The hype
Travelers love the low rates and the novelty of the pyramid, but consistently complain about the age of the furniture and the dark, cavernous vibe.
Luxor Hotel And Casino
$40-150 + ~$51 resort fee/ nacht
Boek dit als You want the iconic Vegas experience of sleeping inside a giant pyramid without blowing your entire budget on the room.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The sheer scale of the atrium (largest in the world) is genuinely jaw-dropping
- Tower rooms offer a modern, quiet escape for a fraction of the price of center-Strip resorts
- Connected via indoor walkways to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur, making it a great south-Strip base
Snel Overzicht: It's a budget-friendly, slightly dusty architectural marvel where you trade luxury for a cool story and a cheap rate.
Beoordeeld door @Twintravel.03: I finally checked staying in a pyramid off my bucket list! The atrium is honestly massive—photos don't do it justice. My room had those famous slanted windows, and the pool deck view is iconic. It’s definitely kitschy, but such a fun, classic Vegas vibe for a friends' trip.
Gast die hier verbleef zei
Reality check
The check-in line can be an hour long on weekends, and the 'resort fee' often costs more than the room rate itself.
- You are a history/architecture nerd fascinated by 90s mega-resorts
- You need a cheap, clean-ish place to crash and plan to spend all day exploring
- You are traveling with a dog (surprisingly pet-friendly with a dedicated relief area)
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
6.5
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Many reports of missed dust on the unique slanted walls and older furniture.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally acceptable, but grout lines in Pyramid rooms often show age. Tower bathrooms are much fresher.
- Maintenance: The property is 30+ years old. Expect occasional peeling wallpaper, slow drains, or worn carpet edges.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel grade. Clean but not luxurious. Some reports of wear/thinness.
- Odors & scents: The casino floor has that heavy 'masked smoke' smell. Pyramid hallways can smell a bit musty due to air circulation issues.

“I would appreciate a complimentary upgrade to a Tower Premier room if available. If I must stay in the Pyramid, please assign a room on a high floor (20+) on the East side to avoid afternoon heat and atrium noise.”
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the Luxor really haunted?
Rumors persist due to construction deaths and suicides in the atrium, but most 'ghost' stories are urban legends. The 'Titanic' exhibit adds to the spooky vibe.
Are the pools heated?
Technically yes, but they often close completely during winter (Nov-Feb). Always check seasonal schedules before booking for a swim.
Can I walk to the Las Vegas Sign?
Yes, it's about a 15-20 minute walk south. Go early morning to beat the line for photos.
Is there a fridge in the room?
Not in standard rooms. You have to request one for a fee or book a suite. Tower rooms sometimes have them, but don't count on it.
How bad are the 'Inclinators'?
They are safe but slow and can feel jerky. If you get motion sick easily, request a room on a lower floor or stay in the Towers (standard elevators).
Is it dog friendly?
Yes, up to 2 dogs (<100lbs combined) for a fee of ~$50-100/night. There is a designated relief area.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Beam' attracts millions of moths, which in turn attract bats and owls—look up at night to see a whole ecosystem in the light.
- ✨
Use the 'back' entrance near the self-parking garage to access the Tower rooms faster and skip the main casino floor trek.
- ✨
The walkway to Mandalay Bay houses '1923 Prohibition Bar,' a hidden speakeasy gem that's much cooler than the casino bars.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'Pyramid' rooms have no view—the windows are slanted and often covered with a tint that makes looking out difficult.
💡The atrium is so large (29 million cubic feet) that it could fit nine Boeing 747s stacked on top of each other.
💡The carpet patterns were originally designed to encourage gambling (disorienting), though newer renovations have toned this down.
💡You can visit the 'Pinball Hall of Fame' just down the street (short Uber or long walk)—a massive warehouse of playable vintage games.
💡The 'Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition' inside is genuinely world-class and includes a massive piece of the original hull.
