3900 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, NV , 89119-1004 Phone: (702) 262-4400 Website A century ago, Howard Carter made the greatest archeological discovery of all time when he uncovered the lost tomb of Tutankhamun and its magnificent treasure trove. Celebrate this amazing find by exploring the immersive exhibition Discovering King Tut’s Tomb, now open at Luxor. Follow in Carter’s footsteps, peer through the wall of the antechamber, unlock the burial room, and come face-to-face with the mummy. Behold the artistry of the nested coffins and view Tut’s notorious death mask. Discover why the Egyptians used mummification as a way to preserve and honor their pharaoh leader. Enter a world that sparkles with gold and learn what the treasures themselves reveal about the boy king and ancient Egyptian culture. With the audio guide, guests can transport themselves back in time by hearing Howard’s own retelling of the moment he first set foot inside the tomb. Through virtual reality, guests can explore the rooms and artifacts themselves just as they were left over 3000 years ago. Light your torch, break the seal, defy the “mummy’s curse” and enter - if you dare. By Discovering King Tut’s Tomb, you’ll unearth the sights, sounds and wonders of ancient Egypt.
