Here at Online Casino Conditions, we realize that many of the players who visit our site to gamble at online casinos, also like to gamble in Las Vegas. That being the case, we occasionally like to give brief reviews and updates on some of the many resorts in Sin City. One property that has recently been getting some major enhancements - and with more expected in the near future - is the Luxor Resort.

Famously known as the Pyramid on the Strip, the Luxor is currently in Phase One of a comprehensive two-phase enhancement project. MGM recently issued a press release with a timeline of all the ongoing improvements, as well as those to come.

Following the opening of the Restore Pool Lounge and Aurora lounge, which is a beautiful display of the Aurora Borealis, the Luxor has been busy getting ready for the Labor Day opening of the LAX Nightclub and Noir Bar, which are both being developed by Pure Management. Catering to the hip and elite crowd of clubbers, LAX promises to be a prime nightlife destination on the Strip, while Noir Bar will exclusively be reserved for elite guests.

Also included in Luxor's Phase I enhancement are new restaurants, bar/lounges and entertainment options. Opening in the Fall of 2007 is the restaurant "Company", which will specialize in fine American food and feature some of the most talented chefs in the world. A trendy, yet comfortable setting best describes this fine-dining experience. Another restaurant coming to the Luxor (in March, 2008) is the Luxor Steak House. In addition to many beef options, the menu will apparently feature seafood and lamb - all amidst a safari setting of animal prints and dark leather.

But before Luxor Steak House, guests will get a chance to dine in the CatHouse. Doubling as an ultra lounge, the CatHouse is a modern version of a 19th Century French bordello, candied with all kinds of voyeuristic charm, including lingerie models doing choreographed vignettes on raised platforms.

Also coming in the Fall is the Flight Bar and Liquidity Lounge, which will feature a water theme "spilling" over into the newly remodeled casino floor. The capper of Phase I enhancements at the Luxor will come in the Summer of 2008, when illusionist Criss Angel opens a new Cique du Soleil show in a customized theatre.

As you can see, Luxor is taking some major steps to become one of the hottest casinos on the Strip. They may just get away with it.
