BODIES…The Exhibition Celebrates First Anniversary at Luxor Hotel & Casino

 

LAS VEGAS (September 1, 2009)

Las Vegas One year ago, the world-renowned BODIES…The Exhibition made the move to Luxor Hotel & Casino adding an exciting and educational addition to the property’s Atrium Level. In celebration of its success, BODIES is offering guests a complimentary massage courtesy of the Academy of Healing Arts and a delicious Cupcakery cupcake on August 15.

Since opening its doors at Luxor, the Exhibition has:

• Showcased 12 full-body and 263 partial-body specimens and organs
• Been seen by more than 298,000 guests
• Motivated more than 500 guests to throw away their cigarettes and quit smoking
• Inspired XX guests to become organ donors
• Hosted more than 235 field trips with more than 8,300 inquisitive Las Vegas students
• Given private tours to celebrities such as Mel Gibson, Michael Bublé and Carrot Top

Described as a “life-changing experience,” BODIES…The Exhibition is one of the most fascinating and educational experiences in Las Vegas. The real human bodies have been meticulously dissected, preserved through an innovative process and respectfully presented, giving visitors the opportunity to view the beauty and complexity of their own organs and systems like never before.

In addition to providing an up-close look inside our skeletal, muscular, respiratory and circulatory systems, the Exhibition encourages healthy lifestyle choices. Authentic human specimens illustrate the damage caused to organs by smoking, over-eating and lack of exercise.
