Aurora

Don’t sit in the lounge. Apparently if you sit in the lounge… the waitress gets the drinks from the BACK. There is a bar in the place, yet they only serve people at the bar. REALLY! I came with a group of people… we were a party of six. We ordered a variety of drinks. Two of us ordered the NEW BELLINI. The NEW BELLINI was Horrible, Yuck, Disgusting! I approached the bar and asked the bartender if I could purchase a new drink. This is when I learned the drinks were made downstairs. They lead me to the waitress and I explained the situation. I ordered new drinks. However, it took quite awhile to get them. When we finally received them, the rest of our group was almost done. The cocktail waitress informed us there was a bartender change and apologized for the delay. The waitress was pleasant. We will not be back to this bar. If I am going to by high prices for a cocktail, I expect them to be made by the bartender at the big bar. NOT the bar that is behind the scenes. This place is shady!

This a great little bar inside the Luxor, if that is where you find yourself. They have a very reasonable happy hour when comparing it to regular strip prices. The cocktail service was fast and friendly and the bartender knows how to make a tasty drink. I’ve been here a few times now, the prices and service will keep me as a repeat customer!

Still great!
Great cocktails. All of our cigar smoke just disappears.
Lily is our new fav!

Awesome staff and super comfortable seating! The prices are very reasonable and the service is extremely quick. This is my first time coming to the Luxor and this spot would make me come back.

Awesome service. .helpful server. Love the atmosphere. Celebrating husband birthday.

Exceptional staff great location beautiful and clean. We had a terrible experience at rice and co and decided to go downstairs to try to enjoy the post wedding celebrations that rice and co destroyed. That’s when we found aurora they were so kind and the drinks were wonderful. They let us have our wedding cake there and it was an all around wonderful experience

Very relaxing atmosphere. Comfortable seating to chill and have a drink. Good drink specials during happy hour. Friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back!

They get 3.5 stars because the had Private Stock! Something you dont see much in any bar. But the bartenders are very inconsistent and very $$$! They all pour differently and if I am going to pay top dollar it should be a good pour!

I’ve been staying at the Luxor for years. I do an annual trip in June with my brother, father, and friends. I can’t say enough about how well we are treated here. None of us are huge gamblers. Having said that, we stay for four or five days and do spend a lot of time at the hotel. Having just returned from our last trip, I wanted to write a review about the Aurora Lounge and say thank you to the Bartenders and staff. Our cocktail waitress, Maria, made us feel like we owned the place. The service she provided us was fantastic. The attention to detail to ensure we were enjoying ourselves surpassed even some of the finest establishments in the city. As a consumer, who enjoys a good place to drink and converse with good service, I’d be hard pressed to say you’ll find a better spot. It’s open, roomy, and comfortable. The drinks and service are great. The same can be said for the Centra Lounge. I look forward to returning again and again.

The five dollar bloody marys are the bomb!
Atmosphere is awesome but a little loud.
Say and smoked cigars while drinking unlimited $ 5 bloody marys. Also have $ 14 version with premium vodka. Tammy B is the server of choice. She is awesome!

Great classy bar to meet up with buds as they arrive at the LUXOR.
Great venue for groups. As we slowly trickle into The Luxor for a weekend event or occasion AURORA is a cool n classy venue, and it’s right across from the hotel check in area. So, if you arrive first, check in, go up to your suite. Freshen up, and come down here to hunker down for a few hours and sip your cosmos. Because of the wide openness of the venue, you will be visible to your buds as they arrive.
Great for groups in that the tables and chairs and little stools are all easily movable. Sure, you’ll be paying The Strip prices for your drinks, but they are pretty good. Natch the cocktail waitresses are super attractive (all colors shapes and a sizes in a very cool modern way that works) and skimpily clad.
Not so much a place for local Las Vegans. But when I first moved here in 2009, my soon to become my boyfriend of 6+ months agreed to meet me here even the drinks would be at The Strip prices because I felt COMFORTABLE with the venue.
I’ll have to remember to take some pix next time I’m over there.

I had a wonderful time. Spent lots of money. When you tip well you have the best service.
The drinks are very pricey, but they are anywhere you go.
If you do not tip well, don’t complain about the service. If you don’t like that the drink is $ 14.00 dollars but a bottle and stay home.
Your in Vegas!!!

