Las Vegas Strip at night 2011: Luxor, MGM Grand, New York, Mandalay Bay Casinos

All the beautiful casinos on the Southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. MGM Grand, the New York New York, the Excalibur, the magnificient Mandalay bay and finally Luxor.
Luxor is the second largest hotel in Las Vegas (the largest being the MGM Grand Las Vegas) and the third largest in the world. We were there on the opening week end in 1993.
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. In July 2007, owner MGM Resorts International announced plans to thoroughly renovate the Luxor, spending $300 million to remodel 80 percent of Luxor's public areas, removing much of the ancient Egyptian theme and replacing it with more adult-oriented and modern lounges, restaurants and clubs. The laser show in front of the Sphinx and the laser beam shooting out of the Sphinx eyes were phenomenal, I had made movie footages of the laser shows but they were so low res that it was not worth attaching to this high definition video.

The Great Sphinx of Giza and the phenomenal Luxor Sky Beam (The Luxor Lightbeam) appear in many (if not all) images of Las Vegas, from films to Computer Games.
