Luxor

The theme of the Luxor Hotel and Casino has traditionally revolved around ancient Egypt and the Tomb of King Tutankhamen. More recently, the hotel has tried to diversify away from this theme and concentrate on providing hip Las Vegas-style hospitality and entertainment. The Luxor can always be spotted as the Pyramid Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, decked out in extravagant décor. Guests can choose among 4,476 deluxe rooms and suites.

The King Tut Museum. The King Tut Museum displays faithful reproductions of the treasures uncovered by one of history's most famous archaeological finds. The visitor can see the renowned guardian statues, the king's sarcophagus, and a variety of pottery, beads and baskets. The King Tut Museum rooms were carefully recreated from the original and the treasures were copied by craftsmen using tools and methods like those of the period. Each artifact is carefully placed in the same location as that specified in the records of the original expedition.

Stairway to the Stars. Luxor claims that its Sky Beam (over 42 billion candlepower) is the world's brightest ray of light and that an astronaut could read by this beam from ten miles up. The Sky Beam may be seen for 250 miles.
