Same here! I visited whilst on business, and we came to see the blue man group and I had a sick feeling as I kept looking up as I felt people were looking down on me
We stayed here a year ago. We all went down to the buffet the first morning we were there (we were in town for a funeral) had breakfast and my uncle went back the room to have a nap. 30 minutes later we discovered he had passed away. Medics tried for 40 min to revive him. We felt weird being there from the minute we checked in and couldn’t check out fast enough.
When the Luxor first opened there was a water & laser show in front of the Sphinx where the tram station is now located. The original hanging tram between Excalibur and Luxor had to shut down shortly after opening because high winds would cause the cars to swing wildly. There were four ride/attractions inside. The first was the Nile river ride which went around the perimeter of the casino floor. The other three were located upstairs and represented the past present and future. The first was a motion ride that started in a falling elevator. The second was a TV studio with a 3D element and the third was an IMAX screen showing the future. There was a a self guided walk - through replica of Tuts tomb that included reproductions of the treasures within. The the upstairs ride/attractions closed and the tomb was moved into one of those upstairs spaces. The buffet which was on the casino level was moved to the tombs old location. The tomb was later removed. There were also a couple of talking animatronic camels that got moved around.
@@LetYrLiteShine There was also a fire-breathing dragon in front of Excalibur. You can still see the tracks beneath the water next to the main entrance.
I rode the ride, it was really cool. It ended in a scalled down replica of Tu Tut Commons tomb exactly how it looked when it was found. It was gone pretty quick... within a couple of years if i remember correctly.
Awesome video ! I’ve been visiting Las Vegas since 1989 , and I remember that water ride, all of those Egyptian artifacts you’re talking about those things made that casino more beautiful and entertaining, but I never heard of any of those deaths at Luxor ! Very entertaining video ! Thanks for sharing!!
I lived in Vegas for a couple of years and didn't really know anyone. Sometimes, in the late evenings, I would would go to Luxor and walk around. It's on a part of the strip that's not very busy and parking is so easy, plus, Luxor connects to Excalibur and Mandalay Bay so when it was 105 degrees outsides (at night!) it was nice to be able to walk around in an open, climate controlled space. I always wish I could've seen Luxor in its heyday.
Stayed here during my first trip to Vegas in 2003, and again in 2017. Those inclinators are the sketchiest elevators in Vegas. Never knew about the curse, maybe they should ditch the "bodies" exhibit.
I stayed in the pyramid once and had a freakish experience. Woke up startled and yelling at my brother twice for some reason. The energy of the rooms, the platform hallways leading to each room and how theyre designed and situated are very weird along with the inclinators. It may have been because of that that I freaked. Also, I felt as if I didn't have any control of my senses; there was an energy of the room of it seeming to be very unbalanced. Unsure if that could've been related to the physical structure or maybe the spiritual environment or fung shei being way off. I was sober when this happened. Hope the room and/or floor we had/were on was not the location of any of the unfortunate events that you mentioned. I freaked so bad that I had to ride the inclinators down to the 1st floor in my pjs to have some fresh air to regain myself. This all happened in 1999. I have not stayed there since.
had a ghost experience at the Luxor! first room on the first floor! shit was crazy, tv turning on and off, shower running, tv not letting itself turn off! and turning on while not plugged in! crazy shit!
I was in a hotel in San Luis Obispo California like that. Had a wicker chair inside the room that kept creaking like someone was sitting in it, sink ran when I was in bed and the door to the room would open to the outside hall on its own.
It's not swampy lands that cause the sinking since they're in the desert. The ground around Las Vegas is sinking because they've over pumped the groundwater, so the land experiences a phenomena known as subsidence. There is a neighborhood just outside Las Vegas that is sinking and the homes have been destroyed from sinking into the ground.
I stayed in the Luxor pyramid circa 1996 with my girlfriend (now my wife) on her first trip to Las Vegas. I don’t remember many details except the Egyptian theme, the inclinators and the weird feeling looking over the edge of the walkways to the rooms looking down on the casino knowing there’s nothing beneath you. It was a pleasant trip and I never heard of any of the things mentioned in this video!
