Luxor Las Vegas Resort, Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a city that constantly surprises and captivates you, even when you believe you've witnessed it all. One such remarkable discovery awaits at the Luxor Las Vegas Resort, Hotel, and Casino.
Standing tall at 30 stories, this architectural marvel takes the form of a pyramid, constructed with steel and adorned with sleek black glass. At its apex, a brilliant spotlight illuminates the night sky, creating the brightest beam known to mankind. Named after the historic town of Luxor in Egypt, this establishment offers a plethora of exquisite amenities.
Within its walls, you'll find an impressive collection of 4,407 luxurious hotel rooms, ensuring a comfortable and lavish stay for every guest. Additionally, the casino spans an expansive 11,000 square meters and houses over 1,100 video and slot machines, gaming tables, a race and sports book, as well as a poker room.
The atrium of Luxor Las Vegas is a bustling hub, hosting an array of shops, restaurants, bars, captivating shows, cozy lounges, and vibrant clubs. Furthermore, there are excellent facilities available such as a health club, spa, beauty salon, and a refreshing swimming pool.
One of the intriguing attractions found within is the "Bodies...The Exhibition." It showcases 13 whole-body specimens in different poses, displaying over 260 organs. Detailed explanations accompany each organ, revealing the consequences of neglect or misuse, like smoking's impact on the lungs or the damage caused by overeating, drinking, or lack of exercise. The bodies and organs are preserved using the polymer preservation technique, which replaces tissue water with silicone. The exhibition also features skeletal structures and intricate blood vessels.
For those seeking a less intense experience, especially after indulging in a delightful meal, there's another exhibition known as "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition." This exhibit narrates the story of the ill-fated "unsinkable" cruise ship, showcasing authentic artifacts recovered from the depths of the North Atlantic.
Why You Should Visit:
The site is unique both inside and outside, while the exhibitions are informative and honestly remarkable.
