Thousands of years ago, the Pharaohs reigned supreme over a limitless playground of lavish indulgences, fine food and drink, and the best entertainment the world had to offer. Today, this luxurious lifestyle lives on within the walls of the great pyramid at Luxor Resort & Casino. At Luxor, travelers once again encounter rare earthly pleasures at one of the world's most celebrated resorts.

Voted one of the top 50 resorts in the United States by the discriminating readers of Gourmet Magazine, Luxor offers an unparalleled travel and vacation experience.

Scrupulously researched for cultural and historical accuracy, Luxor is rich in authentic Egyptian ornamentation and detailed artistry, while featuring elegant, modern accommodations and amenities worthy of Queen Nefertiti herself.

Luxor's great onyx-hued pyramid is a marvel of modern construction, and has become a distinctive landmark in the city of lights. Rising 350 feet into the desert sky and crowned with the world's brightest beam of light, Luxor guides travelers across the desert toward Las Vegas from miles away. In designing the massive structure, Luxor architect Dan Juba of Las Vegas applied basic tenets of Egyptian architecture to provide a truthful encounter with ancient Egypt.

"Our goal was to replicate the essence of Egyptian architecture on a grand scale," Juba said. "Using simple shapes and strict geometric organization about a central axis, the new twin towers complement the dynamic pyramid and were designed to allow for unimpeded views from the majority of hotel rooms."

Built in 1993, Luxor added the twin towers in 1998, creating the spectacular Luxor Resort & Casino as it stands today. The second largest hotel in the United States with 4,408 richly-appointed guest rooms and suites, Luxor boasts the world's largest atrium, measuring 29 million cubic feet.

When the readers of Gourmet Magazine recently selected Luxor Resort & Casino as one of the top 50 hotels in the United States, they did much of their balloting with their palates.
