- Come join us for a full #tour of #Luxor on the #Las #Vegas #Strip! This was filmed in August 2020! Recently there have been rumors about the possible closure and #demolition of this property! milestomemorie...
While I don't necessarily think the rumors are 100% true, this hotel does struggle so I thought it was worth touring to show you why it's a true icon. From an iconic building to incredible theming, Luxor might just surprise you! I know by the end you'll have seen something at Luxor that you've never seen before! Also stick around for the section in the hotel stairs! As you might expect they can't go straight up and down, but you'll have to watch to find out how cool that area is! And yes we'll ride the sideways elevators too!

I hope Luxor isn't torn down. I love seeing the pyramid when flying in...classic Vegas icon.
Agreed!
I was a kid from the So-Cal that often went to Vegas in the mid 90's, mann... the themeparks and themed Casino's made it so much fun going.
Same! I miss MGM Grand Adventures so much.
Dude, if I was rich, I'd buy the whole damn thing. It's too beautiful to demolish...
I really like the themed resorts from the 90s, where every building is unique. Now all the places look like a fancy high rise from any major city in the world, Vegas has lost a bit of its uniqueness; need to bring back some neon lights again. Loved Luxor as a kid, they had a great arcade back then.
I agree! I understand the move towards more modern generic properties, but I don think there is room for theming in casinos. I wouldn't be surprised if coming out of this whole situation that Vegas finds a whole different way to reinvent itself. Maybe themed casinos will make a comeback!
I really liked the "old" casinos of the 70s. Top music, comedy and burlesque shows. It was elegant and classy back then, people actually got dressed up when they went out and the strip was wide open and free to speed down past all the limo's with the top down. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Jerry Lewis, Dianna Ross every big name in entertainment on the marquis.
Boycott all MGM properties if they tear the great Luxor down!!
Let's hope it doesn't come to that!
The Luxor can never get too old. It’s a master piece. I love this hotel so much. I visit the place every time I go to Vegas.
Long live Luxor! 😂
Nice Job!! The walk through the stair well was way cool!..now my story..I Love The Luxor!! It's My Home In Vegas. I've been a guest there since '94..and it was really something to experience in the 90s..she was a 5 star resort..my last visit to Vegas was Aug 2019..and I can't wait to return..And Yes..she a little run down and showing her age..but I love it..it holds a special place in my heart. There's been a lot of changes..some Good and some Bad..it's gone through 3 or 4 remodels..but it's not going to be torn down any time soon. Thanks For The Tour.
Thanks for watching!
vegas is one of my favorite places to travel to and I have stayed at the luxor at least 2 times and I soooo enjoyed it I love the theme of the luxor and the decor is such a spectacular visual on the strip.
Thanks for watching!
I love Luxor, they shouldn't have de-Egypt it, awesome design
Yeah they’ve taken a lot away but thankfully there is still a lot there to enjoy!
What is changed?
@@worldofdamys3716 the pool where those cement slabs are in the middle use to have all palm trees it was so much better looked like you were in another place. There was more statues and stuff. they had Nefertiti lounge . The buffet was called pharaoh's feast buffet. the stores by the walkway to Excalibur had big fountains with big statues looks so cool. big talking camels. the carpets and stuff in the actually casino had more Egyptian theme. the food court was so cool looked like you were in an Cairo marketplace. awesome Egyptian restaurants. Isis, sacred sea room, papyrus. They had a museum with artifacts and tombs and stuff was so cool to see.
@@deetampa6785 Why was it removed?
@@chownful they made it all more modern and less themed I guess. I miss how it all use to be. I still like luxor but It was better I gotta find link of the pool with the trees. it was nice you still got to sit on the ledge and the trees would be behind you.
Stayed there up to and including New Year's Eve 2005, so saw the fireworks..and got engaged!
Living in Las Vegas i just love seeing the light of the Luxor and how its the heart of Las vegas. Las Vegas would be nothing without it.
Agreed!
Seriously, nothing?! Like there’d be no reason whatsoever to visit Vegas??
@@douglasjaeger1559 Just a saying, but indeed Vegas wouldn't be the same. No doubt it would still have a lot of appeal.
I agree. The hotel is still beautiful but like anything open to the public, it needs some tlc. Losing the theme would be a total shame. The themes are what differentiate the properties and create cool memories.
