Thank you for checking out the cheapest rooms in the various casinos as it gives the average person a realistic view of what to expect if one stays there.
I know it's a cheesy place, but I LOVE the Luxor! It was one of the first hotel/casinos that I stayed at and actually won a nice jackpot there! Luxor has a place in my heart, forever! Thanks again, Ruby for a wonderful video!
Hi Ruby I just got home this morning from a 4 night stay at The Luxor our room was in the tower it had 2 queen beds and we loved our room. It was spacious, clean, nice furnishings, I believe Luxor put us in a newly renovated room, also it had the best shower I ever used in Vegas, only disappointment was there was no fridge, but no big deal I would recommend staying at The Luxor, and your hotel/room tours are the BEST on all of u-tube! People don’t realize how hard and time consuming it is to pull off what you do. Thank you. Joanna from Canada 🇨🇦.
When I first moved to Southern Nevada, the Luxor was my home for the first week. The room rate was $30 and the resort fee was more than double that. The room was in the pyramid and comfortable and quiet. Enjoyed the content on this video, thanks for sharing.
Luxor, like Excalibur is still a massive cash cow. It will stick around as long as there are mid tier travelers/gamblers. I personally think it's a great property but not worthy of a resort fee
Hi Ruby! Thanks for going over the remodeled pyramid rooms. We've stayed in the pyramid several times and I love it. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but Luxor is usually my go-to hotel. I love walking the strip so maybe that's why. Can't wait to go back.
I normally stay at the Luxor because it is affordable. It has been a few years since I was last there and since I know that the rooms have been renovated, I just might have to stay there. Thanks for the update and I hope to stay at other resorts on the strip.
With the theming all but gone, it's only a shadow of its former self. $20 for a sandwich and fries, wow. I guess that is why I no longer do Vegas - and I used to be a huge fan.
Hey Ruby the fiancee and I enjoy watching your videos, and we love the Luxor. I agree the main downfall is how far south it is but there are easy ways to get to other places.
We spent a number of nights in the Pyramid rooms (with and without our kids) fifteen years ago (or so) before MGM took Luxor way downscale, and they were fine. As the property was neglected and much of the cool Egyptian stuff removed, we went elsewhere. The last time I stayed there (about 4-5 years ago, during a music festival), my "premier" Tower Room was expensive and beat to hell, with cracked bathroom tile, exposed wires and beat-up furniture. It's good to see that some $ has been spent fixing up the Pyramid rooms and the property itself. Mr. Ruby's camerawork and your ebullent personality made the property look very enticing for mid-level players; they should conp you on your next visit!
Stayed at the Luxor this past weekend. It is ok for the price and area. Spent most of the time playing and recording content for my channel at Mandalay Bay.
Stayed at Luxor last Summer- had a good experience overall BUT the Air Conditioning just couldn't keep up with the heat outside. Didn't go under 80 in the room even at night.
As someone who stayed at neighboring Excalibur the last time I visited Vegas a few months ago, Luxor is by far a better quality hotel than Excalibur while remaining affordable for the average tourist. When it comes to Public House, absolutely love the food there. Thanks for providing a detailed review. I will definitely consider Luxor as one of the hotels to stay at the next time I am in Vegas. By the way, avoid staying at Excalibur at all costs when you are in Vegas because the quality isn't good and the hotel is relatively old (and needs a massive update or a new hotel needs to be built).
Diablo Cantina is probably the worst food I have ever eaten in my life. We stayed there in April and decided to eat there. Service to start was crappy, and we ordered the chicken fajitas and 2 margaritas. The margaritas were tiny and I don't think it had alcohol in it, the chicken was rubbery and had no flavor, none of it had flavor, and the tortillas were sweet for some reason. They didn't look like fresh tortillas. Being from Texas, I should have known better than to try it. All that and it came out to $76 .... complete rip-off. DO NOT GO THERE. Go to Mandalay or even Excalibur.
F me, I must be getting old. Stayed there on opening weekend (10/15/93 - 28 years ago). Doesn't seem like it could possibly have been that long ago. Yikes.

When it rains in the Pyramid the rooms leak I woke up and the water was dripping in bad Architectural design but funny enough the Cab Driver told us when we arrived mind you the Cab driver certainly did not know how to clean his cab it was disgustingly Dusty
We just got home from a 4 night stay at the Luxor. We always get the tower one bedroom suite and love it every time! Our rooms are usually tucked away at the end of the hall so no noise from other guests and it feels like we are alone. Love it there 😁
Security staff and head of Security are jokes totall pathetic at Luxor they will yell harass and ask for your ID and where you are going if you walk around premise after 11pm
Love ❤️ your Vegas videos and room tour but next time please show us the view from the room. You keep saying the view is awesome/great but then you never show us the views in any of your room tours which really defeats the purpose of a room tour.
