The Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas: A Modern Transformation Beyond Ancient Egypt
Summary
Since its grand opening on October 15, 1993, the iconic Luxor Hotel and Casino, with its towering pyramid structure, stood as the tallest building in Las Vegas. Visible for miles, it once dwarfed other hotels on the Strip with its distinctive Egyptian theme. In those days, Las Vegas casinos used elaborate themes to stand out. For instance, the Steve Wynn hotel, Treasure Island, embraced a pirate motif, while the MGM Grand celebrated cinema with a movie-based experience featuring a yellow brick road through the casino.
A New Era for Luxor
Originally, the Luxor dazzled guests with its ancient Egyptian allure. Visitors were greeted by a replica of the Sphinx at the entrance, and a Nile River ride offered an experience similar to attractions at Disneyworld’s Epcot Center. Though not one of the seven wonders of the world, it was undoubtedly a marvel of Las Vegas.
However, times have changed, and the Luxor is undergoing a major transformation to introduce a modern flair, erasing traces of its 18-year history. The renovation began in 2006 with the West Tower rooms and aims to refresh all 4,047 rooms by 2008.
Contemporary Enhancements
The once-famous RA Nightclub, a pioneer among Las Vegas mega-clubs, has been replaced by the trendy LAX Nightclub, an offshoot of the Los Angeles hotspot. Spanning two stories and 26,000 square feet, LAX has become a celebrity haven. Additionally, the exclusive Noir Bar offers a private reservation-only experience within the club. An adjoining bistro will soon open, allowing guests to dine, drink, and enjoy entertainment all in one place.
Though the Nile River ride is gone, the Luxor still offers a rich array of entertainment. Comedian Carrot Top delivers his unique shows six nights a week. The adult revue, Fantasy, features singing, dancing, and topless performances. For the family, ventriloquist Ronn Lucas entertains with his puppets in afternoon shows six days a week. In 2008, the Luxor will welcome another Cirque du Soleil production in collaboration with magician Criss Angel, set in the theater formerly home to the Blue Man Group.
A $300 Million Investment
The Luxor’s transformation is part of a $300 million investment by parent company MGM MIRAGE, aiming to align the hotel with Las Vegas’s newer resorts and casinos. As renovations progress, guests can anticipate the addition of new restaurants, bars, and entertainment options. While the ancient Egyptian theme fades, the Luxor's signature 30-story pyramid tower will remain a testament to its storied past.
