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.

"Despite its very unfashionable location at the far north end of the Strip, the Stratosphere has survived thanks to rock-bottom rates and a steady flow of budget tour groups."

Mid-Range
"The 2,444-room Stratosphere Hotel and Casino... is on the northern outskirts of the Strip... but it's still a great pick for the price." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The 2,427 guest rooms are basic but comfortable; “select” rooms contain updated amenities like marble floors and flat-screen TV’s." Full review
Time Out
"The Stratosphere strives to be a destination resort out of necessity: it's between the Strip and Fremont Street, essentially no-man's land." Full review
Star Service
"This hotel, the northern anchor for The Strip, is hard to miss, even in this city of horizon-hogging landmarks." Full review

Accommodations are in the Premier, World and Regency towers, with those in the Premier tower being the most requested for their decor and views from high floors.
Gayot
"This place is good news for bargain hunters --- the service is friendly, and the prices and betting action are great."
Fodor's
"Down below, in two hotel towers, standard rooms were renovated in late 2010 and are now downright sumptuous for the price." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The bland hotel rooms are not actually inside the tallest tower west of the Mississippi River but they're usually a bargain." Full review
