Las Vegas August 2020 - Luxor Mega Tour & Why They Shouldn't Close This Vegas Icon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Come join us for a full #tour of #Luxor on the #Las #Vegas #Strip! This was filmed in August 2020! Recently there have been rumors about the possible closure and #demolition of this property! milestomemorie...
While I don't necessarily think the rumors are 100% true, this hotel does struggle so I thought it was worth touring to show you why it's a true icon. From an iconic building to incredible theming, Luxor might just surprise you! I know by the end you'll have seen something at Luxor that you've never seen before! Also stick around for the section in the hotel stairs! As you might expect they can't go straight up and down, but you'll have to watch to find out how cool that area is! And yes we'll ride the sideways elevators too!

I hope Luxor isn't torn down. I love seeing the pyramid when flying in...classic Vegas icon.
Agreed!
Living in Las Vegas i just love seeing the light of the Luxor and how its the heart of Las vegas. Las Vegas would be nothing without it.
Agreed!
Seriously, nothing?! Like there’d be no reason whatsoever to visit Vegas??
@@douglasjaeger1559 Just a saying, but indeed Vegas wouldn't be the same. No doubt it would still have a lot of appeal.
I agree. The hotel is still beautiful but like anything open to the public, it needs some tlc. Losing the theme would be a total shame. The themes are what differentiate the properties and create cool memories.
Dude, if I was rich, I'd buy the whole damn thing. It's too beautiful to demolish...
I personally appreciate you taking us into that building and making us feel like we are physically there. Thanks.
I really like the themed resorts from the 90s, where every building is unique. Now all the places look like a fancy high rise from any major city in the world, Vegas has lost a bit of its uniqueness; need to bring back some neon lights again. Loved Luxor as a kid, they had a great arcade back then.
I agree! I understand the move towards more modern generic properties, but I don think there is room for theming in casinos. I wouldn't be surprised if coming out of this whole situation that Vegas finds a whole different way to reinvent itself. Maybe themed casinos will make a comeback!
I really liked the "old" casinos of the 70s. Top music, comedy and burlesque shows. It was elegant and classy back then, people actually got dressed up when they went out and the strip was wide open and free to speed down past all the limo's with the top down. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Jerry Lewis, Dianna Ross every big name in entertainment on the marquis.
I have stayed at Luxor many times and when I can get back there will stay at Luxor again. Even when I was there for a conference off strip, I made my way to the Aurora bar for some drinks. Whatever structural problems the pyramid has can be fixed, please don't tear this icon down!
I love the Luxor. My very 1st trip to Vegas was in 1992. My friends and I stayed at a run down hotel called “the hacienda”, right next door to the Luxor that was almost completed. While we were there they were painting the sphinxs famous headdress. Little did I know that the hacienda was about to be torn down and be replaced by Mandalay Bay.. Great memories.
Nice little bit of history you stayed in unknowingly. Hacienda’s time had passed but it had a nice history too. The 90s changed Vegas so much.
Love watching Las Vegas hotel tours during this pandemic. Just much different than normal times and interesting.
Thanks for watching!
Stayed there up to and including New Year's Eve 2005, so saw the fireworks..and got engaged!
I was a kid from the So-Cal that often went to Vegas in the mid 90's, mann... the themeparks and themed Casino's made it so much fun going.
Same! I miss MGM Grand Adventures so much.
Thanks for doing such a great job with our hotel I work there 23 years and I love it and I appreciate this look that you given for everyone to see how great it is!
Wow this means a lot! I’m so glad you liked the video Ginger!
I love Luxor, they shouldn't have de-Egypt it, awesome design
Yeah they’ve taken a lot away but thankfully there is still a lot there to enjoy!
What is changed?
@@worldofdamys3716 the pool where those cement slabs are in the middle use to have all palm trees it was so much better looked like you were in another place. There was more statues and stuff. they had Nefertiti lounge . The buffet was called pharaoh's feast buffet. the stores by the walkway to Excalibur had big fountains with big statues looks so cool. big talking camels. the carpets and stuff in the actually casino had more Egyptian theme. the food court was so cool looked like you were in an Cairo marketplace. awesome Egyptian restaurants. Isis, sacred sea room, papyrus. They had a museum with artifacts and tombs and stuff was so cool to see.
@@deetampa6785 Why was it removed?
@@chownful they made it all more modern and less themed I guess. I miss how it all use to be. I still like luxor but It was better I gotta find link of the pool with the trees. it was nice you still got to sit on the ledge and the trees would be behind you.
