LUX (Large Underground Xenon) is a two-phase Time Projection Chamber that will instrument 350 kg of Xenon, 100 kg of which will form a fiducially active target for WIMP interactions. It will be deployed at the Sanford Underground Science and Engineering Lab at the Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota. The Early Implementation Program of Sanford Lab is providing space at the 4850 feet level for LUX. The first detector with 120 photomultiplier tubes is being constructed and is projected to start collecting data in late 2009. Estimated background rates and LUX sensitivity to WIMP like Dark Matter particles will be presented. At the same time, we are engaged in planning for future detectors of this kind. Besides scaling to larger target masses, several new technological avenues are also being pursued. Status of LUX and plans for a roadmap for the future will be presented.