It's sad how they've un-Egyptianed the place! The Sphinx, a few statues and the shape alone are the only things that connect it to the name. The Egyptian-heavy theme was so cool in 2003 when I went for my honeymoon.
I stayed there shortly after it opened. I loved the reconstruction of Tut's tomb. Also the Nile river inside was quite unique. Definitely needs sprucing up now but one more unique thing in Vegas that will probably disappear. Thanks for the vlog.
King Tut's tomb lives!!!!
It's in the Vegas Natural history museum on north Las Vegas Blvd.
I didn’t know that! That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! So much lost but a lot still there. I miss the Nile River boat ride.
@@Milestomemories When MGM decided to dump Tut's Tomb they gave it to the Vegas Natural History Museum. No doubt with a significant tax write off.
I always wonder what happened to all the pirate art work from the Treasure Island when MGM sanitized it.
My first crazy Vegas party experience was at the Luxor at RA. 20yrs ago! What a great time!!!
Take my kids to the Luxor buffet every time we visit Vegas. It's magical and has great food.
I haven't eaten there in many years! Thanks for sharing that info!
I have stayed at Luxor many times and when I can get back there will stay at Luxor again. Even when I was there for a conference off strip, I made my way to the Aurora bar for some drinks. Whatever structural problems the pyramid has can be fixed, please don't tear this icon down!
Love the Luxor. Beautiful architecture and always a fun place to visit. Relaxing swimming pool with fantastic hosts
It really is!
The fact Aaliyah - Rock The Boat in the background. 🖤❤️🙌🏾
I like staying at the Luxor in the cooler months. The issue with Pyramid rooms is that you MUST keep the window shades closed 24/7 during the hot months. Even then the A/C cannot keep the rooms cool enough.
Oh wow I hadn't heard that. I have heard of defects in the building so that isn't a huge surprise.
i love the luxor. was the first hotel i ever stayed at in Vegas. great ambiance. truly unique
Definitely a unique place and one that needs to stick around! Thanks Tony.
I love the Luxor. My very 1st trip to Vegas was in 1992. My friends and I stayed at a run down hotel called “the hacienda”, right next door to the Luxor that was almost completed. While we were there they were painting the sphinxs famous headdress. Little did I know that the hacienda was about to be torn down and be replaced by Mandalay Bay.. Great memories.
Nice little bit of history you stayed in unknowingly. Hacienda’s time had passed but it had a nice history too. The 90s changed Vegas so much.
Mobility Scooters have become a nuisance on the strip due to its "coolness" and lazy factor among the ABLE young people using them
Admittedly I'm not a fan.
My sister and I have been to Las Vegas, a few times now, and we have never been over to the Luxor, but you can bet on next years run "God willing" we will take the time to make a trip over to this gorgeous hotel, never knew Luxor was that beautiful, cant wait...... stay safe Vegas see you in a little more than 365 days and counting..... Windsor, ON Canada p.s. thank you for a view
Thanks Pamela!
Great informative video I love vegas, if they demolish this property the vegas strip wont ever be the same, its a beautiful iconic building that no other has on the strip..
I agree!
I was just watching the video of them building this incredible casino so to hear you say it could be torn down was jarring to say the least.
Thankfully they recently announced a room renovation so hopefully that means Luxor is safe for awhile.
Thanks for the tour of the Luxor. I've been there many times but have never seen some of the areas you walked through. The atrium reminds me of the Contemporary Resort Hotel in Disney World.
I can definitely see the comparison to Contemporary!
Luxor pyramid is the FIRST thing i see driving in from California on that long desert stretch. Especially at nite. Very iconic for me. Please don't tear it down.
Agreed!
It's amazing the access that you have. Most Vegas bloggers I have been getting shut down by security. These videos are great
Glad you like them!
1966 (my first visit) to now. I have witnessed the extravagant, decadent rise of Las Vegas during the peak of American wealth and power. Pray that it lasts a little longer. Like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and many others, it shall decline and be a spectacle to the world.
Indeed it has changed so much. Let's hope Las Vegas stays relevant for decades to come, but I suppose decline is always inevitable.
The pyramid rooms are rough.I like starting at Mandalay bay and walking through the luxor and Excalibur . Can't wait to get back to Vegas
I love the rooms at Mandalay Bay. Pretty big and very nice bathrooms. Delano is even better. Definitely a step up over Luxor!
Love watching Las Vegas hotel tours during this pandemic. Just much different than normal times and interesting.
