I will be doing my analysis paper on the Luxor Pyramid. The architect of this structure is
Veldon Simpson and the interior designer was Charles Silverman. The contruction started in
1992, and was completed in 1993. The location of the Luxor Pyramid is in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The style of the Luxor Pyramid is postmodernism and the building type is a skyscraper. It sits on the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip.

It is not built of the same materials and not build for the same reasons, but it is still a pyramid. This structure was jaw dropping for me. It is so different from other structures I have seen before. There is nothing that I can think
