Look. the picture is from the mandalay bay looking toward the airport. there is a main road between the Excaliber and the Luxor. The bright lights to the right of the picture are from rhe airport. There are no other hotels like you are asking for because we are looking sideways at the strip not down the strip.

Google maps - there is no angle I can see from anywhere on the Mandalay Bay property where the view would encompass the entire Luxor pyramid as in that photo and not be looking down the strip. Now looking at the same Google maps there is nothing big to the west of the Luxor so it "might" be possible to get a view like that from a higher floor on a building east of it, that would also include the mountains in the background. Using street view I can't duplicate the view because it is just too low of an angle but I can come close enough that I can't rule it out.
Edit.. I didn't find any evidence of that lighting scheme either, was just trying to see if it was even physically possible to get that view. It hasn't been lit like that anytime I've been in Vegas that I can remember. |
