The distinctive black glass pyramid at the south end of the Strip known as the Luxor shines the world's strongest light beam into the Las Vegas sky every night. The hotel is named for the ancient Egyptian capital city formerly known as Thebes.

Hotel rooms line the outside of the sloping pyramid, while "inclinators" carry guests up and down. The Las Vegas branch of LA nightclub LAX has attracted a younger, hipper crowd to the Luxor. At 26,000 square feet, it's not quite as big as Pure at Caesars Palace, but still measures up as one of the largest Las Vegas nightclubs, sprawling over two floors.

Dining options range from Asian specialties at Fusia, or more meaty portions at Tender Steak and Seafood. An edgier option is Tacos and Tequila, which serves up everyone's Mexican favorites.

An upscale indoor mall, Mandalay Place, connects the Luxor to Mandalay Bay, while a tram frequently shuttles passengers between the Luxor and its next door neighbors Mandalay Bay and The Excalibur.
