    Sept 1 (Reuters) - A new exhibition that celebrates the life
of the late Princess Diana opens in Las Vegas on Friday, days
after the 25th anniversary of her death in a car crash in Paris.
    "Princess Diana: A Tribute Exhibition" features over 700
original royal artifacts, including evening gowns and other
personal items at The Shops at Crystals adjacent to the Aria
Resort & Casino. 
    One of the main attractions is a replica of Diana’s wedding
dress, which was created by Belgian artist Isabelle de
Borchgrave. Visitors can walk across the 25-foot-long train
that’s protected under glass.
    David Corelli, curator and producer of the exhibition, said
the wedding area of the exhibit inspired the creators to offer
guests packages for their own nuptials inside the “Wedding of
the Century" room, which includes a full ceremony and a private
dinner amongst regal memorabilia. 
    “Vegas is the wedding capital of the world. There are
120,000 weddings that happen in the city every year, so here we
have this amazing room celebrating the most famous wedding of
all time with unbelievable artifacts surrounding you,” Corelli
said. 
    With an "intricate recreation of Diana’s wedding dress to a
tee in an art piece," he said, "we thought 'why not create one
of those you can only get it in Las Vegas-type moments?’”
    The exhibit does not just showcase Diana. There are
artifacts that connect to several royal family members,
including Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and even
items connected to Queen Victoria from the 1800s.
