At the beginning, I thought it was Mystery Science Theater 3000, and I was looking forward to watching an awful movie with Mike and the bots.

Looks like a typical, cheesy, roundy-rounder video game. I visited the Luxor in the late 1990's for a concert, stayed for three days, but don't remember this attraction advertised at the time. It may not have been as great a sell as Trumbull hoped.
