High Roller Area

Just like any other MGM resort and possibly every gambling site in Las Vegas, the Luxor hosts a dedicated high-limit area for players looking to defy the odds and live the full gaming experience. The high limit area is very discrete, secluded from the rest of the gambling floor and offers a unique setting for your high stake games. A charming cocktail area is available to enjoy a lavish Luxor drink whilst you play, whilst the casino management team is always at hand, available to high-limit players sitting at tables. In a nutshell, at the Luxor high stake area, you get the royalty treatment.
