What is this obsession about Titanic? I am not sure either but I am hooked!
When I found out that there was an exhibition on Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, I know I need to pay this place a visit. The exhibit is a collection of artifacts that was recovered during the excavation. It is both materials from the ship and personal items from the passengers.
It is arranged based on cabin class, you can really tell the difference of the meaning of luxury back then. It even have a replica of the cabins. The first class sections would cost about $70k at present time, it is just a small room with a full size bed and a private bathroom that has running hot and cold water.
The third class fare would be around $750, their cabins are small enough to fit 2 bunk beds. They are only allowed to bathe only once a week.
The exhibition is still worth a visit even if it has a hefty entrance fee, no pictures allowed. You will be warned that your camera will be confiscated if not followed. I didn't risk it.
The only photo I am allowed to take - outside!
Last year, we went to Foxploration, Fox studios movie set theme park in Baja, Mexico. It is a real movie set that people are allowed to view them, it is still an active studio. Here are some more memorabilia, its not authentic from the above exhibition but if you saw the movie, you get my drift.
