DIAGONAL Otis Elevators @ Luxor - Las Vegas, NV.

[@badgerstateelevators6363]

Somebody told me these things are like a magic carpet on a ski slope inside a box. If only I could get out to Vegas so I could check them out for myself.

Nice they still have the Luxury chimes. It seems like every other elevator in Vegas had those Otis luxury chimes back in the late 2000s.

I CAN’T WAIT TO RIDE THIS WHENEVER I VISIT LV IN THE FUTURE!!!! 😂🤣 It makes sense that there’s Otis with Luxury chimes at a Luxury hotel! Imagine if the service elevators are diagonal too! LOL!

[@upanddownadventures]

I'm not 100% sure if there are service cars, but if so they must be inclined.

These are SMART keycarded. I wouldn't smart-keycard the hotel elevators because guests may experience issues and difficulties trying to tap the key to the reader before selecting a floor and also forcing crowded guests in elevators to wait extra time. This is why I prefer REGULAR keycards.

A scenic one could be interesting especially there.

[@SPS8elevatorsoflakecounty]

I completely agree, that would have been awesome

[@Paramount531]

I bet the mechanical room would be interesting. I'm guessing that the counterweights have to run on their own track. I'd also assume level mounting of the motors with extra pulleys to deflect the cables toward the cars. My only memorable Vegas elevator experience was at the Flamingo Hilton in the 80s, we were waiting for an elevator at the first floor. When one of them opened, the car was bouncing up and down a few inches. No way in hell was I going to get on that thing!

[@elevation62047]

Elevator cars bouncing up and down is typically meaning weight is quickly being adjusted. Happens a lot when I'm on elevators, and they sometimes relevel afterwards

Awesome

[@cubsfan5734]

They shouldn’t smart key them

[@747sooner]

I know because these can cause issues to guests trying to get up the elevator to their room. This is why we prefer REGULAR keycards.