Why would anyone pay for a drink in las vegas? Just sit at a machine, put in a few nickles, and tip the waitress. They will keep those drinks coming until you fall over!
We also got back from the Luxor and it was a nightmare the beds were hard as rock the bathrooms were messy they didn't look properly cleaned. there is only 2 elevator it seems like working. where we were at in the pyramid.the food court was the only thing opened that's it. the buffets had been shut down at 3pm and we were laughed at when we asked about it. buttons were missing when we went to push the elevator every restaurant you mentioned was closed I'm wondering if you're being paid by the hotel even though you say you're not everything you said about that hotel was not true
Really love your reviews! 💖 We travel through Vegas at least 4 times per year. Typically avoid Hotels as we're usually in an RV of one sort or another. Great insight for when we decide to book a room. We used to stop at different Station Casinos so they constantly send us offers for Comp Rooms for 3 nights free.
I love the Luxor!! ✨ I’ve stayed in a pyramid room and a tower room recently and I gotta say- I loved the pyramid room! It was fun! Altho the view from the 25th floor inside balcony freaked me out lol
Hi Ruby, Coming to Vegas the second week in January. Last visit was just before things went haywire 2 years ago. Enjoyed my stay at Bally's very much. It was truly a bargain rate, for wonderful accommodations. I'm planning to stay there again, as I was able to book a suite for about $75, all in! I enjoy your straight forward videos and information. Keep up the great work!
i stayed for the first time last june. would never have chosen Luxor, except my friends had already booked and i wanted to stay close to them. loved the atmosphere and the hang out spots! rooms weren't the greatest, but a lot of them were under construction. booked the cheapest room and $20 trick put me in the tower right by the pool and super close to the elevator! i went to my friend's room ONE time. never again. what a nightmare getting back to a pyramid room. (some of the elevators were out of service) lots of great memories, though.
Hi Ruby! It’s soo funny it’s like fate me finding your channel… my husband just booked us a room there and I was dying to see how it would look and what we can do/eat while there and this answers everything! I’ll keep watching more of your videos for more ideas since we will be there for 1 whole week and we’ve never been. Super excited to be there soon!
What I missed in your review is the breakfast. They used to have an amazing breakfast buffet in the basement of the Luxor. Watching this video is giving me flashbacks. Very nice to see it is still there and getting renovated rooms. I'd stay there again.
I'm such a fossil, I remember the boat ride in the lobby. I always liked the pyramid rooms. Good to see a bit better food options than the last time I was there, which was eons ago. First time commenter, but am a subscriber. Love your content, Miss Ruby!
Great review, Ruby! I really like the Luxor, both to hang out in and to stay at, despite the location. The Bodies exhibition was really interesting. I stayed in a pyramid spa room a few years back - didn’t end up using the spa after being SO determined to get that particular room lol, but the room itself was really nice. Agreed though on those janky elevators 😂
I stayed in an identical room in mid-November. According to the guys working on the rooms next door, my room was renovated the day before, so I was probably the first person to stay in it. On the surface I agree with you about the room. It's nice and I certainly went "wow" when I first walked in because I wasn't expecting it to look that nice. I'll also say that the bed was super comfortable too. Now, here's some picky ass old man stuff. The didn't swap out the old almond colored and kind of grungy electrical outlets and switches. That's a simple and inexpensive detail that should not have been overlooked. Secondly, the bathroom was gorgeous, but the half glass wall for the shower was sitting on a ledge that was sloped the wrong direction. So as you pointed out, this caused all the water that hit the glass to run out on the floor. Poor execution in putting that shower stall together. (I really hate those half-glassed showers anyway, give me a goddam door.) I definitely preferred my room at Bally's. I also concur about the casino. I had a lot more fun - and luck - at Mandalay Bay. Drink service was better over there too.
I stayed at Luxor back in August because it was super close to the stadiums where Summerslam was being held. I was actually really impressed for such a cheap hotel on the strip! Very clean and I loved the design.
Love the Luxor! Stayed there many times. After the first year in a regular room, we decided to go for a suite the second year, and it was fabulous! We were so spoiled, we stayed in a tower suite the next six trips. The sports book, restaurants and coffee shop are great, and the access to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur make it even more appealing. The only drawback is that the casino seems to be getting smaller every year. What's with that???
3 night stay at Luxor back in the summer. was super cheap and didn't care where we would stay. Room was awful (pyramid 2nd floor) furniture was beat up and everything was worn out. biggest issue was the 2 queen beds. by far the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept in. hoping the renovated rooms have better beds! The carpet was so disgusting and old, not sure I would stay there again.
