Just a quick look at the hieroglyphs you can see on your wardrobe and bed in rooms at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas (filmed in room 18/148 on 5 August 2011). They’re actually quite accurate but involve a strange choice since they include Alexander the Great, Ptolemy and Cleopatra (all from the end of Egyptian history between the late 4th century BC and 31 BC) and Thothmes/Tuthmosis and Ramesses, which were the names of great pharaohs of the 18th and 19th dynasties around a thousand years before. The cartouches for Alexander, Cleopatra and Ptolemy just involved transliterating the Greek names of these rulers into Egyptian characters eg what you get is ALKSI/ENDRS, and KLI/EOPDRA. Incidentally, the two additional symbols after her name I think denote something to do with her being female, but they don’t form part of the name. More traditional Egyptian didn’t need key vowels to be represented often because a god’s name, eg Thoth, formed part of the name. The arrival of the Macedonian Greeks in the late 300s BC meant Greek names had to be represented in Egyptian. The general ‘style’ of the Egyptian at the Luxor is Ptolemaic (very late Egyptian). I am no expert in hieroglyphs but alphabetic transliteration is fairly easy.
