Any feedback on this from anyone thats stayed there??

I stayed there one night.

The room was good - but we only spent a few hours in it. Got in late - went to a few casino's, walked the strip, had a few beers and then gambled some more.

We went to a motel for 2 nights afterwards (could only get 1 night in the Luxor because a Nascar race was on - and it was fullet of Mullets). But tbh the motel was grand for the amoutn of time we spent in it.

If you have some free time while in Vegas - go see The Hoover Dam - class!

Wouldnt recommend it.

It has a pyramid structure for one section of it which would give you vertigo.
Imagine going back to your room drunk,and having to go around a long narrow coridoor with a sheer 300ft sheer drop or more.
The windows do not open and are angled towards the sky, so the rooms get very hot.The air con is useless.

To be honest I felt dizzy up there as did other people that I knew.

There is an ordinary high rise part to the hotel though separate to the pyramid structure so if you are staying there,You might be better off-you can ask to be changed.

I stayed there a couple of years ago and vertigo wasn't an issue, even though I'm not great with heights. The corridors around the central section are wide, and the wall around it is quite high, so unless you lean over it you shouldn't have any problems. Besides, a lot of hotels have this sort of design now.

More of an issue is where you are in relation to the lifts. The lifts are in the corners, but each one only services maybe 7 or 8 floors. There were four of us and we decided to splash out on corner jacuzzi suites, but on the two floors we had the rooms the lifts were diagonally opposite us. It was a long walk back to the room if you remembered you left something behind when you got to the lift. Obviously because the building tapers, the walk is shorter the higher you go.

The rooms we had were very big (not sure how big the standard rooms are), but while they were very well presented they're actually fairly basic. I've heard this is fairly common on Vegas as they don't want you in your room when you could be gambling. We didn't have the problems with AC that the previous poster did. If I was going back to Vegas I'd have no problem saying there again.

I was also in a jacussi suite.I guess the biggest problem I had with the place was no fres air and the Air con would be in trouble when the temps were in the 90's outside with the sun beaming all day into the angled windows.

Also, when on a high floor,its not pleasant if you are drunk,given a long corridoor walk.I'm quite tall aswell so there was no avoiding looking down to that sheer drop unless I hugged the room doors/inner wall as I walked along.

I dont get vertigo, but I found it very dizzying up there.

Handy for the hotel though as you say, it encouraged you to go down and gamble.
