The Luxor
Egyptology is one of my little interests, so when I visited the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, I took some photos. It's dark in there, and my point-and-shoot camera does not do well in dark environments, so some of the pictures didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. However, here are some that came out pretty well. There are two pages of photos.
