King Tut's Tomb and Museum
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.
