There are a ton of changes going on at the Luxor nowadays. Walking through there last weekend it's impossible to not notice the walled off areas and construction. Ordering a few drinks at what is/was(?) Nefrititi's lounge, I decided to ask the bartender a couple questions about what is going on. I happened to record the whole discussion on my iPod: Here is a synopsis:
-The Egyption theme is going away, and they are moving towards a more adult-oriented property.
-The PURE group is opening and operating a version of DJ AM's Los Angeles club, LAX. It will be twice the size of RA, and have it's own sushi bar.
-Nefrititi's lounge will have no more live music.
-The high-roller area in the center of the casino has been removed and there will be a center bar in it's place.
-Upstairs is changing, with the ride and arcade taken out, and possibly the tomb.
-The Nile Bar will be expanded.-An Ultra Lounge, and a tattoo shop upstairs. (I think this is what he said, a little muffled)
-A couple 'mystery things' upstairs.
Also, not mentioned is a new steakhouse called Aspen 702.
Now you never know the accuracy of comments made by casino employees, as more than a few don't seem to even know what hotel they work for, but this guy seemed pretty legit.
