Narrative:
Flight planned to las via the grnpa one RNAV arrival. Neither the flight plan nor the FMC had the luxor intersection between the ksino intersection and the grnpa intersection. Luxor has both a crossing restr and an airspeed restr; and is not on a straight line between ksino and grnpa. Both flight plan and FMC data displayed ksino direct to grnpa. As the paper flight plan agreed with the FMC programmed arrival procedure; I am fairly certain that we did not make a data entry or programming error. I do not know if this was a one time glitch; or if the luxor intersection is being omitted from all flight plans and FMC arrival programming. Please check to avoid a deviation or worse.

Title: B757 CREW DISCOVERS THAT A FIX IS MISSING FROM THE GRNPA ONE ARR INTO LAS.
Narrative: FLT PLANNED TO LAS VIA THE GRNPA ONE RNAV ARR. NEITHER THE FLT PLAN NOR THE FMC HAD THE LUXOR INTXN BTWN THE KSINO INTXN AND THE GRNPA INTXN. LUXOR HAS BOTH A XING RESTR AND AN AIRSPD RESTR; AND IS NOT ON A STRAIGHT LINE BTWN KSINO AND GRNPA. BOTH FLT PLAN AND FMC DATA DISPLAYED KSINO DIRECT TO GRNPA. AS THE PAPER FLT PLAN AGREED WITH THE FMC PROGRAMMED ARR PROC; I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT WE DID NOT MAKE A DATA ENTRY OR PROGRAMMING ERROR. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WAS A ONE TIME GLITCH; OR IF THE LUXOR INTXN IS BEING OMITTED FROM ALL FLT PLANS AND FMC ARR PROGRAMMING. PLEASE CHK TO AVOID A DEV OR WORSE.
