Summer is here!! Student discounts at Bodies and Titanic Exhibits!

Summer break is just around the corner and whether parents are looking for activities to fill the pending “camp gap weeks” or the entire summer, BODIES…The Exhibition and Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition present two enlightening options at a great price. Conveniently located on the Atrium Level of Luxor Hotel and Casino, students can enjoy a 30 percent discount while the entire family escapes the sizzling temperatures and experiences two of the most intriguing and educational attractions Las Vegas has to offer; all without stepping one foot on the casino floor.

Cooler than any textbook, BODIES…The Exhibition showcases real human bodies and organs in a way that brings anatomy class to life. Students discover the inner workings of the miraculous machine they inhabit by exploring the skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems with authentic, three-dimensional specimens. Younger children learn interesting facts such as their bones grow faster in the springtime and that there are 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. In an effort to promote healthy and safe decisions, teenagers get an up close and personal look at a smoker’s lung riddled with tar and a cirrhotic liver destroyed by alcohol abuse.

2012 marks 100 years since the infamous launch and eventual sinking of the Ship of Dreams and at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, that history lesson comes alive through dramatic room recreations and authentic artifacts recovered from the depths of the Atlantic. Upon entering The Exhibition, guests are given a boarding pass with the story of a real person who boarded Titanic, beginning their experience of what life was like in 1912.  For example, the 700 third-class passengers shared two bathtubs. The journey continues as guests get a picture taken on the Grand Staircase, glance inside cabins and test their ability to withstand the frigid temperatures that passengers endured that fateful night by placing their hand on an iceberg. Before discovering the fate of their passenger on the Memorial Wall, students stand before the largest artifact ever recovered – a 15 ton section of the Ship’s hull appropriately called the “Big Piece.”
