About Luxor Las Vegas
Luxor Las Vegas is a casino resort in Paradise, Nevada, at the Las Vegas Strip's south end, built around an ancient Egyptian theme. Its centerpiece is a 30-story pyramid, 109 m (357 ft) high, which holds the largest atrium in the world, measured by volume, about 0.82 million cubic meters (29 million cubic feet). The hotel has 4,407 rooms and a casino. It sits between Excalibur on the north side and Mandalay Bay on the south, both also developed by Circus Circus Enterprises.
Circus Circus Enterprises announced the resort on November 14, 1991. Ground was broken on April 21, 1992, by which time the project was named Luxor, after the Egyptian city. Veldon Simpson was the architect, and Yates-Silverman, Inc handled the interior design. A Cincinnati-based company, Waltek, supplied the metal-and-glass exterior of the pyramid, which ranked as one of the biggest metal-and-glass projects ever. On July 9, 1993, the pyramid was topped off, and opening day was October 15, 1993, when it had 2,526 rooms, all inside the pyramid. It cost $375 million to build.
A renovation and expansion from 1996 to 1997 added two 22-story, ziggurat-shaped hotel towers just north of the pyramid, designed by Klai Juba Architects, with nearly 2,000 more rooms. The outside of the hotel structures, pyramid included, is made of black glass panels. At the tip of the pyramid, the Luxor Sky Beam is described as the world's most powerful man-made light, using curved mirrors to focus light from 39 xenon lamps into one narrow beam.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 29 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 37 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 47 mm | 1:2,344 |

- A sharp apex
- The pyramid narrows to a point at the top. Slow printing and good cooling help the tip, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the sloped sides smooth rather than visibly stepped.
- Fine lines on the faces
- The sloped faces carry fine horizontal lines. Print friendly adapts small surface details like these to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
- Luxor Las Vegas is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Luxor Las Vegas takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

Common questions
Is there a Luxor Las Vegas STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. Luxor Las Vegas grows with the print: about 29 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
