You left out the two newest 3D attraction, not yetdiscussed on this list,
they are:

Sahara's 3D Motion Theaters, two small 3D simulator rides
that use cardboard polarized glasses. Great place
to go for an upset stomach & a brain concussion, from
the headrest during several dips.

And IMAX Corp/Caesars World's Race To Atlantis.
The first IMAX simulator film in 3D.

The attraction is a lot of fun (imagine Back to the Future,
the ride in 3D). The ride is only about 3.5 minutes, but
the preshow is also in 3D for a total of about 8 minutes.
The sound is great with the IMAX personal
Sound Environment (PSE) sound system. The
computer animation by Rhythm and Hues
http://www.rhythm.com
rivals the 3D work they did for EFX and is far
superior to their work on the other new & non-3D
attraction in Vegas-STAR TREK: The Experience.
Star Trek, I must say is also a lot of fun and should
not be missed.

Thanks for the time,