The buffet started on the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor was there to begin with. I don’t believe the 2nd floor was carpeted. It was also the first hotel to build shower only rooms, doing away with tubs in all or majority of rooms.
I've stayed here twice and both times I experienced something creepy. Both of these experiences happened at night (of course). First time I noticed a shadow figure on my side of the bed slowly getting taller and taller. I couldn't move or talked but I was able to mumble enough to make it go away. Second time I saw a figure of a tarantula walking across my bed and going under my pillow. I lift the pillow up but nothing was there.
Stop smoking weed before going to bed just drink till you black out, Ghosts will be poking the crap out of you trying to scare you but you'll be balls deep on your pillow knocked the F out not feeling a thang! Don't let them spirits scare you on your vacay! 😉
We lived in Vegas back in 93, I Remember very well the inside of the Luxor. The water ride w/ the boats is correct, it traveled on the outer edge of the main floor. I also remember the buffet being visible on the main floor off of the casino., so it's very plausible she jumped...and landed in front of the Buffet. They have put carpet it looks like everywhere...used to be marble floors. Good Video from what I've seen so far. Now to watch the rest of the video.
Is nobody going to mention the Bodies Exhibit? Hundreds of dead bodies and body parts, plasticized in the middle of a pyramid, don't seem oddly morbid or, at the very least, attractive to the occult or inviting to the spirit world?
the boat ride was removed. When the boat ride went around the casino the stairs went up a half floor and you were on the second level, when they removed it they changed the entrance to go down into the casino. they made it so it could be changed if needed, that is why the entrance is mid level going into the casino.
Aww, such Good memories!! We stayed there when they had this ride and motion theater/ride attraction/ In Search of the Obelisk...Very cool experience back then. Also the inclinators were a fun time on the way up to our room! Too bad they took the river Nile out, was so pretty!! The Egyptian artifacts and artwork looked so authentic. 😒
Stayed there in May and loved the walkway between Excalibur and Luxor like that. We walked the entire strip from Paris to Luxor and it’s like 5 miles 😂
I mean the luxor was cursed from the beginning!! Improper placement of sphinx, massive suicide in the pyramid section, built on bad swamp lands, lots of cursed artifacts from ancient Egyptian tombs in the west tower, and was involved with the 91 route tour massacre and last but not least that gosh darn Chris angel lol jk but no wonder MGM wants it gone lol
No. I wasn't sure if that was too controversial or not. Although I've touched on subjects similar in other vlogs like that plane crash. Some thought I was being insensitive.
@@ArroyoVideo Last year in February, when I lived in Yorba Linda CA still, a small plane crashed a few blocks from me. Shook our condo, scared the crud out of us. I ran outside and caught footage of the flames. I didn't go to the site til a few weeks later.
LetYrLiteShine post it with a warning. I never believed in conspiracies until the Vegas shooting. I knew several people in Vegas that night and they all tell the story different. Anyway, I love this stuff.
We are in America post what ever you wan’t who cares about people’s feelings I sure don’t. No need to punish everyone for a few cry babies. Do as you like can’t please everyone
You got some facts wrong, first the Luxor isn't sinking, nor is the Mandalay Bay. Only during construction of the Mandalay Bay engineers noticed the center core of the building sank 17in and one of the wings sank by 2in. This was caused by excessive and uneven settling of the soil beneath. The issue was solved by installing aroun 500 pipes filled with grout and capped with a hydraulic jack at the end. And second the suicide that happened off of the 26th floor was by a local hooker who decided to jump after she discovered she had contracted HIV. She did land on top of the buffet which was located on the second level where the food court now stands. The buffet is now downstairs below the casino floor because the entire buffet on the mezzanine level was closed down due to the incident and HIV positive blood being scattered throughout the area, forced them to tear down the entire area and i guess you can say rebuild a new area where the old buffet once stood.