I read so much hate online for Luxor and I don’t get it. It’s perfectly ok and serviceable. Like Ruby, its location is the real downfall. Oh. And those “inclinators” are weird lol
Stayed there over 15 times, it's my home in Vegas..like you said its 10 minutes to New York..then walk through Park to tram it to Aria or Bellagio..all in about 15-20 minutes..super convenient for the price.. Also Pyramid Cafe is great for breakfast, and Tender Steakhouse is great for dinner(both in Luxor). Backstage deli is my goto at 5 or 6 am after gambling and drinking all night.. Love the Luxor! They always treat me like VIP there..
Stayed at the Luxor for my first trip 10yrs ago and then again about 6yrs ago; found a cockroach in our room, which scared me to go back. I love the price and the amenities.
I’ve stayed here in this style of room twice. I love this hotel. But damn does the lack of shower door SUCK. It feels like a great option for saving money. And as far as location, I’d rather stay here than Excalibur or Tropicana (I’ve stayed at both). It’s just got a comfortable feeling to it.
My first stay at the Luxor was back when it opened in the 90’s. We were coming more regularly until about 6 years ago. Thanks to your reviews and some nostalgia we booked a trip Jan. 2023. Coming from Vermont and need a bit of a winter break. Booked a tower Suite. Will let you know how we like it. We are looking forward to exploring some new attractions. Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
One cool thing about the Luxor is it is connected to Excalibur. From there you can walk to the NYNY or MGM Grand without having to go down to the street.
Luxor has alright rooms and some of the best shows in Vegas, but I will admit the casino is a little lackluster (and a little crusty and grimy, when I visited 3 weeks ago). The HyperX Esports Arena is cool if you have kids or enjoy video video games, though. I personally stayed north strip at the Sahara though...which has a monorail station that goes all the way South Strip to MGM Grand (near Luxor/Mandalay Bay/Excalibur, across the street), and a bunch of cool stops in between. Rooms are about the same but Sahara has more pillows on their bed, nicer Casino, Bazaar Meats luxury dining, and walking distance to Golden Steer Steakhouse - one of the best fine dining spots in Vegas! Also near cheap bus rides to Downtown Vegas, if you wanted to check out Fremont Street Experience.
Staying at the Luxor in June with the wife and my parents. We can’t wait! Looks like the perfect casino for us. Love that the monorail runs through 3 different casinos
I love Luxor. I’ve always stayed there. Now that they had changed their beds and upgraded, it’s the most comfortable bed especially for me who just finished all her cancer treatments. We’ve stayed at MGM also but the beds now in Luxor is the most comfortable.just did not like the long distance from the parking lot to the hotel.
Luxor is, in my opinion (as well), the best value hotel at the Las Vegas Strip (right on it). Whenever I hop to Vegas without a specific plan, Luxor is always a safe bet! It's clean. I love the (old) Pyramid rooms and not the (better) tower rooms. Never had an issue with cleanliness or anything like that ... I love that the property is next door to the great Mandalay Bay. It's about a 30-minute walk to Bellagio and the famous water fountains. There's enough things to do at Luxor (and especially if you consider the attached sister properties, like the Mandalay Bay and Excalibur (that I absolutely despise) - in that case there's enough things to do, restaurants to try to fill an entire extended weekend.
HELLLOO MR AND MRS RUBY, I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU GUYS SINCE THE CIRCA GRAND OPENING AT THE SASSY SALLY BAR. I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL. I THINK YOUR FILTHY GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE GONNA SLAP AROUND MY CHICAGO BEARS TOMORROW. I STILL REALLY LOVE THE LUXOR. I STAYED THERE RIGHT AFTER THE GRAND OPENING IN 1993 AND MY SON LOVES IT. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE BODIES AND TITANIC EXIBIT AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM. I LOVE THE PYRAMID AND EGYPT THEME. HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS AND LAS VEGAS INFORMATION….🎰🎰🎰🎰🥃🥃🥃🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😳😳😳😉😉😘😘😘🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲
Yes! That’s exactly why my husband and I stay there. And that’s exactly why we’re going to start staying somewhere else. We love the Luxor. It’s our place. But we’re tired of walking so much. We will still go back for gambling and shows. But we want to try New York New York next. Still affordable and a lot more centralized.
Small room, get anything south end you will roast if you open curtain. and the glass has mineral deposits on it. But.... It's a room and vegas. For few nights it's ok. The tower rooms are better. My sister stayed and battery on the door went dead. They had to sit in the hall for 4 hours till maint got it changed out. It took a lot to get back in.
