Yes, that is correct.

Asanyone knows who has flown into Vegas is sits in a great desert plain and if someone wanted to fly straight into the Luxor that would not be a problem at all. None whatsoever.

At night that light at the top of the pyramid would be a landing beacon which a pilot could see for at least 50 miles if not more.

Yep, according to the map, a plane could fly a flight pattern almost directly towards the Mandalay Bay and Luxor and then deviate to crash into them with little to no time for a response.

For those who have never been to Vegas, I cannot stress enough how close the Luxor is to the end McCarran Airport.

As for the Luxor beam, anyone who has driven into Vegas from the 95 or some other highway at night can tell you that it is easily seen from 50 miles away (such as Indian Springs).

I came into Vegas by vehicle from NTC Ft. Irwin, CA/Barstow and when you come around the I-15 bend at a distance of 15 miles the city stands out like nobody's business. A diamond in the desert.
