The Mysteries of the Middle East Come Alive on the Las Vegas Strip

   It's hard to miss, this testimonial to the creativity and innovation of the builders of the world's most exciting city.
   The Luxor hotel-casino is one  of the most distinctive resorts in a city where architecture knows no bounds.
   The Luxor is America's second-largest hotel with 4,476 rooms.  The resort features a 350-foot-tall pyramid plus two 22-story "ziggaret" shaped towers.
   Nine Boeing 747 jets could be stacked in the Luxor's atrium, the world's largest at 29 million square feet.   
At its peak is the world's most powerful beam of light, with 40 times the candle power of a strong searchlight.  On a clear night, the beam of light is visible at cruising altitude from Los Angeles, approximately 250 miles away.
   Named after Upper Egypt's most exotic tourist destinations, Luxor also features 120,000 sqare feet of casino space, one level of cutting-edge attractions, entertainment such as the Blue Man Group (left) and themed restaurants.
