Luxor Hotel
Location: Luxor Hotel Las Vegas
Pool: Yes
Arcade: Yes
Cribs: Yes
Childcare: No
The world's largest pyramid is on The Strip, guarded by the mythical
Sphinx and outlined by ethereal strobe beams which climb the angles of this futuristic
complex. Feel the soothing hands and waters of the Oasis Spa, as you revel in the
hedonistic pleasures of ancient Egypt where pharaohs ruled the fertile Nile Valley
of the sun god Ra. Part the waters in four shimmering pools, shop in an Egyptian
bazaar at the Giza Galleria, and marvel at the groundbreaking multi-sensory entertainment of Blue Man Group.
Accommodations: In the main Luxor hotel pyramid
building, there are 2,526 rooms and suites. All rooms have sloped walls and banks
of windows with views of The Strip and surrounding mountains and a door that opens
to overlook the pyramid's interior atrium. There are 1,950 additional rooms in the
adjacent tower just north of the pyramid. The rooms are accented with wooden furniture
that's etched with Egyptian characters. Many adults come to this hotel for the 100,000
square foot casino but stay and bask in the glories of the Oasis Spa, known for
its relaxing and innovative spa treatments. Kids, however, will love the gigantic
IMAX Theater and the 2-story video arcade, full of today's newest games and some
old favorites as well. The whole family will want to explore the re-creation of
King Tut's tomb.
Dining: The hotel has seven restaurants. Isis, named one of the top 10
gourmet rooms in the U.S. by the "Best of the Best" Restaurant Guide, features the
finest in continental cuisine and special dishes; Sacred Sea Room, the freshest
seafood prepared in an extensive variety of styles from American, Europe, and the
South Pacific; La Salsa, the best Fresh Mex on the Strip; Luxor Steakhouse, serving
USDA Prime Aged Beef; Hamada of Japan offering traditional sushi in a contemporary
setting; Pyramid Cafe, just about anything you want; Papyrus, Cantonese, Szechwan,
and other specialties from the Pacific Rim; Pharaoh's Pheast Buffet, serving breakfast,
lunch, and dinner; Nile Deli, full kosher-style deli with oversized sandwiches for
the hearty appetite.
Fun: The pool complex houses five pools and four spas. You can be pampered
at the Oasis Spa. Pharaoh's Pavilion has a variety of attractions. King Tut's Tomb
and Museum is an accurate reproduction of Howard Carter's 1922 find, often called
the most significant archaeological discovery of modern history. The burial chamber
and treasury room feature more than 500 replicas of mummies, Egyptian furniture,
a chariot, pottery, baskets, jewelry, linens and other artifacts. Other Pavilion
features include Pharaoh's Theater, home of "Midnight Fantasy"; the IMAX Theatre;
"In Search of the Obelisk" motion-simulator ride; and Games of the Gods Arcade.
