Thinking of visiting or staying at the Luxor hotel with your kids?
The world's largest pyramid is on The Strip, guarded by the mythical Sphinx and outlined by ethereal strobe beams which climb the angles of this futuristic complex.
Accommodations: In the main Luxor hotel pyramid building, there are 2,526 rooms and suites. All rooms have sloped walls and banks of windows with views of The Strip and surrounding mountains and a door that opens to overlook the pyramid‘s interior atrium. There are 1,950 additional rooms in the adjacent tower just north of the pyramid. Kids will love the gigantic IMAX Theater and the 2-story video arcade, full of today's newest games and some old favorites as well. The whole family will want to explore the re-creation of King Tut's tomb.
Fun: The pool complex houses five pools and four spas. King Tut's Tomb and Museum is an accurate reproduction of Howard Carter's 1922 find, often called the most significant archaeological discovery of modern history. The burial chamber and treasury room feature more than 500 replicas of mummies, Egyptian furniture, a chariot, pottery, baskets, jewelry, linens and other artifacts. Other Pavilion features include Pharaoh's Theater, home of "Midnight Fantasy"; the IMAX Theatre; "In Search of the Obelisk" motion-simulator ride; and Games of the Gods Arcade.
