Luxor Hotel, Las Vegas
Given the current turmoil in Egypt, odds are you probably won’t be visiting that country any time soon. Don’t worry! There’s a very safe, very gaudy alternative to flying all the way to the middle east and seeing the Great Pyramids. It’s in Las Vegas and it’s called the Luxor Hotel. I’m sure Pharaohs are turning over in their pyramids with this Egyptian-themed casino hotel. The massive black pyramid houses the hotel rooms and the slot machines. And the many Starbucks’. And a food court inexplicably themed as a modern city skyline. And a theater that has a striptease show and Carrot Top. Yes, none of this may seem Egyptian, but it’s in a pyramid, and for Vegas, that’s all that matters.