The fact Aaliyah - Rock The Boat in the background. 🖤❤️🙌🏾
This was a great video, nice behind the scenes. Never thought about the stairs to view, how they were built. Very cool.
Thanks so much!
I remember when those pads in the middle of the pool had landscaping. I want to say they had palm trees. Before the food court was remodeled, it had Swenson's ice cream, Little Caesar's, and I think it had a McDonald's. I also remember the space containing the Bodies exhibit also being the 2 level Games of the Gods arcade from SEGA.
Honestly we stay there every time we go to Vegas it’s our favorite by a long shot.
That's awesome! I think the rooms are due for a refresh, but the price is right at Luxor and it's a unique place to stay for sure.
This was brilliant I'm from the Uk and visited Vegas three years ago, I really wish I'd watched this video prior to my trip as there was so much I missed.
Glad you enjoyed it Steve! Thanks for watching and I hope you can get back here at some point to see everything you missed!
Great walk through Shawn! Once again, great historical perspective, through property inspection, I love the high vantage point videos.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing what you put up next.
Thanks Steve!
Truly one of a kind hotel that should never be torn down. Great video Thumbs up
It really is! Thanks!
Boycott all MGM properties if they tear the great Luxor down!!
Let's hope it doesn't come to that!
Nice Job!! The walk through the stair well was way cool!..now my story..I Love The Luxor!! It's My Home In Vegas. I've been a guest there since '94..and it was really something to experience in the 90s..she was a 5 star resort..my last visit to Vegas was Aug 2019..and I can't wait to return..And Yes..she a little run down and showing her age..but I love it..it holds a special place in my heart. There's been a lot of changes..some Good and some Bad..it's gone through 3 or 4 remodels..but it's not going to be torn down any time soon. Thanks For The Tour.
Thanks for watching!
I agree with you, the Luxor is one of the few LV properties where the allure of seeing/touching its (still impressive) structural engineering is a driving force for visitation. Your view up the side really was impressive and reminds me of what I always did when I lived in New York in the 80s, which was to pause at the corner of the World Trade Center tower where it met the sidewalk. . . and look up. They say that tags you as "a tourist" but that was nonsense: I never ever tired of that view. Glad I found your channel. I am enjoying these tours. Thank you!
Man I wish I could do that with the World Trade Center. My first trip to New York was in 2007 and unfortunately at that time there was only a hole in the ground as they were beginning to build the underground portion of Freedom Tower. I'm glad you enjoy the tours and my perspective.
I stayed here 3 weeks after opening when I got married. Years later in 2005, I worked here. It holds a special place in my heart. Best place to work
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your history with Luxor. I hope it sticks around a long time.
@@Milestomemories me too
I love driving from Cali to Vegas at dusk. The light from the Luxor shining in the distance. Just gets you pumped
Absolutely!
Quality pictures!!! Thank You!!! I really enjoyed your video!!!🎉
Thanks Traci!
It's sad how they've un-Egyptianed the place! The Sphinx, a few statues and the shape alone are the only things that connect it to the name. The Egyptian-heavy theme was so cool in 2003 when I went for my honeymoon.
The view down from the atrium is amazing! I'm glad you also get excited over the sideways ascensors (?). I love them.
The Luxor can never get too old. It’s a master piece. I love this hotel so much. I visit the place every time I go to Vegas.
Long live Luxor! 😂
Loved this presentation and as detailed as this is definitely this unique property needs to remain intact and in operation. Thank you for this amazing video!
Thanks James! Really glad you enjoyed it!
Miles to Memories you’re welcome. I liver here and continue to work here on the strip although due to the virus I am still laid off, but it is so nice to see representation like this of these amazing hotel resorts we have here in this, the best city of them all! I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and look forward to reviewing others too. Thank you for showing the world what a spectacular place Las Vegas really is.
3 years ago we went to Las Vegas and we realised: THIS IS OUR CITY. We stayed in Luxor and we realised: THIS IS OUR HOTEL. We loved the City and the People. This time there was incredible. We hope to see Las Vegas and Luxor soon. Viva Las Vegas! Viva Luxor! Greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching Rudolfo! I hope you can come visit again soon!
I was just watching the video of them building this incredible casino so to hear you say it could be torn down was jarring to say the least.
Thankfully they recently announced a room renovation so hopefully that means Luxor is safe for awhile.
I worked there 1996-1997 and it was a fun place to work. Stayed there for staycation many times over the years. My favorite place on the strip.
