My family stayed here in I think summer 1996. I was a kid but loved it. There were a ton of things to learn about Egypt. There were people dressed on costumes working along the Nile tour... there was a really great video game arcade... down below there was a recreation of King Tut's tomb and a gift shop with stone scarabs and ancient Egyptian coins. Ive stayed again since then and its not the full experience it originally was.

[@HarvardArchaeology]

It's because egypt was full black in the BC times. Alot shown can't be shown anymore it's big deep old history. Shuts down islam immediately in a minute. Big hidden geographical history. Involves OLMECS of n.mexico too. Involves carthage and original greece. Hindu people are effected by that history as well. Because kushite black women began the hindi India race.

Fun fact. All the furniture in your room came from the Bellagio from their recent renovation! But to explain the state of the hotel, the luxor is one of those hotels that is a victim of the great "de-themeing" of Vegas where all the themed hotels lose their theme, get only the most basic renovations and they dont put money into them because they're "chintzy" and "tacky" (see also Excalibur, Circus Circus, etc). Its not bad not as fabulous as it once was, but I have a soft spot for campy hotels. If you want a REALLY bad hotel, check out the Rio, Ellis Island, Or OYO. Those are GNARLY

[@WalkWithMeTim]

really ? it does look out of place lol

[@MrHappyunited5]

Yup, it’s the old Bellagio furniture and I’m almost certain the sun loungers are from the Bellagio as they were all replaced half way through our stay in June this year. Bellagio new shiny loungers, Luxor old Bellagio loungers.

[@thejokersmistress15]

OYO was SO BAD. I stayed there last year for a single night because of a hotel reservation snafu at the Bellagio, and not only was its nasty, but I felt totally unsafe staying alone. The locks on my door weren’t fully secure and my room was right next to the stairs. Every time someone closed their room door, it would rattle mine and scare me.

[@MrGaryGlimmer]

These are the sorts of videos that help people choose where to stay in Vegas. I did this when I went in 2012 as I wanted to stay at the Bellagio until I saw the videos of the rooms and what I can only describe as old granny bedrooms. I ended up at the Aria which was very modern and had all the tech back then. Keep up the good work Tim.

[@evelynroadmedia9415]

Yeah, as you can imaging, a Casino has a theme and 70% of the rooms are more or less copy and paste (these are the more budget room), the high end rooms/complementry rooms (almost like apartment flats) is where they literally splash their budget, high rollers and famous people are held in high regard to us common folk.

[@KevinJDildonik]

Vegas or at least the Strip is for pensioners. Today's old people are wasting their family wealth gambling rather than leaving anything for their children. It's just embarrassing to most young people. Young people are only in Vegas for shows and a laugh.

I stayed there several times when it first open and it was beautiful. I recently stayed there and I couldn’t believe how run down and dated the room and even parts of the hotel. I did also noticed the hotel and room had a old smell and elevators suck but had a nice time with family. Thanks again for another cool and informative video.

[@sherrellbennett1333]

My late husband and I stayed there somewhere around late 1990's or early 2000's. It was the filthiest room I ever saw. Plus, when I sat on the edge of the bed, a spring popped up through the mattress, cutting my thigh. I looked under the sheet and could tell it didn't just happen because there were a few other holes in the mattress. After complaining to the staff at the check in desk the guy looked me up and down (I am a plus size woman, probably 170 lbs. at the time) and said "Are you SURE it didn't just happen?". So insulting. They ended up giving us a suite. It was obviously under cleaned. There was trash left in dresser drawers, hair in the tub, dust around the bed and the TV remote was missing, rendering it useless. And there was a cart with dirty dishes piled up just outside our door that stayed there the entire 3 days we were there. I would never stay there again. Not just because of the dirtiness, but because of the insulting way I was treated.

Room service sent a guy up to clean the shower but for what I paid I'd never stay there again.

I think one of the biggest problems Luxor has is so much was built custom for it. There are no replacement parts for those elevators...inclinators, the HVAC in the rooms, etc. That makes the cost of maintenance and renovation exceedingly high in a time when everything uses off the shelf components.

