Originally built as a budget resort, Luxor has been through several transformations since it went up. Almost immediately after opening it was re-positioned as a mid-to-higher level joint, adding new hotel towers and other amenities. It continued on this way for several years but when Mandalay Bay was built, company focus turned away from Luxor and to its more impressive new sibling.

When MGM Mirage bought Luxor in 2004, they began to plan its much needed re-birth. This was to include renovations, a new show, new attractions – the works. After a failed attempt at Broadway with ‘Hairspray’, the company turned to faithful partner Cirque du Soleil to create a show along with New Jersey’s pride, Criss Angel.

These renovations are currently underway – the new show opened October 2008, the rooms will be re-done by next year and a new slate of restaurants have been put in place. Even ‘Ra’, the nightclub that was ahead of its time in Las Vegas has been replaced by ‘LAX’, an outpost of an LA joint. The Egyptians are moving out of the pyramid it seems, replaced by silk sheets, high end steaks and French-Canadian magic tricks.

I booked my vacation ( airfare and hotel) throught Orbitz. Cost was $250 for roundtrip airfare and 3 nights at Luxor. Checked in at SFO (San Francisco) caught an earlier flight and arrived at Luxor at exactly 3pm. (Check in time) Waited about 10 minutes in line, got a no smoking room in the West Tower with a king size bed. (room 11 359 to be exact) I was very happy with the room. Nice view of the entire pyramid, spotless room and bathroom, nice tub and glass shower. The maid never came in when we were there and always cleaned it beautifully. We were all the way at the end of the hall between vacant hotel room and the emergency exit. Never heard any noise except for the occaisonal door closing down the hall. I have very few complaint but I do have to complain however, this is a review. The shower had very low water pressure making it hard to rinse my long hair, the air conditioning system was weak,and room service is very overpriced. Typical. Out of all of the casinos on the Strip (and I went to all of them) Luxor was always the busiest. Maybe it's slow since the economy sunk, the war started, people are getting SARS, and the world is slowly ending...oops. I didn't say that, But Las Vegas was very very slow compared to my pre 9/11 stay. And I do mean very very slow. People staying here should keep in mind that is hotel in on the South Strip. The strip is a very long walk from one end to the other. Not a comfortable walk either. So be prepared to take cabs, buses, trams, and trolleys. Don't rent a car. There is too much traffic anyway. You will be guaranteed frustration. And who needs that on vacation?