Thanks for watching!
There is actually a FASCINATING book about the building and early history of the Luxor called SUPER CASINO by Pete Earley...Very well worth reading
I'll check it out! Thanks for the info.
Why would they tear that place down? It is unique and should not be torn down!
I agree!
Honestly we stay there every time we go to Vegas it’s our favorite by a long shot.
That's awesome! I think the rooms are due for a refresh, but the price is right at Luxor and it's a unique place to stay for sure.
Great video..the best ive seen on my favorite Las Vegas hotel..have stayed there 12 times in the last 5 years..would be so sad to see it go, hopefully only rumors..
Thanks again!
Oh and the sideways elevators are called "inclinators"
Yes they are! I couldn't think of the word when doing the commentary. 😂 Thanks for watching!
I personally appreciate you taking us into that building and making us feel like we are physically there. Thanks.
I remember when those pads in the middle of the pool had landscaping. I want to say they had palm trees. Before the food court was remodeled, it had Swenson's ice cream, Little Caesar's, and I think it had a McDonald's. I also remember the space containing the Bodies exhibit also being the 2 level Games of the Gods arcade from SEGA.
I stayed at the Luxor in 2016 for a wedding. Many of the elevators were out of service to our floor, which became a problem when they had a fire in one of their kitchens. They asked us to remain in our hotel rooms and not evacuate. The alarm remained on all night as we waiting in our rooms. Then the alarm came back on several times in the early morning for no reason, followed by apology announcements. It was an awkward stay for sure!
Great video! I agree overall its really a fun place and I hope it stays around longer for sure.
You stayed, in Your room? Shame on You, don't question fires ever
comfeefort Shame on me? Clearly you haven’t been located in a massive pyramid during a fire. 😂
Loved this video. I stayed at the Luxor in April of 2018. The sideways elevators gave me a little anxiety, but I definitely enjoyed my visit.
Thanks Brent! The inclinators are fun but definitely a different experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
I would be very sad to Luxor go- it has great potential. And would cost a lot less to properly revamp it than build something else.
I agree. There are a lot of cool things they could do with it.
love the Luxor hotel, we have stayed there a few times, regards Helen from Sydney Australia
This was a great video, nice behind the scenes. Never thought about the stairs to view, how they were built. Very cool.
Thanks so much!
They invested a lot of many in the new signage outside of the theater and the lighting around and on the Pyramid so I doubt they would close it. I do see it being sold to Caesar’s or something but I think the property got sold to the company that owns the cosmopolitan. As for the theming, it is one of the last made heavily themed casinos on the strip.
They did spend a lot on the signage, but that was awhile ago. You are correct that they just recently completed an overhaul of the side lights on the pyramid. They look fantastic BTW! As for theming, it is one of the last to still have theming, but it was actually one of the earlier themed casinos. Following Luxor (plus MGM Grand and Treasure Island which all opened within a couple of months of each other) you had an explosion of themed casinos including Monte Carlo, NYNY, Bellagio, Palazzo, Venetian, Paris, Aladdin/Planet Hollywood for example.
I inly stay at the Luxor. Don't tear it down and shy should they? It is unique.
Your video style reminds of Retail Archeology, and your vocal style reminds of Mr. Mobile.
I definitely think you should do a collaboration with Retail Archeology. He lives in AZ, and regularly goes to LV.
Good work!
Thanks! I’ll check the out!
Love his channel too! Resistance is futile. 🖖🏼
i hope the rumors are false .i hate to see it torn down. its such a nice building.
I agree! Thanks Jamie!
This was brilliant I'm from the Uk and visited Vegas three years ago, I really wish I'd watched this video prior to my trip as there was so much I missed.
Glad you enjoyed it Steve! Thanks for watching and I hope you can get back here at some point to see everything you missed!
I stayed there 3 or 4 summers ago when the temp was higher than average. Not sure if that was the reason or not but my room never cooled off. Others in my group had the same issues.
Ugh that's the worst! I had never heard that about Luxor, but it doesn't surprise me given the age. I remember even a couple of years ago the internet was hard wired and so slow. Thankfully they finally did away with that! :)
Thanks for doing such a great job with our hotel I work there 23 years and I love it and I appreciate this look that you given for everyone to see how great it is!
Wow this means a lot! I’m so glad you liked the video Ginger!
