Is the Luxor a good base for a Las Vegas holiday?
It is a good base for a first visit if you are happy to use taxis for the middle of the Strip. The free Mandalay Bay Tram and indoor walkways link the Luxor with Excalibur and Mandalay Bay. New York-New York is a short walk beyond Excalibur, over a pedestrian bridge.
Bellagio, Caesars Palace and the Venetian are a different matter. They sit well over a mile north, a pleasant evening stroll in March but hard going on a July afternoon. Plan on a taxi, rideshare or the Deuce bus for those nights.
Of the other hotels we sell nearby, New York-New York and the MGM Grand are also 4-star. Both sit at the Tropicana Avenue crossroads, a little closer to mid-Strip. The Luxor is the value choice among them. It suits travellers who would rather spend the difference on shows, restaurants and a canyon trip.
If walking to Bellagio every night matters more, the 5-star ARIA Las Vegas holiday puts you in the middle of the Strip itself.
Pyramid or tower: which Luxor room should you choose?
Pyramid rooms sit along the sloping outer walls, so the window wall leans inwards over the room. You reach them by inclinators, lifts that run diagonally up the corners of the pyramid, and the corridors look down into the atrium.
The two towers beside the pyramid have conventional upright rooms and ordinary lifts. Choose a tower if a sloping window would bother you, or pick the pyramid for the novelty. Tell your consultant which you prefer and we will request it when we book your Luxor hotel Las Vegas package.
Four nights or six at the Luxor?
Four nights gives you three full days in the city. After a long-haul flight, the first day rarely goes to plan, so four nights has little slack.
Six nights leaves room for a full-day trip out of the city and a day with nothing booked. For ideas on building Las Vegas into a longer American trip, see our guide to luxury USA holiday packages from the UK.
When is the Luxor cheapest, and what do you trade off?
Price and weather pull in opposite directions. The Luxor's pools are seasonal and close in the cooler months, which is also when this holiday costs least.
