CSI: The Experience Description
Calling all crime scene investigator wannabes!
If you ever had the itch to become a crime scene investigator but never got a chance to test out your skills, this is your perfect opportunity.
At
CSI: The Experience at MGM Grand, you'll go through a series of steps
that will get you thinking like a real investigator. See how science and
critical thinking combine as you piece together the clues in one of
three crime scene mysteries. There are a total of three murders and 15
suspects, so you'll really get your mind going.
"Our hands-on exhibit allow the guest to get involved, which has inspired many to pursue a career in CSI [and] forensics," said Ava Bahnam, marketing manager for CSI: The Experience. "We put guests in the driver's seat. They are getting an interactive experience solving a crime using the techniques as a crime scene investigator would use."
Before you start, you'll be given an investigation sheet to record your observations. The experience begins with a video introduction by the show's creator, Anthony E. Zuiker as well cast members from the hit TV show.
Don't let the thought of science intimidate you. The
attraction takes you through a series of steps to make it a fun and
educational experience. You'll tap into everything from DNA and
fingerprint analysis to forensic anthropology.
"We have agents on duty to assist when needed," Bahnam added.
Choose from one of three crime scenes, which appear like life-size dioramas. "A House Collided," displays a car through a living room window; "Who Got Served?" shows a young woman found dead behind a motel and "No Bones about It!" shows a human skull (along with other bones) buried in the desert. Each crime scene showcases bizarre clues that you'll want to jot down.
After exiting the crime scene you selected, you'll come across a panel of photos to take notes on anything you may have missed. You'll then visit two interactive lab areas, each featuring multiple stations with touch screens and other multimedia equipment that allow you to test your findings.
In addition, you'll even have the option to record yourself explaining your observations. This footage may be used for future participants to see.
At the end of CSI: The
Experience, you'll answer a series of multiple choice questions based on
your scientific findings. After you complete these questions on a touch
screen, you'll see a re-enactment of what really happened.
Upon
completion, you can purchase a personalized CSI diploma. Or, bring home a
certificate which includes a photo of yourself taken at the attraction.
For this photo, you'll get to wear a CSI vest and pose in front of a
green screen. The gift shop carries a variety of memorabilia, including
T-shirts, mouse pads, hats and laptop bags.