Back in 2002, my Dad took a trip to Vegas with my uncles and aunts, leaving my mom behind to handle the start of school with us kids. I vividly recall watching the camcorder footage of his adventure through the hotel and in fact we still have it!; my jaw dropped as I realized just how massive it was with all the footage he took it almost felt like i was there. From the bustling airport seen from his window to the planes soaring overhead, the scale was awe-inspiring. Looking back, I can't help but chuckle at my younger self's shock at this cool place, vegas seemed light years ahead with everything. Time has a funny way of altering our perceptions, hasn't it? It seems like those older hotels are now focused on maximizing profits, perhaps sensing the inevitable shift toward newer, more modern accommodations. It's as if they're bracing for the inevitable transition, doubling down on standards to stay relevant until the very end.

Hi Tim. Ive always thought this hotel was all glitz and glamour. Looks very modern down stairs, but shocked to see the rooms looking very dull and in need of a massive makeover.

I stayed at the Luxor little less than a month ago and thought it was a dump - lifts took 10-15 minutes. Parts of the room wall were visibly chipped, the paint on the bathroom door was peeling, as was the ceiling in the shower. The lifts themselves seemed to be in disrepair, as you showed in your video. I complained to the manager and they took off the resort fees, but I wouldn't recommend staying there again. Actually going back to Vegas a few weeks after getting back from Britain but am going to Planet Hollywood. Great pity, I used to really like the Luxor. Granted not high end like Wynn, but still was a nice place. Alas no longer. Dunno if they have bed bugs, but it wouldn't surprise me. All in all, not worth staying at Luxor given that it's a long walk from every place else. In any case, safe travels back to the UK.

I first stayed at the Luxor in the year 2000 which was a present from my parents as I finished an around the world trip.

Thanks for sharing this walk through. We had stayed there three different times over the years. First time was about a year or so after it opened. Back then they had people who walked around the main areas dressed up as King Tut and Queen Nefertiti who guided you towards the attractions. In the room, the Egyptian theme decorated the cabinets and the shampoo bottles were shaped like obelisks. It's too bad they let that design go was it was really attractive.The rooms also were very bright and cheerful with light colored woods that gave the sense of living in the desert. Luxor is sure showing its age and I hope they redesign the property to make feel new again.

Terrible place to stay in, but the shops and events are great. Just head (south) towards Mandalay Bay and the connecting shopping mall is fantastic. Since parking is free for locals, we all park at Luxor, walk in, go up past the food court and then right. Out of the hotel in 2 minutes. And then head down to the mall and eating areas towards Mandalay Bay. Yes, that's right - the giant bridge you see connecting the two from the outside is an entire shopping center. that also connects to the more normal towers to the south. All of the places inside it are far better than inside the Luxor as well.

If you think about it mathematically, they own a very large, square plot of land. They built a very large building, which is not square, taking up (lets be generous) half of the space of a comparable square building. Then, most of that space on the inside of the pyramid is empty, as the rooms are only connected directly to the outside of the triangular faces. For such a big hotel, there are a shockingly few amount of rooms.

This place is incredible: very 'futuristic' looking, and they even have the "Titanic" exhibition that contains actual recovered artifacts from the doomed liner.

[@jilllawton8556]

You get a ticket with the name of an actual passenger. At the end you get to find out if you drowned. I did.

[@richjamjam]

Yay new video! I've stayed in the Luxor. The booking was messed up and we got upgraded to a suite. It was like a whole separate living room extra. And yeah the hotel is massive. Lots of walking. I remember the underground cafe breakfast was amazing. First time I had ribs at breakfast lol. Good old Vegas

[@WalkWithMeTim]

lol best way to do it

[@sherrie3849]

Wow that was interesting Tim. We stayed in the Luxor in 2003, it looks so different not and is showing it's age. We had a room overlooking McCarran airport which was a real treat for me but the prices are so shocking now, don't think I could aford it. Love your vlogs though xx

[@AbbeyGail-n4m]

