Vegas Hotel Guide
Nightlife Near Luxor
The Luxor is the black glass pyramid at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, and it is one of the best budget bases for nightlife in Vegas. There is no nightclub inside the Luxor itself, but the property connects to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur through indoor walkways and a free tram, which means Hakkasan at MGM Grand is reachable in about 5 minutes without ever stepping outside. Rooms regularly dip below $80/night, and the $35 resort fee is one of the lowest on the Strip. The math is simple: save on the hotel, spend at the clubs.
No On-Property Nightclub — And That Is Fine
Luxor's previous nightlife venues have closed, and the hotel does not currently operate a nightclub or dayclub. What it does have is location. The south-Strip corridor connects Luxor to Mandalay Bay (3 min walk south) and Excalibur (3 min walk north) via enclosed, air-conditioned walkways. From Excalibur, you can cross a pedestrian bridge to New York-New York and continue toward the center Strip. This indoor network is a genuine advantage during summer when outdoor temperatures exceed 110 degrees.
The rooftop pool at Luxor is available to hotel guests and offers Strip views with a more relaxed, non-dayclub atmosphere. It is not a party pool, but it is a solid spot for daytime recovery.
Walking Distance Nightlife
The Luxor sits in a sweet spot: south enough for budget pricing, close enough to walk to several major venues.
| Venue | Distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tailgate Beach Club | 5 min ride | Across from Allegiant Stadium |
| Hakkasan at MGM Grand | 5 min walk | North via Excalibur corridor |
| Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand | 5 min walk | North via Excalibur corridor |
| On The Record at Park MGM | 8 min walk | Indoor via The PARK |
| Marquee at Cosmopolitan | 12 min walk or 5 min ride | Rideshare recommended |
| OMNIA at Caesars Palace | 15 min walk or 7 min ride | Rideshare recommended |
| Skyfall Lounge at Delano (Mandalay Bay resort) | 3 min tram | 64th floor, no cover |
The Hakkasan route is the one to memorize: walk north through Luxor, cross through Excalibur, and you arrive at MGM Grand's nightclub entrance. The entire path is indoors. Hakkasan is the top-grossing nightclub in Vegas, open Wednesday through Saturday, with world-class DJs in a five-level, 80,000-square-foot venue.
The South Strip Indoor Corridor System
The most important thing to understand about staying at the Luxor is the MGM Resorts indoor corridor. Unlike the scattered, disconnected hotel landscape you find in the center Strip, the southern end of Las Vegas has six casino properties linked by enclosed walkways and a free automated tram: Mandalay Bay, Mandalay Place Shopping, Luxor, Excalibur, and then a pedestrian bridge connection to New York-New York. From New York-New York, you can walk across to The PARK outdoor entertainment district, which connects to Park MGM and to MGM Grand casino on the opposite side.
The tram runs continuously from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur and costs nothing. During summer months when outdoor temperatures regularly exceed 110 degrees, this corridor is not just a convenience — it is the only way to move between south Strip properties without risking heat exhaustion during a night out. The entire circuit from Mandalay Bay to MGM Grand can be completed on foot in about 15 minutes without ever stepping outside.
What this means practically: when you book a room at Luxor below $80 per night and use the indoor corridor to reach Hakkasan at MGM Grand, you are getting the same nightclub access as someone paying $220 per night to stay at the Grand itself. The distance is five minutes of indoor walking. You never leave air conditioning.
The tram station inside Luxor is located near the main casino floor and requires no ticket or hotel key card to board — it is open to all casino visitors. The tram runs approximately every 5 minutes during peak evening hours. For late nights returning from Hakkasan, the corridor stays lit and staffed by MGM Resorts security throughout the night.
Hakkasan at MGM Grand: The Primary Destination
Hakkasan at MGM Grand is the world's top-grossing nightclub and the natural destination for anyone staying in the south Strip corridor. The 80,000-square-foot venue occupies five levels of MGM Grand, each operating as a distinct space with its own atmosphere and music format. The main floor runs major EDM headliners Thursday through Saturday. The Ling Ling Room on the second level handles hip-hop and R&B programming. The Roof Garden offers an outdoor terrace experience. The Bamboo Room provides a more intimate DJ booth setting with lounge seating. The Sound Room on the lowest level operates as an underground club-within-the-club for deep house and electronic sets.
