Their cost was estimated to $675 and and the rooms included there totalled 2,000. Half a decade after the grand opening of Luxor casino resort, a theatre and two additional towers were built. It contained a total of 2,526 rooms on a space of 100,000 square feet.Īn interesting thing concerning the resort is fact that its financing did not include any outside investors, but was accomplished by using so-called “petty cash” generated by other properties of circus Circus Enterprises. At the time of the complex' establishment, the world-known pyramid was the tallest building situated on the strip. The work on the Luxor casino resort started in April 1991, and two years later – on October 15th, 1993, the resort officially opened. The hotel of the complex is known not only for being the fourth-largest hotel located in Las Vegas and the seventh largest in the world, but also for being named after the city of Luxor in the ancient Egypt.
The ancient Egyptian theme of the complex, on the other hand, is another feature that has made it noticeable, as well as the more modern and adult-oriented theme of the ultra chic bars and lounges.
