Las Vegas Luxor is both a hotel and casino and a focal point of attraction in the Sin City. It is probably one of the places that most people know at least from pictures and documentaries when it comes to touristic attractions around the world. On the location of the hotel, there used to be the Pyramid House, but much of the former atmosphere has been preserved in this themed resort. The name comes from the city of Luxor, located in the Valley of the Kings in ancient Egypt.

Built in 1991, Las Vegas Luxor underwent renovation in 2007. Tourists have more than 4,000 rooms available in addition to restaurants, clubs and lounges. In the same year of the renovation, one of the pyramid’s black surfaced facades advertised for Absolut Vodka but last year, in 2008, the ad was taken off. Las Vegas Luxor was initially more Egypt-oriented in terms of thematic aspect before the renovation two years ago. A river surrounded the casino and tourists where given a boat trip of the place.

The river was later removed because of tourist complaints that the trip took too long. Some superstitious voices even claimed that the river was haunted by the ghosts of two workers who had lost their lives working on the casino.

The resort Las Vegas Luxor also used to have a night club, a theater and many other attractions. Nowadays things have changed a lot. They have refurnished the rooms, they have replaced two great restaurants with CatHouse, they have again replaced the nightclub that was most popular in Vegas with another, part of the branch of LAX; fortunately, the Las Vegas Luxor Steakhouse has only changed the name, as well as the IMAX theater.

Las Vegas Luxor is very well-known because of its design, the work of Veldon Simpson. It is actually a pyramid of black glass that has rooms and facilities along 30 stories in height. The portico-like structure goes under a huge recreation of the Giza Sphinx which also makes it strikingly known to so many people. At the top of the pyramid there is a tower of light pointing upwards and being considered one of the strongest beams in the world.
