Jake Stone:
Where do you hide a massive actual pyramid?
Cassandra Cillian:
Inside another massive actual pyramid!
Ezekiel Jones:
The Luxor Casino in Vegas. It's genius!
I mean, who'd ever think to look for a real Egyptian pyramid
under a fake American one?

From Wikipedia:
Luxor Las Vegas is a hotel and casino situated on the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The 30-story hotel, owned and operated by MGM Resorts International, has a 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) casino with over 2,000 slot machines and 87 table games.
Due to the 2008 to 2009 renovation, it has a new, highly modernized design and contains a total of 4,407 rooms, including 442 suites, lining the interior walls of a pyramid-shaped tower and within more recent twin 22-story ziggurat towers.
The hotel is named after the city of Luxor (ancient Thebes) in Egypt. Luxor is the fifth-largest hotel in Las Vegas and the ninth-largest in the world As of 2010, the Luxor has a 4 Key rating from the Green Key Eco-Rating Program, which evaluates "sustainable" hotel operations.

The hotel has also been featured in the television shows 'Fear Factor', 'Criss Angel Mindfreak', 'Great Hotels', and 'CSI'.
A majority of my fellow Crossoverists don't hold with using actual locations as being qualifying crossover markers. And I agree - there has to be more to a crossover between 'Taxi' and 'Law & Order' than just the fact that both take place in New York City. Luckily in that care, there is a true crossover - the "Terminal" episode of 'Law & Order' in which a suspect was a driver for the Sunshine Cab Company, the main setting for the 'Taxi' sitcom.
But the Luxor is a good example of what the Wold Newton people would consider "the world just outside your window". The general public is unaware of the "fact" that an actual Egyptian pyramid can be found beneath the Luxor Hotel & Casino, but it is there in Toobworld and stands as a good example of a difference between Earth Prime-Time and Earth Prime.
(Another good example would be Fenway Stadium and its secret history as told in the "Diamond In The Rough" episode of 'Relic Hunter'.)
So I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but if I'm watching an old episode of 'CSI' and see the Luxor in the background, I'll know there was an actual pyramid under there that whole time. But I don't see it as being a true crossover. It just gives 'CSI' some added flavor.....
BCnU!
