Performers from Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque reenact the work of explorer Howard Carter and his wealthy patron, Lord Carnarvon, in Egypt's Valley of the Kings.

Cocktails are served on the first and second floors of the center. Bar One oversaw cocktail catering; rentals by Town and Country Event Rentals.

Guests proceed to dinner via a passage evoking Carter's exclamation that he saw "wonderful things" in Tut's tomb. Images by Lighting oversaw lighting.

Guests proceed to the Samuel Oschin Pavilion for dinner, catered by Kensington Caterers. LocoL provided catering crew.

The center's signature installation--the Space Shuttle Endeavour--is video-mapped to the Tut theme by BartKresa Studio.
