There is a story in the 3rd grade reading book about the Titanic and every 3rd grader in Las Vegas is obsessed. Camryn asked for a ticket to see the Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor for Christmas. We went the Tuesday after Christmas - it was free for teachers day!
As you walked in, we were given passage tickets with information about a real passenger on the back. They showed film and photos of the ship being built and recreations of rooms the passengers stayed in, along with many artifacts that have been recovered form the ship.
This area looked like the deck of the ship overlooking the sea.
There was a huge iceberg in one room and the largest section of the ship that has been brought up in another room. It was huge, but when we saw the diagram of where that piece fit on the ship, it was just a very small section. I have a better understanding of why the ship was named Titanic.
At the end of the exhibit, we could look up whether the passengers on our tickets survived the disaster. We both lived!
