The Luxor's iconic black glass pyramid and 315,000-watt skybeam (the brightest beam in the world) make it one of Las Vegas's most recognizable landmarks. Room rates are competitive, and the hotel's southern Strip location is convenient for T-Mobile Arena, Allegiant Stadium, and MGM Grand. The Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and Bodies: The Exhibition are permanent attractions within.
Luxor Hotel & Casino at 3900 Las Vegas Blvd S is one of the most architecturally striking buildings in the United States — a 30-story black glass pyramid complete with a sphinx at the entrance and an obelisk flanking the facade, executed in full scale. Operated by MGM Resorts, Luxor opened in 1993 and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in Nevada. The 315,000-watt skybeam projected vertically from the pyramid apex is visible approximately 250 miles away on clear nights and is widely cited as the strongest artificial light beam on Earth, serving as a navigation landmark for the entire Las Vegas valley. The pyramid structure holds 2,526 rooms built along the interior slanted walls, with each room opening onto a vast 29-million-cubic-foot atrium — the world's largest hotel atrium — via distinctive inclinators: elevators that travel diagonally along the pyramid walls, an engineering feature found nowhere else in the world. The Luxor Tower annex to the north provides additional conventional room inventory. Room rates are competitive and among the lower end of the southern Strip. Two permanent museum-quality exhibitions within the property attract substantial non-gaming visitation: Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition displays more than 250 artifacts recovered from the wreck site; Bodies: The Exhibition presents preserved human anatomical specimens. TENDER Steakhouse is the primary fine dining venue. The pool area has three outdoor pools. Luxor's southern Strip position connects it via skybridge to Excalibur, places it near Mandalay Bay and the Four Seasons, and within 15 minutes on foot of T-Mobile Arena and Allegiant Stadium.

Frequently asked questions
What makes the Luxor's pyramid rooms unique?
Pyramid rooms are built along the interior slanted walls of the pyramid structure, meaning the outer wall of each room tilts inward at an angle. Rooms open onto the central atrium — an experience found in no other hotel in the world.
What exhibitions are at Luxor Hotel & Casino?
Luxor permanently hosts Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, featuring 250+ artifacts from the Titanic wreck site, and Bodies: The Exhibition, displaying preserved human anatomical specimens. Both require separate paid admission.
Is the Luxor a good value hotel on the Strip?
Luxor offers genuine novelty through its pyramid architecture and atrium rooms at budget-to-mid-range pricing. Facilities are mid-tier, but the iconic building, southern Strip location, and two permanent exhibitions make it a popular choice.
What is the Luxor skybeam?
The skybeam is a 315,000-watt vertical light beam projected from the apex of the pyramid at night, visible roughly 250 miles away on clear nights. It is widely cited as the most powerful artificial light beam in the world.