Very nice! I don’t think enough locals appreciate it. Thanks James!
So cool! Great video 👍🏼 It's so sad about everything and seeing it's not operating at it's full potential, but at least it makes for a great video and an opportunity to see it without all the crowds!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
The Luxor was the first Hotel I stayed in back in 1997, I loved it there. I remember they had the canoes going through the hotel back then, so cool. It took a while for me to get used to the elevator going up sideways, LOL. Stayed there 4 years in a row.
Yeah you used to take the Nile River Boat ride to your room from the entrance. Those were the days.
Stayed here a few times with my wife.Fantasy is the best Vegas Show😎Walking from Excalibur to Luxor to Mandalay Bay is just fun.Greets from germany
GoKnightsGo🏒
Go Knights Go! Thanks for watching.
Great walkthrough! I’ll be staying there this weekend for the first time. Never been to Vegas so I’m super excited 😆
Have a great trip!
Thanks for the tour! It has been 14 years since I was last there, but my brother and I stayed in Las Vegas for eight nights, and we walked everywhere, except downtown. The Luxor is a unique property, in fact, it is a landmark. I worked for a large steel fabricator, and although we did not do this building, I can really appreciate the design of the building. Thank you for taking a trip into the stairwell. The pyramid design was no doubt expensive to build, and for that reason, I am sure it won't be torn down unless it has major structural problems (which would be highly unlikely). Whenever I see unique designs, I cannot help but think about the people that actually built this hotel and casino. I admire them 110% !!
By the way, the 'back lobby' looks very familiar to me with its low ceiling. Was the wedding chapel just up the escalators from this lobby?
Another awesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐video, Shawn!
love the Luxor hotel, we have stayed there a few times, regards Helen from Sydney Australia
Good video bro !! I remember. Day one when it opened !! I was waiting for MGM to open I had just got hired so day one my wife and I were there !!! Nothing is as cool as day one at something that big !! It was unbelievable !!! The sights, and smells , still embedded in memory !!!
1993 was an amazing year because 3 mega-resorts all opened within a couple of months of each other and they were all exciting. Luxor had its boat ride and pyramid theme, TI had its pirate battle and a really cool arcade/midway and MGM Grand had a giant midway and amusement park. One thing I have thought about lately is how few and far between the casino openings have been. In those days you got to experience a new casino every year or couple of years. Now it has been a decade. Can't wait for Circa and Resorts World next year.
Love the Luxor. Beautiful architecture and always a fun place to visit. Relaxing swimming pool with fantastic hosts
It really is!
Went 2 times in Vegas, in 2007 and 2009. We stayed at the luxor the first time and new York New York the second. I loved our stay in luxor and the pool area is great, I remember a fun thing during our stay, it was a violent monsoon storm during our first night and it was literally raining in the room we called the lobby and they difficulty believed us. But the next morning one guy of the service came check the room and hardly believed it but the floor was damped. So they changed us to a better room without any charge and gave my money back for the convenience. It was a nice stay.
Cheers from France
Haha yikes! They really did build that building on the cheap. Leaky windows huh? Doesn't surprise me! The Adventuredome (same company and timeframe) has leaked pretty much since it was built.
Your video style reminds of Retail Archeology, and your vocal style reminds of Mr. Mobile.
I definitely think you should do a collaboration with Retail Archeology. He lives in AZ, and regularly goes to LV.
Good work!
Thanks! I’ll check the out!
Love his channel too! Resistance is futile. 🖖🏼
Ah, luxor, stay in a room in the pyramid and you will hit your head on the slanted glass trying to look down outside. It's really cool standing on the hallway room balconys looking down with nothing below you. Have been going there since it first opened, my best friend's dad worked on the huge light on the top that could be seen from space. The pyramid had lots of plumbing problems and the foundation started to sink on one side, they ran cables along the side while repairing the foundation. It's a cool unique place to go with a great arcade game room for those who don't want to loose all their money in the casino. It connects to excaliber, but it always seemed cheap over there.
Haha those windows are strange to get used to. I hope they can fix the issues the building has without tearing it out. I also agree the atrium is amazing! Thanks for watching.
Excellent video. I didn't think I'd watch as 17min seems alot for my attention span, but you had me interested the whole video. Thank you, I miss Vegas. Hope when feeling safer to return. New subscriber
Thanks Mindy. I’m so glad you enjoyed the whole thing!
Enjoyed the video. Yes, Luxor has seen better days when it was more themed. I also keep hearing rumors of Excalibur going away. Last few times I went, it didn't seem like they were really investing into it anymore.