The main stage production — with a 250,000-watt sound system and custom LED ceiling — is the largest single-nightclub production in Las Vegas history. When a major headliner is performing at Hakkasan on a Friday or Saturday, the production value exceeds what most major concert venues can deliver at close range. The difference between watching the same DJ at a festival with 20,000 people and watching them at Hakkasan with 3,000 is the proximity.
Hakkasan is open Wednesday through Saturday. Wednesday is R&Bae night anchored by resident DJ Franzen — the most consistent dedicated hip-hop and R&B programming on the south Strip during the week. Thursday through Saturday bring major international headliner bookings, with Friday and Saturday commanding the highest-profile acts of the week. The guest list works on any night — sign up through NoCoverVegas before midnight, arrive before the cutoff window, and walk in free regardless of who is performing.
The corridor route from Luxor: exit north from the Luxor hotel casino floor into the air-conditioned indoor walkway connecting to Excalibur. Walk through Excalibur's casino floor. Continue through the north exit toward the New York-New York/MGM Grand intersection. Turn left and enter MGM Grand from the south side. Hakkasan's entrance is on the casino's southeast corner, roughly five minutes from the Luxor's connecting walkway door.
Palm Tree Beach Club: Daytime Access from Luxor
Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand is the same five-minute indoor walk as Hakkasan, which means Luxor guests have convenient access to one of Las Vegas's most credentialed dayclubs without paying MGM Grand hotel rates. Operated by Tao Group — the same company behind Tao Nightclub at The Venetian and Marquee at the Cosmopolitan — Palm Tree Beach Club runs Friday through Sunday with full DJ programming, bottle service, and a VIP section network across the pool deck.
The dayclub experience at Palm Tree Beach Club starts around noon and runs through 6 PM, with peak energy building from 2 PM to 5 PM. A free guest list is available through NoCoverVegas for the dayclub — sign up in advance and receive a confirmation on the morning of your visit. The same indoor corridor route that gets you to Hakkasan at night gets you to Palm Tree Beach Club during the day: walk north from Luxor through Excalibur, enter MGM Grand, follow the resort signs to the pool complex.
The advantage of Luxor proximity for Palm Tree Beach Club is most significant on summer days. Walking the air-conditioned corridor to the pool rather than standing in a rideshare line or waiting for valet in 110-degree heat is a material quality-of-life improvement.
Tailgate Beach Club: The Stadium District Option
Tailgate Beach Club is one of Las Vegas's most distinctive dayclubs and is approximately a five-minute rideshare from Luxor — uniquely positioned across from Allegiant Stadium rather than on the Strip. The venue runs three heated pools, a full live sports viewing setup with oversized screens, and DJ programming Friday through Sunday during season. The sports-and-dayclub hybrid format draws a different crowd than EBC or Palm Tree Beach Club: more groups, more game-day energy, more casual dress code compared to the fashion-forward expectations at Wynn's pool deck.
For Luxor guests, Tailgate Beach Club is the best dayclub option when Allegiant Stadium is hosting an event that weekend — Raiders games, boxing cards, and major concerts at the stadium create a pre-and-post-event atmosphere at Tailgate that no other dayclub can replicate. The proximity to Allegiant Stadium means Tailgate is the natural gathering point for groups combining a nightlife trip with a sporting event.
The three heated pools stay warm through the off-season months when outdoor pools at the Strip dayclubs are too cold to use. During October through March, Tailgate Beach Club is frequently the only dayclub operating at full capacity while competitors are closed for the season. From a Luxor base, the five-minute rideshare to Tailgate is the shortest route to an operational heated outdoor pool in the south Strip area.
Practical logistics: Rideshare drop-off is directly in front of the venue entrance on Hacienda Avenue. Return pickup is the same location. Free guest list admission is available through NoCoverVegas on weekday visits; weekend visits depend on event tier. Groups combining a Raiders game with a Tailgate visit should book daybeds in advance — game-day weekends sell out.
New York-New York and The PARK Entertainment District
From Excalibur, a pedestrian bridge connects directly to New York-New York hotel and casino. New York-New York offers several nightlife options in its own right: Rok Vegas is the hotel's rooftop bar with elevated views of The PARK and MGM Grand Arena; Nine Fine Irishmen is a full-service Irish pub with live music every night beginning at 8 PM; the Arcade Bar handles the nostalgia crowd with classic arcade gaming and cocktails. None of these are nightclubs in the traditional sense, but they are strong pre-game stops before heading to Hakkasan or On The Record.
