Luxor
The Luxor is one of the older casino complexes and one of the most distinctive, based on an Ancient Egyptian theme. That theme includes a dramatic light beam that shoots into the sky from the top of a pyramid, and an enormous sphinx. Owned by MGM Resorts International, it has a reputation as one of their most reasonably priced casinos. (3900 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119, United States)