That is absolutely not true. A friend of the woman who committed suicide came forward about those nasty rumours to explain that was not why it happened. Her name was Sasha Clement and it was appear she suffered from past traumas and abuse that effected her in later life. It’s disgusting that people continue to lie about that fact without any knowledge. And how would people know if she had contracted HIV? Utter bullcrap. Any death resulting in massive blood loss to any area of a building especially with food around would be a biohazard incident, it would have to be specially cleaned, changed and renovated regardless of HIV. The food court was moved because her suicide could have resulted in killing someone bellow and that’s why they moved it for safety reasons incase a situation would ever arise again like that
@@LetYrLiteShineUnfortunately that person is telling porkies which were nasty rumours made up The poor young woman who committed suicide was named Sasha Clement and it was appear she suffered from past traumas and abuse that effected her in later life.

I just saw a documentary last night about the making thr Luxir. Up in the elevators you could look down on the atrium which covered the whole bottom. They said it was the biggest atrium in the world!
Just a little insight, I just did some research, it was an urban legend, but it was actually true somewhere in the nineteen nineties, early nineteen nineties, when it opened the girl who jumped landed on what is now the food court, it used to be a buffet, but they ripped everything out and turned it into the food court with the big circle red chairs and moved the buffet down stairs under a roof area , and she jumped from the 26th floor. I stayed on the 16th once , it was very, very high! She had apparently just found out she had aids according to the reports and the hotel acted quickly it said
That story about her having aids is nonsense, a disgusting urban legend or rumour and nothing more. Her name was Sasha Clements and she committed suicide due to past childhood trauma which became too much for her in later life.
Stayed there 3 times before. Never did I see, get a negative vibe, hear anything that creeped me out. Pretty cool place don’t know why people don’t like staying there? 🤷🏻♂️ don’t believe everything you read or hear.
My dad had a nervous breakdown while we were on vacation here in 1998. I don't know what his issue is, vacations are when he became more abusive... He tortured me in our pyramid guestroom's bathroom. Hell, maybe it is cursed. It really hasn't changed at all from what I remember about the Luxor.
Seriously...makes so much sense as to why I always ended up loosing whenever I stayed at Luxor! I am a very big believer in curses, jinx's, etc and have stayed at Luxor 4 times out of the 5x I've been...I did better when I stayed at New York New York lol
The buffet Was moved to the basement level approximately 15 years ago where "The Winds of the Gods" Chariot Show used to be. It's original location was on the Attractions level where the food court now sits.
Ahhh I was wondering where the show was as I did a VERY sad vlog about Stoney the elephant who performed at the Luxor. It'll make you cry. I had a hard time keeping myself together.
When I used to work there in the year 2000 on the second floor and yes all the theaters on the second floor are haunted. The old boats used to be stored in the parking structure underneath the ramps and the king tuts artifacts were moved to the natural history museum on LVblvd and Washington
Watched a video of the building of Luxor and the water ride was used to take guest from the front desk to the different elevator areas And I highly doubt the Luxor is sinking, but all these conspiracy theories are hilarious
Have lived in Vegas. The mob did run Vegas in the 1940's and 1950's. In the 1960's Howard Hugh's purchased casino's and Vegas was becoming more corporate. There was still some element of organized crime in the 1960's and early 70's. But it was just much more underground. When Las Vegas generates so much income it becomes the ideal place to loan and money launder. Thus, making it the ideal place for the mob. It is said, that if you owed the mob, snitched on the mob, or was the mob's rival. You'd more than likely met your own demise. It is said, that the desert surrounding Las Vegas contains a lot of dead corpses from people that crossed the mob!
Very interesting. New subscriber. I heard a story of someone falling onto a table where people were eating from balcony in luxor. Your story sounds similar. Thx for sharing
15 years ago or so you could walk in and look up to the ceiling from anywhere. We went in last trip and were shocked to see a ceiling. Used to be really impressive.
