20508: The Jonas Brothers Tour Titanic Exhibit

Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Touching an actual iceberg and feeling the teeth-chattering temperature as they stood on a replica of the Promenade Deck, the singing sensations experienced the night of April 14, 1912 as they walked through the 25,000 sq. ft. exhibit, gazing at a hand mirror which had once cast the reflection of a woman aboard the "ship of dreams," diamond rings that had twinkled in the glow of chandeliers as their owner walked down the Grand Staircase, and a celebratory bottle of champagne, still waiting to be uncorked almost one hundred years later.
