Overview: One of the most recognizable buildings on the Las Vegas strip, Luxor is housed in a bronze pyramid with a colorful sphinx. The hotel is built to approximately three-quarters of the scale of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Luxor casino sits below the largest open atrium in the world. The hotel`s lobby is a recreation of the temple at Abu Simbel with four colossal statues of a seated Rameses. The guest rooms and suites in the pyramid have sloping walls and balconies. They are suspended into the open atrium of the pyramid. The top three floors are home to large guest suites. Guests reach their rooms in the pyramid by using "inclinators," since the walls of the structure are sloped. However, elevator boxes remain vertical while traveling along a 39-degree shaft.
