We are almost to the number one spot! In the runners-up position at number 2 of the top 5 country themed hotels in Las Vegas we have the Egyptian themed hotel and casino, Luxor.
#5 ASIA DEPOSITIONS: Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas
#4 CARIBBEAN DEPOSITIONS: Tropicana, Las Vegas
#3 OCEANIA DEPOSITIONS: The Mirage, Las Vegas
#2 MIDDLE EAST: Luxor
- The hotel is named after the city of Luxor (ancient Thebes) in Egypt and is the sixth-largest hotel in Las Vegas and the ninth-largest in the world.
- Ground was broken for the Luxor in March 1992 and the resort officially opened at 4 AM on October 13, 1993, to a crowd of 10,000 people.
- The main pyramid-shaped structure was built at 75 percent to scale of the Great Pyramid of Giza. There are also two additional ziggurat-inspired black-glass towers.
- The entrance between the two towers is framed by stone columns that replicate those found at the ancient Karnak Temple Complex, north of Luxor, Egypt.
- When the resort opened, it featured the Nile River Tour which was a river ride that carried guests to different parts of the pyramid and passed by pieces of ancient artwork on a river that encircled the casino. The casino also featured King Tut’s Tomb and Museum, a duplicate of King Tutankhamen’s tomb as found in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt.
