Walking 20 flights of stairs! The Emergency Exit Steps at the Luxor in Las Vegas NV

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

This is definitely one of the coolest Man Powered Elevators I've seen

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@mohammadfalou4095]

This video is so epic with an interesting view of the staircase, and keep up the good work Andrew! I've never seen staircases like those before!

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks. More coming soon

[@inactivechannel2938]

Wow this MPE design is actually really unique! I like how you can see down diagonally instead of straight down. Edit: also congrats on losing 40 lbs

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks so much.

[@chloe_reacts_to]

awesome video I’m glad the fire alarms didn’t go off walk 24 flights of stairs in a fire alarm evacuation wouldn’t be fun at all so I’m glad it was just an exercise video and not an actual emergency video

[@ericshook9270]

I like these videos Andrew please keep doing them! Elevators also as always

[@DieselDucy]

I will 😄

[@CameronJP]

Really cool seeing Emergancy MPEs. Love to see more!

[@DieselDucy]

You will.

[@HaileyJohn12]

This is a cool staircase. You should definitely keep doing these videos.

[@SamSitar]

i want to explore it too.

[@DieselDucy]

I am :)

[@Class777]

I like emergency stairwells. They’re interesting and the designs are amazing and unique! It’s like it’s just backrooms. Never give up Andrew, you’re looking amazing mate! 😊

[@charliemartin-k7m]

I use to like them until I got locked in one because both doors locked on me.

[@NathanDavisVideos]

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING TOO!!! (OMG the Backrooms has now made it into the KZbin elevator filmier community...)

[@DieselDucy]

Got more coming

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

There should be MOAR stairwell/MPE videos on this channel. I fucking love emergency stairwells.

One time I climbed about 72 flights of steps at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront as part of my cross-country class. The hotel had 30 stories

[@DieselDucy]

Awesome job.

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

Also I saw your video of the east tower elevators. Did they implement the Floor Sensitive lockouts on the Pyramid?

[@DieselDucy]

Yes they did

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

That's crazy! 24 floors of stairs! I don't know if I could do that, I'm not even gonna lie!

[@DieselDucy]

It was hard

[@BuildingToursForLife1660-4]

@@DieselDucy I bet! I would not be able to walk 20 flights of stairs, I would probably have to stop a few times and rest, or maybe I would just take the elevator

[@elevatingthemidwest2379]

I know this is the Luxor Pyramid but I’m honestly thinking there needs to be way more stairwells where you’re not always turning the same direction

[@inactivechannel2938]

I agree with you there

[@DieselDucy]

There are a few more here

[@khanscombe619]

Is this accessible to non guest just visiting? is there a separate stairs 25-30? Is it open? What's the lowest floor you can exit out of to hotel?

[@davecoasterdudew1206]

I need to start this myself taking the stairs in the tallest building.

[@DieselDucy]

It is healthy

[@davecoasterdudew1206]

@@DieselDucy I recently fit on Steel Vegeanace lap bar at Cedar Point two weeks ago, it's due to my shins, similar to Twisted Timbers at Kings Dominion. Restraints are restrictive, but I made it in.

Empire State Building.

[@MarkJones9093]

Can you access the stairs from the first floor? I am claustrophobic and never get on elevators, so I’m curious if they allow guests to use stairs to go up to their room.

[@mariokart8715]

Next time you’re in Memphis, please visit the Bass Pro Shops pyramid. There are a few elevators there.

[@DieselDucy]

I should

[@statecollegewx4060]

That’s an awesome exercise.

[@craigs3183]

This is cool to see the unique design of the stairwell. It may turn in a different direction since pyramids are wider at the base than on the upper levels. Must've been an engineering challenge.

[@DieselDucy]

This was definitely unique.

I love long stairs

Me too. Burns lots of calories

Wow... Evething in Luxor is weird, the stairs are so weird, but it so cool and the same time. Amazing that you going to good shape.

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks

[@Ih8kone]

You didn't set off the alarm didn't you? Most stairwells in highrise buildings and skyscrapers are alarmed.

[@aceee06]

Usually only at the exit on the ground level is alarmed.

[@DieselDucy]

No alarm

[@calmcdaniel8167]

Wow! The stairway looks like it’s rotated 45 degrees, Or the better explanation is that if the stairs were completely straight flat down, We could literally slide all the way 20 floors down. However It would be impossible to make it back up though.

[@DieselDucy]

It was cool.

Andrew I always take the stairs if theirs a fire emergency in the apartment I live in and now I actually take the stairs to the floor where the apartment I live in is!

Stairs are healthy

Good for you Andrew. I've started my weight loss journey to loose 100 pounds

[@psirvent8]

Yes this looks pretty much like the behind the the scenes of the Luxor. And I totally understand the health point. But I've also seen another comment saying that there are usually alarms on stairwells in high-rise buildings. And there happens to be something that I've been wondering about for years: Can they prohibit people (Customers, office building workers, hotel guests, even tenants in apartment buildings etc...) from taking the stairs instead of elevators ? There seems not to be any alarm on the 23th floor stairwell door in this video but it's clearly marked "Emergency exit only" nonetheless. Could you have used the ground floor exit if you wanted to or was it locked/secured/alarmed ?

[@DieselDucy]

Some are alarmed but not usually. In a lot of high rise buildings the stairs are for emergency use only but many are open to the public.

[@psirvent8]

@@DieselDucy Thank you very much for the reply. 👍 So that means in the high-rise buildings you mentioned you absolutely can't take the stairs ? What about claustrophobic people ?

[@xtn7377]

As a person who walks 20 flights of stairs, I can relate to this

Its even weirder than the weird staircase that the college i went to back in 2018-19 had (That college had 4 staircases in the main building, South Fire Exit (which had no return doors with panic bars, from what i was told by another student, the doors on this staircase could not be opened from the staircase side at all, not even with a key, the only way off the staircase was at ground level), South Main Staircase, North Main Staircase, North Fire Exit (which had a goods lift off of it), the South Fire Exit staircase was the only staircase that had panic bars, the rest had doors which did not latch shut, and did not have any sort of lock on them, and for those wondering, the North Main Staircase was the weird one)

[@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398]

Actually, GeorgeF551 has a video of him taking a highrise manpowered elevator both up and down. I believe it was at least 8 stories worth of travel. The funny thing he did in that video is make like it had a motor at the top and so as he gets closer to the top, he make the machine sounds and progressively get louder as he got to the top and then made them fade away as he started down. If the elevator is "man-powered", that means he himself is the "motor" that powers the travel. It was still cute. I had a video up where I went up about 14 floors and then took the scenic "man-powered" elevator with a friend in tow. He complained a little about walking all the steps but he made it. The MPE stole the show. 1:37 DEATH TRAP! 13 was death trap. I like the way the steps "pyramid" out as you are going down. Too bad it's not scenic. You said "Pyramid" after I said it, great minds thinking alike? Cuz I'm takin' it step by step. You shouldn't have any problems with all the cycling you have been doing. Don't look up. That might make you feel overwhelmed and discouraged. Damn graffitiers. You got us both beat as you just did 40 floors worth of man-powering up. Glad those doors were not locked. In some cases in emergency stairs, all the doors are locked until you get to the first one.

[@DieselDucy]

Given it's at The Luxor, that is quite the architecture. Did you see the Titanic museum while you were here? The artifacts in there are so much cooler than the elevators here.