Luxor and Excalibur DEFINITELY needs to be torn down. They can't update/remodel the 2 hotels and remove the theme feature. I constantly hear complaints from my customers about the rooms and how bad the food is at both places. The land is now in prime location to the stadium too. It's time for a change
Who knows maybe themed casinos will make a comeback. The Luxor rooms are small, but they could make them a bit nicer. It's never going to be a luxury hotel, but there are a plethora of 4 and 5 star hotels already. No doubt both properties need help, but I'd say Excalibur is less of a loss. And I say that as someone who has memories of playing on the midway there when in 1990 when it opened. No doubt the properties are going to see major changes in the coming years if they avoid demolition.
Great video you covered everything. It will be a sad day if they got rid of this iconic casino known worldwide. Yet again with all the known casinos and having their name changes pretty soon it will not be Vegas like we all knew. The new names don't mean anything and don't have history value.👍😎🤩👽
Thanks Steve! This place is definitely from a different time and I think that's a good thing. Vegas has largely become more generic over time and I think there will still be a place for a place like Luxor with its history and unique architecture.
They closed off access to the pool area from that walkway a few years ago.
Thanks! I’m glad I’m not crazy. Such a strange place for the pool entrance. Of course a walkway over the pool is pretty strange too!
I've been curious how they redesigned the main floor area after the removal of the boat ride. I remember you had to take the boat ride, because THAT was the entrance to the hotel.
I don't remember 100%, but some of the areas were just boarded up or built over while others were torn out and redone. This is a point of view video that helps to give a better perspective of how it went around. th-cam.com/video/iiuijUuwvFA/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_title
Loved the video. I almost made it to LV for the first time in April 2020. Stilling hoping to get to visit one day. If and when life gets back to normal.
It will be worth the wait!
Fascinating, well done.
I have stayed there before and loved it!
...I had heard 4 a long time now, that it was going 2 be rebranded as "The PYRAMID", I rather they do That than tear it down!.. 😎🍸♠️🎲♥️♣️♦️
Great Video. I love your channel and I have subscribed.
Thanks so much!
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I STAYED THERE TWO WEEKS AGO IN THE TOWER KING SUIT AND DID FINALLY GO RIDE THE ELEVATOR ON THE PYRIMID SIDE FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND THE VIEW AND THAT WAS AWESOME BUT I DIDN'T THINK TO WALK THE OUTSIDE AREA AND TO CHECK OUT THE POOL🤦🤷... THANKS TO YOU, I WILL ON MY OCTOBER VISIT! I USUALLY STAY AT THE WYNN AND COSMO BUT I WILL SAY I DEFINITELY LOVED THE LUXOR MORE THEN THE COSMO, THE WYNN IS JUST MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE BUT THE LUXOR IS ALSO A FUN AND GREAT PLACE FOR ME!! THANKS AGAIN, JUST SUBBED😊
Thanks Olga! Yeah Luxor is a different experience compared to Wynn or Cosmo, but it definitely has a place and a much better price! Enjoy your trip in October!
We stayed at Luxor the Thanksgiving weekend after 9/11. I loved it. I haven’t stayed in it since then as I like to give the other grand hotels a try. God I hope they don’t close it and tear it down.
Me too! Thanks Joe.
yrs ago Luxor had a sports book lounge for sports betting w/individual tv monitors to watch games plus the MSNBC chnl for getting stock prices like if you were a day trader...anyway if you closed your eyes for about 5 seconds you had security on you...Luxor was notorious about this where a tourist was a nobody...
Great walk through Shawn! Once again, great historical perspective, through property inspection, I love the high vantage point videos.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing what you put up next.
Thanks Steve!
Yes that was the entrance
Love the content man! Very informative
Thanks EJ!
How do these massive places survive without people? Sad, so sad.
It's getting busier but it has definitely been a tough year.
Luxor is definitely an icon but 90’s era resorts seem to be headed toward extinction. Perhaps it could be repurposed as an amusement & attractions facility.
I do think it will stick around. It probably needs more love than it will get in the near term though.
well, MGM did sell bellagio but luxor is too iconic to be torn down BUT the legendary sands was torn down. hey, its las vegas. resorts come and go and when you think about it, theres not much more space to build new resorts.
I hope it doesnt go! I helped build it :(
I definitely hope it sticks around a long time as well. What part did you work on?
Always stay in Luxor but have missed loads so glad I watched your video. Can anyone access the stairs as I hate elevators?
