Luxor Las Vegas
A black glass pyramid hotel at the south end of the Strip, with a giant sphinx at its entrance. At night, the beam of light shooting from the top of the pyramid is one of Las Vegas’s signature sights.
The Luxor opened in 1993. Its main building is a black glass pyramid about 30 stories tall, with a replica sphinx and obelisk in front. Its ancient Egyptian theme makes it one of the easiest buildings on the Strip to recognize. After dark, the Luxor Sky Beam shoots a powerful beam of light into the night sky, visible from far outside the city. Inside the pyramid is a vast atrium, with elevators running along the slanted walls. The hotel regularly features a Titanic artifacts exhibit and a human body exhibition, along with resident shows such as Blue Man Group (tickets sold separately). The exterior and lobby can be visited for free. A free monorail connects the hotel with Mandalay Bay and Excalibur. It pairs well with New York-New York and the Welcome sign for a walk along the south end of the Strip.
