Luxor is TA's ';most reviewed'; hotel!





This was the answer in a TA trivia contest that was held for Destination Experts. I can%26#39;t recall the exact figure, but it has over 3000 reviews. I was not surprised that it turned out to be a Las Vegas property, but surprised it was that particular one.





Not really significant info I know, just thought others would find it interesting...

Part of the reason is of the so called Mega Resorts on the strips Luxor offer some of the best promotional deals on the internet and print.





From what I have observed it also had one of the most polarizing repuatations.





Include me among them, but I have read more negative reviews of this hotel than any other on the strip.

A fascinating insight into the secret treats that are exclusively available to DEs.





A world that the rest of us can only imagine what it%26#39;s like to enter....... :-)




Lmaoooooooo Blagger!




I will not reveal our secret handshake, knock and motto , even if tortured! We members if Order of the Owl have to take a pledge!




I%26#39;ve stayed many places in LV but never made it to the Luxor. From the reviews, sounds like if you do stay there that the tower rooms are better than the pyramid.





Last time I went in there was last July. I think it was DarrenfromIndy that had some posts about them having a decent BJ game at a few of their tables. Maybe we just went at the wrong time but went into the casino late morning on either a Sat or Sun. - it was a ghost town with very slim pickens on BJ.

Tower Rooms is the way to go if you%26#39;re going to Stay at Luxor. Iv%26#39;e noticed for a while now over say hmm last year or so that promos from them do a markup for the Tower Rooms. Last time i stayed was Feb last year and Tower rooms were standard with the promos I received through email/snail mail..not such the case anymore at least from the offers iv%26#39;e gotten. Try the $20.00 trick when checking in to see you get upgraded to a tower room. East Tower.




Since luxor starting expanding into the Club Culture and adding several longues it has taken away from gaming space from the Casino Floor. Slots seem far less then they used to and I think table gaming isnt as much either.




I think there are a few reasons for this.



First of course would be that the hotel has been around a while, although I don%26#39;t know how many years the reviews go back.



Most importantly, Luxor is a hotel used by many 1st time visitors to Las Vegas. And these first-time visitors are more likely to post a review.



Luxor also is thought of as a WOW hotel due to it%26#39;s theme. So it creates expectations which are either met or not for each individual.



And then there is the simple fact that since MGM-Mirage took over the hotel the number of disappointed guests has greatly increased. And nothing causes more people to post a review than a bad experiance.




People who have had a good stay at this hotel need to post more. Most of the bad reviews of this great hotel is about stains on carpets or walls or some piece of small ripped furniture. I think these people who complain about those things doesn%26#39;t state the fact or understand how old this hotel is. In my opinion I love staying in the spa suites in the pyrimad. COME ON PEOPLE WITH GOOD REVIEWS/Experiences On this hotel give them the good credit they deserve !




They have so many good promotion rates. I know a lot of younger people who stay there for the good deal, and because its their first time in Vegas!