Yes I believe so, but technically I think they are supposed to be for emergency use only. Not 100% sure, but you can access them from any hotel floor.
Structural issues with the elevators called inclinators.
Wow!😳 those stairways look more like a construction site!
Great video. And even though I've been to Vegas many many times, I learned a lot. Thank you.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
was just there and it was jammed, altho very confusing
Esse vídeo é maravilhoso , este empreendimento deveria ser patrimônio histórico de Las Vegas junto com muitos outros . Las Vegas e outras cidades que tem como foco o Entretenimento Adulto e seu turismo devem lutar bravamente para manter sua história , seus negócios e encontrar um meio de sobreviver de forma sustentável para outras gerações e assim multiplicar toda essa grandiosidade .
100%. 👏
Love the Luxsur the bar staff dave and Mike look after you and make your stay 10-10 👍
When i last went by Luxor a couple years ago, i found it dated and kinda dirty! the carpeting looked like it hadn't been cleaned in 25 years nor vacuumed!
But just think about how beautiful the carpet must have looked 25 years ago when it was new! 🤣 The place has seen better days, but it has a ton of unique elements that I hope save it from the chopping block. I'd love to see some money spent on bringing it to a nicer level.
the dirtiest casino I remember was the old Union Plaza downtown...it smelled like an ashtray..lol
@@mikepatrick5909 Seems like the other hotels around it down there are all like that.. dated, dirty! Excalibur, new York ny, Tropicana, luxor! all dirty and dated!
@@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor I see where the Rio is now closed...Went there when it first opened...first class all the way..
I stayed there August 12-17, and plan to return during Thanksgiving weekend. It was great, not too crowded, and my favorite part : they have the classic "Alien" Slot Machine there in the big cabinet format! ^_^ The only other place I saw one on the Strip was New York New York, but they only have it in the High Limit Slots section..
Interesting! I used to always love those "Big Bertha" slots back in the day. Something fun about playing an oversized machine.
I agree with you, the Luxor is one of the few LV properties where the allure of seeing/touching its (still impressive) structural engineering is a driving force for visitation. Your view up the side really was impressive and reminds me of what I always did when I lived in New York in the 80s, which was to pause at the corner of the World Trade Center tower where it met the sidewalk. . . and look up. They say that tags you as "a tourist" but that was nonsense: I never ever tired of that view. Glad I found your channel. I am enjoying these tours. Thank you!
Man I wish I could do that with the World Trade Center. My first trip to New York was in 2007 and unfortunately at that time there was only a hole in the ground as they were beginning to build the underground portion of Freedom Tower. I'm glad you enjoy the tours and my perspective.
Went 2 times in Vegas, in 2007 and 2009. We stayed at the luxor the first time and new York New York the second. I loved our stay in luxor and the pool area is great, I remember a fun thing during our stay, it was a violent monsoon storm during our first night and it was literally raining in the room we called the lobby and they difficulty believed us. But the next morning one guy of the service came check the room and hardly believed it but the floor was damped. So they changed us to a better room without any charge and gave my money back for the convenience. It was a nice stay.
Cheers from France
Haha yikes! They really did build that building on the cheap. Leaky windows huh? Doesn't surprise me! The Adventuredome (same company and timeframe) has leaked pretty much since it was built.
Hydrate Vegas: This program provides free water to keep people hydrated and healthy. Dehydration is life threatening in Las Vegas, so we work to raise awareness about staying hydrated.
Thanks! It's definitely so important to hydrate while here, especially when drinking alcohol. I don't drink any booze and still end up going through several giant bottles of water from CVS/Walgreens while I am out filming.
Ah, luxor, stay in a room in the pyramid and you will hit your head on the slanted glass trying to look down outside. It's really cool standing on the hallway room balconys looking down with nothing below you. Have been going there since it first opened, my best friend's dad worked on the huge light on the top that could be seen from space. The pyramid had lots of plumbing problems and the foundation started to sink on one side, they ran cables along the side while repairing the foundation. It's a cool unique place to go with a great arcade game room for those who don't want to loose all their money in the casino. It connects to excaliber, but it always seemed cheap over there.
Haha those windows are strange to get used to. I hope they can fix the issues the building has without tearing it out. I also agree the atrium is amazing! Thanks for watching.
