Luxor Hotel & Casino is a pyramid-shaped resort on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, at 3900 S Las Vegas Blvd. Its Egyptian-inspired exterior and beam of light make it easy to spot, while the casino, shows, restaurants and pool complex give you plenty to do on site. Rooms are spacious; Tower rooms are the more updated choice. Nearby resorts include Excalibur and Mandalay Bay, with other Strip stops accessible on foot or by tram.
The pyramid and its place on the Strip
Opened in 1993, Luxor is one of the most recognizable hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. The 30-story glass-and-steel pyramid sits at the south end of the boulevard, beside Mandalay Bay and close to Excalibur. Its shape is the defining feature from outside, with a beam of light rising from the pyramid’s tip after dark.
The resort’s Egyptian theme has changed over time, but the architecture still gives the building a distinct identity. A large replica of the Great Sphinx stands on the property. Inside, the rooms in the pyramid have sloped windows that follow the building’s angled walls. The hotel also has a Tower section, whose rooms are the more updated option.
Rooms, pools and getting around
Rooms are spacious, and the Tower accommodations are a practical choice if you prefer more modern updates. If noise is a concern, request a higher floor. The pyramid rooms have an unusual layout and angled windows, so choose them for the architectural experience rather than a conventional room shape.
The pool deck has four pools and plenty of space to relax. Seating is available, and towels are provided. Cabanas and a snack bar are also part of the pool area. The pools make the resort a useful base for families who want time in the water between Strip outings.
From Luxor, you can walk to nearby resorts including Excalibur and Mandalay Bay, or use tram services for connections in the area. Its south Strip location puts other hotels, restaurants and shows within reach, though reaching destinations farther along the boulevard takes more time.
Food, shows and activities
Dining ranges from full-service restaurants to quick meals at the food court. Quick-service choices include sandwiches, pizza, hot dogs, chicken tenders and burgers. Backstage Deli serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with sandwiches and burgers among the options. Portions at on-site restaurants are generous, and prices are in line with Las Vegas dining.
The Buffet at Luxor is below the casino and has stations for made-to-order omelets, carved meats, salads, seafood, pizza and desserts. It focuses on familiar dishes and variety, rather than a high-end dining experience. The buffet information in the available material is inconsistent on its schedule and pricing, so check current details before making plans.
Entertainment and attractions include stage shows, an interactive games space called Play Playground, and exhibitions. The resort has also hosted Titanic and Bodies exhibitions, but exhibition availability can change. Check what is currently showing before you go. The casino is another option on site; some areas may feel dated compared with newer resorts.
