Luxor
Luxor Las Vegas is a 30-story hotel and casino situated on the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The hotel is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International and has a 120,000-square-foot casino with over 2,000 slot machines and 87 table games. The casino opened in 1993 and was renovated and expanded several times. The resort was announced by Circus Circus Enterprises on November 14, 1991. Known temporarily as "Project X", the pyramid-shaped resort would cost $290 million, and would be built on the Las Vegas Strip, on land located south of the company's Excalibur Hotel and Casino. Groundbreaking took place on April 21, 1992, with the project by then known as "Luxor", after the Egyptian city of the same name. Veldon Simpson was the architect, and Perini Building Company was the general contractor.
Luxor Pyramid:
Waltek, a Cincinnati-based company, provided the metal-and-glass exterior for the pyramid. Standing 30 stories high, the pyramid was one of the largest metal-and-glass projects ever. The pyramid was topped off on July 9, 1993. The Luxor Las Vegas Hotel would compete against two other upcoming resorts, MGM Grand and Treasure Island. All three resorts had a family oriented focus. The resort officially opened at 4 a.m. on October 15, 1993, to a crowd of 10,000 people.
When the pyramid opened, it cost $375 million to build and was the tallest building on the strip. It contained 2,526 rooms and a 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) casino. The resort was financed by "petty cash" earned from other Circus Circus Enterprises properties and did not include any outside financial investors. The hotel's pyramid is similar in size to the Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid of Egypt. When the hotel opened, it featured the world's largest atrium, which has since been surpassed.
