    This was a delightful self guided tour. Even though all the items were replicas, the provided information was accurate and very well done. If you love Egypt history and especially King Tut, I highly recommend this exhibit.

    Although the artifacts are reproductions and not the originals, they are very well made, and the exhibition is quite fascinating. The ambiance is great too because the room is dark, there's Egyptian music playing in the background, so it takes you back to another world. One of my favorites was the chariot, the bust of Nefertari, and they even recreated Tut's sarcophagi. You feel like you're in ancient Egypt. As always, everything related to King Tut is always intriguing, and this is no exception. Definitely worth it.

    I might be a tad bit biased when it comes to this topic, giving the fact that I love everything ancient Egypt. But I must say I really enjoyed myself during my latest Luxor casino visit to the Discovering King Tuts tomb exhibit. Although everything that's on display is a replica, to the casinos credit they did however link up with the experts in this particular field like archaeologist, Egyptians and Egyptologist to create accurate or nearly accurate models of the original/authentic pieces. This exhibit is chalked full of photo ops, wonderful discoveries, historical facts and at the very end they have a well stocked gift shop where you can purchase a souvenir or two for the whole family. I would recommend checking this exhibit out to anyone who is interested/captivated by ancient Egypt as countless others are, myself included. It was a great experience and it'll hold me over until I take my long awaited trip across the pond to visit the British museum and my highly anticipated trip to the motherland to visit, various other museums of Egyptian antiquity/cultural heritage sites like the great Egyptian museum in Giza, the Egyptian museum in Cairo and last, but certainly not least the pièce de résistance. Which is actually visiting the great pyramids of Giza.

    It was just OK. They put this exhibit right next to the Titanic exhibit, so you think that this one will also have real king tut artifacts. Nope. ... You go in, and of course you get your picture taken so they could sell it to you at the end in the obligatory gift shop stop... And the first thing you see is a movie about finding the tomb. Then you go into the exhibit itself. It is interesting, and it's nice to hear the stories, but other than photos, and newspaper articles about the finding, all of the "artifacts" are replicas. None of them we're actually from King tut. They were very good quality, but I was still kind of disappointed. I'm glad I had my Go City pass, because if I would've had to pay for this exhibit? I would not have been thrilled... The exhibits were interesting, but I would've probably taken my card to a different activity. Thank you anyway. Thanks anyway.

    My wife had just seen the King Tut exhibit in Washington DC so she wanted to check this exhibit to see how it compared. We just got the regular reserved tickets at the box office (they offer a local discount) and we were satisfied with just reading as we walked through the exhibit. This is a very nice exhibit and provides a good over view of the Egypitian culture, King Tut and discovery of his tomb and what was found inside. Overall, we had a great experience and re-ignited our interest in visiting Egypt someday in the future.

    This whole experience would've been made amazing if the person working the front desk was interested in her job. She was extremely moody. The pictures would've been better at the start if she mentioned the props. The experience after we left her was very interesting.

    Came here last weekend to check out the recreation of King Tut's Tomb. Located at the Luxor at the entrance of the Gift Shop. Immediately, greeted by the host, very friendly. First, started with a video which is the gateway to the learning experience of King Tuts life, the mummification process, learning different Gods and how the life of King Tuts impacts on today's culture and architecture. Our package included a telephone guided tour and the VR reality at the end of the tour. A great educational experience and very kid friendly for families.

    This exhibit could be better - it's underwhelming and overpriced to be honest. I was excited when I got free "all inclusive" tickets since it brings me back to my childhood memories because I was into Egyptian culture and archeology when I was little. I've been to similar exhibitions in other countries, so I already knew the exhibition does not display any of the actual treasures, and artifacts are recreated to be exact facsimiles of the actual items. Although the exhibition itself has a good intention to educate children and people, the main issue I had with this place was staff and their reluctance to help customers. The first part of this exhibit is a movie (well, you are going to take a souvenir photo first). Unfortunately, the staff had very low energy and didn't explain anything to us but handed out some kind of ticket after he punched some holes. After we finished the video, we began our tour of King Tut's tomb. Replicas looked pretty cheap and unreal compared to other Egyptian exhibitions and they could have done it better, in my opinion. For some reasons, I could not really concentrate so I ended up not using the audio guide either. Once you finish touring, you will see your photo with a paper frame on the shelf. Since I had TWO "all-inclusive" tickets, I grabbed one and asked the staff if I can get one more photo. She asked me to show her the hole-punched ticket that I received at the beginning of the exhibit. After she looked at the hole-punched ticket, she called her coworker and got mad at him since he didn't punch the hole correctly. I mean, you have customers in front of you, you shouldn't be that upset. Anyways, we started our VR experience while she was printing out one more photo for us. I would definitely pass on the extra charge for the VR. My VR audio didn't even work but since I was already so disappointed with everything, I didn't even bother to ask to change my VR headset. It was also very laggy and it's basically reading the scripts that you already have read from the exhibit, and you probably know most of the information already. This exhibit could be much much better, especially when the ticket ranges $32 to $80 with a parking fee if you are not NV local. (Free for 3 hrs if you are local).

    The overall experience was really great. I remember of staff even the box office agents were very pleasant and helpful. The pre-show reveal was actually pretty cool and I wasn't even expecting it. I think my favorite part is the fact that there are no actual historical artifacts in this exhibit. It's all reproductions done by artisans who know how to make these things. And personally, that feels a lot better than knowing that some priceless Egyptian antiquity is sitting in Las Vegas. All in all, the experience does focus pretty heavily on the "triumphs" of the expedition team. It does briefly touch on the damage that they did. But it does kind of gloss it over. Seeing the life size replicas of the tomb and the sarcophagus were pretty cool. And the deeper instruction on the gods and their religious hierarchy is nice. All in all, this is a great place to go if you know nothing about ancient egypt and would like to learn more.

I will say that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how much material they packed into this tour and given that it is almost 3 hours, you really do get a lot of bang for your buck. There is a free parking lot attached and as many will point out this is not in a great part of town so if you are visiting during the night it is best to be driven in and out versus walking in and out. They do not allow photography inside so I only have a few pictures from the beginning of the visit, but I would definitely recommend to anyone because it is a really fun experience and it is also very unique. As mentioned I don't believe in any of these things so it was even fun for a non-believer like myself. Overall, a really fun Vegas activity and I would recommend to anyone, and if you are a believer it is even more of a memorable experience I would imagine.

However, I did not have a good experience with Meow Wolf the business. I had a very small window of availability in Vegas because I was only transiting through for a very short time, and I was really excited to check out Omega Mart. First, we bought tickets for one day. Two weeks after the purchase, Omega Mart sent me an email that they had decided to open later on that specific day and rescheduled us to their new opening time. I asked for a refund, stating we could not make that time. They refused to refund me at first, telling me to just change the day I visit. I think not refunding immediately was poor on their part, since not everyone is from Vegas or in town long enough to be able to accommodate when they suddenly decide to change their hours. Next, on our last night in Vegas, we realized that we actually would be able to squeeze in a 2 hour visit from sometime after 9 to their closing time at 11 (we originally planned to spend the next day, our last day in Vegas, there). Around 7pm, I tried to call Omega Mart to figure out logistics (how sensitive the ticket windows are). However, the phone number on their VEGAS website redirects to a line in DENVER that has different hours. So we figured it would be safest to just buy tickets after we got there. Apparently after 9pm tickets shoot up to $75. That's wasn't posted anywhere, and since no one had picked up the phone, I had no way to learn that information. The way I learned was arriving at 9:03 pm. Sad.
