A few months ago, I went to Las Vegas for a conference. I grew up there, and it was kind of fun to spend a few days there as a tourist! I stayed at the Luxor.

My room
I loved the pyramid shaped soap in the bathroom!
Hotel lobby
Looking down at the mezzanine level from the 14th floor where my room was
I went to Vegas expecting everything I own to come back smelling like cigarette smoke, because that's what I remember from the few times I went into a casino as a kid. It's been about 15 years since I graduated from high school and moved away, and I guess in that time they figured out a more effective way of filtering the smoke. None of my stuff smelled bad at all, which was definitely a pleasant surprise.
My room was spacious and clean, and the bed was decent. My biggest complaint was the pillows. They were too thick and firm for me (I like to sleep on my stomach and need smaller pillows so my neck isn't bent backwards when I lay down). As a result, I did not sleep well there at all. I didn't ask for something different though, so I'm not sure if they would have had an alternative. Since I didn't give them a chance to help, I'll just say it wasn't my personal preference and leave it at that.
Complaint #2 is an odd one to me. I hated the shower, and this one wasn't just personal taste. The shower head sprayed the water out so hard that it hurt when it hit my skin, and there was no way to change it. It was also really low on the wall, and I had to bend my knees and lean backwards to get the top of my head wet. I'm 5'7", so it was very strange. Definitely something to think about if you're tall and/or interested in getting your whole body wet in the shower.
Other than that, I was happy at the Luxor. I specifically booked my room there because the conference was next door at Mandalay Bay which was sold out, so as far as location goes, it was good for my needs. If you're looking for luxury, this probably isn't the best choice, but if you want an inexpensive option close to the Vegas action, the Luxor could be something to consider. Check around though. There are always hotel deals to be found in Vegas!