We were just there this past weekend, and it was horrible. We booked a pyramid room and moved us to a tower room a supposed upgrade. I swear the room was smaller than what we had booked. Had to ask several times for extra glasses and towels as there was five of us. No blankets on the beds just a couple sheets. Avoid trying to get to your room between 3 and 6 the lines are like standing in line at Disneyland long. Also avoid trying to get down to the casino from 930am to 11am we waited twenty minutes for a free elevator as we were on the 3rd floor. The pool was fine but don't plan on getting a drink as they are using waitresses and it took about 45 minutes to an hour after we were able to order to get our one drink. We were very disappointed as we have stayed here before and have loved it. Sadly don't think we will be staying here again.
Yikes. Sounds terrible. 😔
Enjoyed the video. Yes, Luxor has seen better days when it was more themed. I also keep hearing rumors of Excalibur going away. Last few times I went, it didn't seem like they were really investing into it anymore.
Sadly it seems neither Luxor nor Excalibur get a lot of money or love these days.
It wud be sad if Luxor was torn down. Stayed there in late 90s; special fragrance in hotel room. Everything was Eyptian themed; even the soap bar. The pool hasn't changed
Thankfully some things are the same. So much of the theming in the casino is gone. I agree it would be sad if it was torn down!
Years ago, the last time I was there, the chips had graphics on them like the stonework.
Taking down The Luxor is like taking down Cesar’s or The Strat. It’s not going to be vegas without Luxor and I will boycott MGM properties if they decide to take it down
Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
It's cool looking above but kind of whacky in modern times
It shouldn’t be torn down, but modernized. This new fancy high end theme they do makes literally all hotels the exact same. Luxor is too unique and famous in Vegas to follow that boring trend
I agree. We have lost some uniqueness lately and Luxor has that in droves. Hopefully it will get some love but stick around for the long term.
Truly one of a kind hotel that should never be torn down. Great video Thumbs up
It really is! Thanks!
I stayed here 3 weeks after opening when I got married. Years later in 2005, I worked here. It holds a special place in my heart. Best place to work
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your history with Luxor. I hope it sticks around a long time.
@@Milestomemories me too
I rode on the boat ride, at the end the boat went through a replica of Tu Tut Comoon's tomb. It was pretty cool. Saw the body exhibition there too.
The structure is interesting and one of the better themes, but i assume the design is not the most efficient use of space with the pyramid, which makes it a good candidate to replace.
Yeah good point. Definitely not the best use of space, but that makes it so unique too.
The last time I stayed at the Luxor it was dirty and filthy. Food trays left on the floor in the halls for days - spilled food left for several days outside the elevators - I had to call repeatedly just to get towels for my room. Worst hotel experience I've had in Las Vegas
Yikes! Doesn't sound good at all!
We have never stayed there but have been there for shows and gambling. Very nice place. I hope they don’t take it down. Would be so sad.
Me too. Hopefully it stays. It’s very unique!
I stayed at the Luxor back in 2019, and it is in bad need of updating. The rooms are old, not clean and pretty tired. It needs major updating.
I agree. Hopefully it gets some love!
Excellent video. I didn't think I'd watch as 17min seems alot for my attention span, but you had me interested the whole video. Thank you, I miss Vegas. Hope when feeling safer to return. New subscriber
Thanks Mindy. I’m so glad you enjoyed the whole thing!
Stayed here a few times with my wife.Fantasy is the best Vegas Show😎Walking from Excalibur to Luxor to Mandalay Bay is just fun.Greets from germany
GoKnightsGo🏒
Go Knights Go! Thanks for watching.
So cool! Great video 👍🏼 It's so sad about everything and seeing it's not operating at it's full potential, but at least it makes for a great video and an opportunity to see it without all the crowds!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
3 people died there building it and there have been a few suicides...the stairways gave me the creeps. Great tour btw!
Thanks Mark! Yeah I remember a suicide pretty early on in the life of the building and I am not surprised there have been more. Vegas media tends to keep suicides on the down low, so they often don't get covered as much as you would think.
I did hear it was cursed at one time.
I use to stay here alot in the late 90s but now its just worn out to far from the action. Can't wait to see if its gets the ax or Planet Hollywood?
Who knows. I think Planet Hollywood will reopen, but rumor is they want to sell it. Considering Miracle Mile is open I find it odd that they would keep it closed, unless something big is going to happen.
Don't tear it down just get rid of the funky smell!
Haha that would help!
