Luxor
Las Vegas is a hotel you can stay at for great rates. Geekazine and the
Tech Podcast Network
stayed at the Luxor in 2011 for
CES. Luxor is the pyramid in
Las Vegas and is most noticable as you fly in the evening (the beam of
light). The Luxor opened in 1993 and holds over 4,000 rooms.
Current performers there are Carrot Top and Criss
Angel.
