Sorry been busy.
I'm not going to post personal photos if friends here but you get an idea from this picture.
It's a professional zoomed in pic.

What gives the original away is the waste high half window.
That runs across the entire balcony of Mix

You can see the glass in the photo I posted

You can also see that the locations of the pyramids aren't the same, and many Las Vegas hotels are missing in the mystery nude pic. Where's MGM and NYNY? Why isn't the red and blue lighted building, which you are assuming is the Excalibur, right next to the Pyramid building, what you are assuming is the Luxor? It's not Las Vegas.

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.

On top of the buildings not being spaced correctly, it should be noted that the lights on the Luxor are not like those of the picture on the right. As anyone who has been to Las Vegas can attest, the Luxor has a giant white spotlight that shoots straight up. It has a visible beam of light going towards the sky. Luxor doesn't have the lighted band of white lights 1/3 of the way down, and doesn't have green/red lights on it's edges.

Also, the Excalibur doesn't have blue lights on the top spanning each tower. It only has blue lights on the corners of the towers, so that building in the background can't be Excalibur.

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.