Wow Tim this Hotel was so surprising it had me laughing😂 You never fail to surprise! I honesty expected a real dive of a place in a really dinghy area of Las Vegas. But this Pyramid was a delight! The Grand Entrance was an experience in itself & then The Titanic Exhibition well i was absolutely sold! Ive always been interested in The Titanic since i was 14, it a shame it wasn't open i would of loved to see it. The dead body museum sounded very fitting for the spooky season, a touch of the macarbre! I loved all the levels & the balconys from the rooms where you could look out & see all the different restaurants & things to do & yes the people did look like little Ants from high up! I was really excited about the Casino tho i understand you probably couldn't film in there with all that wild money flying about! Your room was definitely showing its age the bed sounded uncomfortable & the room was very dated. And needed a refurb. In fact the whole hotel probably needs a proper refurb to get rid of the smell of old smoke. I did actually take to that psychedelic Carpet on the video. Its a shame its not all brand new. But having said that it does have a cosiness about it especially the Pyramid Restaurant, personally for me thst had more charm than Costas that all look the same with cardboard food. I hope the food experience in there was nice Tim. Your Swimming Pants going missing was a mystery 🤔😂 But the pool area was lovely with the Egyptian Theme everywhere outside. Really a truly amazing experience Tim. I was so happy looking around only wish we could have all been there with you.. The only bit that felt spooky to me was the area at the top it looked deserted up there & the spooky story about the workers who might of died there! But overall i really found this Hotel to be a special gem & certainly not a place ive ever imagined...

[@80gam]

Great video, glad you are not shying away from highlighting the less glamorous parts of the hotel. Honest reviews is what we are wanting. The hotel does look in need of some serious TLC…not sure whether it will be on my list of places to stay. 😊

[@SashaUK-tl9nl]

American bacon always looks so delicious. Speaking of The Shining, maybe you could save up some pennies and go and check out The Stanley Hotel in Colorado (I think) which was the inspiration for The Overlook…and is apparently the most haunted hotel in America. That would be fascinating.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes I have been looking at that ;-)

[@macdaddy1658]

As a newcomer to Tim and his travels I have to say being home bound for a couple of days thinking how am I gonna get through this (being a active man with a short attention span ) I need not of worried , I have watched so many of tims adventures and found them very addictive and informative , not being a well traveled man, (scarred of flying) I found myself addicted ,,lol, and I've not even mentioned the fun side of tims personality, his shower to people ratio , the evil bed bug insecurity, ect, loving this channel x

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Means alot thanks

[@plektosgaming]

The tower rooms are evidently much newer and where all of their best effort goes into. There also is a convention center there. This is a hidden gem that most business travelers know about as there is a direct shuttle from the local airport to the hotel. Go in, head south to the towers and the shopping mall. And no tourists :) Rates are under $100 with a $30 food credit if you book a bit in advance, since the tower is less "touristy" and fills up slower.

[@PrettyinGreenn]

I've really taken a liking to your videos. I find them so relaxing lol

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you like them!

[@nigelstockley7011]

well done for having your flies undone for the entire section talking about your disappearing swimming shorts 🙂

[@malloryknox5852]

The ghost not only stole your shorts, but he pulled your fly down also.

[@rosemc2]

I was there a couple years ago and didn’t wanna stay there for obvious reasons, it’s notorious for a lot of things but my husband doesn’t really believe in ghosts and I stayed awake all night 😂😂

[@JamesMcDermott1968x]

DUDE, zip your fly up, could almost see Cleopatra's Needle

[@WalkWithMeTim]

ha ha hah

[@NeilDeal2023]

Wow. I remember staying here in the 90s when it was in it's prime. One thing I really recall was every time I went to look out the window at the view I'd bang my forehead into the window (not expecting the slanted glass)! I also remember my brother staying right next door at the Excalibur. Turns out 'right next door' in Vegas means quite the hike! 🏃‍♂

[@AwfulWaffle8474]

20:03 Tim's fly is down. lol

[@deanwild4971]

This is pure nostalgia for me. I stayed there as a kid in the early 90s (pretty sure it has just been built). We were on an amazing 3 week family holiday travelling all over the west coast. Best holiday of my life.

[@ITB_News]

Tim, don't put your suitcase on the bed at any point if they had bed bugs. They will climb into your suitcase and then you bring them home 😮

[@princessmarlena1359]

You beat me to it!

[@jilllawton8556]

Brought home the other crawly things from Malta. Cockroaches

[@Pinkkermit17]

I stayed there back when the “Nile river” was going through the hotel, the boat ride was short but was fun to do. My room was on the bottom floor but I didn’t mind at all, close to everything

[@WhiskeySmith]

Hey Tim, the Luxor looks huge but the rooms look very dated. Oh btw you left your zip open on your shorts mate 😂 it’s while your explaining you forgot your swim shorts

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I know it was the trauma of losing them lol

[@Perich29]

What I miss that they used to have at the Luxor 23 years ago was the Simulator rides which it was thrilling and their I max theater. Back in 2000, the entire city of Las Vegas was a one big Theme Park but now, alot of attraction has been going away.