The PARK is the outdoor pedestrian entertainment district situated between New York-New York, Park MGM, and the T-Mobile Arena. On nights when there is a concert or boxing event at T-Mobile Arena or the MGM Grand Garden, The PARK fills with event crowds and creates an outdoor festival atmosphere that rivals any Strip entertainment district. The PARK contains restaurant tenants including Sake Rok — a Japanese restaurant with party entertainment programming including live performers — and Shake Shack. On quiet nights, The PARK provides an alfresco bar option between Excalibur and Park MGM that works as a pre-club stop for groups on their way north from Luxor.
On The Record at Park MGM is approximately 8 minutes on foot from Luxor via The PARK route. The speakeasy concept — with its hidden vinyl record store entrance and three distinct rooms — is open Monday and Thursday through Saturday, making it accessible from a Luxor base on Monday nights when Hakkasan is dark.
Skyfall Lounge at Delano: The 64th-Floor Alternative
Three minutes south of Luxor via the free tram is the Mandalay Bay resort complex, home to Skyfall Lounge at Delano Las Vegas on the 64th floor. Skyfall is the current go-to for elevated Strip views in the south corridor: no cover charge any night of the week, DJs spinning from 9 PM, and floor-to-ceiling windows at a height where the entire Strip reads as a single panorama — Bellagio fountains, the Paris Eiffel Tower replica, and the city grid extending 40 miles to the Spring Mountains.
The route: take the tram south from Luxor to Mandalay Bay station, follow the Mandalay Place shopping arcade toward the Delano tower, and take the dedicated elevator to the 64th floor. The same indoor corridor that gets you to Hakkasan gets you to Skyfall — south rather than north, same no-stepping-outside logic.
A note on Foundation Room: The former 63rd-floor lounge at Mandalay Bay closed in September 2025 after 25 years. It is being reimagined as the Vinyl Room — a Live Nation vinyl-centric membership club — with reopening expected in August 2026. Until then, Skyfall at Delano is the best elevated-views option in this corridor. Combined with Mandalay Bay's restaurant collection — Libertine Social for pre-drinks, Rivea on the 64th floor for elevated French-Italian dinner — you can build a south Strip evening that rivals any center Strip itinerary without leaving the indoor corridor.
Strip Clubs: 5-7 Minute Ride
Crazy Horse III is approximately 5 minutes by ride from Luxor, making it the closest major strip club option. The 50,000-square-foot venue operates 24 hours with six stages and a celebrity-favorite reputation built over 15 years of operation. Larry Flynt's Hustler Club on Dean Martin Drive is about 7 minutes — three floors, 70,000 square feet, and a terrace with Strip views.
Peppermint Hippo holds the distinction of being the only gentlemen's club located directly on the Las Vegas Strip, making it reachable in roughly 5 minutes from Luxor. For groups who want to minimize logistics, Peppermint Hippo's on-Strip location means a rideshare drop-off directly in front of the venue without navigating industrial side streets.
Sapphire Las Vegas, the world's largest gentlemen's club at 71,000 square feet, is accessible from Luxor via free limo in roughly 10 minutes. Sapphire's complimentary round-trip limo pickup — confirmed through the NoCoverVegas guest list — eliminates rideshare coordination entirely for groups heading there. The limo meets you at the Luxor entrance and returns you to the hotel at the end of the evening.
All major strip clubs offer free entry through the NoCoverVegas guest list. The combination of Luxor's south Strip location with the free limo services makes it one of the most logistically convenient hotel bases for groups planning a strip club visit.
Bottle Service Pricing at Nearby Venues
One of the more useful calculations for south Strip guests is comparing bottle service minimums across the venues reachable from Luxor, since the room savings versus center Strip hotels can directly fund a table upgrade:
| Venue | Distance from Luxor | Thursday Min | Friday Min | Saturday Min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hakkasan at MGM Grand | 5 min walk | $600–$1,000 | $1,200–$2,500 | $2,000–$5,000 |
| Palm Tree Beach Club (daybed) | 5 min walk | — | $500–$1,200 | $800–$2,000 |
| On The Record | 8 min walk | $300–$600 | $500–$1,000 | $600–$1,200 |
| Marquee | 12 min / 5 min ride | — | $1,000–$2,500 | $2,000–$4,500 |
| OMNIA | 8 min ride | $800–$1,500 | $1,500–$3,000 | $2,500–$6,000 |
| Zouk | 15 min ride | $500–$1,000 | $800–$1,500 | $1,500–$3,000 |
| XS Nightclub | 15 min ride | — | $1,500–$3,000 | $3,000–$8,000 |
Minimums reflect a standard six-person seated table. Service charge (20–22%) and gratuity are additional. The comparison makes the value proposition clear: a Luxor guest saving $150 per night versus MGM Grand for a three-night stay ($450 total) can allocate that savings to a Hakkasan table on Saturday and still spend less overall than the MGM Grand guest paying rack rate.
