Viva Las Vegas ! - Grand Canyon Adventure Part 1

I flew into Vegas on Thursday night and caught a cab to the Luxor hotel. The hotel is shaped like a pyramid with an Egyptian theme.

The lobby is a pyramid shaped space inside.


With scaled down statues and free cars to be given away.


And of course, people playing the pokies.


Upstairs they had an oblisik, as well as a small city, urns and two exhibitions, one on the Titanic and the other on human bodies.


And a Sphinix.


There were some familiar and unfamiliar eateries. This was taken at 1:15 in the morning !


And there had to be an American flag there somewhere. The rooms are built into the walls of the pyramid and the elevators travel at an angle up the big columns you can see at the top.


And you wonder why Americans are overweight...


Anyone else know what Australia's hottest export is ?? Me either.


I then walked through the tunnel to the casino/hotel next door called Excaliber, which had a medieval theme.


Although I'm pretty sure any castle that they didn't paint their castle like this in medieval times.


New York was right next door.


And the MGM Grand was on the opposite corner.


There were walkways over the road all the way down The Strip, I guess that was cheaper than all the lawsuits from the drunks who were hit by cars. This is from the walkway between New York and MGM Grand looking north down the strip. The lit tower just right of centre is the Effiel tower, of course.

And there had to be a stupid sign to finish with.
