LUXOR EVOLVED FULL VERSION FREE UPDATE
Update (12/1/21): We’re hearing rumblings about the potential demolition of Luxor and Excalibur again. If we hear any more Luxor or Excalibur demolition rumors, you’ll hear them here first. The casino reopened on June 25, 2020, after being shut down for three months. In the meantime, it’s probably a good time to visit Luxor and Excalibur again. Luxor always seems happy to see us, if you get our drift. While Luxor may be a sentimental favorite of Las Vegas visitors, it’s probably time to call it a day, especially if it means a shiny new casino resort could take its place. It’s worth noting the beam has been dimmed in recent years to cut costs. Were Luxor to be demolished, Las Vegas would lose not only one of its most distinctive hotels, but also its renowned Luxor Sky Beam, one of the strongest beams of light in the world. With age comes any number of challenges, and for years there have been rumors Luxor has had structural problems.

Those who think Luxor’s time has come may have a point. Luxor opened on October 15, 1993, 26 years ago, when Las Vegas was much more focused on attracting families. Other hotels that have de-themed include Monte Carlo (now Park MGM), Treasure Island (now TI), Imperial Palace (now Linq) and MGM Grand (its “Wizard of Oz” roots are tough to spot now). It’s possible the COVID-19 shutdown has paved the way for what’s to come for Luxor and Excalibur. Our sources say company officials have discussed demolition of both Luxor and Excalibur for at least five years, but have been unable to proceed due to union contracts. Many changes have already been made at Luxor to move away from its original theme, but it’s virtually impossible to re-imagine a massive pyramid. We’re inclined to think this rumor has legs.ĭe-theming casinos in Las Vegas has happened fairly frequently in recent years, as the perception of themes has evolved from cool to kitschy (or downright tacky) over time. The company has long felt its hands are tied by the distinctive, but limiting, Egyptian theme. While no official announcement has been made, a decision to bring down Luxor during a period of weak demand due to the COVID-19 crisis could make sense for the resort’s owner, MGM Resorts.

An iconic Las Vegas hotel, Luxor, could be facing demolition if industry chatter is to be believed.
