| - I've been to the Titanic exhibition twice now and I can definitely say you'll leave impressed. Luxor's official website lists General Admission at $32, but if you go to any Tix4Tonight box office on the strip, you can get day of tickets for $20. Once you get to the exhibit, you're given your official boarding pass, with a real passenger name from the Titanic.
A staff member proceeds to take a few snap shots and you're voyage begins. The exhibit is great in that it moves at whatever pace you want. You can spend hours reading and viewing all the artifacts or rush through it in 20 minutes. The artifacts are mesmerizing and I'd like to say is one of a kind. The people behind the exhibit spent plenty of time making sure the attraction is top-notch and thoroughly enjoyable.
I can't recall everything on the tour, but I did specifically enjoy seeing the vast differences in accommodations for first class, second class, and third class passengers. The grand staircase with the grandfather clock is every girl's dream and another opportunity for picture taking. Other sections of the exhibit that were impressive included the ice cold iceberg, the recreation of the first class deck, and a piece of the actual ship, which is near the end of the exhibit.
I would say the exhibit is as close to perfect as can be. However, I do wish they incorporated some video into the tour. There's been plenty of prime-time specials on the sinking of the Titanic, along with its mass Hollywood appeal. A screening room with some video could have really made it perfect for me. Nevertheless, Titanic - The Artifact Exhibition is one of the best (and most affordable) attractions in Las Vegas. Lastly, before you make your way out, check your boarding pass and see if you're a survivor or one of the many that was lost on that dark, cold night in the Atlantic.
Pros:
+ Affordable
+ All ages
+ Impressive artifact collection and presentation
+ Tour at your own pace
+ Gift shop
Cons:
- No video incorporated into exhibit
