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
