Luxor Sky Beam visible from space

The Luxor Hotel & Casino projects a powerful vertical 'Sky Beam' from its pyramid; the beam is produced by 39 xenon lamps and is among the brightest concentrated beams of light used by a building. NASA astronauts and other observers have reported seeing the Sky Beam from space, and it is frequently noted in technical and tourism coverage of the Las Vegas Strip. The beam is a distinctive nighttime landmark and has been the subject of press attention regarding its intensity and visibility.
