text: This is a Las Vegas Strip hotel not a regular hotel so keep that in mind if you are visiting the strip The amenities that you would usually expect have to be paid for but who stays in their room in Vegas except to sleep if that The casino does not have complimentary coffee in your room because they want you to go to downstairs and order from Starbucks Room service is higher than other places because most people just go downstairs to get something to eatnnAs far as a place to sleep it is not bad For what I paid on priceline for the night plus a resort fee altogether not bad for a hotel I was satisfied Parking is free and only mildly inconvenient I did not have too much luggage so the walk through the casino to the front desk about a ten minute walk was not too bad If you are with a family lugging bags latched onto bags with tots in tow then that is a different storynnIf you do not feel like staying in the Bellagio or the Venetian then a place like this is the next rung downnnIts located right in the middle of all that is worth seeing in the strip NY NY Mandalay BaynnThe main buffet is okay I do not particular favor buffets to begin with but for convenient eating meaning you just need sustenance it provides what you need But there are plenty of other better buffets in the adjacent hotelscasinos Stick to the restaurants thoughnnThe pool is crowded and chaoticand not in the sexy way you see on TV commercials Lots of families and kids cannonballing into the pool so if you aim to recline and look calm and cool like Don Draper try the Venetian The Luxor is where you lift up your sunglasses to give a sidelong glance at the overwhelmed father telling his six kids to stop runningnnBut if you just need a decent affordable room that is centrally located in the strip if you just need a place to sleep for the few hours you will probably devote to sleep because you will be out and about and grubbing and clubbing in the bright bright bright lights of Vegas then the Luxor will not fail you here
