The blaze erupted shortly after midnight, sending panicked guests and staff fleeing from the 30-story pyramid-shaped structure. Firefighters battled the inferno for hours, but the cause of the fire remains unknown. The Las Vegas Fire Department has launched an investigation, but so far, no clear culprit has emerged. “This was a challenging fire due to the unique architecture of the Luxor Hotel,” said Fire Chief Brian Enterline. “We’re still working to determine the point of origin.” Initial reports indicate that the fire may have started in one of the upper floors of the hotel, but this has yet to be confirmed. Authorities have also ruled out any foul play at this time. The Luxor Hotel sustained significant damage, with the exterior and several floors being charred. However, the structural integrity of the building appears to be intact. The hotel is currently closed indefinitely as repairs are made. Over 4,000 guests were registered at the Luxor Hotel at the time of the fire. Miraculously, there were no reported deaths or serious injuries. However, several guests reported smoke inhalation and minor injuries. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of high-rise hotels in Las Vegas. The Luxor Hotel is the third major hotel fire in the city in recent years, following the MGM Grand fire in 1980 and the Stratosphere fire in 2019. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has expressed its support for the Luxor Hotel and the Las Vegas Fire Department. “The safety of our visitors and residents is our top priority,” said LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill. “We are working closely with authorities to ensure the investigation is thorough and that appropriate measures are taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.” The Luxor Hotel is an iconic landmark in Las Vegas and its closure is a major loss for the city’s tourism industry.
