Excalibur gets a nod because of the large 2 person jacuzzi, price and location. Our spa suites area always very clean and service is always good. Could do without the kids, but that goes for every casino. I don't care what anyone says, for the price, they have the best jacuzzi suites on the strip. Why pay for all the other trappings, when all you need is a nice big jacuzzi, a shot of Jack Daniels and a very sexy husband.

I stayed here on my very first night ever in vegas the room was not bad for the price. we had one of the new tower rooms with the 42 inch plasma tv, but the view sucked big time we were in the back near the pool but below the roof line so we had a brick wall view out of our window. i didn't get to visit the pool at this property but heard it was great from my step son's word of mouth. one thing you must do while here is do the dinner and show at the TOURNAMENT OF KINGS it was a great show had alot of audience participation and interactment and the food was well....... fit for a king if you like alot of chicken and tomato soup which i do it was very well prepared and tasty and the beer in the souvenier mug($10.00) was excellent and cold.

From the outside this place is super lame but ya know?.. On the inside it's not too bad and it's darned fun (just stay off the 2nd floor where the kiddies are.) The rooms are smal and plain but hey, you can get em for a song.

It's so ..midevial. Cute at night from outside; too long a walk from parking garage; decent slots;decent valet parking; piss-poor blackjack games

I'm giving the Old Excal a 4, and this is why.....It did everything it needed to do for us, and a great price. Fri, Sat and Sun in February for about $70 per night. I had the newer Widescreen room, and even though it was nothing amazing, it was clean and was big enough for 3 guys to crash in. The location is great and it has a fun vibe to it. Not the same kind of vibe as Mandalay Bay, but you can tell they are trying to have some fun with it. We did not eat any meals there at all, or used the pool, spa or any amenities at all, so I can not rate them. But for a cheap weekend with a clean room and nice price it was great.

Stayed in a widescreen room. The room was better than you would expect for the Tragic Kingdom. Really good drink service in the casino. I really like the location and would definitely stay there again.

Rooms are barebones Vegas style..headboards screwed to the wall, how tacky is that?Oh yeah, how 'bout the moving walkway in with the non-moving one out...tackier still.It was okay when we were poor and our child was young.

The room was nothing special, a regular room looking at the airport. The gaming and the bars were great though. I won all over the casino. And the Valets were really helpful and cheerful about it. I didn't eat there, or swim there. Spend up for the newer rooms.

No baths, just a shower in the rooms. We were in a Widescreen room, and we found it perfectly fine. Short trip to the pool area, which was far nicer than I expected.

I showered and kept my luggage in one of their widescreen rooms on a trip 2 years ago. Walked through on my trip in July of 2009. I was intrigued by the dichotomy of The Pleasure Pit and the family oriented Midway under the same roof. Why Vegas tries to be family friendly is beyond me.

Too themepark like,

I would like to see the change in the widescreen room as I don't think they had ever changed a room.
I remember calling the hotel for rates not that long ago,about the time I got my Imac in my favorite color... Bondi blue!
The bedbug myth has me a little spooked.Maybe not next time.What happened to Krispy Kreme?

A budget hotel on the South Strip. Standard rooms are older and cheaper. Widescreen rooms have newer furniture and cost a few dollars more. Both rooms comes with a shower, but no bathtub and no in-room safe. Excalibur is a good value if you're on a tight budget.

Made me feel like I got jousted in the ass.

Just plain horrifying. The casino is super loud. The food is nasty. The slots aren't really loose. Personally, I'm better off at Mandalay Bay.

Twice had a perfect stay in the Tower rooms.Was I lucky?Pyramid cafe is a little gem.

Our place to stay and play.

A great place before they started "detheming" it. Still good vibes and nice tower suites. I have always come out with money from the machines much to the dismay of the wife (she's not been as lucky). Have always gotten great drink service and thats what counts.

