Luxor DescriptionLocated at the south end of the Strip, the Luxor
prides itself on offering all the luxuries -- excellent
restaurants, renowned entertainment and amazing attractions --
that a pharaoh could want.
Perhaps no other hotel in the world has as grand and mystical an
air as the Luxor. Contained in a 30-story black glass pyramid and
a pair of stepped-pyramid towers is all the splendor of ancient
Egypt and all the technological wonders of the modern world,
paired with the no-holds-barred showmanship that made Vegas an
adjective.
The Luxor incorporates so many amenities that it's almost an
entire vacation in itself. The spacious rooms are decorated in
Eastern finery and surround the world's largest atrium. The Oasis
Spa is one of the best of its kind, located in the Luxor's cool
and verdant pool area. Dining choices run from Chinese specialties
at Fusia to the gourmet delights of Luxor Steakhouse.
The attractions floor is an exciting testing ground for
cutting-edge film and ride technology, featuring a motion
simulator, a two-story video arcade and the spectacular IMAX
Theatre, with its giant screen (68 feet tall by 48 feet wide) and
15,000-watt digital sound system. Following the Luxor theme, there
also is a re-creation of King Tut's Tomb.
Let's not forget entertainment. Luxor hosts the topless show
Fantasy. And the casino, at more than 100,000 square feet, is one
of Vegas' largest.
This fully encompassing environment demands amazement, and few
have walked away without according it. With modern marvels married
to the ancient sedate majesty of Egypt's City of the Living, Luxor
fully deserves its self-appointed title as "The Newest Wonder Of
The World."