Sadly it seems neither Luxor nor Excalibur get a lot of money or love these days.
Excellent v-log. There are other bloggers that seem to have a lot of subscribers they don't come close to your quality videos. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the kind words! Deeply appreciated. 🙏🙏
vegas is one of my favorite places to travel to and I have stayed at the luxor at least 2 times and I soooo enjoyed it I love the theme of the luxor and the decor is such a spectacular visual on the strip.
Thanks for watching!
1966 (my first visit) to now. I have witnessed the extravagant, decadent rise of Las Vegas during the peak of American wealth and power. Pray that it lasts a little longer. Like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and many others, it shall decline and be a spectacle to the world.
Indeed it has changed so much. Let's hope Las Vegas stays relevant for decades to come, but I suppose decline is always inevitable.
It's amazing the access that you have. Most Vegas bloggers I have been getting shut down by security. These videos are great
Glad you like them!
This is the first hotel we stayed in, when we first visited Vegas in 2001, so it holds a special place in my heart ❤. Madeline in Nottingham
Thanks for watching Madeline! I know it's special for a lot of people. Let's hope it stick around for many years to come.
It was my first hotel in 06...A lot has changed since those days.
Luxor is so beautiful. I did not know that before. Thank you for showing us.
Thanks for watching!
Great video / one rime when we stayed here we waited for our shuttle in that VIP area down stairs / they have a fountain in that area which is nice and still there / also do you remember the talking camels that used to be upstairs by the Luxor gift shops ?
I don’t remember the camels but there is so much theming that is now gone. It’s almost crazy to watch this video and then watch a video from 1993-1994.
I stayed there shortly after it opened. I loved the reconstruction of Tut's tomb. Also the Nile river inside was quite unique. Definitely needs sprucing up now but one more unique thing in Vegas that will probably disappear. Thanks for the vlog.
King Tut's tomb lives!!!!
It's in the Vegas Natural history museum on north Las Vegas Blvd.
I didn’t know that! That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! So much lost but a lot still there. I miss the Nile River boat ride.
@@Milestomemories When MGM decided to dump Tut's Tomb they gave it to the Vegas Natural History Museum. No doubt with a significant tax write off.
I always wonder what happened to all the pirate art work from the Treasure Island when MGM sanitized it.
Thanks for the tour of the Luxor. I've been there many times but have never seen some of the areas you walked through. The atrium reminds me of the Contemporary Resort Hotel in Disney World.
I can definitely see the comparison to Contemporary!
Definitely the most unique hotel on the Strip. Yes, it is showing its age, but well kept, none-the-less, a great property. When it eventually gets demolished, I'm sure the replacement will be even better. Hard to beat, though. Great stuff, thanks for the video !
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I STAYED THERE TWO WEEKS AGO IN THE TOWER KING SUIT AND DID FINALLY GO RIDE THE ELEVATOR ON THE PYRIMID SIDE FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND THE VIEW AND THAT WAS AWESOME BUT I DIDN'T THINK TO WALK THE OUTSIDE AREA AND TO CHECK OUT THE POOL🤦🤷... THANKS TO YOU, I WILL ON MY OCTOBER VISIT! I USUALLY STAY AT THE WYNN AND COSMO BUT I WILL SAY I DEFINITELY LOVED THE LUXOR MORE THEN THE COSMO, THE WYNN IS JUST MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE BUT THE LUXOR IS ALSO A FUN AND GREAT PLACE FOR ME!! THANKS AGAIN, JUST SUBBED😊
Thanks Olga! Yeah Luxor is a different experience compared to Wynn or Cosmo, but it definitely has a place and a much better price! Enjoy your trip in October!
My sister and I have been to Las Vegas, a few times now, and we have never been over to the Luxor, but you can bet on next years run "God willing" we will take the time to make a trip over to this gorgeous hotel, never knew Luxor was that beautiful, cant wait...... stay safe Vegas see you in a little more than 365 days and counting..... Windsor, ON Canada p.s. thank you for a view
Thanks Pamela!
i love the luxor. was the first hotel i ever stayed at in Vegas. great ambiance. truly unique
Definitely a unique place and one that needs to stick around! Thanks Tony.
Mobility Scooters have become a nuisance on the strip due to its "coolness" and lazy factor among the ABLE young people using them
Admittedly I'm not a fan.
Great video. And even though I've been to Vegas many many times, I learned a lot. Thank you.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
Great informative video I love vegas, if they demolish this property the vegas strip wont ever be the same, its a beautiful iconic building that no other has on the strip..