Pre-Game Dining
Luxor's dining options are casual and budget-friendly, matching the hotel's price point. Diablo's Cantina serves Mexican food with margaritas and a party atmosphere — decent for groups pre-gaming before a club. For a better pre-club dinner, walk 3 minutes south via tram to Mandalay Bay for Libertine Social or Rivea, or 5 minutes north to MGM Grand for Emeril's or Morimoto.
The Rivea-to-Hakkasan route is strong from a Luxor base: tram to Mandalay Bay, dinner at Rivea on the 64th floor, then walk back north through Luxor and Excalibur to Hakkasan. The entire trip is connected indoors and represents a dining-to-nightclub experience with the best elevation views in the south Strip corridor.
For late-night food after Hakkasan closes, the MGM Grand food court and the 24-hour Wichcraft Burger at the casino floor level are walkable from the same corridor you used to arrive. The Excalibur Roundtable Buffet is another late-night option on the walk back.
The Pricing Advantage: Luxor vs. Center Strip Hotels
The cost argument for booking Luxor as a nightlife base is worth quantifying. On a typical Thursday night in summer, Luxor rooms run $65–85 per night while the same night at MGM Grand runs $180–250, and Caesars Palace or Bellagio run $250–400. The nightclub you end up at on Thursday — Hakkasan, OMNIA, Marquee — charges the same cover charge regardless of where you slept. The corridor walk to Hakkasan from Luxor is five minutes; the elevator ride from MGM Grand is two minutes. The difference in nightclub access is three minutes of time versus $120–200 per night in hotel rate.
Over a three-night Thursday-through-Saturday stay, the Luxor rate differential versus MGM Grand frees up $360–600. At Hakkasan, the gap between standing general admission and a six-person bottle service table is typically $500–800 in minimum spend. The hotel savings effectively pay for your table.
The only genuine trade-off is transportation cost for clubs north of MGM Grand. XS at Wynn Encore is 15 minutes and roughly $20 in rideshare each way. OMNIA at Caesars is 8 minutes and roughly $14 each way. Even accounting for round-trip rideshares on two of your three nights, the transportation cost is $60–70 total — far below the hotel rate savings.
Day of Week Strategy from Luxor
The day of the week changes what is accessible from the south Strip corridor significantly:
| Night | Best Venue from Luxor | Walk or Ride |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Marquee Library, On The Record | Walk via The PARK |
| Tuesday | OMNIA | 7 min ride |
| Wednesday | Hakkasan R&Bae, Drai's | 5 min walk / 8 min ride |
| Thursday | Hakkasan, Marquee, Zouk | Mix of walk and ride |
| Friday | All major venues | Walk Hakkasan; ride for others |
| Saturday | All major venues | Walk Hakkasan; ride for others |
| Sunday | Soleia rooftop dayclub, limited others | 8 min ride |
Wednesday is the best midweek night from a Luxor base because Hakkasan's five-minute corridor walk becomes the core of the evening, and the R&Bae night programming draws a crowd that fills the venue without weekend-level rideshare surge pricing on the return trip.
The Luxor Nightlife Playbook
| Time | Venue | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 12 PM - 5 PM | Palm Tree Beach Club or Tailgate Beach Club | 5 min walk / 5 min ride |
| 6 PM - 8 PM | Skyfall Lounge cocktails at Delano (64th floor) | 3 min tram |
| 8 PM - 9 PM | Diablo's Cantina or Mandalay Bay dinner | On-property or 3 min tram |
| 9:30 PM - 11 PM | Rok Vegas rooftop bar at New York-New York | 5 min walk via corridor |
| 11 PM - 2 AM | Hakkasan at MGM Grand | 5 min walk via corridor |
| 2 AM - 4 AM | Free entry at Crazy Horse III | 5 min ride |
The Luxor strategy is built on the indoor corridor: everything from Mandalay Bay's Skyfall Lounge (64th floor, free) to Hakkasan at MGM Grand is connected through enclosed walkways, and you save $100–200/night compared to staying at those properties directly.
