Best tip: check prices for different weekends and be flexible. Prices vary a lot from weekend to weekend and even more when you include weekdays.
I have stayed at many casinos in Vegas over the years. I mostly go to MGM properties since 2015. I was there a lot in 2015 since working in Arizona. This was my first time at the Luxor.
I used the kiosk to check in and it gave me a room on the red elevators which go up the side of the Pyramid rather than straight up. The elevator shook so much I was a little disturbed. I guess that is normal for elevator not going straight up, but I didn't like it. Also, I couldn't get the elevator to stop on my floor but it did stop on the floor below and above my room. So I went back to the front desk and they gave me a room with the sliver elevators which go straight up in one of the towers. Way better.
Gambling was a little slow as far as crowds go. But it was your basic Vegas gambling floor. They had a good variety of games but not as many as the bigger places.
I ate Mexican once in this resort and it was pretty good. Waitress was very nice and service was good.
My biggest problem with this resort, which is also a problem with MGM properties in general was that I did not get any comps for a 4 night stay with much gambling. And i usually bet pretty big.
Also my Express comps from years earlier expired. I was told years earlier that my $200+ express comps would never expire. Someone explained to me that MGM switched to a new system with MGM rewards instead of express comps. Hmmmm... They call it something different and change the rules about expiration. Not a good thing or ethical IMO.
As I checked out, I went to the Preferred guests (Hosts) room. I used to always check out with a host and they covered the entire bill including much food that was charged to my room. This time, because it had been so long (6 years) since I had been to an MGM property, my Platinum or Gold level had downgraded to the lowest level. As I explained to the host at the host room that I always checkout through a host, he told me that there were no hosts there. That if I wanted to talk to a host, I needed to go the the front desk and ask for one. I knew this was a lie, but I just left surprised.
The front desk rep seemed very surprised when I told her I was instructed by the host room to go there and ask for a host. She checked me out and nothing was comped. Unfortunately, we went on an expensive weekend (UFC fight). $800 for 4 nights. Wed-Sun.
I will never go back to the Luxor for being lied to.
I did get free room offers for any MGM properties in my email afterwards though for my next trip, which is kind of what I expected but I am still surprised and a little upset I didn't get any comps on site.
And oh yeah. While gambling late Sat. night (well early sunday morning) I was playing craps from the end of the table next to the dealer. He actually yelled at me multiple times for touching the table next to him. He said there's a rule that I can only reach out as far as my chips were on the pass line. I have played craps thousands of times and no one has ever told me I couldn't hold the dice in front of my chips like that. He was very upset that I touched the table in front of his station. I couldn't believe it as well as everyone else at the table. I was pretty drunk so I didn't let it bother me, i just laughed at how irate he was. I kept joking about it and inadvertently kept breaking that rule. Eventually I learned not to break that rule and made jokes about how I played for so many years and even dealers who didn't like me never told me about this rule. Even the supervisor backed up this rule. I was astonished that they would potentially upset a customer and others at the table over such a dumb rule. But I tried to adhere to the rule but forgot sometimes as old habits are hard to break.
I almost always tip the dealers. Not this time.
I didn't like the Luxor overall, but I think I may be spoiled a bit as I have stayed free so many times at almost all of the MGM properties.