A girlfriend and me stayed at the Luxor in the towers and it was nice. We had a little ways to walk to our elevatorsbut overall the room was nice. The spa was going trough renovations(we went Dec 2006) and my friend wanted to get a service so she was a little bumed out. We valet and they were excellent in their service. Overall a nice experience.

Stayed here most recently, two years ago with girlfriend. I really liked the Aurora Bar. The dancers in the Blackjack pits were very nice too, damn near earned me a slap!

Bearing in mind that I stayed here about 8 years ago. It was very chic at that time, but I would assume that it has a lot of competition now.

It is my favorite on the strip, it was my 1st for Vegas.I alway visit this casino when i come to Vegas.

Stayed in the towers and it was better than I had anticipated

Good value. Decent rooms.

Stayed before after the "new" branding. Call me strange, but I really liked the Egyptian theme. Now it is upgraded with new bars etc. The Jacuzzi spa room in the pyramid is large and looking out of the window above is romantic. Previously refridgerators were in the room, now according to the desk clerk, you have to request one. There are no safes and they need to update the bedding in the spa rooms. But I still love that jacuzzi...........

I have stayed at Luxor Twice. My first time ever visiting Las Vegas, in 97, and my last time, in 04. I stayed in the Pyrmid both times. In 04 it was starting to look a little shabby and run down. I know they are in the middle of de-theming (how do you take the Egypt out of a pyrmid???) so i'm sure it will be brought back up to what it was. When it was open, the Sacred Sea Room was Amazing.

I want to slide down the side of this place so badly.

Luxor impresses me. Just walking into the place and looking up at the cavernous atrium leaves me awestruck. The price is right, the decor is okay. I liked it better back when it had a theme. There's still a bunch of Egyptian stuff scattered around, and I wonder if they're not done renovating yet.

We stayed twice in the tower and would stay there again - comfortable and quiet. The new look and feel of the casino is better than the tomb feeling but there is still alot of Egyptian theme that doesnt mesh with the renovation.

I like the Luxor for its atmosphere and surroundings. I like the theme of the resort, it's very different from anything else anywhere!
What I do not like is the fact that if you park yourself you have to walk all the way to the front of the building to check into the hotel, then go back around the casino to the elevators and it makes it very unconvenient. Other than the check in process, and the location of how that's laid out, we enjoyed the hotel. Very good restaurants, and quick to get on the monorail system.

The best room I ever had in Las Vegas was right here..was checking in late one night with a reservation, and the Pyramid was overbooked for MAGIC..so that got me a one bedroom suite in the West Tower..fantastic room..for around $49..excellent lunch buffet, have enjoyed meals and service in the Pyramid Cafe..have won in the casino..only gripe is the strict check in at 11am policy..they aren't kidding..and they make you stand in lines to prove it..

Very cool architecture. Use to stayed here all the time because of their deals. Rooms are better in the towers where it's cleaner and newer.

I like the Luxor when I need a cheap stay. The rooms are decent but more resemble a typical hotel room. I love using the inclinator elevator and the view on the higher floors into the atrium. I like that the tram is right in front so you can get to the rest of the strip easily. Overall a good hotel to stay in if you are on a tight budget.

Stayed in the Towers - a large suite overlooking Excalibur, sweet digs. But I don't know there's just something about Egypt... Isn't that what the slaves said before they left for the promised land?

If you show any Vegas newbie a shot of the Strip skyline and ask them where they'd like to stay, the pyramid will be in their top three, every time. Show them a picture of what a room in the pyramid looks like, and then they change their mind. Received help in 2008, but needs more.

Stayed before the remodeled and during the Egyptian theme period. Now it's all about the Southern California hipster.

Nothing special, stayed in one of their players suite, was okay, nice decor, Bose system was kinda cool. Egyptian motive needs to be updated. Tower rooms definitely better than the pyramid rooms.

Too much construction. I think it will be a very nice place after everything is done.

