It was OK
by El Duderino on 3/23/25King Tut: The Exhibition at Luxor Hotel and Casino - Las VegasRating: 3 out of 5For someone who wants to learn a little about the ancient Egyptians, it's fine. For anyone well-versed in Egyptology, only a trip to Cairo to see the real thing would suffice. I have seen the golden mask in person, and it seems too perfect to have been made by human hands, but instead by their gods. The golden mask in this Las Vegas rendition is not shiny, perfectly smooth gold... no, this one is a matte gold. Looks like they used gold spray paint to simulate actual gold. This would be a great place for classrooms of kids to be exposed to archaeology, specifically Egyptology, and perhaps give them just enough visualization to really spark an interest and a desire to learn and know much more. It was a 4 until the spraypainted-looking mask display. A high res color photograph of the real object would have been so much better.
