Luxor Silver Strikes & Tokens

The distinctive black glass pyramid at the south end of The Strip known as the Luxor shines the world's strongest light beam into the Las Vegas sky every night. The hotel is named for the ancient Egyptian capital city formerly known as Thebes. But the casino's interior is undergoing renovations to cast a more modern, less Egyptian, feel to the resort. Hotel rooms line the outside of the sloping pyramid while "inclinators" carry guests up and down. The Las Vegas branch of LA nightclub LAX has attracted a younger, hip crowd to the Luxor. At 26,000 square feet, it's not quite as big as Pure at Caesars Palace, but still measures up as one of the largest Las Vegas nightclubs, sprawling out over two floors. Dining options range from Asian specialties at Fusia, or more meaty portions at Luxor Steakhouse. A hipper option is Company American Bistro, the third such restaurant in Las Vegas opened by Pure Management Group.