[@Spookieham]

It always amazes me that what the US calls a premium room in a good hotel is very poor compared to Europe, Asia etc. I've stayed in Casino hotels in Australia who would be embarrassed to rent rooms like that

[@estelalopez3563]

There are better hotel rooms in las Vegas than the pyramid right now but the pyramid was beautiful in the past

[@JimBrownski]

Yeah this is an ancient, dated hotel by Vegas standards. This is harldy the representation of all the more modern Hotels built the last 20 years. These old hotels used to allow smoking so they all have that old cigarette stain/smell. Vegas builds new hotels every 2-3 years and is always evolving . This casino will proably be gutted soon

[@cynthiagallaher]

Some architect or builder told my brother-in-law that the way the Luxor was constructed could make it collapse in on itself like a house of cards someday. But the was more than 12 years ago, and it's still standing.

[@theraveofdave6435]

ive just returned from a 10 day vegas holiday, we stayed in the luxor on floor 28. from one brit to another, spend the extra and stay in mandalay bay. luxor was one of the most revolting hotels ive ever stopped in, and ive stayed in hostels all over europe!! every sunday they do an LGBTQ party in the pool and you have to pay to use the pool even if you dont want to go to the vile party. and the pools are disgusting, they dont clean them at all, theres like a haze in the water of spilt drinks / peoples sunlotions / and hair!!! SPEND THE EXTRA and go to mandalay bay, its actually easier to get to as there is a free express monorail that skips the luxor out completely!

[@Hx3ney]

The most believable legend I think I've ever heard. Poor workers and their families, must've been very difficult to build that place.

[@caj1119]

Nice video. And, this place cost around 40% more than Circus Circus but was at least 400% better.

[@CJ-ep7tg]

if you want to see something wild, take the stairs. the stairwell is basically sandwiched between the inner and outer pyramid shape.

[@PassingBy1118]

I stayed 15 years ago, and it was already pretty run down and musty. It's a real shame because it is a beautiful hotel.

[@NatalieMarie917]

I have found that hotels with a Starbucks inside usually don’t have coffee makers in the rooms.

[@andrewfoster259]

I stayed in the Luxor back in September 2018, Me and my mate stayed in the Pyramid on the 15th floor and also went to see the Blue Man Group while we were there. Fantastic 😃 We had a view of Mandalay Bay and the airport from our window. And back in 2006 I visited the Bodies exhibition and also the Titanic exhibition when they were in the Tropicana Hotel.

[@NonFlyiingDutchman]

I remember seeing news coverage of this place being built in the 90's and always wanted to go there. Finally stayed there a couple of years ago and it was a bit of a disappointment; the room was quite dated and showing signs of wear and tear. The money these places make it's surprising they can't keep the rooms maintained.

[@alexzandramusic]

I feel like it could be so cool if they remodeled and freshened it up. I wish I could re-do it! My favorite stay in Vegas is always the Venetian!

[@Joe-q6x]

It's such a shame they let this hotel go. It use to be a nice place to stay. $292 a night for the Luxor is CRAZY!, during the week it is $39 a night.

[@wakeywarrior]

Stayed there about 26 years ago when it was fairly new and they were building the Mandalay Bay next door. Hit the jackpot on the slots which paid for the room for about 4-5 nights we were there. Looks a bit old now. Unfortunately another hotel they have stopped investing in properly and it’s getting run down. Back then Vegas was the cheapest place to eat and drink in the USA, now it’s the most expensive. Back then the room was about $40 a night.

[@BrainboxccGames]

i stayed here about 15 years ago in a pyramid room. it was amazing! good video

[@skylove1336]

The last we stayed there was like 15 years ago and absolutely nothing has changed not the rooms, restaurants, or shows. And that smell you described that was there too! Bonus I found a triple D bra tucked in the covers at the base of the bed, so I wondered if the cleaning staff just straight didn’t change the sheets.

[@jacquelinebrunder2384]

I would be terrified going along those walkways to my room. Surely the walkways should be covered with mesh.