Best for Bachelorette Parties at Luxor
Luxor's primary bachelorette party advantage is budget leverage: rooms under $80 per night versus $200–400 at center Strip luxury hotels create a surplus that funds the actual nightlife experience. The same bachelorette party that stretches a budget at Wynn operates comfortably at Luxor — more bottle service, more venues, no compromise.
The bachelorette arc from Luxor: Palm Tree Beach Club dayclub (5 minutes via indoor corridor, Friday through Sunday) during the afternoon, return to Luxor for room prep, dinner at a Mandalay Bay restaurant via the 3-minute tram, then Hakkasan at MGM Grand from 11 PM to 4 AM via the 5-minute corridor walk. The strip club leg — standard for Las Vegas bachelorette itineraries — adds Crazy Horse III (5 min rideshare) or Sapphire Las Vegas (8 min, free limo from the Luxor entrance).
Peppermint Hippo on the Strip is 5 minutes by rideshare. Sapphire Las Vegas provides the full Las Vegas strip club experience at 71,000 square feet with free limo service from the Luxor entrance through the NoCoverVegas guest list — no rideshare coordination needed.

Best for Bachelor Parties at Luxor
The Luxor bachelor party case is straightforward: $100–200 per night saved on the hotel room versus center Strip properties converts directly into either a Hakkasan bottle service upgrade or two additional strip club visits. The 5-minute corridor walk to Hakkasan makes the primary nightclub accessible every night of the trip — bachelor groups staying three nights can hit Hakkasan Wednesday (R&Bae hip-hop programming), Thursday (headliner), and Saturday (peak night) without any additional transportation cost for the main club.
Strip club routing from Luxor: Crazy Horse III at 5 minutes is the fastest option. Larry Flynt's Hustler Club on Dean Martin Drive is 7 minutes with three floors and 70,000 square feet. Sapphire Las Vegas offers free limo pickup from the Luxor entrance and returns the group at the end of the evening — eliminating rideshare surge pricing on the return trip at 3–4 AM when fares jump.
Optimal bachelor itinerary from Luxor for a Thursday–Saturday stay: Thursday night at Hakkasan R&Bae, Friday strip club (Crazy Horse III or Sapphire via free limo), Saturday back to Hakkasan with a bottle service table (minimums run $2,000–5,000 on peak Saturday headliner nights).

Best for Birthday Groups at Luxor
Hakkasan's birthday table packages are among the best-organized on the Strip. The dedicated birthday coordinator process handles balloon setups, a birthday banner, and a reserved VIP section with dedicated server. The 5-minute corridor walk from Luxor makes the logistics frictionless: no rideshare, no parking, no navigating outdoor crowds.
For smaller birthday groups (4–6 people) who want an intimate experience, On The Record at Park MGM is 8 minutes on foot via The Park corridor. The private karaoke rooms at On The Record are bookable for groups and create a segment of the birthday night that belongs entirely to the group before transitioning into the speakeasy nightclub floor — covering both private-group time and standard nightclub experience in a single venue.
Strip club birthdays from Luxor: Birthday at Crazy Horse III and Birthday at Sapphire Las Vegas are both accessible via 5-minute rideshare or free limo, with dedicated birthday VIP rooms available at both venues.
Best for Large Groups at Luxor
Groups of 10 or more benefit most from Luxor's per-person cost reduction. A 10-person group saving $120 per night per room ($1,200 total per night, $3,600 over a 3-night trip) generates a nightlife budget equivalent to a Hakkasan bottle service table on all three nights — the math is particularly compelling when hotel cost is split among many people and nightlife cost falls on fewer.
The indoor corridor is the key logistical factor for large groups. Moving 10–20 people through an air-conditioned corridor is categorically simpler than coordinating multiple rideshares or managing street navigation during peak Saturday night crowds on Las Vegas Boulevard. The corridor walk from Luxor to Hakkasan at MGM Grand is fully indoors, takes 5 minutes at a normal walking pace, and doesn't require splitting the group at any point.
For groups with an Allegiant Stadium event on the itinerary, Luxor's location (10 minutes from the stadium) combined with Tailgate Beach Club's position directly across from Allegiant Stadium creates a coherent sports-and-nightlife day: pregame at Tailgate Beach Club → stadium event → post-game back to Tailgate or Hakkasan via the corridor. No other south Strip hotel positions a group better for this arc.