Kinda crappy rooms in the Pyramid. The novelty wore off pretty quickly.

Call me crazy, but I'm liking "The New Luxor: Getting to the Point". And yes, the new decor does get to the point of this place: It's time to PARTY! Oh yeah, the cleaned up carpets and sleek, simple design much better fits "New Luxor" and its mission to be the (cheaper) party palace of The South Strip... For folks who'd rather not fork the extra dough to take the road to Mandalay just a little further.


I just wish MGM Mirage will eventually get to the point in upgrading those damned fugly rooms! Yuck, they still have boob tubes and "faux Egyptian" fixtures in there! Maybe when the rooms look as sleek and sexy as the casino floor, I'll go upstairs more often. Until then, I'll just stop at Cathouse before taking the road back to Mandalay.

The LuXor is suffering from an identity crisis for sure, and the fact that it will forever be associated with Criss Angel is unfortunate, but it's a relatively pleasant place to stay. We got a great deal on a room and the beds were pretty decent, room was really clean and service was friendly. I like the billion tiny places to eat especially when it was late and we didn't want to leave the hotel. Meh.

I loved the Luxor before it was de-themed. There was something about the Egyptian theme that I loved, it gave it a mysterious feel. The new hip theme is boring and there is no longer anything special about the place. They made the place bland! The rooms in the tower are nicer than in the pyramid, but the halls in the tower are just plain weird. The buffet is horrible, but I tend to sugar coat. The cafe is OK, nothing special, but it will fill a hole.
Bring back the theme, otherwise its like a Motel 6 with night clubs and an inclinator.

Dark and very hot rooms. This place is very unique but needs some work on the inside and with the rooms. I just visited again in Aug 10 and saw that the lobby and casino floor had been changed around a little. It is also down towards the end of the Strip. Everything seems far to walk to.

The pyramid rooms may be a little rough, but those diagonal moving elevators are cool.

Meh, nothing special...

We did get a free upgrade to a tower room... but still meh.

Cheap strip alrenative. House keeping sucks

Avoid the hotel - as of my last stay at least (circa 2006 admittedly) the place was falling apart, notably with water stains all over the walls. This also isn't your destination for fine dining, and the gambling is nothing to write home about. What does Luxor have going for it? LAX is a really solid nightclub, and the gaming is pretty good at low limits (avoid the high-limit room, which is completely dead and has no amenities worth mentioning anyways.) The whole pyramid thing is pretty cool, even if its a shame that MGM got rid of most of the wonderfully tacky Egyptian stuff. I guess you could do worse.

The site of my worst trip to Vegas … I had a first floor room in the tower and try to arrange for a wake up call – only to find that the phone in the room doesn’t work. I walk to the front desk and they tell me that are aware of the issue but there isn’t anything they can do. They also say that they can not arrange for a wakeup call for me, because of the phone problem. An hour later this high pitched wine starts screeching in my room. After 20 mins of searching and unplugging everything I can find, I figure out that it’s coming from outside my window, where a large tour bus is parked idling outside my window. I pick up the phone to call the front desk, but of course it isn’t working, so I have to get up and go to the front desk. They tell me that they will send someone from Security out to talk to the Bus Driver. And indeed I watch asthe Security guy shows up, bums a smoke off the bus driver, and sits smoking with him for bit before taking off – the bus still running it’s motor and the noise still going. Another trip to the Front Desk, = me in being told that “There isn’t anything that can be done because the bus is taking people to the Grand Cannon at 5 am and if they don’t keep the thing going it won’t be warm for them". Fumming I go back to my room, pack, and wait for my 8 am shift to start.The next day I go to the front desk and speak to the Manager. He was indifferent and kept saying “What do you expect us to do about it ?”. I asked what he was willing to do to make it up to me and his response was “I really don’t see the need to do anything for you since you’re convention staff. Have a nice day.”.I’m just sorry that I can’t give them negative points.
