Staying In Las Vegas’ Infamous Luxor Resort (It Was Bad)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator evaluates a stay at the Luxor Las Vegas, a highly themed Egyptian-style resort that opened in 1993. After reviewing the history of the property, the creator describes an experience in a Pyramid Elite Suite that felt significantly worn and poorly maintained. Specific complaints include unusable square footage due to slanted walls, malfunctioning air conditioning, visible stains on furniture, and a lingering scent of cigarette smoke in a non-smoking room. The creator also notes that the view from the window was obstructed by a large advertisement. Beyond the room, the video covers the resort's amenities, including the casino, various shows, and a Titanic artifact exhibition, which the creator critiques for being campy and disrespectful. While the creator acknowledges that the hotel offers extremely low prices compared to other Las Vegas properties, they conclude that the lack of cleanliness and quality makes it a poor value. The video ends with a formal scoring system, where the Luxor receives a low total score due to its lack of luxury and amenities, leading the creator to advise travelers to prioritize resort quality over the lowest possible nightly rate.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I've heard rumors and jokes about this hotel for years and it's often on the list of places you probably shouldn't spend the night in Las Vegas
the entire room is extremely worn there is wear and teror in basically every room with walls Trim in fixtures I mean everything has marks and scuffs
the $70 we paid for two people was honestly kind of worth it just to see the big piece but it also got me thinking on the ethics of the whole experience
overall I would not stay here again I think there are other options and when budgeting a trip to Vegas I would prioritize the resort over the lowest per night rate you can get
