There's nothing quite like gambling inside the world's fourth largest pyramid. Glittering and shiny from the outside and cavernous and magnificent on the inside, the Luxor Hotel and Casino is a testament to excess. You can win a king's ransom on the gaming floor or be pampered like a queen in the hotel's spa facilities. The Pharaoh's never had it this good!
The painstaking recreation of such Egyptian icons as the temple at Abu Simbel (the main entrance), the tomb and museum of King Tutankhamun (inside the Pharaoh's Pavilion) and the feluccas that glide up and down the Nile (in the food court) were not taken lightly. All of this to ensure that guests of Luxor Las Vegas remain totally immersed in the Egyptian experience - Vegas style.
The 4,407 guest rooms and suites have all of the expected accoutrements. The casino, which sits below the largest open atrium in the world, offers blackjack, roulette, Pai Gow and craps tables, a poker room, race & sports book, keno lounge and the latest slots from nickel to $5 pulls.
Entertainment options run the gamut - from tickets to "Fantasy" (a topless revue), the IMAX 3D and 2D movie theatres and the "In Search of the Obelisk" motion simulator ride. Ra The Nightclub features international DJs spinning house and techno music.The Egyptian motif continues in the Luxor's myriad restaurants, including Isis for gourmet continental cuisine, the Sacred Sea for seafood, the Luxor Steakhouse, Papyrus for Asian cuisine and the Pharaoh's Feast Buffet. Chef Damis Irizarry combines flavors and spices from the Orient with the Caribbean in the new Fusia, a feng shui-friendly dining experience.
