This stop came so close to meeting our minimum needs while traveling with a baby in Las Vegas. After we had trouble locating family restrooms at several hotels along the Las Vegas Strip, during our trip in May of 2023, we were thrilled to finally track one down near the food court at Luxor Las Vegas. But the restroom was inaccessible, and our happiness short-lived. This almost-but-not-quite situation does Luxor no favors in our ranking of baby-friendly spots in Las Vegas. Since we weren’t able to use the family restroom we found, and nothing else about this spot is especially child-friendly, I’m ranking this stop at #10.
We discovered this restroom during a quick pit stop for lunch. Before we sat down to eat, I was hoping we could use the space to pump and change our 10-month-old baby’s diaper. In vain, we tracked down multiple hotel and food court employees who did their best to help us unlock the space. It turns out, the restroom was out of order, which meant it was entirely off-limits.
In my frustration, this is where I finally decided I was done pumping in bathroom stalls and would, instead, try pumping in the spacious area around the sinks. Looking back, I wish I had done this more often, when I wasn’t able to find a private space. I felt a little self-conscious, and I had some trouble discreetly positioning my nursing cover, but otherwise, I didn’t run into any issues.
Aside from the family restroom fiasco, things were fairly smooth at Luxor. We easily found a diaper changing station. I made a follow-up inquiry with Luxor’s hotel group, MGM Resorts, after we returned home, and I confirmed that there is at least one family restroom available, and that multiple changing stations can be found, although there is no public lactation space on site. I asked for a few more details, and I’ll be sure to update this post if I hear back.
We made use of Luxor’s elevators to navigate with our Evenflo Pivot Xpand Stroller and ran into our favorite sign, which read “This is Not an Elevator”. The sign did a great job illustrating the circuitous nature of the Las Vegas Strip for families with babies, a circumstance that certainly isn’t limited to Luxor. Otherwise, Luxor didn’t stand out much in terms of its child-friendliness or lack thereof.
If your adventures in Las Vegas take your family through Luxor, I would definitely recommend checking out the family restroom and changing stations. You won’t find them everywhere. We hope this eventually changes for traveling parents in the future. As things stand, hopefully your experience is a bit smoother than ours.
