A pyramid shaped curse. I'm Jason Horton. I'm Rebecca Leib. And this is Ghost Town.

It was the most bizarre thing all of a sudden we plummeted 8,000 feet below the Earth's surface.

And then there were these talking camels and kings and queens. The elevator didn't go off the

ground but sideways like that. And then I said, they'll lock those people. They're floating. And then

there was this light, you know. And you could see them all the way from outer space. It's different

on the inside too. Luxor, get into it. This week I stayed in the Luxor hotel for the first time since I

was 10. Honestly, I didn't throw up after seeing body worlds but not much else had changed.

So why did I stay there when I had a lot of other options when spending the night in Vegas?

Because the Luxor is known as one of the most haunted and deadliest hotels in Las Vegas.

For a debaturist tiny city that is anywhere from 17,000 to 22,000 deaths per year,

it was 22,049 in 2020 just to give you a frame of reference. That's a pretty strong label.

Today we're talking about the curse of the Luxor in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Luxor Hotel in Casino was opened in 1993 and is 120,000 square feet, 30 stories of Egyptian

paraphernalia, hospitality, and entertainment draws. While it only has 2,000 slot machines in 87

table games, not that much compared to other hotels, its draw is its architecture. It was

named after the lost city of Luxor in Egypt, a 34 hundred year old royal city that was built

by Pharaoh Aminhotep III. Don't know this lost Egyptian city off the top of your head?

Let me refresh your memory, the Nile River runs through it, and it's worth an acropolis and the

valley of the kings. The famous graves of Pharaohs were constructed, so no pressure,

Las Vegas Luxor. The hotel was in a bad place way before its opening. Construction wasn't completed

by the time the hotel was taken guess. As a result, some guests stayed in rooms that weren't

entirely finished. But honestly, nobody really cared. Everyone was really pumped about the Luxor.
