The Luxor Hotel Building

By Sara Iravedra, Laura Bonhomme and Inés Carvajal.

It is a very famous hotel and casino situated in the southern end of Las Vegas, Nevada (EE.UU). It was renovated in 1998, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and now it has around 4000 bedrooms. It is pyramid-shaped, so it has four equal faces that are triangles, because it seems to be an Egyptian pyramid and all the hotel is decorated for looking that way. The name of the hotel comes from the Egyptian city of Luxor.
It started to be built in March 1992 and it opened in October 1993 (25 years ago) for a crowd of 10.000 people. As we said before, there were many renovations in the hotel. The one of 2007 was because a vehicle exploted in the garage of the building and a man died because the hotel and casino weren ́t evacuated.
We think it is a very large sculpture, very tall and very curious to be a hotel, we think it is a modern sculpture and very interesting, the colors make it very elegant, it is also very curious that it is in the middle of the city.
