Luxor Hotel pyramid and Sky Beam

The Luxor Hotel opened in 1993 as a 30-story glass pyramid and is a distinctive example of large-scale themed architecture on the Las Vegas Strip. The hotel features the Luxor Sky Beam, a concentrated vertical light beam emanating from the pyramid's apex that is among the most powerful and visible man-made beams in the world. The pyramid form and massive skylight system make Luxor a widely recognized modern architectural landmark in the city.