The Luxor is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my life! It was disgusting, super loud construction, dark, trash everywhere. I don’t know where y’all are staying but it can not be the Luxor. Yuck!
...I have been watching alot of your Las Vegas hotel reviews...I find them to be great...Now , If I ever get back to Las Vegas. I'll have a great amount to view and make a great choice...Loved you 4 queens review..give my best to Mr. Ruby...
I don't know why I thought the pyramid would have nicer rooms than the towers. I should have known by price. Definitely affordable but we missed a fridge and coffee maker/anything to warm water. I was also expecting they'd have a flyer or something listing Luxor attractions, amenities, sevices, or deals, but nope. Just the standard Vegas magazine. The slanted room gimmick and inclinators were part of why I wanted Luxor to be the first place I stayed with my fiancé, but the magic just wasn't the same as when I had been in the 90s and even early 2000s. Wish I saw this review before 😅 Thanks for the great video!
Glad that they have renovated the Pyramid rooms. I have stayed in both tower and pyramid rooms. The indoor walkways are convenient to go to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur.
@@blueapple9077 Whichever is more up to date. Pyramid rooms though have the unique view in the hallways looking down and also riding the incline elevators.
@@Dept246 yes, thats what I was thinking about the pyramid rooms but every comment about the tower rooms made them seem like the nicer more up to date rooms...theres no way no ask for the most up to date rooms booking online so I ll wait to check in and ask the front desk...thanks for the advice👍
Hi Mr and Mrs Ruby. We always see myvegas deals on the Luxor but never stayed. I too don't find the casino too exciting (but that is COVID Vegas right now) Based on your review we will consider it as we just stayed at Park MGM and were Ceasar's resorts people, however based on the recent reviews (and take over/sale of Cesar's properties) we are looking at MGM hotels instead. Luxor is fine I think for a home base, it is 30 minutes to mid strip walking for me which is where I do most of my action, also good location for other places such as NYNY or Mandalay Bay.
We stayed at the Luxor a very long time ago. I remember taking a boat ride inside (around the lobby) with narration and going inside King Tut's tomb. It was fun. I hear it's not there anymore.
I hate the NO Door Showers! It's in almost every Hotel out there now! Are they too cheap to buy the door or has housekeeping just been lousy at keeping the door and hinges clean? I just feel like it's a freeze out especially when it's a hotel with low water pressure or just not very hot water to begin with like the old Monté Carlo use to be! We were booked for 8 nights on a 9 day trip and after morning 2 and switching rooms on our very 1st night due to no hot water we got refunded and moved over to the Flamingo, they took that chance to really go over and above when I called over there and explained our situation and still having so many nights left in our trip cause for $29 a night(no resort fees back then) they put us up in a one bedroom suite with a large media area with sofas and a very nice bar with both a personal refrigerator and a pricey mini bar fridge! That was an amazing High Roller suite(before the Faris wheel) cause we tried to book it a few months later and were told that room is not for rent. Vegas sure has changed since then! Not for the better unfortunately. The extra fee's in these hotels have made any Vegas 3 times higher than the booking price. Our waitress last night had just went for her 21st birthday with a few of her friends and none of them paid attention to the fine print when they booked their trip! They thought since they did a package the car was paid for completely and it was all good but found out nobody was 25 so they couldn't rent one. They didn't know about resort fees or the extra taxes they pay when they checked in and thought all drinks were free once they got there, those girls had a very rude awakening of the true cost of Vegas. With all the info on their smart phones they never put down none of them did any research and had Vegas so built up in their heads they were very disappointed, broke, and had blisters on their feet because they thought everything was close together and only took their cute shoes and heels to go clubbing that they didn't even do! I laughed and told her she has to go do Vegas with me and I will show her how to go to Vegas and not break the bank and now she gets how pricey it really is and can save the proper amount of money to enjoy herself without high expectations that movies give them! Lol 😆 RULE #1 FOR ANY TRIP TO VEGAS IS COMFORTABLE SHOES FOR MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WALKING! Cute shoes or boots just won't cut it!
nothing wrong with that room, always wanted to stay at the Luxor. Only other time I went to vegas we stayed at MGM in their "cheapest" room, which was about the size of my closet at home, and the bathroom was an open one, which I hated. Playing the tables is the easiest way for me to drink, I try never to "pay" for that when I'm at a casino (other than tipping the waitress)
I love the luxor and ive booked a pyramid room for june for 8 days. But! Im thinking of changing to planet hollywood as being centre strip is so tempting. I like the idea of being near miracle mile shops too. Whats stopping me is the pool! Love luxor pool and with the free chairs too. Planet hollywood looks ok but just not sure what to do to give me the best vacation 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I don't understand this paying for alcohol in Vegas...seriously just throw the drink girl a buck and she'll bring ya enough drinks to pull a Leaving Las Vegas.
