Luxor has a massive casino (even by Vegas standards) so it's easy to get turned around. head to the Starbucks located near the hotel lobby. So if you need a java infusion in the a.m. Want a cup of coffee in the morning? The Luxor, like many Las Vegas hotels, has eliminated coffee pots in their standard rooms. Save yourself some money and smoke in designated areas like the casino. Guests who smoke in any room will have to pay a $300 cleaning fee upon checkout. Keep in mind: All of the rooms are non-smoking. Rooms on higher floors have a great view and also less noise. Pyramid rooms also open directly onto hallways that overlook the pyramid's atrium.

Good to know: The pyramid rooms have the added bonus that you get to ride an inclinator (a 39-degree angled elevator) to your room. Insider tips: Enclosed, and more importantly, air-conditioned corridors connect the Luxor to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur so you'll never need to step outdoors in 100-degree weather.

Luxor has a large pool (and we're not just talking about the massive 125,650-square-foot deck). It won't break your budget, but you won't feel like you're staying in a budget hotel. Luxor routinely offers some of the more affordable hotel rates on the Strip and the property is packed with things to do (the HyperX ESports Arena is our favorite). From the bat-attracting megawatt light on top to the sphinx out front, we love the Egyptian touches - especially now that the kitschy décor has been dialed back from what the resort opened with in 1993.

The vibe: King Tut at the disco, a mid-range themed hotel, family-friendly without being a circus.

It's home to artifacts from the Titanic and a giant sphinx statue. You can't miss Luxor, the giant glass pyramid at the south end of the Strip.
