The ride begins in the elevator as a snapped cable leaves you plunging into the depths of an excavation. A series of twists and turns ensue as the battle over the obelisk continues, including a high-speed chase through the mysterious caverns in the archeological dig site.
This is a two part mini version of both Universal’s Backdraft and Back To The Future’s ride. It is a “simulation” ride so you have to pretend that you are part of an archaeological tour of an ancient mine, you go down this tunnel then you embark on a very short backdraft-like stairwell fall down the mine shaft, after that you go to a “Back to Future” type simulation ride where we were chasing a villain through a hover craft that flew through a mine on a movie screen. The screen made it look like we were twirling and was actually fun. The admission was $10…not a bad way to spend some time away from the casino’s.

"Better things to do in Vegas"
If really want to be part of a crew racing against an arch enemy through the pyramids, you now have a chance! In Search of the Obelisk is a motion-simulator ride that’s like a roller coaster . You Feel the adrenalin rush when you start plummeting down a sabotaged elevator! Then we were chasing a villain through a hover craft that went flying through a mine, the screen made it looked we were twirling and was actually fun for a short bit.
