This attraction at the Luxor Las Vegas
is a full-scale reproduction of King Tutankhamen's Tomb, one of
the greatest archeological finds of all time. The measurements
of each of the rooms are exactly the same as the original. Every
detail was laboriously recreated as workers used the same gold
leaf and linens, precious pigments, tools and original 3,300-year-old
methods to recreate the treasures found in the tomb. Howard
Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovered King Tut's Tomb in the Valley
of Kings at Luxor in 1922, and all items have been faithfully
arranged according to their journals.
A four minute film is shown before
you are allowed into the tomb. Once inside, you can pick up a
listening device to hear the 20-minute audio tour. The tour is
self-guided, so you will not be rushed. Although it is not
quite the original, it's worth the $4 admission. Why not complete
the journey- while in Las Vegas you can say you've been to New
York, Ancient Rome and now King Tut's Tomb. Open Sunday
through Thursday 9am - 11pm, Friday & Saturday 9am -11:30
pm.