I agree!
Love the Luxsur the bar staff dave and Mike look after you and make your stay 10-10 👍
I use to stay here alot in the late 90s but now its just worn out to far from the action. Can't wait to see if its gets the ax or Planet Hollywood?
Who knows. I think Planet Hollywood will reopen, but rumor is they want to sell it. Considering Miracle Mile is open I find it odd that they would keep it closed, unless something big is going to happen.
Take my kids to the Luxor buffet every time we visit Vegas. It's magical and has great food.
I haven't eaten there in many years! Thanks for sharing that info!
I love all the gauldiness of Vegas. I enjoyed the luxor on my 1st visit there and as I walked thru the others the themes were amazing. The new ones look like hi-tech sports bars and I'm not into sports or gambling but I do like to see all the decor so bring that back please.
Great Video. I love your channel and I have subscribed.
Thanks so much!
I rode on the boat ride, at the end the boat went through a replica of Tu Tut Comoon's tomb. It was pretty cool. Saw the body exhibition there too.
The structure is interesting and one of the better themes, but i assume the design is not the most efficient use of space with the pyramid, which makes it a good candidate to replace.
Yeah good point. Definitely not the best use of space, but that makes it so unique too.
Went there maybe in '95 or 96 and loved the boat ride under and was very well done. Went back years later and asked where is it? They said it was gone. Said that is a shame, it was very good. Guy said we hear that all the time.
Yeah the boat ride was unique, but expensive to run I imagine. It certainly added something to the property that is now missing, but the days of that type of attraction in Vegas are firmly in the rear view mirror unfortunately.
I like staying at the Luxor in the cooler months. The issue with Pyramid rooms is that you MUST keep the window shades closed 24/7 during the hot months. Even then the A/C cannot keep the rooms cool enough.
Oh wow I hadn't heard that. I have heard of defects in the building so that isn't a huge surprise.
I stayed there 3 or 4 summers ago when the temp was higher than average. Not sure if that was the reason or not but my room never cooled off. Others in my group had the same issues.
Ugh that's the worst! I had never heard that about Luxor, but it doesn't surprise me given the age. I remember even a couple of years ago the internet was hard wired and so slow. Thankfully they finally did away with that! :)
The pyramid rooms are rough.I like starting at Mandalay bay and walking through the luxor and Excalibur . Can't wait to get back to Vegas
I love the rooms at Mandalay Bay. Pretty big and very nice bathrooms. Delano is even better. Definitely a step up over Luxor!
I stayed there August 12-17, and plan to return during Thanksgiving weekend. It was great, not too crowded, and my favorite part : they have the classic "Alien" Slot Machine there in the big cabinet format! ^_^ The only other place I saw one on the Strip was New York New York, but they only have it in the High Limit Slots section..
Interesting! I used to always love those "Big Bertha" slots back in the day. Something fun about playing an oversized machine.
I'm staying at the Luxor next week for 5 nights! I haven't been there since 2003 so it's definitely been a while.. I'm excited but will also keep safe while I'm there.
Have fun Al! Thanks for watching.
I went on the boat ride, watched the 3D show about the mystery of the Pyramid, walked through the Tuthakaham tour, saw Blue Man Group, and loved their big video game arcade back then. How times have changed..
Why would they tear that place down? It is unique and should not be torn down!
I agree!
Fantastic vlog... just subscribed.... love the detail you put into the walkthrough.. i will be watching all of them as us brits cant get over to that great city at the moment... but we will be back 🇬🇧
Thanks Simon! So glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful design so unique
I agree!
Great video..the best ive seen on my favorite Las Vegas hotel..have stayed there 12 times in the last 5 years..would be so sad to see it go, hopefully only rumors..
Thanks again!
Oh and the sideways elevators are called "inclinators"
Yes they are! I couldn't think of the word when doing the commentary. 😂 Thanks for watching!
Wow!😳 those stairways look more like a construction site!
Always stay in Luxor but have missed loads so glad I watched your video. Can anyone access the stairs as I hate elevators?
Yes I believe so, but technically I think they are supposed to be for emergency use only. Not 100% sure, but you can access them from any hotel floor.
Very cool I liked the up close view of the pyramid base. I wonder what level the hotel rooms start at.
Good question. I have no idea but I think pretty low based on seeing it on the inside
Luxor, the bloom is definitely off the rose.
Perhaps, but I think it could be made fresh again.