FAQ
Does the Luxor have a nightclub?
No. The Luxor does not currently have an on-property nightclub or dayclub. Previous nightlife venues at the property have closed. However, the Luxor's location provides walkable indoor access to Hakkasan at MGM Grand (5 minutes north through Excalibur) and Tailgate Beach Club across from Allegiant Stadium is a short ride away, making the lack of on-property nightlife a non-issue for most visitors.
Is the Luxor a good hotel for nightlife?
The Luxor is one of the best value-for-nightlife hotels on the Strip. Rooms regularly fall below $80/night with a $35 resort fee, and the indoor corridor system connects you to Hakkasan (5 min walk) and Skyfall Lounge at Delano (3 min tram, 64th floor, no cover) without going outside. Tailgate Beach Club across from Allegiant Stadium is a short ride away. The money you save on the room is money available for bottle service, cover charges, or guest list upgrades.
Can I walk from the Luxor to Hakkasan?
Yes. Walk north through the Luxor's indoor corridor into Excalibur, continue through Excalibur, and you arrive at MGM Grand where Hakkasan is located. The entire route is air-conditioned and indoors, taking approximately 5 minutes. This is the most important route to know when staying at Luxor for nightlife.
What is the Luxor pool like?
The Luxor has a rooftop pool available to hotel guests. It is not a dayclub or party pool — there are no DJs, no bottle service, no cover charge. It is a standard hotel pool with Strip views and a more relaxed atmosphere. For the dayclub experience, Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand is a 5-minute walk via indoor corridor, and Tailgate Beach Club is a short ride away with three heated pools and live sports.
Is the Luxor connected to other hotels?
Yes. Enclosed walkways and a free tram connect the Luxor to Mandalay Bay (south) and Excalibur (north). From Excalibur, a pedestrian bridge reaches New York-New York, and from there The PARK outdoor district connects to Park MGM and MGM Grand. This indoor network means you can walk from Mandalay Bay to MGM Grand without stepping outside — a major advantage during Vegas summer heat.
What is The PARK and how do I access it from Luxor?
The PARK is the outdoor pedestrian entertainment district between New York-New York, Park MGM, and T-Mobile Arena. From Luxor, walk north through Excalibur's indoor corridor, cross the pedestrian bridge to New York-New York, and exit toward the MGM Grand Arena side. The PARK is immediately in front of you. It contains restaurants, bars, and an outdoor gathering space that fills before and after major arena events. On The Record at Park MGM is accessible from The PARK's west side.
Is New York-New York walking distance from Luxor?
Yes. The Excalibur pedestrian bridge connects directly to New York-New York, making it an approximately 7-minute indoor walk from the Luxor casino floor. New York-New York has Rok Vegas rooftop bar, Nine Fine Irishmen Irish pub with live music from 8 PM, and the Arcade Bar — all solid pre-game stops before heading to Hakkasan or continuing north toward the center Strip clubs.
What is the best night to stay at Luxor for nightlife?
Wednesday through Saturday are all strong nights from Luxor. Wednesday is underrated because Hakkasan's R&Bae hip-hop and R&B night runs its full programming, the five-minute corridor walk to Hakkasan is as convenient on Wednesday as Friday, and rideshare prices are at off-peak rates. Friday and Saturday offer the most nightclub options but also the highest hotel rates — the Luxor rate advantage is largest on these nights relative to competing south Strip hotels.
Are there any bars inside the Luxor itself?
Yes. Luxor has several casino-floor bars and Diablo's Cantina, which serves Mexican food with margaritas in a party-leaning atmosphere that works well as a group pre-game stop. The casino floor bars are open late and provide a starting point before the corridor walk to Hakkasan or the tram south to Skyfall Lounge at Delano. None of these are standalone nightclub venues, but they function well as departure points for the evening.
How do I get to strip clubs from the Luxor?
The easiest method is the complimentary limo included with the NoCoverVegas guest list. Sign up at NoCoverVegas for Crazy Horse III, Sapphire Las Vegas, or another participating club, and a limo picks you up at the Luxor hotel entrance with return service included. Rideshare is also fast — Crazy Horse III is a 5-minute ride, Larry Flynt's Hustler Club is 7 minutes, and Peppermint Hippo on the Strip is 5 minutes.

