Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor: What to Expect

The Titanic Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor Hotel & Casino is a museum-style experience that combines more than 350 recovered objects from the wreck with reconstructed sections of the ship’s interior. Visitors move through themed galleries that present the vessel’s design, passenger stories, and final hours in a factual, chronological way.

The Titanic has long been a point of interest for us, and we wanted to see whether the exhibit was actually worth a visit.

What there is to see and do

  • Take a self-guided walk through each of the exhibits
  • Read interpretive plaques and exhibit panels featuring real passenger stories
  • View more than 350 recovered artifacts, including a large section of the ship’s hull
  • Receive a randomly assigned passenger boarding pass and learn your outcome at the end of the exhibit
  • Add-on experiences:
    • Audio Guide
    • Guided Tour
    • Professional photo on a recreation of the Grand Staircase

How long you actually need

  • Internet estimate: 60 to 90 minutes
  • Our visit: 50 minutes

We felt our 50-minute visit was sufficient. You could easily spend more time if you read every plaque, if the museum is busier, or if you add the Grand Staircase photo. Overall, an hour should be plenty for most visitors.

Crowds and timing

We visited on a weekday in the late afternoon and found crowds to be light. We had no issues viewing exhibits, and the line for the balcony photo was short. If you want to minimize crowds, early mornings, late afternoons, and weekdays are your best options. The exhibit space is fairly large, so even with higher attendance, we think it would still be manageable.

Access to the Exhibit

The exhibit is easy to find inside the Luxor. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or at the door. We bought tickets on-site to avoid service fees, but as locals we needed to show ID to receive the resident discount. Discounts are sometimes available online, so it’s worth checking before you go.

What we liked and what we did not

What we liked

  • The level of detail and amount of information provided
  • The exhibits were immersive
  • Receiving a boarding pass tied to a real Titanic passenger added meaningful context

What we will remember the most

  • Placing our hands in a basin of water set to the temperatures passengers endured
  • Standing next to a large iceberg and imagining seeing it from the ship in the dark of night
  • Seeing the Grand Staircase recreation in person
  • Finding out if your passenger survived at the end of the exhibit (one of us survived and the other did not)

What we didn’t like

  • Paying extra for the professional staircase photo after already purchasing tickets
  • While non-flash photography was allowed in most areas, videography was not permitted

Would we go back?

We wouldn’t seek out another visit, but if a friend or relative wanted to go, we’d be fine returning. There are enough exhibits and plaques that a second visit could still surface things you missed unless you spend significant time reading everything.