When the boat ride went around the casino the stairs went up a half floor and you were on the second level, when they removed it they changed the entrance to go down into the casino. they made it so it could be changed if needed, that is why the entrance is mid level going into the casino.
My mom won a trip to Vegas back around 96. I went with her and my brother and stayed next to the Tropicana in a cheaper hotel. I went to the Luxor with the only gambling money I had to bring. Lost that money in the fastest losing streak ever on blackjack. I couldn’t buy a win. That second floor thing wasn’t there before. Noticed that whole change in 2020 when I finally made it back to Vegas. It’s not the same.
My first trip to Vegas in 99 I stayed here. The only thing I really remember is winning $400 bucks on a slot and the nightclub "Ra." I think that boat was taken out. And the Buffett wasn't that good. Does anyone else have that weird phobia of someone jumping from an atrium and landing on you? Hate it. But this is still a cool hotel, don't think I'd ever stay here again.
Probably doesn't help that they have a "Bodies" exhibit and the 'Titanic exhibit with artifacts of the long dead. I'm sure that would play tricks on someone's mind. And on top of that, the many suicides inside the atrium.
Cool vid. I was meditating after securing a place to see Tutankhaten exhibition in London. I was taken back to being 24 on a trip to the Luxor March 2001 and got that when I went, I 'blessed it' (due to an ancient Egyptian life) So started on youtube. OK...this is why its 'cursed' They are using sacred Egyptian practices and artifacts in a place that is all about money - dirty money. Big no no. If this was one casino that played its games but used profits to help others, then it would have been a different story. Mob antics under the ground, well thats soon cleared, and that beacon is powerful, when channeled correctly. Prob some satanic worship thing going on there with peeps involved in the place. Loved the hotel as it had much more Egyptian feel. Hated having to sit through a sea of naked dancing women tho when there should have been naked men dancing for us ladies ;)
This is a great video... First of all, I've never heard of the Luxor cursed or being haunted, and I live in Las Vegas. Was there a "Haunted Ride"? no. there was a little boat ride that went around the edge of the casino, on the inside. Those so called artifacts, are just resin and fiberglass replicas that were fabricated right here in Las Vegas by companies such as Yesco and Mikohn. None of that stuff was real. The last time I saw them, they were being loaded into a company warehouse over off of Valley View and Russel Road. One of the news channels was doing a story on the casino remodel, and where everything was going. They got rid of them when they closed the RA Nightclub. They were trying to modernize the property a bit, and were going after the younger generation of guests. All the casinos did. Treasure Island did the same thing. They had even changed their name to TI, and dropped the pirate theme. MGM got rid of their movies themed casino rooms. My favorite was the Wizard of Oz part of the casino. Everybody remodeled and streamlined their casinos, about the same time. As for the Luxor and Mandalay Bay sinking, there is some truth to that. A large portion of Vegas sits on top of empty aquifers. As for the murders and suicides, I don't recall any murders ever being there. But suicides,,, yes. Several people have committed suicide from the upper floors, or sitting on the banisters trying to get that perfect picture. I'd say there was about a dozen the first few years, but not all of them were rules suicides. They actually had to relocate the original buffet from the second floor to where it is today, because they had a couple of unexpected guests drop in... lol After that, they put security guards, at each of the inclinators. The second floor of the luxor has always been there since day 1. That is where the buffet, arcade, and all most of the themed attractions were location. At that time, Luxor was trying to compete with the Medieval themed attraction level at Excalibur called Fantasy Fare. I do remember the bomb. It was put in a Super Big Gulp cup, and placed on the roof of the persons car. But that was a severe case of Domestic Violence and jealousy. The Fantasy dancer, was another Domestic violence situation. She either caught or accused her boyfriend of cheating, and that led to her being murdered. But that wasn't at the Luxor. That happened at the couples home. Her body was found downtown.
I've been there many times ! There is something weird about that place ! The clientele seem to be a lot of swingers ! The hotel gives off an energy of death ! My buddy had a room near the top of the hotel ! I wasn't at all impressed with the room ! I remember the water ride !