She looks more like Megan Fox! Great review Ruby staying there at the end of September. Bummer about a missing mini fridge in the rooms. I might have to switch rooms!
Hi ruby we stayed there thanksgiving weekend we had to get a different room when we got to our 1st room they said it was ready and it was not. There was used popcorn buckets and water bottles and the restroom trash wasn’t empty. Went back down to check in and told them and they upgraded us to a tower room and waved the one night resort fee. I will not do mobile check in again. And I’m a mlife member and this was our first bad room we have ever had. And we go to Vegas a lot.
Hey Ruby!!! I just found your channel yesterday so you might have done this already, but what are your best tips for photo ops ?? Like most Instagramable places. I know you said the Vegas sign was an overrated spot but where are places you like?
Thank you for checking out the cheapest rooms in the various casinos as it gives the average person a realistic view of what to expect if one stays there.
I know it's a cheesy place, but I LOVE the Luxor! It was one of the first hotel/casinos that I stayed at and actually won a nice jackpot there! Luxor has a place in my heart, forever! Thanks again, Ruby for a wonderful video!
Its worth noting the tower rooms are 100x better than these, pyramid rooms are just for novelty.

Gee aren't you lucky stayed in the Luxor year before the Plan Demic and it the most ghetto hotel I have ever been in.
@@vietnamvet4533 Lmaooo 😂😂😂🤣
Just got back from staying in the Tower and we had no fridge also. I guess they want you to use the coinvent store. Very nice room though
@@vietnamvet4533 You saying "Plan Demic" immediately invalidates anything you have to say about this gorgeous hotel, and any opinion for that matter
@@muffincrumbss If you think the Luxor is a great place and you as a Democrat thinking that the flu was caused by Batman. Well you get played so easy.

What if all human life was like Ruby? Nothing goes wrong. No matter how mundane or inane or "cheesy", Ruby converts it into fun!
I swear bland ass designers ruined everything. That hotel room looks so bland and boring. I hope they didn't ruin the tower rooms too.

The Luxor steakhouse is amazing. If you are too tired to try the amazing steakhouses elsewhere, this one is very good.
Don't stay during a Raider game. The clientele isn't what you wanna be around.

I’ll keep watching more of your videos for more ideas since we will be there for 1 whole week and we’ve never been. Super excited to be there soon!
hope you guys have fun!!! her videos are great for entrainment ideas and good eat in Vegas as well
Thanks! Yes I have found them very informative.
What I missed in your review is the breakfast. They used to have an amazing breakfast buffet in the basement of the Luxor. Watching this video is giving me flashbacks. Very nice to see it is still there and getting renovated rooms. I'd stay there again.
I'm such a fossil, I remember the boat ride in the lobby. I always liked the pyramid rooms. Good to see a bit better food options than the last time I was there, which was eons ago. First time commenter, but am a subscriber. Love your content, Miss Ruby!
Great review, Ruby! I really like the Luxor, both to hang out in and to stay at, despite the location. The Bodies exhibition was really interesting. I stayed in a pyramid spa room a few years back - didn’t end up using the spa after being SO determined to get that particular room lol, but the room itself was really nice. Agreed though on those janky elevators 😂
I stayed in an identical room in mid-November. According to the guys working on the rooms next door, my room was renovated the day before, so I was probably the first person to stay in it. On the surface I agree with you about the room. It's nice and I certainly went "wow" when I first walked in because I wasn't expecting it to look that nice. I'll also say that the bed was super comfortable too. Now, here's some picky ass old man stuff. The didn't swap out the old almond colored and kind of grungy electrical outlets and switches. That's a simple and inexpensive detail that should not have been overlooked. Secondly, the bathroom was gorgeous, but the half glass wall for the shower was sitting on a ledge that was sloped the wrong direction. So as you pointed out, this caused all the water that hit the glass to run out on the floor. Poor execution in putting that shower stall together. (I really hate those half-glassed showers anyway, give me a goddam door.) I definitely preferred my room at Bally's.
I also concur about the casino. I had a lot more fun - and luck - at Mandalay Bay. Drink service was better over there too.
It defiantly still feels outdated and showing its age, that's why it has good prices relative to other options.
Text much?
@@ThePrissy11 Huh?
I agree, we updated those almond colored outlets, and it brought our house up to speed with modern-day touches. Love that you noticed that detail!
I stayed at Luxor back in August because it was super close to the stadiums where Summerslam was being held. I was actually really impressed for such a cheap hotel on the strip! Very clean and I loved the design.
