Luxor Situated at the southern end of the Strip, the Luxor Hotel has long been a famous landmark of Las Vegas, attracting international travelers and celebrities alike by projecting its beam of light into the night sky.
Although it has retained its unique architecture, Luxor has moved away from the Egyptian theme and modernized it.
This 30-story pyramid provides spacious rooms, world-class shopping, the world’s largest atrium, chic bars, plenty of entertainment options, and a famous casino.
Since the construction of this iconic hotel, it has appeared in a number of movies:
Mars Attacks!
2012
In Up in the Air
And probably the most famous of them:
The Hangover
Luxor's Sky Beam
Luxor's Sky Beam is the strongest beam of light in the world, at 42.3 billion candelas. They use curved mirrors to collect the light from 39 xenon lamps and focus on one narrow beam.
It is visible up to 275 miles (443 km) from an airplane at cruising altitude, such as over Los Angeles on a clear night. When it runs on full power, it costs hourly $51 to operate. A costly but amazing spectacle!
Even if you are not a gambler, there are a plethora of entertainment options for guests of all ages.
One of the quirkiest features of Luxor Hotel is the diagonally running elevators. They are climbing floor by floor at a 39-degree angle.
There are fascinating displays featuring artifacts from the Titanic, world-class restaurants, renowned performers, and some of the hottest clubs on the Strip.
It is not unlikely that you will encounter famous names like Criss Angel, Carrot Top, Cirque de Soleil, or the Jabbawockeez, who frequently perform on-site during your stay.
You could also rub elbows with other famous celebrities who often frequent the hotel’s clubs and lounges.
Guestrooms are inviting, beautifully decorated, and surprisingly inexpensive. In all likelihood, you will probably spend the majority of your time experiencing all the other amenities Luxor has to offer.
