Search of the Obelisk

This is a two part mini version of both Universal's Backdraft and Back To The Future's ride. It is a "simulation" ride so you have to pretend that you are part of an archaeological tour of an ancient mine, you go down this tunnel then you embark on a very short backdraft-like stairwell fall down the mine shaft, after that you go to a "Back to Future" type simulation ride where we were chasing a villain through a hover craft that flew through a mine on a movie screen. The screen made it look like we were twirling and was actually fun. The admission was $10...not a bad way to spend some time away from the casino's.

The Luxor's brilliant beam of light attracts Las Vegas tourists like moths to the flame. These out-of-towners come to the Egyptian-themed party palace to experience the biggest and best that the City of Sin has to offer.

The Luxor offers top-notch epicurean destinations like TENDER Steak and Seafood, T&T Tacos and Tequila and the renowned Burger Bar. When you're ready to party, the Luxor is home to some of the hottest nightclubs along the Strip including LAX and CatHouse. For live entertainment, look no further than Criss Angel Believe, Fantasy or Carrot Top.