I am actually pro-Luxor. Luv the Lux! Thanks for the tour!
We stayed this year in tower. No fridge and the bathroom was dirty 😭
I only stay at mgm properties because of myvegas 😂
Love the Luxor! Stayed there many times. After the first year in a regular room, we decided to go for a suite the second year, and it was fabulous! We were so spoiled, we stayed in a tower suite the next six trips. The sports book, restaurants and coffee shop are great, and the access to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur make it even more appealing. The only drawback is that the casino seems to be getting smaller every year. What's with that???
Why it’s the most cursed hotel in Vegas
@@monkeyboy641 Cursed? It doesn't seem cursed to me. How cursed are the other hotels if the Luxor is the most cursed?
@@arlinecarreyn2027 u don’t understand lady Luxor is cursed search it up
@@monkeyboy641 I understand perfectly. If it's so "cursed", then why don't they tear it down? Or is this some sort of religious thing with you?
@@arlinecarreyn2027 search up the god dam thing
3 night stay at Luxor back in the summer. was super cheap and didn't care where we would stay. Room was awful (pyramid 2nd floor) furniture was beat up and everything was worn out. biggest issue was the 2 queen beds. by far the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept in. hoping the renovated rooms have better beds! The carpet was so disgusting and old, not sure I would stay there again.
2 year I wash in Las Vegas
🛏️ Hotel Excalibur
We stayed there just before the pandemic and our room still had the old Egyptian furniture in it. Still love that place
I read so much hate online for Luxor and I don’t get it. It’s perfectly ok and serviceable. Like Ruby, its location is the real downfall.
Oh. And those “inclinators” are weird lol
Stayed there over 15 times, it's my home in Vegas..like you said its 10 minutes to New York..then walk through Park to tram it to Aria or Bellagio..all in about 15-20 minutes..super convenient for the price..
Also Pyramid Cafe is great for breakfast, and Tender Steakhouse is great for dinner(both in Luxor).
Backstage deli is my goto at 5 or 6 am after gambling and drinking all night..
Love the Luxor! They always treat me like VIP there..
Tender Steakhouse is wonderful, and the backstage deli is my go-to for coffee in the morning. Walk past TWO Starbuck's to get to the backstage!
Totally agree with you. Love Luxor and the restaurants
I'll test this room out next week lol
Stayed at the Luxor for my first trip 10yrs ago and then again about 6yrs ago; found a cockroach in our room, which scared me to go back. I love the price and the amenities.
Turkey Sandwich, Fries and a Soda for $40?????
$20 total
I’ve stayed here in this style of room twice. I love this hotel. But damn does the lack of shower door SUCK.
It feels like a great option for saving money. And as far as location, I’d rather stay here than Excalibur or Tropicana (I’ve stayed at both). It’s just got a comfortable feeling to it.
You didn't mention the Pyramid Cafe near the parking garage.
I LOVE THE LUXOR. One of my favorite MGM Resorts properties by far.
My Vegas offer? How do I get that
My first stay at the Luxor was back when it opened in the 90’s. We were coming more regularly until about 6 years ago. Thanks to your reviews and some nostalgia we booked a trip Jan. 2023. Coming from Vermont and need a bit of a winter break. Booked a tower Suite. Will let you know how we like it. We are looking forward to exploring some new attractions. Love your channel. Keep up the good work!
One cool thing about the Luxor is it is connected to Excalibur. From there you can walk to the NYNY or MGM Grand without having to go down to the street.
Definitely nicer looking since I've been through there last. The Titanic tour was really nice (but I'm a history hog).
Love the Luxor. Stayed there many times, and never had a problem with the location. Walked the whole strip, or took trams and monorail. Vegas baby!
This hotel is a definite “no” for me. You didn’t mention the freezing pool either😫
She did
Luxor has alright rooms and some of the best shows in Vegas, but I will admit the casino is a little lackluster (and a little crusty and grimy, when I visited 3 weeks ago). The HyperX Esports Arena is cool if you have kids or enjoy video video games, though.
I personally stayed north strip at the Sahara though...which has a monorail station that goes all the way South Strip to MGM Grand (near Luxor/Mandalay Bay/Excalibur, across the street), and a bunch of cool stops in between. Rooms are about the same but Sahara has more pillows on their bed, nicer Casino, Bazaar Meats luxury dining, and walking distance to Golden Steer Steakhouse - one of the best fine dining spots in Vegas! Also near cheap bus rides to Downtown Vegas, if you wanted to check out Fremont Street Experience.
It's easy to walk around from Luxor but in summer it is 104 degrees and just the wind blowing on your face is hot.