[@CompetentCooks]

Some context for you! Luxor (and Excalibur) are in the lowest tier of MGM hotels in Vegas. As such, they get the least repair work-as you've seen-and diminished amenities. For example, the removal of the minibars (and the coffee machines, which were serviced by the same people) was because they were making less money than it cost to keep them filled and maintained-Luxor guests tend to be more on a budget than at, say, Bellagio. Combined with the difficulty in hiring staff as we came out of the pandemic, and minibars got cut. Those inclinators... you're not wrong; they're badly battered. The problem is that they were obviously custom-built, so repairing them is very expensive. I don't believe they've had any work done since the hotel opened, other than routine preventative maintenance. They're long overdue for an overhaul, and I doubt it'll ever happen. You mentioned the Nile River Ride from the hotel's opening-one reason that was removed is that they needed the space to brace up the structure, which continues to sink about an inch a year due to massive underestimates on its weight and on the support ability of the underlying caliche. (Also, it's "caf-ay" in the US, not "caff.") Luxor started as a midrange hotel in the Circus-Circus Resort Group (later, Mandalay Bay Group), but when MGM purchased all of Mandalay, Luxor became just a step up from the very-low-end Circus-Circus... which was sold and is now independent, leaving Luxor and Excalibur at the bottom of the heap. The rooms RARELY get new furniture or carpet-the hotel has no service elevators in the pyramid, so getting materials up and down is VERY logistically difficult, and given the hotel's average pricing over the year, they just decided it isn't worth it. Shame, really. It was around 2015 or so that they started removing the Egyptian theming from the inside, which is super-weird, since... IT IS A PYRAMID, right? But they went with a "basic modern" look that hasn't held up especially well, unfortunately. It's a hotel with a bit of an identity crisis, although not as bad as the Frat Castle (what locals call Excalibur) next door. I should point out that I think the American Automotive Association (AAA) rates Luxor as 3 diamonds out of 5; one reason for amenities like soda machines and ice machines is AAA's requirements. If they took out the ice machines they might drop to 2 diamonds, for example. AAA has a surprisingly large impact on how US hotels are built and equipped.

[@cindyhavey1497]

okay. for several reasons Luxor is my home away from home. an easy indoor walk into mandalay bay. a short walk to mgm grand. cheaper rates than both and who really stays in their room that much. there are a lot of absolutely wonderful people who work there. I always get a hug from the cafe hostess who seated you and the waitress in the background is a sweetheart. but yes, the pyramid itself kinda sucks to stay in. however the towers are nice. always my choice. lots of remodeling this year. new casino paint and carpet. lots of improvements in the bathrooms...fixtures and shower doors. so many their are my second family. have known some for over 25 years. this is not one of mgm's higher end properties but it certainly is not as bad as some portray. just go with the towers!! oh yeah...be there in 3 days...yippee!!

[@tumolucky17]

I stayed in the Luxor in 2012, it was quiet dated then. Shame they don’t renovate the rooms as it’s such a unique hotel design

[@thiseuphoria1]

I was here opening night as a local! I moved away and stayed there when I came back for a visit 24 years later. It was showing its age but it smelled nice and the theme was novel and fun. I could see the entire east valley from the strip-facing room I had including the neighborhood where I used to live and the airport. It was relaxing watching the planes take off and land. I'm a simple lady at heart. I just need fancy surroundings, apparently :D E: they charge for early check in?? Unconscionable.

[@annegraham4307]

Hi Tim. Just discovered your channel recently. I’m a Scot living in the US for many years. Loving your videos. Have only stayed at the Luxor once many years ago. Had booked a room in the pyramid but after checking into it we found an outside door in the room like the door had been kicked in and replaced and they forgot to take the old door way. The pyramid rooms were so claustrophobic that we went back down to reception and had them move us to the tower rooms which are floor to ceiling glass windows. So much nicer. Mind you, this was years ago so not sure how they are now. Thanks for showing us your travels and letting us see if a place is worth staying. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

[@rasferrastfarian739]

We went to Vegas in 2012 and walked through the Luxor. Interesting and yes it smelt! We walked down that hall to the Excalibur. It IS massive! Glad you stayed there - we wouldn't! 🙂

[@Teh_Goat]

@20:30 the zip on your shorts disappeared as well 😄
