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.

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 Thursday through Sunday, with world-class DJs in a five-level, 80,000-square-foot venue.

Strip Clubs: 5-7 Minute Ride

Crazy Horse III is approximately 5 minutes by ride from Luxor, making it the closest strip club option. Larry Flynt's Hustler Club is about 7 minutes. Both offer free entry and a free guest list entry through our guest list — a significant perk when you are already saving money on your hotel room.

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 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.

The Luxor strategy is built on the indoor corridor: everything from Mandalay Bay's pool to Hakkasan at MGM Grand is connected through enclosed walkways, and you save $100-200/night compared to staying at those properties directly.

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 Foundation Room (3 min walk) 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, Tailgate Beach Club across from Allegiant Stadium is a short ride away with three heated pools and live sports on 125+ feet of LED screens.

Is the Luxor connected to other hotels?

Yes. The Luxor connects to Mandalay Bay to the south and Excalibur to the north via enclosed, air-conditioned walkways and a free tram. From Excalibur, a pedestrian bridge connects to New York-New York. This indoor network means you can walk from Mandalay Bay to MGM Grand without stepping outside — a major advantage during the extreme Vegas summer heat.