Convention Events Near Luxor
Luxor is directly connected to Mandalay Bay via the free resort tram — a one-minute ride to the Black Hat USA 2026 convention at Mandalay Bay Convention Center (Aug 1–6). Cybersecurity professionals attending Black Hat regularly use Luxor as an overflow hotel when Mandalay Bay, Delano, and Four Seasons fill. DEF CON 2026 follows immediately at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Aug 7–10) — Luxor guests can take the free tram to Excalibur, walk to MGM Grand, and use the Las Vegas Monorail to reach the LVCC in under 20 minutes.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Luxor have a nightclub?
No. The Luxor does not currently have an on-property nightclub or dayclub. Previous nightlife venues at the property have closed. However, the indoor corridor connects you to Hakkasan at MGM Grand (5 minutes north) and Skyfall Lounge at Delano (3 minutes south via tram, 64th floor, no cover), making the lack of on-property nightlife a non-issue.
Is the Luxor a good hotel for nightlife?
The Luxor is one of the best value-for-nightlife hotels on the Strip. Rooms regularly fall below $80/night with a $35 resort fee, and the indoor corridor connects you to Hakkasan (5 min north) and Skyfall Lounge at Delano (3 min south via tram, 64th floor, no cover) without going outside. Tailgate Beach Club across from Allegiant Stadium is a short ride away. The savings on the room can go toward nightlife experiences.
Can I walk from the Luxor to Hakkasan?
Yes. Walk north through the Luxor into Excalibur and continue to MGM Grand where Hakkasan is located. The entire route is air-conditioned and indoors, taking approximately 5 minutes. This is the most important route for Luxor guests interested in nightlife.
What is the Luxor pool like?
The Luxor has a rooftop pool for hotel guests. It is not a dayclub — no DJs, no bottle service, no cover charge. It is a standard hotel pool with Strip views and a relaxed atmosphere. For the party pool experience, Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM Grand is a 5-minute indoor walk, and Tailgate Beach Club across from Allegiant Stadium is a short ride away with three heated pools.
Is the Luxor connected to other hotels?
Yes. Enclosed walkways and a free tram connect the Luxor to Mandalay Bay (south) and Excalibur (north). From Excalibur, a pedestrian bridge reaches New York-New York, and The PARK outdoor district connects to Park MGM and MGM Grand. This indoor network lets you walk from Mandalay Bay to MGM Grand without stepping outside — essential during Vegas summer heat.
What is The PARK and how do I access it from Luxor?
The PARK is the outdoor pedestrian entertainment district between New York-New York, Park MGM, and T-Mobile Arena. Walk north through Luxor into Excalibur, cross the pedestrian bridge to New York-New York, and exit toward the arena side. The PARK has restaurants including Sake Rok and Shake Shack, bars, and connects to On The Record at Park MGM. Major arena events make The PARK especially lively.
Is New York-New York walking distance from the Luxor?
Yes. The Excalibur pedestrian bridge connects directly to New York-New York, approximately 7 minutes on foot from Luxor via the indoor corridor. New York-New York has Rok Vegas rooftop bar, Nine Fine Irishmen Irish pub with live music from 8 PM, and the Arcade Bar — all solid pre-game stops before heading to Hakkasan or On The Record.
What is the best night to visit Las Vegas clubs when staying at Luxor?
Wednesday is underrated from a Luxor base because Hakkasan's R&Bae hip-hop night runs the full 5-minute corridor route, rideshare prices are off-peak, and hotel rates at Luxor are lowest midweek. Thursday through Saturday all work well — Hakkasan is a 5-minute walk any of those nights, and major headliner weekends make the corridor route deliver the most entertainment value in Las Vegas at the lowest hotel-room price.
Are there any bars inside the Luxor itself?
Yes. Luxor has casino-floor bars and Diablo's Cantina, which serves Mexican food with margaritas in a party atmosphere. These work well as pre-game starting points before the corridor walk to Hakkasan or the tram to Skyfall Lounge at Delano (64th floor, no cover). None are standalone nightclub venues, but Diablo's Cantina handles a group pre-game effectively.
How do I get to strip clubs from the Luxor?
The easiest method is the complimentary limo included with the NoCoverVegas guest list — sign up for Crazy Horse III, Sapphire Las Vegas, or another participating club, and a limo picks you up at the Luxor entrance with return service included. By rideshare, Crazy Horse III and Peppermint Hippo are 5 minutes away, and Larry Flynt's Hustler Club is 7 minutes.
