Review of Luxor and Excalibur Hotel and ...

The Luxor is quite simply a staple of the Las Vegas skyline. It's definitely not as famous or as well known as some of the casinos and hotels in the area, however I believe it's almost on par with the best of them. The interior is massive and the amenities vary greatly. I went during COVID so the shows were, of course, closed. One cool feature is the sky bridge connecting both Mandalay Bay and Excalibur to the Luxor so you don't even have to go outside. The casino portion is probably the least busy for a hotel of this caliber in a city like this. The food and bars are vegas expensive so be prepared for that, although I doubt you're staying here if you can't afford it. On the note of affordability, the room was not as expensive as I had thought it would be. Close to 300 for 4 nights (some of which I'm sure I was refunded for having left the place in good condition). The hotel and casino certainly are grand (they say you can see the roof spotlight from space) but it also certainly has some improvements it could make. For example, the 1B elevators were a disaster. It was like reentering the atmosphere in those things, and sometimes the doors wouldn't open all the way and try to close on you when you were sliding through the crack in them. Otherwise, one of the best hotel and casino experiences I've had the privilege of having!

P.S.) the food court area plays "Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry on repeat. All hours of the day and night. You can hear it echo through the hotel. It still haunts my dreams.