Staying at the Luxor in June with the wife and my parents. We can’t wait! Looks like the perfect casino for us. Love that the monorail runs through 3 different casinos
I had a blast in Luxor casino 2 years ago. Their slots have a good payout ratio.
I love Luxor. I’ve always stayed there. Now that they had changed their beds and upgraded, it’s the most comfortable bed especially for me who just finished all her cancer treatments. We’ve stayed at MGM also but the beds now in Luxor is the most comfortable.just did not like the long distance from the parking lot to the hotel.
Great review! Love the tips on how to save $ and the comparison info with the Tower rooms -thank you!
Will Smiths' Get Jiggy With It video was filmed in Luxor lobby!
Luxor is, in my opinion (as well), the best value hotel at the Las Vegas Strip (right on it). Whenever I hop to Vegas without a specific plan, Luxor is always a safe bet! It's clean. I love the (old) Pyramid rooms and not the (better) tower rooms. Never had an issue with cleanliness or anything like that ...
I love that the property is next door to the great Mandalay Bay. It's about a 30-minute walk to Bellagio and the famous water fountains.
There's enough things to do at Luxor (and especially if you consider the attached sister properties, like the Mandalay Bay and Excalibur (that I absolutely despise) - in that case there's enough things to do, restaurants to try to fill an entire extended weekend.
I don't recommend Diablos. Terrible food. Tried it twice and disappointed both times.
She walks like a man
I always stay there
HELLLOO MR AND MRS RUBY,
I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU GUYS SINCE THE CIRCA GRAND OPENING AT THE SASSY SALLY BAR. I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE DOING WELL. I THINK YOUR FILTHY GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE GONNA SLAP AROUND MY CHICAGO BEARS TOMORROW. I STILL REALLY LOVE THE LUXOR. I STAYED THERE RIGHT AFTER THE GRAND OPENING IN 1993 AND MY SON LOVES IT. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE BODIES AND TITANIC EXIBIT AND ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM. I LOVE THE PYRAMID AND EGYPT THEME. HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS AND THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS AND LAS VEGAS INFORMATION….🎰🎰🎰🎰🥃🥃🥃🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😳😳😳😉😉😘😘😘🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲
Yes! That’s exactly why my husband and I stay there. And that’s exactly why we’re going to start staying somewhere else. We love the Luxor. It’s our place. But we’re tired of walking so much. We will still go back for gambling and shows. But we want to try New York New York next. Still affordable and a lot more centralized.
Ruby, you do an excellent job on these videos. Perfect time frame as well.
I love the Lux!
Small room, get anything south end you will roast if you open curtain. and the glass has mineral deposits on it. But.... It's a room and vegas. For few nights it's ok. The tower rooms are better. My sister stayed and battery on the door went dead. They had to sit in the hall for 4 hours till maint got it changed out. It took a lot to get back in.
Keep doing your thing Ruby! Peace ✌🏿 from SoCal
Luxor is gross!
The Luxor is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my life! It was disgusting, super loud construction, dark, trash everywhere. I don’t know where y’all are staying but it can not be the Luxor. Yuck!
...I have been watching alot of your Las Vegas hotel reviews...I find them to be great...Now , If I ever get back to Las Vegas. I'll have a great amount to view and make a great choice...Loved you 4 queens review..give my best to Mr. Ruby...
I don't know why I thought the pyramid would have nicer rooms than the towers. I should have known by price. Definitely affordable but we missed a fridge and coffee maker/anything to warm water.
I was also expecting they'd have a flyer or something listing Luxor attractions, amenities, sevices, or deals, but nope. Just the standard Vegas magazine.
The slanted room gimmick and inclinators were part of why I wanted Luxor to be the first place I stayed with my fiancé, but the magic just wasn't the same as when I had been in the 90s and even early 2000s.
Wish I saw this review before 😅
Thanks for the great video!
I just stayed at the Luxor a couple of weeks ago! I usually stay there but I am going to venture out next time.
Glad that they have renovated the Pyramid rooms. I have stayed in both tower and pyramid rooms. The indoor walkways are convenient to go to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur.
Did you prefer the tower room or pyramid?
@@blueapple9077 Whichever is more up to date. Pyramid rooms though have the unique view in the hallways looking down and also riding the incline elevators.
