| Lost is an anagram of Slot.  The whole show is nothing but a metaphorical representation of the programming of a modern Vegas slot machine.  The numbers are the seed for the random # generator.  Each plane crash or capsized boat represents a new player inserting their player's club card.  What the donkey wheel represents should be obvious, I'm not going to bore you with that.
 It's probably at the Luxor, thus Ramses.
