Hi,

I stayed at the Luxor for 7 nights ( 15th-22nd November) as I ran the Las Vegas Half Marathon on Sunday.

Check in at 730pm on Friday was quick ( 5mins waiting) and was given 5350 in the East Tower.

The view was of the roof, the side of the pyramid and the other tower with a glimpse of the mountains in the distance.

Whilst the room is not the most modern it was clean and comfortable with good storage. The bathroom had a separate bath and shower. For the first few nights I could hear doors banging at 4am.

Walking from the casino to the elevators the corridor was a little narrow and with 90 degree turns you could not see people coming until close to the corner.

I went to the buffet for saturday breakfast ( $16, $17 for lunch and $22 for dinner). It was ok ( limited selection of fruit and the orange juice tasted weak- all the jucices/soda and hot drinks are self service). The Mandalay Bay breakfast ( $16 M-F) is much better value for money.

The fitness centre was good and used the spa for the Friday afternoon ( I had a 8pm flight) and for $15 I used the fitness room, sauna, steam room and the spa as well as the shower.)

It was good value for money although it is at the south end of the strip.

Regards
