Is Las Vegas the land of exciting lighting?
Whether you are in Las Vegas for fun or/and gambling, Las Vegas has style and extraordinary lighting. The Luxor Hotel showcases the worlds strongest beam of light, featuring computer designed curved mirrors to collect the light from 39 Xenon lamps, that are then collectively focused into one intense, narrow beam. From an airplane and on a clear night, the Sky Beam is visible up to 250 miles away.
