  • Unlike many travelling museums, the titanic artifact exhibition at the Luxor is a permanent one. I had wanted to fit a visit to this place every since we got to Las Vegas. And we weren't disappointed. Some historical galleries stick in your mind for time to come...they evoke the depths of our empathy by showcasing life as we know and live it every day. I have in the past visited some famous galleries highlighting turning points in history- the concentration camp at Auschwitz , the Tower of London, etc. And though this Titanic exhibit is minuscule in comparison to the above, it does immense justice in showcasing a bit of what life was like on board the Titanic and beyond. One can be prepared to spend an hour to a couple of hours here just gazing at the amazing artifacts (several of them unearthed undamaged from the depths of the Atlantic). With a coupon we got $5 off our admission (up to a max of 4 adults per coupon). Credit cards are accepted for payment and for $8 more you can get an audio tour included. What amused me quite a bit was that before entering the exhibit, you are handed a boarding pass with the name of an actual passenger and the class in which they traveled. Just before you exit the exhibit, you look the name up on a wall that lists passengers by name and class. You can then tell if you survived or perished in the tragedy. Just FYI, I was a second class passenger who survived... Some of the highlights of the exhibit personally for me were: - The block of iceberg in the temperature controlled zone that gives you an idea of what the temperature in the Atlantic was that night - The china, the dishes, the cutlery- a lot of them with the White Star Line logo and recovered intact from the ocean. There is even an archway recovered from one of the restaurants. - Tons and tons of personal artificats including documents and itinieries recovered from baggage of passengers - Portion of the actual hull recovered from the ship with cabin windows - Re-creation of portion of the deck with stars in the ceiling to give you an idea of how the night looked before the iceberg strike - The Grand Staircase (yes, just like in the movie). Re-created beautifully and providing a wonderful photo opp... - And there is just so much more...accompanied with personal stories of hope and tragedy.. Definitely worth a visit if one is in Las Vegas.
