A gigantic replica of the
Great Sphinx stands in front of the 30-story dark pyramid of the
Luxor Las Vegas Hotel and
Casino, inviting guests into the Egyptian-themed resort, complete with swaying palms, statues of Ramses and a mock obelisk. Accessible by the
Vegas monorail, the
Luxor is at the south end of
The Strip near the
Las Vegas Convention Center. With its flashing beam of light on the apex and a towering atrium inside, the pyramid is a favorite among vacationing families, though the vast casino, nightly entertainment and gourmet dining guarantee adults a quintessential
Las Vegas vacation.
Dramatically lit statues, towering pillars and polished wood furniture adorn the marble lobby.
Pyramid guest accommodations are accessed by inclinators (elevators that ascend on an angle because of the building's shape) and have slanted picture windows that look out onto The Strip. The hotels
Egyptian theme is subtler in the guest rooms, which are decorated with comfortable, contemporary furnishings, though scattered touches such as hieroglyphic artwork or black lacquer inlay evoke the exotic vibe.
Rooms and Las Vegas suites range from about 400 square feet to over
1000 square feet, the most luxurious of which offers marble soaking tubs, separate sitting areas and wet bars.
Las Vegas specialty restaurants like Fusia Luxor, offering
Asian cuisine, and
T & T, which serves
Mexican food, are popular among families. Guests with a discerning palate enjoy award-winning
Chef KC Fazel's
Tender Steak and
Seafood Restaurant, and those seeking a unique dining and entertainment experience will enjoy the CatHouse, which blends a
European bordello ambience and provocative entertainment with a multi-cuisine menu created by celebrity chef
Kerry Simon.
