Luxor CasinoJanet Ilacqua Completed on October 15, 1993, the Luxor Casino and Hotel a thirty-story replica of the Egyptian pyramid of Khafre at Giza. Khafres Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, gives its patrons a taste of ancient Egypt. Luxor is 30 stories tall, the biggest pyramid ever raised in the Western Hemisphere, with a Sphinx outside and 2,526 deluxe rooms inside. Nine Boeing 747s could be stacked in its atrium, said to be the worlds largest at 29 million cubic feet. The inside is lavishly decorated with many reproductions of Egyptian artifacts and paintings giving the hotel a sense of antiquity. The outside of the Luxor is just as magnificent as its outside. Encased in bronze reflective glass, the 2,526 rooms, slanted at a 49-degree angle, overlook the center atrium of the pyramid. Just adjacent to the pyramid is a 76 full size replica of the Great Sphinx Luxors "Beam of Light," the most powerful in the world, shines straight from the top of the pyramid. Its 40-billion candlepower makes it visible at cruising altitude from Los Angeles, about 250 miles away, on a clear night. At ten miles into space, you could read a newspaper by its light. The latest word from the Roadside America website is that it is all being torn out and replaced with newer, better mysteries. Why would anyone think of tearing down such a beautiful and awesome reproduction of a long-gone civilization and long-dead creed The answer is simple. Whereas, the Giza pyramids were the monument to the gods, Luxor Casino is nothing more than a container for human desire based on illusion. The desire, in this case, is the lust for money and the illusion, in this case, is instant wealth through the chance spin of a roulette wheel or the shake of a dice. Whereas the pyramids have been here for 5000 years or longer and will be here 5000 years from now, the Luxor Casino will probably not survive this century. Take some time to look at your writing and think about the enduring value of your writing. What are you building: a Giza Pyramid or a Luxor Casino What will people remember about your life a 100, 1000 or 5000 years from now What type of future do you want for the world and what are you doing now to create that future Let the future guide your writing today.

Finding and Managing Quality Reciprocal Links: A Tutorial for The Newbie All of us want to increase traffic to our web sites. It helps our search engine rankings, and is a very cost-effective way to provide us with potential new customers. One of the best, and certainly least expensive, ways to do that is by exchanging links with sites similar to our own, or that contain content our own visitors are likely to find interesting and useful. It is important to restrict our exchanges to such sites because if we indiscriminately exchange with everybody and anybody we become what is known as a “link farm” and wind up being banned by the search engines. No one wants to be banned by the search engines, so this article will discuss how to find relevant sites with whom to exchange links, and how to keep track of them after you have exchanged the links.

The Dangers of Bingo Let’s face it; bingo is hardly going to arouse a thrill-seeker into taking it up in attraction to its high risk stakes.

Las Vegas "Whales" What Las Vegas jargon names "whales" is in fact the creme of the high rollers species. They are a handfull of people that in some opinions dont exceed 500 individuals in the world. Las Vegas hoteliers are nuts about them; some claim four or five of those whales bet much more than the rest of the thousands customers they receive daily. No wonder they are suspected of going as far as selling their first born child to get one of those whales into their gaming area. |
