Opened in 1993, the Luxor Hotel & Casino is one of the most recognizable landmarks on the Las Vegas Strip. Its striking 30-story black glass pyramid design pays homage to ancient Egypt, complete with a massive recreation of the Great Sphinx of Giza guarding the entrance.
Inside, guests encounter the world's largest atrium by volume, which houses a bustling casino floor, diverse dining options, and popular exhibits. The hotel is also famous for its unique "inclinators," which are elevators that travel sideways at a 39-degree angle along the pyramid's inner walls.
At night, the resort commands attention with the Luxor Sky Beam, the strongest beam of light in the world. Shining directly from the pyramid's apex into the desert sky, this iconic beacon is visible to aviators hundreds of miles away.
Ratings
hotelVisitor Tips
- ◆ Ride the unique 'inclinators' instead of standard elevators to experience traveling at a sharp angle along the pyramid walls.
- ◆ Visit the atrium level to explore popular attractions like Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and Bodies... The Exhibition.
- ◆ Take advantage of the free tram and indoor walkways that connect the Luxor directly to neighboring Excalibur and Mandalay Bay.
- ◆ For the best photo of the Sphinx and the pyramid exterior, head to the tram station platform during the golden hour just before sunset.
Heads Up
- ◆ The sloping walls of the pyramid rooms mean that outer windows are angled, which some guests find disorienting or reduces usable standing space near the glass.
- ◆ Be prepared for significant walking, as navigating from the self-parking garage to the front desk and guest towers can take a long time.
- ◆ Like most Strip properties, a mandatory daily resort fee is added to your bill and is not included in the initial room rate.
