Enjoy Las Vegas!

Las Vegas is known as the world's neon playground! There is countless number of casinos and hotels in this "man-made mirage".I'd like to pay attention to one of the most popular hotel

 <<Luxor>>.

Luxor is the 30-story hotel, which is operated by MGM Resorts International, features a 120,000 sq ft (11,000 m²) casino floor that includes over 2,000 slot machines and 87 table games.

It has a new, highly modernized and contemporary design and contains a total of 4,400 rooms, including 442 suites, lining the interior walls of a pyramidstyle tower and within twin 22-story ziggurat towers that were built as later additions.

The hotel is named after the city of Luxor (ancient Thebes) in Egypt. Luxor is the second largest hotel in Las Vegas (the largest being the MGM Grand) and the third largest in the world. As of 2010, the Luxor has a 4 Key rating from the Green Key Eco-Rating Program, which evaluates "sustainable" hotel operations.

Luxor Las Vegas includes 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m²) of convention space, four swimming pools and whirlpools, a wedding chapel, Nurture Spa and Salon and 29 retail stores. Luxor is also connected to the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino through The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, a 310-foot (94 m)- long retail sky bridge with retailers such as Urban Outfitters, minus5 Ice Lounge & Lodge and a Nike Golf store.

Restaurants within the hotel consist of TENDER steak & seafood, T&T, Pyramid Café, MORE The Buffet and the Backstage Deli. There is also a Food Court on the Atrium level which contains a Quiznos, McDonald’s, Nathan's Famous, Little Caesars Pizza, Swensen's Ice Cream, and Starbucks Coffee.

The most specific thing about Luxor is the Sky Beam.It is the strongest beam of light in the world. Using computer designed, curved mirrors to collect the light from 39 Xenon lamps and focus them into one intense, narrow beam. The Sky Beam is visible up to 250 miles away to an airplane at cruising altitude, and is clearly visible from outer space.The Luxor Lightbeam appears in many (if not all) images of Las Vegas, from films to Computer Games. This is the case even if the Pyramid cannot be seen.
