The Best Las Vegas Museums & Exhibits
"The Luxor Although promoted as a casino attraction, "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" certainly qualifies as a museum with its deep collection of relics recovered from the doomed ocean liner. Some of the materials stored in leather luggage are in pristine condition, but what really sets this exhibit apart from similar collections is "the big piece" -- a chunk of the ship's wall that is the largest ever recovered. Along the way, you'll also experience recreations of the outdoor deck and the elegant staircase made famous in, you know, that movie."
"If you’ve never seen a piece of the mysterious Titanic up close, then you’ll want to hit up this top museum in Las Vegas. The Titanic exhibition displays several authentic artifacts recovered from the sunken Titanic ocean liner. Chef hats, wrenches, fine china, and chandeliers are just a few of the over 250 artifacts on display."
"It’s been years since I last visited the Titanic exhibit, but the haunting sights have stayed with me. The exhibit transports guests to a lost world of glamour and tragedy. The artifacts are incredible, and you’ll feel both awe and empathy as you learn about the doomed ship.” –C."
