content: I've stayed in the Luxor five years in a row during an annual work trip. It's OK, but I wouldn't say I look forward to my stay. \n\nFirst of all, the beds are comfortable, the rooms are relatively big, and I've never noticed a conspicuous lack of house cleaning. So if all you are looking for is a basic place to spend the night and you've managed to find a cheap room rate, stop reading right now. The Luxor will suit you fine.\n\nIf, like me, you have to actually get some work done while you're in Vegas... well, you could do better than the Luxor. The $18/day convenience fee includes wired (!) internet access, which is ridiculously dated - throw in some WiFi and I would gladly pay that fee, but wired internet access does me absolutely no good. The room lighting is extremely dim, making it difficult to not only do any work but also to see yourself in the mirror. Speaking of the mirror, the only full-length mirror is on the front of the TV armoire and divided into four quadrants by the wood edging of the doors - meaning there really isn't a full-length mirror. The towels are rough, there's no coffeemaker in the room, and the decor is getting sort of dated. Again, these are things you probably don't care about if you're staying in the Luxor for a cheap, fun Vegas trip - however, they matter to me as I can't choose my dates and thus have to pay upwards of $100 per night for a sub-par room.\n\nAs far as the larger casino, it's OK - I actually kind of like the cheesy pyramid decor downstairs, and the location isn't bad (though I wish they would connect it to some other casinos by tram so I didn't have to walk through the Excalibur in order to go north on the strip). The casino is nowhere near as smoke-filled as the Excalibur, though not quite as pleasant as Mandalay Bay. I like the restaurants and shopping in Mandalay Place, and it's not really that far to walk to the Bellagio, Planet Hollywood, or even as far north as Caesar's if you have the time. None of the restaurants in the Luxor are really my thing, though I appreciate that they have three separate Starbucks locations (crucial when there's no in-room coffee). \n\nIf I got to choose, I wouldn't stay in the Luxor. Like it or not, I'll be back.
