Las-Vegas-Luxor-Hotel
The Las Vegas Luxor Hotel is a spectacular building, composed of black glass, in the shape of a pyramid, with
a huge sphinx guarding the front entrance.
After dark, the Luxor Skybeam, (a huge spotlight, believed to be the brightest beam in the world), shines from the center
of the pyramid into the sky. This light can be seen from up to 250 miles away on a clear night, and the hotel's website
claims that it can also be clearly seen from outer space.
Luxor Attractions
As well as the hotel's fascinating design, the hotel has the following attractions that set it apart from the other Strip Hotels:
|
- The Bodies Exhibition, which is an educational and fascinating display of real human bodies.
The exhibition includes 13 whole bodies and over 260 organs and partial body exhibits.
- Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, which displays original items from the famous Titanic ship,
including a section of the original ship's hull. The exhibition is presented in a way that allows you to
imagine the experience of being a passenger on the ship's fateful maiden voyage.
- The Atrium Level in the pyramid, is situated one level above the casino floor, and is filled with shops,
a food court, and the Atrium Showroom
- Vegas's hottest nightclub, 'LAX', which provides a VIP clubbing experience
- The Luxor Hotel Cathouse Nightclub which combines a celebrity chef restaurant service with lively dancing
|
The Luxor Hotel also has the usual Vegas Hotel amenities, including a Spa, the casino, the pool,
several bars & lounges, and a great selection of restaurants and cafes.
Luxor Hotel Pool
The Luxor Hotel has a fun and busy pool area, with four pools, a whirlpool, and lively music.
The pool opening times are between 9am and 7pm every day, although you should be aware that not all of the pools are open all the time.
Luxor Hotel Shows & Entertainment
The main long-running show in the Las Vegas Luxor Hotel is the CRISS ANGEL Believe by Cirque du Soleil.
This show stars the master illusionist, Criss Angel, whose amazing mind tricks combine with incredible dancing
to produce an unforgettable, yet unbelievable show.
In the Atrium Showroom, the Luxor presents two adult shows.
These are 'Fantasy', which features topless beautiful women, in a sensual performance of a singing, comedy and choreography,
and the award-winning stand-up comedian, 'Carrot Top'.
Luxor Hotel Rooms & Suites
The original accommodation in the Las Vegas Luxor Hotel is in the pyramid and is reached via elevators that move along
the inside of the pyramid at an angle. Outside of the pyramid rooms, open hallways look out over the atrium.
There are also 2 additional towers that are also a part of the hotel, and which were added some years after the
original pyramid construction.
The Luxor is a relatively old hotel, and so the rooms in the pyramid are not the most modern on the Strip.
Also, some people dislike the lighting in the pyramid rooms, which is quite dim.
The tower rooms are more up-to-date, so if the style of your room is important to you, you might consider
paying a few extra dollars for an upgraded tower room.
Regardless of the type of room you choose, the rooms and suites in the Luxor are clean, and are good value for money.
However, you should be aware that you will be charged an additional 'resort fee' of $10.95 per night,
which covers newspaper delivery, 2 bottles of water, admission to the Nurture Fitness Center, and unlimited
local & domestic long-distance telephone calls from your room or suite.
Also, if you want to use the Internet from your room, you will be charged a fee of $15 per day for this.
Location
The Las Vegas Luxor Hotel is positioned between the
Excalibur Hotel and
Mandalay Bay.
This is at the southern end of Las Vegas Strip, and is a good walk, or a short bus ride, from the central Strip attractions.
However, there is lots to see and do in the immediate area, and there is a free tram that runs between
the Luxor and its neighbouring hotels.
