Sands® Cotai Central is calling all sleuths to don their detective caps and head over to Sheraton Macao Hotel, Cotai Central’s Caspian Ballroom starting April 1, for the amazing CSI: The Experience – Macau, an interactive, must-see forensics exhibit running daily until June 15, from 11 am to 8 pm.
Co-presented by Sands Cotai Central and Sheraton Macao Hotel, CSI: The Experience – Macau, an intriguing interactive exhibit where visitors try their hand at solving mysteries, is a popular exhibit with a permanent home in Las Vegas, as well as a touring exhibit. It gives visitors the opportunity to play the role of a crime scene investigator from the American hit TV show series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Visitors will familiarise themselves with scientific principles and genuine investigative techniques as they try to solve one of three crime scene scenarios. With input from investigators from the TV show, along with their real-life forensic science counterparts, visitors will formulate a hypothesis, validate their finds based on scientific evidence and try to crack the case.
Every aspiring Dick Tracy, Nancy Drew, Vanessa Mars, and Sherlock Holmes can head over to Sands Cotai Central to pit their sleuthing skills against the experts. They will have a chance to investigate the scene of the crime, take notes, make observations on fingerprints, blood samples, clothing fibres, DNA samples, bullets and other forensic evidence. Additional clues are provided in the form of a large wall bearing crime scene photos, and visitors will have a chance to test for evidence in two highly interactive lab areas and autopsy rooms. In the end, visitors can submit their conclusions and learn whether or not they “cracked the case.”
The latest in Sands Cotai Central and Sheraton Macao Hotel’s array of fun activities, the exhibit makes use of real scientific principles and the most advanced scientific techniques used by real crime scene investigators and forensic scientists today. Students interested in an educational experience will not be disappointed as they use the process of scientific inquiry to identify, analyse, formulate, validate and communicate.
