A giant black glass pyramid reaching 36 stories into the Las Vegas sky is the Vegas version of the glamour days of the mighty Egyptian Empire. Inside the pyramid is the world's largest open atrium with 29 million cubic feet of volume, a truly awe inspiring sight. At the apex of the great Vegas pyramid is the world's brightest light beam comprised of 45 high output Xenon lights sending a distinctive narrow beam into the night sky. A light so powerful it can be seen from anywhere in the valley and some nights as far away as Kingman, Arizona, it can even be seen from outer space as reported by astronauts orbiting earth. Welcome to the Luxor Resort and Casino. The Luxor Hotel has 4,407 rooms making it the third largest hotel in the world. All of the rooms are oversized and appointed in an expected Egyptian motif.
