The 'curse' of the Luxor pyramid

Since the Luxor Hotel & Casino opened in 1993, an urban legend has circulated that the pyramid design and the resort are 'cursed.' The legend grew from reports of construction accidents, early operational incidents, and high-profile mishaps that were covered in local and national media, which some people cite as evidence of a curse. Hotel operators and industry analysts treat these claims as folklore rather than documented causation, and the idea remains debated.
