Luxor Starts Construction to lose Egyptian Theme

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

The Luxor is tired and now is getting a $300 Million face lift, body lift, tummy tuck etc… The Luxor may be changing its name to “The Pyramid”, which I do not like, but who am I?

The RA Nightclub is now called LAX and will be run by PURE Management.

Two more Clubs will open this fall called Flight and Cathouse

Along with all of that an Ultrabar called Liquidity which will contain three sperate lounges will also open.

A new Bar Called Aurora will be in the lobby across from the front desk (seems this is a new theme)

The spa will be called Nurture and the pool will be renamed “Restore”.

Well what we need is another Cirque du Soleil and we have got it, in the form of Criss Angel starting in 2008. Also, Criss has been filming his show at the Luxor for the past year.

So Vegas is ever changing its face again, but to keep up it was a good move on MGM’s part to keep current. I have always enjoyed the Luxor’s architecture and its them, but to draw the crowds it was time for a change. I am excited to see what they come up with but sad to see the theme go.

Mindfreak Criss Angel calls the Luxor Home

Monday, September 4th, 2006

Mindfreak Criss Angel now calls the Luxor his home.  He has begun filming his 3rd season of his 26 half-hour shows on A&E.

Criss captivates his audiences with his hypnosis, mentalism and excapes from crazy scenarios.  Criss will shoot the series at various MGM Mirage Properties.

One of the tricks he plans to perform is to float in the light above the Luxor.
