TODAY, I THOUGHT I WOULD SHOW A FEW PICTURES OF THE LUXOR HOTEL & CASINO.

THE LUXOR OPENED IN OCTOBER OF 1993 WITH 2,526 ROOMS AT A COST OF 375 MILLION DOLLARS. AT THE TIME, IT WAS THE TALLEST BUILDING IN LAS VEGAS. I REMEMBER VISITING LAS VEGAS MONTHS AFTER IT OPENED AND I WAS IN AWE.

WHILE DRIVING INTO TOWN, I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO LAS VEGAS AS WE OBSERVED THE ENORMOUS BLACK PYRAMID FROM MANY MILES AWAY.

I LOVED THE LUXOR BUFFET CALLED “PHAROS FEAST”, ALTHOUGH I THINK THEY CHANGED THE NAME NOW. THEY HAD THE EGYPTIAN THEME EVERYWHERE YOU LOOKED AND I LOVED THAT.

AFTER CHECKING IN, I WOULD GET RID OF MY BAGS AND HEAD DOWN TO THE NILE RIVER BOAT TOUR. IT WOULD TAKE YOU AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE PYRAMID IN A MOAT OF WATER WHILE LOOKING AT THE FAKE EGYPTIAN ARTWORK AND STATUES.

IN 1998, THEY ADDED TWO TOWERS EACH WITH 1,000 ROOMS TO KEEP UP WITH THE HIGH DEMAND OF ROOMS.

I STILL LOVE THE LUXOR. TO THIS DAY, IT HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART AND MY SON REALLY LOVES IT AS WELL—WHO DOESN’T LOVE THE LOOKS OF IT??

UNFORTUNATELY, THE LUXOR HAS GOTTEN SO VERY DATED AND I HAVE A HARD TIME SPENDING MUCH TIME INSIDE. I CAN ONLY STAY IN THE TOWERS SINCE THE PYRAMID IS SO SMOKY.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY LUXOR CASINO CHIPS.....
