A 30-storey black-glass pyramid topped by the brightest spotlight on Earth, Luxor opened in 1993 and remains one of the Strip's most recognisable buildings. The hotel rooms run along the slanted walls — elevators travel at a 39-degree angle on "inclinators" to reach them. The atrium below is the largest in the world by volume.
The Egyptian theme has been gradually dialled back; what was once a full immersive walk through faux-ancient Egypt is now a more generic casino with a few sphinxes still in place. The pyramid itself remains the draw. Inside you will find the long-running "Bodies: The Exhibition" and a Titanic artefact exhibition that includes a 15-tonne section of the ship's hull — the largest piece ever recovered.
