Everyone
knows the story of how RMS Titanic sank 100 years ago, but not many are aware
that RMS is an abbreviation for Royal Mail Ship and that Titanic was
responsible for transporting more than 7 million pieces of mail over the
Atlantic. This year, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Luxor Hotel and Casino
honors one of the Ship’s primary purposes by collecting wish lists and
delivering personalized replies from old St. Nicholas himself, allowing all
little girls and boys to sleep soundly knowing their letter has made it safely
to the North Pole. To thank The Exhibition for its assistance, Santa will visit
The Grand Staircase Dec. 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to personally collect
letters and take photos with both the naughty and the nice.
“It
is a little-known fact that Titanic was responsible for delivering thousands of
sacks of mail for the British postal service,” said Katherine Seymour, Vice
President of Public Relations. “I can’t think of a more fitting way to honor
The Ship’s legacy during the holidays than to bring smiles to the faces of
children with a note from Santa. To make it even more special, the entire
family has the opportunity to take a photo with the man himself on one of the
world’s most recognized places – The Grand Staircase of RMS Titanic. Here’s to
a new holiday tradition!”
If
unable to meet Santa in person, there is no need to fret because kids can drop
their letters into designated RMS Titanic Letter Boxes located at The
Exhibition and at all Yogurtland locations now through Christmas Eve. Children
expecting a jovial reply from Santa should be sure to include an email address
with their letter.
Guests
who bring their personal cameras will be allowed to take a photo with Santa on
the Grand Staircase; there will also be an opportunity to purchase photos.
Please note that photos will not be allowed in any other gallery. General
admission for Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is $32 for adults, $24 for
children and $30 for seniors. Hours of
operation are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with the last tickets being sold at 9 p.m.
