Colorful "Secret Beach" welcome sign on sandy shore in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize. — Secret Beach sits on the northwest coast of Ambergris Caye, roughly a 20-minute golf cart ride from San Pedro Town across the island's interior. The area takes its name from its early years as a little-known swimming spot, before social media and travel blogs turned it into one of Belize's most-visited beach destinations after 2015. Its shallow, waist-deep lagoon is protected from open-sea currents by the barrier reef offshore, making it popular for wading and swimming rather than surfing. A cluster of beach bars and restaurants, including long-running operations like the Blue Bar, line the shoreline and draw both day-trippers from San Pedro and visitors staying on the island's west side. Ambergris Caye itself is Belize's largest island and sits adjacent to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second-longest coral reef in the world.

Luxor Hotel pyramid lit with powerful beam at apex, surrounded by palm trees and desert landscape at night in Las Vegas. — The Luxor opened in 1993 on the Las Vegas Strip, its 30-story pyramid designed by architect Veldon Simpson to evoke ancient Egypt. The beam projected from its apex measures roughly 42.3 billion candela, making it one of the strongest beams of light in the world, reportedly detectable from aircraft flying over Los Angeles on clear nights.

MGM Grand Hotel and Casino's teal facade and signage on the Las Vegas Strip. — The MGM Grand opened in December 1993 on the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, built on the former site of the MGM Grand Hotel that burned in a 1980 fire. At 30 stories, the hotel has more than 5,000 rooms, making it one of the largest single hotels in the United States. The property was developed by Kirk Kerkorian and originally themed around the film "The Wizard of Oz" before a late-1990s renovation shifted its design toward the current emerald-glass exterior. MGM Resorts International continues to operate the hotel and casino, which includes the Grand Garden Arena, a venue that has hosted championship boxing matches and major concerts.