Great Little Bar Tucked Away Inside the Luxor Pyramid in Vegas
SITREP
«Aurora», the «Goddess of the Dawn», so aptly named since on one occasion, I think it actually was almost dawn when we left after late night Karaōke activities ending at 3am.
THE SETUP
We actually cabbed back to the Luxor after Bazil’s, but still a bit too wired to go to sleep and this place was still open. Wait. Let me rephrase that. It’s ALWAYS open. Jesus — 24 HRS! [This is SOOOO not Sacramento.] ;)
WHY I LOVE VEGAS
That’s the remarkable thing about Vegas I still have to get to used is that most bars don’t close — they are open 24 hours! That’s actually the thing I hate about bars in Sacramento, and even San Francisco & Seattle (my favorite Cities) — the bar security will go around and grab your drink at, what (checks his watch) 2am or even 1:40am and take the $ 10 drink you ordered that is still half full (because I am a sipper who likes to savor my martini or cocktail) — or forces you to down the top shelf goodness like it was some cheap shot.
TRIANGULATION
Located across from the lobby’s front desk, Aurora can be that first distracting stop (as it was with me) before you get back to your room (and often a couple hour detour).
MY DRINK
Anyways, this was a fantastic chill spot. As far as drinks go, I’m basic with a Rum & Coke, and it was great to see that this drink is cheap — commensurately speaking — when compared to other cocktails here as anywhere.
LUXOR-​DECOR
Nice to watch people doing the table top games nearby, but just as interesting is the lighting-​effects inside the bar on the ceiling. And though the name-​antecedent originates back to «The Dawn», in this instance, this bar’s use of the name «Aurora», more specifically references those aforementioned lighting effects reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis or «Northern lights».
THE LOWDOWN
Aurora has a great chill Vegas vibe, and if you don’t really want to be in the Casino areas, Aurora had for me a fun environment [Where I could enjoy my drink and have fun flirting with a group of ladies from the Czech Republic, whose biological clocks were still on Czech time, and so they were «up» already.] ;)

Walking past by this place multiple times while staying at the Luxor, I always thought that Aurora looked very appealing. I came here on my last night and sat at the bar. The lights above the bar were beautiful. Glass icicles were illuminated with varying colors that were reminiscent of aurora borealis (aka the Northern Lights), which rendered the name «Aurora» very appropriate for this lounge. The lounge was posh and trendy. If you stay at the Luxor, you can use your free drinks coupon here.
However, during my visit, the bartender wasn’t friendly and appeared disinterested in conversing with any of the patrons around the bar. He asked you what you wanted, prepared it, gave you the bill and never came back. I observed this repetitive pattern countless times when I was there. I don’t know if I would return and pay full price for my drinks if I didn’t have the coupon. There are so many bars and lounges throughout the Strip that I believe coming back here would just be settling for mediocrity.

It like the Starbux next to it, but with booze. Great place to sip an alcoholic drink and a better wifi reception than in your room at the Luxor. Service is great and you can complain about overpriced drinks, but i got some work done here (i know, who is working in Vegas!)

This is my spot. I always stay at Luxor and when I lived in Vegas for a few months on a project I made sure to stop in here a few times a week.
The bartenders all remember me anytime I’m there. It’s really nice that I can not go to Vegas for months then stop in for drinks and they all remember me.
I’m rating this place so high because I’m always treated like a person there. And they had a crazy cheap bottle promo going for a while.
Love this place and it’s great for people watching.

Overpriced. Only went because we had a coupon. Service was OK but not overly friendly either. Definitely don’t need to go back…

Overpriced. Of course. Shitty, inattentive servers? That was a surprise. You might as well just sit down somewhere at a slot machine and you’ll get better service than here. Plus then, at least your drink will be a tip only.
We spent our free drink coupons here and planned on getting a few more rounds to make it up to our server… we ended up just staying for the one. It wasn’t even worth the free drink.

Great service, my boyfriend wanted to watch a soccer game and they were extremely nice enough to change the tv in front of us, all smiles. I recommend the Green Wave (which has Malibu rum)
Very relaxed ambience, perfect for the afternoon after going out.
Oh and love love love the lighting

Dimmed lights, dark corners, pastels highlighting the bar and those premium vodkas, and soft leather seats secluded into the corners and vast area of the lounge. Walking in, you almost need to be careful because you could potentially trip in the dark. Soft lights flow through the area where people sit and a little shine gives away to check out faces and bodies.
The drinks were on Luxor, so I took the opportunity to check out the lounge. I invited myself to a set of leather couches, sank and and let my feet have a rest from those sky high heels. The service was a little slow but it was a good break from the loudness and the cloudiness of the casino.
When our waitress came, she told us our options for our complimentary drinks: well drinks or beers. Since I already had a vodka crab about an hour earlier, I was hoping for some difference. The Hawaiian sea breeze did the trick, with a splash of cran juice but complimented with pineapple juice and well vodka. Her suggestion really hit the spot for me. The tangy sweetness of that pineapple did wonders.
There seemed to be a couple of bartenders and two waitresses that were ether running back and forth in their 80s leather boots or trying to rearrange the furniture.
The boo and I decided to enjoy each others company for a while in the dim setting and the privacy without the banter of others or the wait staff.
Very clean interior and overall a good time, just wished they had food and some sweet melody to relax to. It’s continently located right by the check in counter for Luxor. Mm great place to relax for a break.
