Fun Facts
Luxor's "Beam of Light," the most powerful in the world shines from the top of the pyramid, at 40 times the candle power of a strong searchlight (40 billion candle power versus one billion candle power). The light beam is visible at cruising altitude from Los Angeles, approximately 250 miles away, on a clear night.
Egyptians believed that their souls would climb up the sides of the pyramid and ride the beam to the after life, which sparked the idea for creating the beam at the Luxor.
Eleven acres of glass make up the sides of the pyramid. The elevators run at an angle of a ski-lift, 39 degrees up each corner of the pyramid. Nine Boeing 747s could be stacked in Luxor's atrium -- containing 29 million cubic feet.
