The Fine Art America puzzle by Panoramic Images measures 18 X 24 inches and includes 500 pieces. It is made from premium 0.2 inch thick paper and includes a semi-gloss coating on the top surface.
The Sphinx at Luxor Hotel is 34m (110ft) high. The first two photos were taken at the exit of the monorail which serves the Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur hotels. The third photo was taken from the highest deck of the Deuce bus. We can see the monorail and one of the two avenues of the sphinxes. The fourth photo shows the Luxor Atrium which is the largest atrium in the world (by volume) at 29 million cubic feet (820,000 m3).
"The Luxor Hotel and Casino is an Ancient-Egyptian-themed resort and landmark on the Las Vegas Strip. Built at about 75% to scale of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the 30-storey glass and steel pyramid-shaped hotel is one of the most iconic sights in Sin City. At night, a beam of light shines out from the tip of the pyramid. The Sky Beam is so bright, it's even visible to passing aeroplanes in Los Angeles.
While shiny and dazzling on the outside, the 4,400-room Luxor isn't as luxurious as its neighbours. Some rooms are dated, and others need basic maintenance and renovation. Even so, the hotel's excellent location, affordable rooms, and a wide variety of dining and entertainment options for all ages make it a popular choice for couples and families visiting Vegas." (
