It probably comes as no surprise to many of you that I have a thing for Ancient Egypt. I first saw King Tut’s exhibit in Ontario in the 70’s, and that was it for me. Since then, I have always been drawn to the art and artifacts of Egypt’s past. To me, nothing can compare – it simply takes my breath away with its beauty.
My dream trip has always been to go to Egypt and see the Pyramids. If I could only have one more trip in my entire life, that is the one I would pick – it is definitely on my list of things to do before I die.
Luxor Pyramid
I guess that is a big part of why I love Las Vegas so much – the Luxor Hotel makes me feel close to fulfilling those travel dreams. The first time we went to Vegas, we stayed at the Luxor, and we’ve stayed there many times since.
Golden Luxor Statue
I get my Egyptian “fix” each time I stay at the Luxor – there are always new things to look at, every time you go – it is constantly changing. Last time we were there, there was word that they were going to phase out the Egyptian-themed shops etc., which doesn’t seem to make much sense. We wondered if they may be thinking of closing the hotel or something – after all, why would an Egyptian-themed Hotel scale down the Egyptian things in it?
Fabulous Gold Egyptian Mirror
Not only is the hotel decorated with fabulous Statues etc., but the rooms are furnished much in the same manner – I always wish I could commission someone to re-create these amazing tables, chairs etc. for me.