Thanks for a very interesting video. It brings back great memories of this amazing property.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent vlog sir... Be a sad day if the luxor goes... 1st went to vegas in 2013, walked into luxor my jaw hit the floor, so unique... New subscriber, always a place for the themed resorts... All the best going forward.....
Thanks Thomas! I agree it's so over the top and unique. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Just discovered your channel.....love it!!! Thanks for the great informative videos!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks Mario!
They seem to have done a good job at renovating I doubt they would abandon it, unless the economy completely tanks. Any health food options there?
Not really, but I think there are some healthy options in the Mandalay Place Mall that connects Luxor to Mandalay Bay and MB has tons of dining options as well. That's one of the great perks of being in Luxor. It's so close to Mandalay Bay that all of the great dining over there is within walking distance.
Loved this video. I stayed at the Luxor in April of 2018. The sideways elevators gave me a little anxiety, but I definitely enjoyed my visit.
Thanks Brent! The inclinators are fun but definitely a different experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Luxor has a few ways to access the pools, the way we access the pool is via a hallway on the way to the Tower elevators near the spa. if you went to the right of the moving walkway at 12:35 and head towards the tower elevators you would pass the pool entrance we used
Thanks for the info and for watching!
@@Milestomemories 41 minutes in here shows the way we get to the pool...........I have been to Luxor so many times and we always stay in the tower but wasn't sure how to explain it............ruclips.net/video/wLoaqzqgTs0/видео.html
Fascinating, well done.
i miss so mutch las vegas and Luxor and the beautiful people 🥺
I hope you get to return soon!
The Luxor's pyramid is an iconic piece of the Vegas skyline. I hope it isn't torn down. Right now, I would venture to say EVERY resort in Vegas is going through some tough times. I believe Vegas, and the Luxor can and will rebound but it's gonna take some time.
I hope so! It's definitely going to take time, but hopefully Luxor lives on. I think it will. Thanks for watching!
I was there when the Luxor opened. They can't tear it down this soon, it's still an amazing structure. I have never seen a corner room or the top suites. Can you get access to them for a video? I really liked the "secrets of the pyramid" ride. The "Nile river cruise" was kinda fun. Also, the 15th floor is still the best vertigo view.
I’ll have to consider the suite for a future video and head up to the 15th floor as well!
We were just there this past weekend, and it was horrible. We booked a pyramid room and moved us to a tower room a supposed upgrade. I swear the room was smaller than what we had booked. Had to ask several times for extra glasses and towels as there was five of us. No blankets on the beds just a couple sheets. Avoid trying to get to your room between 3 and 6 the lines are like standing in line at Disneyland long. Also avoid trying to get down to the casino from 930am to 11am we waited twenty minutes for a free elevator as we were on the 3rd floor. The pool was fine but don't plan on getting a drink as they are using waitresses and it took about 45 minutes to an hour after we were able to order to get our one drink. We were very disappointed as we have stayed here before and have loved it. Sadly don't think we will be staying here again.
Yikes. Sounds terrible. 😔
The Hyatt Regency Embarcadero in SF is very simular. Great video!
Thanks! I love the location of the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco! There are a lot of Hyatts that were built in the 1970s with similar (albeit smaller) atriums.
@@Milestomemories YES!! I had my high school Prom at the one in SF...Great Memories!
Years ago, the last time I was there, the chips had graphics on them like the stonework.
Great video! Always love going in Luxor.
Thanks Kevin!
wife and i stayed there about two years ago around this same time in august. Its sad to see! its so lonely empty. It was so busy and packed when we were there
Hopefully the crowds will be back. I know it’s already starting to get a bit busier on certain days!
Great video on Luxor! I visited there two months after it opened in December 1993 with my grandfather and brother. It was really an amazing place at the time. I do have some footage of that in a vlog episode that I did on my channel. Thanks for this!
Thanks for watching Matt! I'll definitely check it out. I love retro footage and there was so much at Luxor to see that isn't around anymore.
I've been curious how they redesigned the main floor area after the removal of the boat ride. I remember you had to take the boat ride, because THAT was the entrance to the hotel.
I don't remember 100%, but some of the areas were just boarded up or built over while others were torn out and redone. This is a point of view video that helps to give a better perspective of how it went around. ruclips.net/video/iiuijUuwvFA/видео.html&feature=emb_title
Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated. A+
Glad you enjoyed it!
Luxor pyramid is the FIRST thing i see driving in from California on that long desert stretch. Especially at nite. Very iconic for me. Please don't tear it down.
