Rough Guide
"Spending a night or two in this vast smoked-glass pyramid... still counts among the great Las Vegas experiences."
Frommer's
"Kitsch worshipers were dealt a blow when the people behind this hotel came to the inexplicable decision to eliminate most of the Egypt theme from the inside of it." Full review
Concierge
"Luxor has never fulfilled its potential as a top-notch property, but its aggressive restaurant and nightlife redo... has put it back on the radar screens of higher-end visitors."
Fodor's
"Welcome to the land of the Egyptians—Vegas style. This modern-world wonder is topped with a xenon light beam that burns brighter than any other in the world." Full review
Lonely Planet
"As the Luxor slowly sheds its kitschy Egyptian theme, guest rooms feature vaguely art-deco furnishings, plus marble bathrooms." Full review

Avoid lower-floor rooms in the pyramid, which vibrate all night long thanks to booming LAX nightclub downstairs.
Travel + Leisure

Rough Guide
"With a hundred retrofurnished rooms – some with flowery windowboxes – it’s tiny by Vegas standards, and slightly lower-key than its Fremont Street neighbors."
Frommer's
"Always the standout hotel in the Downtown area, a recent face-lift and expansion has made it more appealing than ever." Full review
Concierge
"The only hotel-casino in the sector that comes close to rivaling the Strip in respectability is the Golden Nugget, with its clean... guest rooms, its boisterous casino, and its Rush Tower."
Fodor's
"The Golden Nugget has pretty much reigned as Downtown's top property since the mid 1970s, evolving with the times, but maintaining classic appeal." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Looking like a million bucks, this casino hotel has set the downtown benchmark for extravagance." Full review

"For the price, the Golden Nugget is a steal, provided you don't mind staying in Vegas' older downtown neighborhood instead of the newer, livelier Strip." Full review
Time Out
"Following the improvements, the Nugget has consolidated its position as the best casino on Fremont Street." Full review
Star Service
"Despite a few flaws, it is one of the most solid values to be found in downtown Las Vegas." Full review
BlackBook
"The flagship casino of revitalized downtown, this sixty-year-old property recently underwent a $160 million top-to-bottom renovation."
Zagat

"The “closest thing Downtown has to a Strip hotel”, this “classy Vegas original” in the "heart of the fun" on Fremont Street is a “well-cared-for and well-loved” property."
