* Luxor in Vegas *

Not being a big fan of gambling or that part of Vegas, I do love and admire some of the elaborate casinos and attractions. Yeah, this pyramid-shaped structure looks big on the outside, but it seems even larger on the inside. All the rooms are on the outside walls with a huge open area on the inside, with lots of shops and attractions. Instead of elevators, they have what they call, "inclinators", which move up and down, at an angle, at the four corners of the building. 

The light, shining from top is said to be the world's brightest beam of light and can be seen from many miles away.
