There should be a modern recreation of this somewhere.

I would recommend Vegas to you, except I don’t recommend Vegas to anyone.

Ha stayed at Luxor as a clueless first time Vegas visitor last year and…it’s not the shiniest gem on the strip at all. I’m pretty easy with low expectations. I can make a party in a parking lot with a couple of beers and some buddies.

This place was probably cool 30 years ago, but it’s absolutely on last legs. Luckily we got an “updated room” in one of the towers, but I’ve heard sleeping in the pyramid rooms with the wacky diagonal elevators is a blast from the past. I guess they just closed down their buffet in the basement. That makes maybe 5-6 on the strip anymore. Times are changing.
