quite decent), you have a standard pool I'd consider on the better half of all Vegas Strip standard pools that's certainly not amazing but still quite enjoyable, you have a pretty stacked entertainment lineup, and then you have their new ace in the sleeve: PLAY Playground: which I can already tell is really breathing some new, youthful life into the resort commons that was greatly needed and is successfully pulling in some of the AREA15 crowd. 🙂
Luxor obviously has its flaws. I will admit that their casino floor is one of the ugliest on the entire Strip with all the dusty browns and so forth. I know they've been replacing the carpet and I will admit it does look better than it did, but I'd still consider it among the worse half of Vegas casino floors aesthetically and in terms of feng shui. Also: they're lacking in decent dining options. Diablo's Cantina is pretty cool and kind of affordable, Public House is serviceable and Tender Steakhouse is alright, but otherwise you're pretty much limited to fast food and an overpriced breakfast spot Pyramid Cafe paying double the price of what you typically pay for the same thing off-Strip with abysmal food quality that just isn't worth it. I also think they need one or two more lounges as the only two standouts as of right now there are Aurora (which I've always liked), and the new lounge inside PLAY Playground which IS a VERY welcome addition. But that's about it and I think they'd definitely benefit from one or two more alongside some more distinct dining concepts.
But yeah: all in all I really like Luxor. I'm not going to be disingenuous and claim it's among the cream of the crop on the Strip because it certainly isn't............but I can also confidently say I'll take Luxor over almost any Eldorado-era Caesars resort right now with the possible exception of Planet Hollywood, MAYBE Paris..........as well as T.I. I acknowledge that may not sound like the most confidence-instilling endorsement of Luxor on the surface, but when you consider the fact that Luxor is essentially a three-and-a-half star resort..............and Caesars Palace is considered a four-star resort along with Cromwell, Planet Hollywood and the LINQ, and the only other resorts in MGM Resorts' portfolio directly comparable to Luxor are Excalibur and New York New York.............that's actually a pretty glowing endorsement in a bigger picture perspective comparing all the between three and four star resorts with each other. 🙂
If you were to ask me to tier-rank Luxor, I'd say it's somewhere between a B- and a C+. I definitely think it punches above its weight relative to other resorts in its class as I aforementioned, and that's why I have a considerable respect for Luxor. I'd definitely recommend it especially to budget-minded travelers as well as first-timers who want to have a great first impression of Vegas but are maybe a bit intimidated by going with a more over-the-top leviathan resort right off the bat. Kudos as always for your great reviews! 😇
Sentra is not open till 5 did you say 5 ??
Correct, Centra doesn't open until 5 pm Monday-Thursday.
"Deferred maintenance". LOLOLOLOL! Translation: "Shit that's falling apart that they are too cheap to fix."
Can you use your phone as your room key?
@@msmart100 yes you can at Luxor and any other MGM property.
what could go wrong sleeping in a pyramid? 🤔
😄
Thank you for the video but no. I couldn't imagine paying close to $300 a night for a tired hotel. It looks the same when I visited in 2019.
Stayed there 2015 had the worst customer service experience will never stay there
That’s a shame. Thanks though for watching!
Any bed bugs?
We’ve stayed in more than 30 hotels in Las Vegas and never seen a bed bug. And yes, we check every time.
