The Luxor Casino

No one can miss the gigantic glass 350-foot tall foot pyramid that dominates the skyline of the Las Vegas strip, taking up full 47 acres of land. Inside the Luxor casino, you’ll find that the Egyptian theme has been toned down – the hotel underwent a substantial renovation in 2007 - but not to worry, the free drinks haven’t vanished.

More recently, the Luxor has added quite a few new games to the casino including a multi-line video slots and video poker. Wall-to-wall slot machines and roulette tables provide opportunities to win big, including the classic lucky 7’s.

Those looking for group games of craps, roulette and blackjack can reserve a one-hour table. Booking a private table allows you to play exclusively with invited friends, but don't forget to book 24 hours in advance.
