This 2-Bedroom Suite at Luxor Las Vegas is a *STEAL*

Key Points:

• Luxor’s Tower Elite 2-Bedroom Suite starts at around $250/nt and has 1,650 square feet.

• Renovated last in 2018, this suite’s condition surprised me to the upside. It’s solid.

• Aspects of the suite were dated & “out of style”, but this is still a great deal.

My brother and I wanted a room that we could both stay in, and even host a small group to watch basketball games we bet way too much on.

I stumbled across a 2-bedroom suite at Luxor that seemed too cheap to be true and hopped on it.

Our Tower Elite 2-Bedroom Suite was the definition of a mixed bag. Aspects of it were modern. Others dated. Egyptian-themed decor was sprinkled in, as was a frick-ton of emerald green.  

While not a “jaw dropper” by any stretch of the imagination, this suite is a solid value and could be an option for folks who want more space at a price that doesn’t make you want to puke.

Room, Cost, and Check-In

I paid $279.42 after taxes and fees for the suite, a slightly discounted rate thanks to my play in the MGM Rewards loyalty program.  

Without a loyalty relationship, the suite starts at around $250/nt mid-week after fees.  

I wanted to experience Luxor’s tower specifically, as my recent room in Luxor’s pyramid, while dirt cheap, was pretty rough around the edges, and a friend told me the tower is a step up. 

I noticed a message in my MGM Rewards account that I’d need to stop at the front desk to check in on this occasion, even though mobile check-in is usually the way to go at MGM Properties. 

I swung by at 9:30 am, and they hooked me up with a suite on the spot, which was appreciated. 

Although I wasn’t able to do so this time, take advantage of mobile check-in at MGM properties via their phone app.

While not guaranteed, I usually receive my room assignment and digital keys well before the standard check-in time, and you can skip the front desk entirely. 

The Tower Elite 2-Bedroom Suite

On the way to the suite, the casino level elevator lobby, the elevator itself, and the hotel hallways all felt a bit nicer than those in Luxor’s Pyramid, where rooms tend to be a bit cheaper.

Hints that this’ll be a slightly elevated experience.

The Tower Elite 2-Bedroom Suite we booked is a combination of a Tower Elite 1-Bedroom Suite and an adjoining Tower Premier King room tacked onto the end.  

That was a lot of “Tower Elites” in one sentence, but I think it’s important to highlight that these are separately bookable room types on their own.

In total, the 2 BR suite offered a whoppin’ 1,650 square feet of space.

The bedrooms, each with its own dedicated bathroom, served as bookends, with a living area, dining room, & wet bar sandwiched between them.  

Let’s start the analysis in the adjoining “Tower Premier” room, which was basic but solid for a budget property. 

I thought the padded headboard illuminated from above, the mirrors on either side of it, the light fixtures, and even the wall art felt modern, even if the art had a stock photo or “Ikea purchased” vibe to it.  

The carpet was in great shape, and the green chairs near the window acted as a stylish accent. 

Unlike cheaper rooms I’ve had in Luxor’s Pyramid, the TV had a modern guide, and the picture was refreshingly crisp.  

The adjoining room’s bathroom was also “up to par” with a stone-topped single sink vanity, a bathtub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a toilet… that, according to a friend who stopped by, “Could flush a bowling ball”.

No clogging issues here. 

Keep in mind, this room is bookable on its own as a “Tower Premier King Room,” with rates starting at around $75/nt after fees, and it’s one of the higher-quality budget rooms I’ve come across in Vegas.  

One room over, the living area’s TV was surrounded by seating for 6, although the space was a bit cramped, and the chairs had to be rearranged to face the TV.  

The furniture was in good shape, and I thought it was fashionable, although the comfort level was a bit firm.  

While the adjoining room we just came from had a tiny work desk, you’ll likely want to belly up to this one, which offers a bit more space, charging, and even an internet hookup.  

A few steps away is the wetbar and dining room, which had a glass-topped table and a 2-seat bar top… Although I think they missed an opportunity by not mounting a TV behind the bar.

While much of our sprawling suite felt modern, the abundance of emerald green here and in the 2nd bathroom we have yet to discuss felt suuuuper dated, mismatched with the rest of the room, and like it would be a better fit for MGM Grand back in its Wizard of Oz days.  

