That is really cool. I was in Vegas about a month ago and was wondering why the light at the top of the Luxor was not on. I figured they didn't want to pay the electric bill anymore?? As far as I know isn't that the brightest light (or one of the brightest lights) on earth?

I was there 2 weeks ago and the Luxor light was on...

Hmm. Vegas is my home away from home and I had never seen it off, yet it was off the entire weekend that I was there. I guess my earlier assumption is incorrect then.

"The tip of the pyramid contains a fixed-position spotlight that points directly upward and is claimed to be the brightest beam in the world at over 42 billion candle power.[7] It is visible from anywhere in the Las Vegas valley at night, and can be seen at flight level from above Los Angeles, California, over 275 miles (443 km) away."

The tip of the pyramid contains a fixed-position spotlight that points directly upward and is claimed to be the brightest beam in the world at over 42 billion candle power.[7] It is visible from anywhere in the Las Vegas valley at night, and can be seen at flight level from above Los Angeles, California, over 275 miles (443 km) away. At ground level, on clear nights, the beam could also be seen as far south as Laughlin and even as far north as Mesquite or Beatty. The beam is visible straight ahead when driving northbound on US 93 in Arizona, north of Kingman before reaching Hoover Dam. In the spring, the bright light attracts huge numbers of moths into the light beam, creating a phenomenon that has been likened to snow. Light is generated using 45 Xenon arc lamps[8] of 7 kilowatts each. When turned on, the lamps heat up to over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The hourly cost, including lamps, electricity, and repairs, is US$51 ? roughly two weeks' worth of electricity for the average American household.[9] Hotel engineers, as well as the hotel's own website also claim that the light can be observed from space.
The luxor light is not as bright as it once was and it seems they turn it off sometimes through certain nights. like it will be on at 9pm but not at 1pm... but then again sometimes all night. I have limited experience, but thats what ive noticed recently.

I should have thought to check Wikipedia before posting that lol.
Very cool indeed. Crazy that it costs them $51 per hour to run that thing. That is roughly 450k/year for a single beam of light that serves no purpose other than looks!
