Luxor dropping the egyptian theme?(!)

[TruckeeSlick]

Anyone know anything about a rumor the Luxor is dropping the Egyptian theme? What marketing genius thought that up? After all, it's a friggin' pyramid with a massive sphinx out front. That's like Disneyland dropping Disney references.

Shame. I remember having a cool theme experience when I got a room down low in front. The view was entirely palm trees, the sphinx, and the obelisk with mountains behind. No other strip ticky-tack was visible. In the morning the sun came up between the sphinx and the obelisk.