The wet bar area also had an empty mini fridge, a coffee machine with complimentary coffee, and an atrocious sink set into an emerald-green countertop below a mirror with Egyptian hieroglyphs.  

In addition to the hieroglyphs, there was also an Egyptian-themed crown molding suite-wide. Aside from that, though, there wasn’t much theming to speak of, disappointingly.

Stepping into the second, main bedroom was like stepping out of the Emerald City and into another fashionable budget hotel room with unique decor and stylish furnishings.

The only thing I detested here was the TV angle to the bed, although it could swivel outward. 

Heading into that second bathroom, however, was like an Oz re-entry sequence… A LOT of emerald green, and even more mirrors.

What’s Not To Like

When I review hotels, I share the whole story, not just the good, so that you can make a more informed decision.

In a room this size (and price point), there are bound to be a few imperfections, which included:  

A few nasty Caulk lines.

A cracked toilet cover and a seat that wouldn’t stay up, painfully interrupted my brother’s stream. 

And a few splats & scuffs on the walls in addition to a greasy handprint, although I expected more to be honest.

Although the toilets had thrust similar to a jet engine, one of the showers could only muster a trickle of water.  

The weirdest item was this rag shoved into a vent in one of the bathrooms… I’m at a loss.

Is it a smoking in the room thing?

Luxor Resort Experience

Dining Options

There are plenty of dining options at Luxor, ranging from a food court to their Tender Steakhouse.  

On this occasion, we stopped into the Pyramid Cafe, an affordable option that’s become a go-to of mine, even if I’m not staying at the resort.

I enjoyed my $21 burger and fries while Ike hopped on a ham-and-cheese omelet that set him back $20.  

I should also mention that I REALLY enjoyed the $25 Philly Cheesesteak at Public House while sweating an NFL bet during my last stay at Luxor this past fall.

In addition to restaurants at Luxor, you have easy access to both Mandalay Bay to the south and Excalibur to the north via a free tram that runs in front of the resorts or via the indoor walkways that connect them, which I prefer. It’s more direct.   

The Pool

Luxor’s pool is massive, covering over 125,000 square feet, and is one of the more unique-looking pool scenes, considering it’s in the shadow of the resort’s pyramid.  

While not the fanciest in town, it’s no slouch.  

Things To Do

Attractions & Things to do at Luxor are some of the more unique in town, starting with Play Playground, which is home to 20 carnival-style games that are competitive, intuitive, and a LOT of fun.  

Admission starts at $37 and includes enough credit to play 12 games.    

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is home to over 250 artifacts recovered from the seafloor. I’ve personally done this 4 times now. It’s amazing.  

Bodies, another museum attraction, uses 13 whole body, and 260 partial body specimens to explain the inner workings of the human body.  

Discovering King Tut’s Tomb tells the story of Howard Carter’s discovery of Tut’s final resting place. It’s a good-looking attraction, and you’re going to learn a lot, but I remain underwhelmed by the absence of any real artifacts.  

Everything displayed is a replica. This is awesome if you like fake museums.

(That was mean. But I stand by it.)

The HyperX Esports Arena is a 30,000-square-foot gaming venue that features a 50-foot video wall as its centerpiece.  

They host gaming tournaments listed on their calendar of events, and you can also purchase gaming passes ranging from 1 to 24 hours.  

In addition to things to do, Luxor also hosts several shows, including Carrot Top, the iconic Blue Man Group, and Fantasy, a burlesque show that’s been running since 1999. 

The Casino

Luxor’s gaming floor is home to over 1,100 slot games and was dealing $10 6:5 Blackjack, $15 Craps, and $15 Roulette.  

And while the sportsbook isn’t the most impressive in town, it gets the job done.  

Verdict on Luxor’s Tower Elite 2-Bedroom Suite

This certainly isn’t the nicest or most luxurious suite out there, and if I’m being frank, the room felt disjointed – An amalgamation of different eras & decor strategies.  

Parts of it felt fresh. Modern… Others dated.  

The color scheme was just bizarre and inconsistent throughout too… That emerald green has GOT to go.  

That said, this is a solid suite for the price. Under $300 for 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a dining room with a wet bar, a separate living area, and 3 TVs is tough to beat. 

And while the room had its dings and imperfections, I thought the suite and the furnishings within it were of high quality for the price, considering Luxor is a lower tier property.  

This is one of the better suite values on the Strip.