@@Dept246 yes, thats what I was thinking about the pyramid rooms but every comment about the tower rooms made them seem like the nicer more up to date rooms...theres no way no ask for the most up to date rooms booking online so I ll wait to check in and ask the front desk...thanks for the advice👍
Hi Mr and Mrs Ruby. We always see myvegas deals on the Luxor but never stayed. I too don't find the casino too exciting (but that is COVID Vegas right now) Based on your review we will consider it as we just stayed at Park MGM and were Ceasar's resorts people, however based on the recent reviews (and take over/sale of Cesar's properties) we are looking at MGM hotels instead. Luxor is fine I think for a home base, it is 30 minutes to mid strip walking for me which is where I do most of my action, also good location for other places such as NYNY or Mandalay Bay.
We are going in Jan. And are staying at the LUXOR….Is there a coffee maker in the room?…..I couldn’t find anything on the site…..Thanks
We stayed at the Luxor a very long time ago. I remember taking a boat ride inside (around the lobby) with narration and going inside King Tut's tomb. It was fun. I hear it's not there anymore.
I'm actually going to stay at the Luxor next Monday November 6th 2023 it's going to be fun
I hate the NO Door Showers! It's in almost every Hotel out there now! Are they too cheap to buy the door or has housekeeping just been lousy at keeping the door and hinges clean? I just feel like it's a freeze out especially when it's a hotel with low water pressure or just not very hot water to begin with like the old Monté Carlo use to be! We were booked for 8 nights on a 9 day trip and after morning 2 and switching rooms on our very 1st night due to no hot water we got refunded and moved over to the Flamingo, they took that chance to really go over and above when I called over there and explained our situation and still having so many nights left in our trip cause for $29 a night(no resort fees back then) they put us up in a one bedroom suite with a large media area with sofas and a very nice bar with both a personal refrigerator and a pricey mini bar fridge! That was an amazing High Roller suite(before the Faris wheel) cause we tried to book it a few months later and were told that room is not for rent. Vegas sure has changed since then! Not for the better unfortunately. The extra fee's in these hotels have made any Vegas 3 times higher than the booking price. Our waitress last night had just went for her 21st birthday with a few of her friends and none of them paid attention to the fine print when they booked their trip! They thought since they did a package the car was paid for completely and it was all good but found out nobody was 25 so they couldn't rent one. They didn't know about resort fees or the extra taxes they pay when they checked in and thought all drinks were free once they got there, those girls had a very rude awakening of the true cost of Vegas. With all the info on their smart phones they never put down none of them did any research and had Vegas so built up in their heads they were very disappointed, broke, and had blisters on their feet because they thought everything was close together and only took their cute shoes and heels to go clubbing that they didn't even do! I laughed and told her she has to go do Vegas with me and I will show her how to go to Vegas and not break the bank and now she gets how pricey it really is and can save the proper amount of money to enjoy herself without high expectations that movies give them! Lol 😆
RULE #1 FOR ANY TRIP TO VEGAS IS COMFORTABLE SHOES FOR MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WALKING! Cute shoes or boots just won't cut it!
nothing wrong with that room, always wanted to stay at the Luxor. Only other time I went to vegas we stayed at MGM in their "cheapest" room, which was about the size of my closet at home, and the bathroom was an open one, which I hated. Playing the tables is the easiest way for me to drink, I try never to "pay" for that when I'm at a casino (other than tipping the waitress)
I love the luxor and ive booked a pyramid room for june for 8 days. But! Im thinking of changing to planet hollywood as being centre strip is so tempting. I like the idea of being near miracle mile shops too. Whats stopping me is the pool! Love luxor pool and with the free chairs too. Planet hollywood looks ok but just not sure what to do to give me the best vacation 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Beware of the Pyramid rooms in the warmer months, complaints all over about the AC not keeping up. IMO the Tower is well worth the extra few $$$
I thought THE LUXOR was for SALE....??
Guess not...!!
I don't understand this paying for alcohol in Vegas...seriously just throw the drink girl a buck and she'll bring ya enough drinks to pull a Leaving Las Vegas.
Luxor tower rooms are nice and you don’t have that scary walk to your room if your staying in the pyramid
She looks more like Megan Fox! Great review Ruby staying there at the end of September. Bummer about a missing mini fridge in the rooms. I might have to switch rooms!
Hi ruby we stayed there thanksgiving weekend we had to get a different room when we got to our 1st room they said it was ready and it was not. There was used popcorn buckets and water bottles and the restroom trash wasn’t empty. Went back down to check in and told them and they upgraded us to a tower room and waved the one night resort fee. I will not do mobile check in again. And I’m a mlife member and this was our first bad room we have ever had. And we go to Vegas a lot.
Hey Ruby!!! I just found your channel yesterday so you might have done this already, but what are your best tips for photo ops ?? Like most Instagramable places. I know you said the Vegas sign was an overrated spot but where are places you like?
I HATE staying there. Especially in the pyramid. Tbh I'd rather stay at the Excalibur instead.
