The Luxor's huge laser beam emitting pyramid is one of the first things you'll see from the plane -- very impressive. But be content to gawk from afar. It's not that great of a place to stay. I've been there twice and both times the beds were incredibly uncomfortable. I've stayed on firmer mattresses at Motel 6. Also, the lines were very long in the check in area. It seems like they could have done a lot to speed things up (neither time was on a holiday weekend, btw). If you do stay there, resist the temptation to get a room in the pyramid. The layout is confusing and it takes forever to get to your room. The drawback of the towers is for some part of the appeal. It's close to the pool and can be loud if you're on one of the lower floors.
