Hey this is wonderful. You can see King Tut right there in Las Vegas. He resides at the Luxor.

An authentic reproduction of King Tutankhamun's tomb. The measurements of each of the rooms are exact. The treasures therein were reproduced by artisans using the same gold leaf and linens, precious pigments, tools and original 3,300-year-old methods, and each is meticulously positioned according to the records maintained by the Carter expedition.
The exhibit houses hundreds of reproductions, including the world-famous guardian statues, King Tut's sarcophagus, and an array of statues, vases, beds, baskets and pottery.

When I was younger we went on a trip to Washington DC and visited the museum there. We missed King Tut by a week. I was so disappointed that I didn't get to see him. It was a dream of mine to do so. Now I can see what I missed even if the real King Tut isn't really there.

This is one place I will be going to view when I get back to Las Vegas. I love all things to do with Egypt, the pyramids, and their history.

This will be very exciting to see. I hope my daughter is there to view it with me. She likes the same things I do so the two of us would really enjoy it.

I do too Iluvvegas! I am a bit of a history buff. This kind of stuff facinates me. It is remarkable the things that they built and designed so long ago! They didn't have power tools and computers and all of that stuff that makes things so much easier. I just love to see these kinds of things.

Yes, it is amazing how they managed to build everything that they did with only primitive tools and manpower.

But that being said, what I most enjoy about things of this nature is the beauty of it.

Anything Egypt amazes me. I still can not figure out how they did all the stuff they did,

Some of it is not even done today. It is a mystery I guess we will never know.
